UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

There was a good word for CELEBORN prior to his Leicester introduction and he duly obliged. He was withdrawn at the start at Doncaster on his next intended appearance and has since been gelded in an attempt to hopefully harness his true potential. Archie's Angel made a successful debut of his own at Haydock, while Square D'alboni took a big step forward to break through at Epsom and Way Of Stars was only just denied at Goodwood.
Prediction : 1st Celeborn 2nd Archies Angel 3rd Square Dalboni

Betty Clover's Listed triumph and narrow defeat at the hands of Simmering in the Princess Margaret help her set a fine standard, but she comes up against some exciting once-raced winners. TABITI never looked like letting favourite-backers down on debut, showing plenty of pace over 7f, and she is just preferred to Jewelry, who was almost as impressive at Newbury. There was no fluke about Greydreambeliever's York victory, while Magic Mild deserves a crack at this sort of prize.
Prediction : 1st Tabiti 2nd Jewelry 3rd Betty Clover

Richard Hannon has won two of the last three renewals and can enjoy further success courtesy of KAIYA, who showed more signs of life at Newbury and steps back up to a potentially more suitable distance for her nursery bow. Wathbah is best judged on her first three efforts rather than her struggle in a good Newmarket nursery. Gold Medallist has experience on his side and cheekpieces go on, with headgear also applied to Tiempo Alegre for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Kaiya 2nd Wathbah 3rd Tiempo Alegre

Jowddah made a promising start when runner-up at Newmarket having shown signs of inexperience and Roger Varian's filly is expected to go well. That said, she faces a very interesting newcomer in the shape of SANDTRAP, a 450,000gns purchase whose full-brother recently became a Grade 1 winner in the US. The daughter of Lope De Vega gets the vote, while the extra furlong may bring about improvement from Bowerchalke on her second outing.
Prediction : 1st Sandtrap 2nd Jowddah 3rd Bowerchalke

VALVANO has been gelded since chasing home 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton in April and the step up to 1m2f, combined with some cut in the ground, is likely to see him prove too good for these rivals. Military Academy's debut success at Hamilton was boosted with the runner-up landing a valuable handicap at Ascot last weekend and he remains a colt with plenty of potential. Others to note include King Chaos and At No Time.
Prediction : 1st Valvano 2nd Military Academy 3rd King Chaos

This appears to represent a fine opportunity for QUICKTHORN to record his first victory since the 2023 Goodwood Cup. The seven-year-old is expected to revert to his old front-running tactics and take advantage of an ideal confidence booster. Drawn To Dream should appreciate underfoot conditions based on her German form which includes a Listed success over 2m4f. Salsada rates best of the remainder on her first Flat appearance in over two years.
Prediction : 1st Quickthorn 2nd Drawn To Dream 3rd Salsada

A winner of two of his last three starts, and runner-up in a contest at Newmarket last time which has worked out well, STRIKE sets the standard on form and he can notch up a fifth career success for his in-form connections. A progressive sort earlier this year, Tiriac remains on a workable mark and is likely to figure, along with Newbury second Capote's Dream and Bishop's Crown.
Prediction : 1st Strike 2nd Tiriac 3rd Capotes Dream

GLITTERELLA may still be a maiden through seven starts, but she ran arguably a career best when narrowly denied at Bath over 5f last month, and stepping back up in trip should suit with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. A progressive sort last year, Art Fantastique is of interest on his return from a long absence, while Unico looks capable of building on a solid effort at Lingfield latest.
Prediction : 1st Glitterella 2nd Art Fantastique 3rd Unico
