UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

BOLD IMPACT has made the frame on all three previous starts and the son of Blue Point has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark here. Nidaami showed ability on his racecourse bow at Chelmsford and is entitled to improve, while Mystical Elegance could go well if leaving a disappointing effort at Kempton behind her. Luna Girl cost 95,000 euros as a yearling and any market support for her on debut would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Bold Impact 2nd Nidaami 3rd Luna Girl

MARLAY PARK was a short-head second over C&D two starts ago and was only beaten a couple of lengths when fifth over the same track and trip subsequently. With that in mind, the six-year-old just gets the vote to repeat his victory of 12 months ago. Red Mirage returned to form when third at Chester and could prove to be the main threat to the selection. King Cabo edges out Larado and Roscioli to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Marlay Park 2nd Red Mirage 3rd King Cabo

Thursday was only narrowly denied when second at Windsor 10 days ago and is likely to go well once again, but a 4lb rise does not help her chances here. As a result, preference is for MREMBO, who was a very close fourth off this mark on the same Windsor card and she may improve for the first-time application of a visor. Daphne May is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mrembo 2nd Thursday 3rd Daphne May

Runner-up over C&D in July and a comfortable winner at Haydock only a week ago, HALIPHON looks more than capable of following up under his penalty in this unique contest. Miller Spirit has strong claims on his penultimate effort, when runner-up at Ascot in July, while Parramount hasn't done badly since reverting to the Flat and ran well when second at Kempton last time out.
Prediction : 1st Haliphon 2nd Miller Spirit 3rd Parramount

Stepping up to 1m6f seemed to stretch the stamina limitations of DUBAWI TIME at Chelmsford and he is better judged on his previous second over this distance at Leicester. William Knight's charge remains on a workable mark and may be able to regain the winning thread, possibly at the main expense of Small Fry, who has improved since going up in trip. Bittalemon hasn't come anywhere near repaying her 320,000gns price tag but cannot be ruled out in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Dubawi Time 2nd Small Fry 3rd Bittalemon

Having regained the winning thread with a gutsy display at Brighton, C&D winner Local Bay must enter the reckoning. However, the six-year-old is effectively 7lb higher in the ratings without Jack Doughty's claim and it could be worth taking a punt on NEW HEIGHTS reproducing her victory in last year's contest. Jonathan Portman's mare looks to be coming to the boil judged on her latest fifth at Sandown and a big run is forecast. Finn Russell is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st New Heights 2nd Local Bay 3rd Finn Russell

With two victories and a second to his name in three appearances at this venue, HELLO COTAI is taken to further enhance his fine record. A 2lb rise for last month's C&D victory looks far from insurmountable and Adam West's charge should take all the beating. The biggest threat may emerge from Crimson Spirit, who arrives on the back of a solid second over track and trip. Penalised Wolverhampton winner Between Me And U is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hello Cotai 2nd Crimson Spirit 3rd Between Me And U
