UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

A drop in trip worked a treat for the recent Leicester 6f winner WAISTCOAT and there could be more to come from him. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential for the son of Sea The Stars and he's preferred to The Cola Brasil. Michael Bell's inmate arrives on the back of a solid second at Wolverhampton and he isn't taken lightly off a 7lb lower mark on turf. Ever Driven is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Waistcoat 2nd The Cola Kid 3rd Ever Driven

ANTHELIA created a big impression when winning on debut at Bath last month and she looks one to keep on the right side of. Rod Millman's filly overcame greenness and may prove too savvy for the newcomers. Madame X, a half-sister to the Italian Group-placed Duc De Morny, boasts enough speed/class in her pedigree to give the selection something to think about, ahead of Piazza.
Prediction : 1st Anthelia 2nd Madame X 3rd Piazza

The hat-trick seeking Liosa arrives at the top of his game and, off the same mark as his latest triumph at Kempton, he is sure to have his supporters reverting to turf. However, The Last Lion gelding has yet to prove as effective on this surface, so it could be worth chancing LIL GUFF. The six-year-old made all on her penultimate outing at Bath and she wasn't disgraced on her following fifth at Southwell. The lightly-raced Second Name shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Lil Guff 2nd Liosa 3rd Second Name

EL MATADOR shaped with lots of promise, despite failing to justify favouritism, when hitting the woodwork on his debut at Nottingham in October. The son of Lope De Vega may have lots more to offer this season and can get off to a winning start. Sea Baaeed was well held in fifth at Newmarket on his most recent start, but sets the standard for others to aim at with a rating of 88. Any market confidence behind Marmalade Kid would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st El Matador 2nd Sea Baaeed 3rd Marmalade Kid

JUST AN HOUR comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over three lengths to score at Nottingham last month and a 6lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. If the son of Justify remains in similar form, he will prove very hard to beat. Didaar showed more after being gelded over the winter when making the frame at Redcar and should remain competitive off an unchanged rating. Judge Frank looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Just An Hour 2nd Didaar 3rd Judge Frank

GOLD CUP DAY caught the eye making late headway at Newbury on his introduction last month. He will have learnt plenty for that experience and this extra furlong will suit the son of Golden Horn. Earnest Belief is a full-brother to the top-notch stayer Coltrane and the newcomer will likely make his presence felt, while Triple Gee is related to middle-distance winners and could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Gold Cup Day 2nd Earnest Belief 3rd Triple Gee

WANNABEAWALLABY has slipped down the handicap and went close to landing that elusive first win when finding only one too good at Bath last month. Dylan Cunha's charge gets another chance in this similar contest. Breccia has won over hurdles since scoring at Wolverhampton at the end of last year and could launch a challenge, while Grey Owl recorded his only win to date over course and distance in August and returns to the fray 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Wannabeawallaby 2nd Breccia 3rd Grey Owl
