UK Horse Racing Tips: York

Blue For You has been out of luck so far this term but David O'Meara's gelding is now 4lb lower than when landing the corresponding race 12 months ago, and he must feature prominently in calculations. La Trinidad won this in 2021 and his recent Redcar victory suggests another bold showing is likely. The unexposed ELNAJMM was a commanding winner on his handicap bow last month, though, and given that he ought to improve further, a 10lb hike might not be enough to prevent him from going in again.
Prediction : 1st Elnajmm 2nd Blue For You 3rd La Trinidad

Having all but refused to race in the Dash at Epsom last month, CLARENDON HOUSE was able to atone in a Listed race at Cork next time out. He was really impressive when scoring over C&D in May and is fancied to take all of the beating. Starlust failed to make an impact in the Commonwealth Cup last time but he can fare better in these calmer waters, while similar comments apply to Emaraaty Ana and Rogue Lightning.
Prediction : 1st Clarendon House 2nd Starlust 3rd Emaraaty Ana

A wide-open contest and only a tentative vote can go to FLYING FRONTIER. James Tate's charge chased home a couple of useful types at the end of last season and there was encouragement to be taken from his Sandown reappearance. The unexposed son of Farhh ought to relish the step back up in trip, while the likely strong pace will also suit. Runner-up in the Wolferton, Haunted Dream is of interest returned to handicaps, while Epic Poet, Enfjaar, Liberty Lane and Paradias are just a handful of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Flying Frontier 2nd Haunted Dream 3rd Epic Poet

Klondike beat Salt Bay (second) by a short head in the Ebor Grand Cup over track and trip last month, but the latter arguably has more scope for improvement over this distance and could reverse the form. However, they could both be up against it to deny DEAUVILLE LEGEND the win. James Ferguson's five-year-old took the Great Voltigeur here in 2022 and he produced a much better effort to finish third in the Fred Archer at Newmarket last time. Al Qareem is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Deauville Legend 2nd Salt Bay 3rd Al Qareem

Alashos made every yard of the running to score by a neck at Lingfield earlier in the month and he should be competitive on his nursery debut off a mark of 75. However, the vote goes to TRIPLE CHARGED, who wasn't disgraced in third behind Electrolyte on his penultimate start at Ayr and ran too bad to be true when well beaten at Hamilton last time. Karl Burke's yard remains in great form and he looks the one to be on. Eighteen Fourteen and Perfidia are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Triple Charged 2nd Alashos 3rd Eighteen Fourteen

LETSBEFRANK showed further progress when upped to 1m6f at Thirsk and returning a cosy winner. This extra distance looks well within his compass, and the hat-trick beckons for Jim Goldie's four-year-old. The veteran Red Force One is enjoying a new lease of life and landed a treble courtesy of last month's Newmarket success, while Tailorman remains unexposed and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Letsbefrank 2nd Red Force One 3rd Tailorman

A prolific winner on the all-weather, DARK SIDE THUNDER can record his first success on turf. Jessica Macey's sprinter has been raised only 1lb for finishing runner-up over C&D last month and another bold showing looks on the cards. Rock Opera won a shade cosily over 6f at Doncaster and makes more appeal than Elegant Erin, who scored over the minimum trip at Newcastle. As If By Chance, Treacherous and Trilby are others worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Dark Side Thunder 2nd Rock Opera 3rd Elegant Erin
