UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

Walter Hartright has to be of interest having racked up a hat-trick but a further 6lb rise for the most recent of those wins is a slight concern. With that in mind, marginal preference is for DREAM HARDER, who was only narrowly denied at Chester last time and looks to have plenty in his favour here. Others to note are Ludo's Landing and Lexington Knight.
Prediction : 1st Dream Harder 2nd Walter Hartright 3rd Ludos Landing

The unexposed GOOD GOOD GOOD chased home a useful rival when filling second place on her handicap bow over 5f at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. The step back up to 6f should suit the daughter of Blue Point and she merits the utmost respect. Hover On The Wind is progressive and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Ingra Tor and Macanudo.
Prediction : 1st Good Good Good 2nd Hover On The Wind 3rd Macanudo

ROYAL VELVET accounted for a subsequent winner when scoring over C&D three weeks ago and has to be of interest as a result off just a 2lb higher mark. The unexposed Naepoint also scored on his most recent outing and may have further progression left to come. Plenty of the remainder have strong form claims in a wide-open event, but Al Muqdad and Lough Leane are arguably the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Royal Velvet 2nd Naepoint 3rd Al Muqdad

On the back of three straight 7f wins, Yantarni commands respect even though a 6lb rise for last month's Newbury success means another career best is required if he's going to add to his tally. With that in mind, LOVE BILLY BOY, a class 2 handicap winner at Chester last month, could be the way to go off just 2lb higher. Pedro Valentino and the lightly-raced Storm Star can also get competitive.
Prediction : 1st Love Billy Boy 2nd Yantarni 3rd Pedro Valentino

Only Spoofing has hinted at a revival lately and appeals off a potentially competitive mark. Stone Circle enters calculations off 2lb lower than when he won this race under Saffie Osborne last year. However, ACKLAM EXPRESS is the most attractive in handicapping terms. Rated 110 at his peak, the selection proved there is still plenty of enthusiasm for the game when a gutsy winner at Salisbury last month and a 3lb higher mark should be well within his compass.
Prediction : 1st Acklam Express 2nd Only Spoofing 3rd Stone Circle

ONEFORTHEGUTTER returned to form when bumping into a well-handicapped rival in the shape of Fairbanks in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the July meeting. The handicapper raised him 1lb for that and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him go one better. Baileys Khelstar continues to go the right way and was only touched off by the admirable Euchen Glen at Ayr last time. He completes the shortlist along with Story Horse and Western Stars.
Prediction : 1st Oneforthegutter 2nd Baileys Khelstar 3rd Story Horse

The fact that connections have persisted with BELIEVE IN STARS suggests they believe him to be potentially better than a handicapper and the five-year-old was only just touched off on his return at Windsor. Dropping back in trip should aid his cause and he is taken to confirm placings with King Lear from their meeting in a Goodwood novice last September. The latter had excuses when returning lame after his handicap debut at Pontefract and the son of Galileo is entitled to have more to offer following a gelding operation, while Star Harbour enters calculations following his success at the Curragh last time.
Prediction : 1st Believe In Stars 2nd King Lear 3rd Star Harbour
