UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

THUNDEROUS LOVE arrives here on the back of two wins last month and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. The Cola Kid was a close third over course and distance earlier in the month and could make the frame again, while Clipsham La Habana and First Company are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Thunderous Love 2nd The Cola Kid 3rd Clipsham La Habana

It is hard to oppose MEDIA MOGUL, who followed up his Wolverhampton win in March with a success at Redcar last time. A further 3lb rise may still underestimate this progressive four-year-old and he clearly tops the shortlist. Macari made the frame over this trip at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago and is likely to be thereabouts again. Kotari edges out Youthful King to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Media Mogul 2nd Macari 3rd Kotari

The betting market will be a key guide here, but marginal preference is for COMICAL POINT. Andrew Balding's colt cost 140,000gns as a yearling and his dam won over 5f as a two-year-old. With that in mind, the son of Blue Point merits the utmost respect, although Baybe Driver is another whose pedigree suggests that he could be a useful juvenile. Charlie Boyo, Chilliconcarneigh and Palmeira are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Comical Point 2nd Baybe Driver 3rd Charlie Boyo

A highly encouraging third on her handicap debut at Lingfield last month, JAGETME is likely to have improvement to come over further and she can strike with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle. Dark Sorceress had Rumba Bay (fourth) behind when runner-up at Nottingham last time and both are entitled to be thereabouts again. Off The Bench and Piranha Rama cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Jagetme 2nd Dark Sorceress 3rd Rumba Bay

ARABIAN FORCE showed major improvement from first to second start when a determined winner at Wetherby and going up in trip should bring about further progress. The form of the stable is another plus, and the son of Lope De Vega is narrowly preferred to Gladius, who scored on debut at Kempton over 1m in a contest that has worked out well since. Spanish Train got the hang of things late in the piece at the same track last month and he is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Arabian Force 2nd Gladius 3rd Spanish Train

Although last of six in a warm Ascot novice on her debut, PRINCESS RASCAL showed plenty and is expected to step forward today. The daughter of Pinatubo looked outpaced approaching the furlong marker and, with stamina on the dam's side, these extra couple of furlongs will suit. Club Class is another that should benefit from a step up in trip, while the market can guide regarding debutant Cloaks Of Gold and the returning Lightning Touch, who hasn't been seen since December 2023.
Prediction : 1st Princess Rascal 2nd Club Class 3rd Cloaks Of Gold

VAN AERT was able to justify short-priced favouritism on his handicap bow at Kempton last month. The gelded son of Masar did have a tendency to hang that day though and it is no surprise to see cheekpieces employed for the first time. Returning to turf shouldn't be an issue, and a 6lb rise should be no barrier to further success either. Wolverhampton scorer Yellow Card is a threat, although he might be booked for second. Top Of Pleinmont heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Van Aert 2nd Yellow Card 3rd Top Of Pleinmont
