UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

WHITE CHAPEL ROAD found the Convivial at York too hot, but he quickly bounced back to score impressively at Brighton earlier this month. In what doesn't look the deepest nursery on paper, the son of Land Force gets the vote to give weight and a beating to his rivals. Already a C&D winner, Graduated might be the main danger now dropping in grade after coming up short in a valuable sales race over 6f on the Knavesmire. Pietro is also considered.
Prediction : 1st White Chapel Road 2nd Graduated 3rd Pietro

In what looks a fascinating contest with a view to the future, GLITTERING LEGEND gets a tentative nod. The son of Too Darn Hot left a low-key debut well behind to score in the style of a smart prospect over a mile at Goodwood and, with further improvement likely, he can get the better of some similarly promising rivals. Anniversary showed a likeable attitude when getting off the mark at the first time of asking over a mile at Newmarket and he can give the selection most to think about. Bath winner The Green Mile has to be taken seriously too.
Prediction : 1st Glittering Legend 2nd Anniversary 3rd The Green Mile

Lasting Love wasn't disgraced when runner-up to a potentially smart filly at Goodwood and another prominent showing from the daughter of Lope De Vega is forecast. That said, she may have to fill the same berth again, this time behind SIR LOWRY'S PASS. Ed Walker's colt overcame a tardy start to beat Forest Gate cosily over the same C&D and he can make light of a 7lb winner's penalty. Games People Play also enters calculations, for all that the step back in trip may not be ideal.
Prediction : 1st Sir Lowrys Pass 2nd Lasting Love 3rd Games People Play

A return to class 4 company proved just the tonic for MILLER SPIRIT when he took top honours in the Jump Jockeys Derby over C&D earlier this month. That was the four-year-old's first appearance at this track and a 3lb nudge up the ratings may not prevent him from completing a double. Fellow in-form rival Organic is a potential improver up in distance and she could prove the biggest danger, ahead of Thursday.
Prediction : 1st Miller Spirit 2nd Organic 3rd Thursday

An improver when stepped up to this trip over C&D last month, DASHINWHITESARGENT is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and as long as he handles the forecast heavy ground, he can follow up. That may be at the main expense of last week's easy Chester winner Qitaal, although the unexposed Winston's Tipple got off the mark in determined fashion at Lingfield and has to be considered closely too.
Prediction : 1st Dashinwhitesargent 2nd Qitaal 3rd Winstons Tipple

Into Battle finished third over 1m3f in this grade at Kempton last month and he is interesting on this considerable drop in trip off a 1lb lower rating. However, the vote goes to the in-form ARKHALIA FLYNN, who may have missed out on the hat-trick but produced another pleasing effort to fill the runner-up spot at Haydock. The son of Ulysses goes off only 1lb higher and can continue his forward momentum. Glam Squad is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Arkhalia Flynn 2nd Into Battle 3rd Glam Squad

Miguel justified favouritism in commanding style at Musselburgh and has to be considered off 7lb higher, but this represents a step up in grade. With that in mind, COME ON YOU SPURS looks the way to go. Richard Spencer's three-year-old struck by a length and a half at Sandown and the handicapper may have let her off with only a 3lb rise. Hodler completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Come On You Spurs 2nd Miguel 3rd Hodler
