UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

After a slow start on debut at Leopardstown, ICONA came home well to finish a never-nearer fourth. Likely to be suited by this step-up in trip to a mile, it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last month, Lady Mairen is the obvious form choice. Third when sent off a well-backed favourite on her first start at Tipperary, it would come as no surprise if Continuite managed to go a few places better now. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Island Hopping and newcomer Kalixa are others that warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Icona 2nd Lady Mairen 3rd Continuite

There was just half a length between Nautical Force and TRIBAL NATION when they finished fourth and fifth at the Curragh last month, and there is likely to be little between them again. The latter is taken to reverse the form, as he didn't get the clearest of runs that day. Brandon Creek ran a solid race on debut and is likely to give a good account of himself, while County Mayo will need to improve on his initial effort if he is to feature.
Prediction : 1st Tribal Nation 2nd Nautical Force 3rd Brandon Creek

BLUE WOOD went down by just a neck and a short head when third at Cork last week. A winner at Down Royal in June, the Requinto bay should give a good account of himself with the champion jockey aboard. Successful at Laytown on Monday, Cherry Pink is turned out again quickly and it will come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up on her seaside victory. Lorr's Girl and Harriet Eagle are others bidding to go back-to-back, with the latter successful here in July.
Prediction : 1st Blue Wood 2nd Cherry Pink 3rd Lorrs Girl

Joseph O'Brien saddles half the field, with Uluru, Je Zous and Goldana his leading hopes. Dylan Browne McMonagle takes the ride on the former, who has a course win to her name. Beaten by just three-quarters of a length at Deauville on her penultimate start, she had a far from clear passage when last seen at the Curragh. After a fine effort in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, the aforementioned Je Zous is likely to have plenty of supporters, while Oaks fifth Caught U Looking and Azada are other leading hopes. However, it might be worth siding with ONE LOOK. So impressive when successful in the Goffs Million as a juvenile, she got back on track in the Ruby Stakes at Killarney last month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up.
Prediction : 1st One Look 2nd Uluru 3rd Caught U Looking

With just 1lb between them on official ratings, Castanets and TANAZADIA standout with preference for the Johnny Murtagh's filly. Going down by just a head on her penultimate start, the Lope De Vega bay since finished a close third when sent off favourite for a handicap at Cork. Castanets also failed to justify favouritism when last seen and she should be suited by this step up in trip. Street Mentor has regressed since finishing second on debut at Dundalk, but could make an impact in a contest of this quality. The Dermot Weld-trained Campari Soda has some solid efforts to her name and is likely to appreciate dropping back into maiden company, after disappointing earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Tanazadia 2nd Castanets 3rd Campari Soda

It might be worth taking a chance on MADAME PLANTIFF, who was a comfortable winner here in April but has been disappointing in recent starts. The three-year-old might be reinvigorated by first-time blinkers though and is just 1lb higher than her previous winning mark. Best Law and Barrogstown Girl have already won twice this season and both are likely to have plenty of supporters. Successful earlier this month, top-weight Bright N Shine and the Johnny Murtagh-trained Bizarre Dreams are other obvious contenders.
Prediction : 1st Madame Plaintiff 2nd Barrogstown Girl 3rd Bright N Shine

Blinkers are tried on Formal Display, who has been disappointing this season but it'll come as no surprise if they have the desired effect. Kelbelle is of definite interest after an impressive win at Bellewstown last month, while Power Mode will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Cork if he is to feature. RAHMI has placed three times this season and in much calmer waters now, he looks the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Rahmi 2nd Kelbelle 3rd Formal Display
