UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

Patrol is an interesting contender based on breeding and price tag rather than what he has shown so far, and may find some improvement in first-time cheekpieces. There are races to be won with Leicester runner-up Enchanted Eye and he warrants close inspection. However, a chance is taken on HAVANA DANCE being able to emulate her dam by winning over 7f now she steps up in trip and races from a workable mark on just her second start in a nursery.
Prediction : 1st Havana Dance 2nd Patrol 3rd Enchanted Eye

CREATIVE LADY caught the eye when second on her debut at Lingfield and, with the form boosted by the winner subsequently going in again, the daughter of Mehmas should be tough to deal with if taking a step forward. Graduated also finished runner-up to a promising type at Brighton last week and can make this a stiff test for the selection. Solano Avenue might figure as best of the rest after a fair introduction, despite losing a shoe, at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Creative Lady 2nd Graduated 3rd Solano Avenue

Last year's winner MUSCIKA has a lot going for him after bursting back into life when finishing second in a competitive York handicap three weeks ago. Set to run off just 1lb higher, the David O'Meara-trained veteran could be too wily for the likes of Tourist and Ashwiyaa, who are both potential improvers but lack experience of this unique course. Cooperation also rates an each-way contender racing off 11lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Muscika 2nd Tourist 3rd Ashwiyaa

Having recorded a double on the all-weather at Lingfield in late July, the hat-trick seeking Imperial Cult arrives in fine fettle and another bold showing is likely. However, he is now 8lb higher than when eighth at this venue earlier in the same month so preference is for CORPORATE RAIDER. Julia Feilden's gelding found only a progressive type too strong at Brighton last time out and a 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable. Early Morning Dew and Mrembo also enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Corporate Raider 2nd Imperial Cult 3rd Early Morning Dew

A 6lb higher mark and switch of venue was enough to thwart HELLO COTAI in his follow-up bid when only eighth at Sandown. However, the combination of a return to the scene of his previous victory and a 1lb ease in the ratings may help Adam West's inmate regain the winning thread. The biggest threat could come from Etretat, who opened his account at the 15th time of asking at Wolverhampton, although Ten Commitments is a potential improver upped in distance.
Prediction : 1st Hello Cotai 2nd Etretat 3rd Ten Commitments

The in-form Land Of Magic is likely to prove popular reverting to the C&D of her last triumph and she must enter calculations at this level. However, the Amanda Perrett-trained DREAM OF MISCHIEF has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in stronger events of late, in particular his third-placed finish over track and trip in July, and he makes slightly more appeal dropping into class 5 company. Island Native can chase the duo home.
Prediction : 1st Dream Of Mischief 2nd Land Of Magic 3rd Island Native
