UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

Jet Packer learnt plenty from his racecourse bow when finishing second at Newbury a fortnight ago and Richard Hannon's colt makes plenty of appeal on paper. That being said, the sixth from that contest, SPELL MASTER, wasn't disgraced on his first experience when shaping as though an extra furlong wouldn't go amiss and the son of Kameko is taken to continue the excellent run of form for Andrew Balding. Attack is best judged on his Yarmouth second on debut and is expected to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Spell Master 2nd Jet Packer 3rd Attack

BLENHEIM STAR arrives in excellent form having shown a liking for unconventional tracks in the shape of Ripon and Brighton, winning three of her last four outings. The most recent of those was arguably a career-best performance and William Knight's filly doesn't appear to have finished her progression just yet. Hello Cotai was runner-up here over 1m2f last week and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy in the saddle, while Uncle Dick and handicap debutant Seamore are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Blenheim Star 2nd Hello Cotai 3rd Uncle Dick

ROYAL DREAM emerged with a fair amount of credit when third at Leicester last month in a contest where it paid to be ridden handy. That was his best run on turf to date and Ed Dunlop's gelding, who has won his last two starts on the all-weather, may have more to offer on this surface. Amancio, a winner at Haydock in April, would be an obvious threat if settling better in the early stages. He and Big Bear Hug are both respected.
Prediction : 1st Royal Dream 2nd Amancio 3rd Big Bear Hug

SISTERANDBROTHER has been a revelation since joining the Kevin Frost yard and stepping back up in trip looks like a good move after being outpaced before keeping on for third at Doncaster last month. The six-year-old may be able to make it three wins in his last four starts, and he gets the vote ahead of recent Ripon scorer Sameem, as well as Gordon Grey, who has not been outside the first two in his last five outings.
Prediction : 1st Sisterandbrother 2nd Sameem 3rd Gordon Grey

GUITEAU could not have won any easier on his return over C&D last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from making it three wins in his last four starts. The Andrew Balding stable has clicked into gear of late and Miss Information must enter calculations following a comfortable success at Chepstow. C&D winner Little Boy Blue and Brighton second Dream Of Mischief are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Guiteau 2nd Miss Information 3rd Dream Of Mischief

This can go the way of HAVANA MOJITO, who was worn down late in the piece when looking to land the double at Brighton earlier in the month. His front-running style should be suited to the idiosyncracies of Epsom, and the son of Havana Grey may have too much for the capable Land Of Magic, as well as Nelson Rose, who has been running well in defeat of late. Bated Breeze and Too Much Trevor have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st Havana Mojito 2nd Nelson Rose 3rd Land Of Magic
