UK Horse Racing Tips: Naas

Several of these horses have very interesting big-race entries. ENDLESS DAWN is a newcomer from a shrewd stable and holds a Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes entry. Furthermore, she is related to a couple of juveniles winners. Distant Seas was a solid second on debut at the Curragh and that experience will stand to him. Aidan O'Brien takes the wraps off Antelope Canyon who has a couple of Group 2 engagements. Twice-raced Turners Cross and newcomers Town And Country and Last Encore are well entered-up, while Dundalk barrier trial winner Romantic War could be lively on track debut for Ado McGuinness.
Prediction : 1st Endless Dawn 2nd Distant Seas 3rd Antelope Canyon

The suspicion is that there is plenty more to come from MERRILY after she shed her maiden tag over C&D last month. She represents powerful connections and has Group 1 and Group 2 entries. British-raider Miss Lamai sets a more than decent standard. A runner-up berth in Listed company at York preceded a more than creditable fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, so she holds every chance here. Make Haste was out the back in the Queen Mary and a hood goes on for the first time. She did win her maiden in very good style over C&D in May, though. The 80-rated Queens Fury could go well off the front on this drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Merrily 2nd Miss Lamai 3rd Make Haste

GORDON BENNETT has been competing effectively at higher levels and has prospects in this cavalry charge. His fourth places over C&D in May and at the Curragh in June were decent efforts, and he won this race two years ago from a similar low draw. Universally acquitted himself well when a never nearer fourth in a better-class race at Fairyhouse and has won over a sprint trip before. Any rain will play to Transcendental's strengths and she beat a big field at Navan on her penultimate start. Van Krolock and Glamorously lurk at the lower end of the weights and both have good claimers on board. Speedwood, Rathbranchurch and Tawaazon will all have their supporters.
Prediction : 1st Gordon Bennett 2nd Universally 3rd Transcendental

PEARLS AND RUBIES appeals back at a sprint trip. Her form in second behind Porta Fortuna in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket last autumn reads particularly well now and she should have plenty of speed for this Listed assignment. David O'Meara sends Nighteyes over from Britain and her close third in Listed company at Sandown is notable form as the horses in front of her occupied the first two places in a Group 3 on their next starts. Rockingham winner Amazon Lady is more than capable of mixing it here, while Dance Night Andday and Apricot Ice are other contenders who know where the winning post is.
Prediction : 1st Pearls And Rubies 2nd Nighteyes 3rd Amazon Lady

DAONETHATGOTAWAY's best form is over 1m and he looks primed for a big run after a close second at Dundalk this month. Jockey Keithen Kennedy is a good booking for him in this apprentice handicap. Glencullen made a bright start to life with Willie Ross when a staying-on third at Fairyhouse. He had been off since October, so there may be more to come from him. Stop On Red came from a long way back and just failed by a short head in Dundalk, while Lisabetta finished nicely for fifth at Roscommon which brings her into contention. Mogwli is really sliding down the weights and could give Megan Telford-Kelly a good spin.
Prediction : 1st Daonethatgotaway 2nd Glencullen 3rd Stop On Red

THE BOG BANK gave Alyse Clarke her first winner at Bellewstown and the pair have solid claims in this apprentice handicap. The Bog Bank had come down a long way in the weights before that victory and showed that her revised mark wasn't beyond her when a battling third in Dundalk on her latest outing. Perfect Curves was three lengths behind The Bog Bank in Bellewstown, but that was a marked improvements on previous efforts. There was some promise in Cannes Do's seasonal reappearance fifth in Leopardstown, while Haalim has been runner-up on two of his last three runs in the basement grade in Britain.
Prediction : 1st The Bog Bank 2nd Perfect Curves 3rd Cannes Do

POWER UNDER ME ought to appreciate this drop in class. With a rating of 107, he is used to racing at a higher level and on his penultimate start he was beaten half a length into second in a Listed race at Leopardstown. You Send Me is another well versed in Group races, but the nagging concern is that her best form is on ground with plenty of cut in it. Warrior Brave is a credit to connections and is the possible pace angle in this race. He does have a C&D victory in his locker. Bottom-weight Democracy hasn't been beaten far in his last two races and a big run wouldn't be surprising.
Prediction : 1st Power Under Me 2nd You Send Me 3rd Warrior Brave

There were excuses for SARA VALENTINA's disappointing effort in Leopardstown and she could bounce back. She was a ready winner over an extended 6f at Limerick in May before being eased in Leopardstown where she was found to be blowing hard post-race. Physique was only caught close home in Killarney and Seamie Heffernan has been booked again. Facethepuckout hasn't been on a racecourse since November, but has the ability to get involved if ready to go. The veteran Ice Cold In Alex is more than capable of finishing with a rattle, while Never Cry Never is one for a market check on his first start for his new stable.
Prediction : 1st Sara Valentina 2nd Physique 3rd Facethepuckout
