UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

INVITED has been somewhat unfortunate to bump into a few useful types across his three career starts, but this is a good opportunity and he is taken to record a breakthrough success. Simply Blue is officially rated just 1lb below the selection but, although respected, his form doesn't appear to be quite as strong. Showcasing filly Avalon makes appeal on paper and she warrants a market check for the in-form Ed Walker team.
Prediction : 1st Invited 2nd Simply Blue 3rd Avalon

Although MICK'S SPIRIT has yet to score on turf from five attempts, the six-year-old posted a creditable third in a class 4 contest over C&D last month. Dropped in class and from a 2lb lower mark, Conrad Allen's charge looks more than capable of taking home the spoils. Media Guest is only 3lb higher than when winning at Bath recently and he holds obvious claims, while The Defiant is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Micks Spirit 2nd Media Guest 3rd The Defiant

Makes Sense kept on well for second over 7f here on his debut a fortnight ago and is of real interest. However, a drop in trip doesn't seem the most obvious route on that evidence and debutant BASIC INSTINCT is preferred. The daughter of Mehmas went for 145,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to several speedy types, so it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate impact. Last Outlaw and Study Up are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Basic Instinct 2nd Makes Sense 3rd Last Outlaw

TEN CLUB was too keen for his own good when fading into fourth over 7f at Lingfield but, dropping back down to 6f and eased 2lb, a bold bid is expected. Moe's Legacy can emerge as the main danger off 1lb lower than when an admirable fourth in a slightly stronger race at Newbury. The step back up in trip should help Johnny Johnson be seen to best effect and he must be of interest too.
Prediction : 1st Ten Club 2nd Moes Legacy 3rd Johnny Johnson

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE was denied in the shadows of the post over 7f at Wolverhampton, before holding his form when fourth over a mile at Lingfield on Tuesday, despite racing wide throughout. Off an unchanged mark and with cheekpieces reapplied, he appeals most. Cassias Comet hasn't cut much ice in her three qualifying runs, but she catches the eye on her handicap debut. Chourmo completes the shortlist, for all that the step back in trip asks a question.
Prediction : 1st Werenotreallyhere 2nd Cassias Comet 3rd Chourmo

DANCINGWITHMYSELF appeared to relish the step up to 1m2f when running out a ready winner at Ripon and, upped 4lb with her stamina drawn out further here, she should be tough to stop. Connections of the well-bred Hutchence will be disappointed if he isn't able to score in a race of this nature at some point and, sporting blinkers for the first time, he is feared most. Selectivity completes the shortlist now pitched into handicap company for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Dancingwithmyself 2nd Hutchence 3rd Selectivity
