UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

DANCING TEAPOT may prove the pick here, back in maiden company. The Camelot filly was runner-up twice last November at Dundalk and the form of those races looks fairly solid. She ran a decent race when fifth in handicap company at the Curragh on her return and going back up to a mile now should suit. She can confirm form with Chocalho, who was just behind her in third when the selection made her debut at Dundalk. Joyful Princess has the same mark of 80 as Dancing Teapot and looks an obvious danger. She was a bit keen early on when third on her return here last month and may benefit from that outing.
Prediction : 1st Dancing Teapot 2nd Joyful Princess 3rd Chocalho

A weak race and JAZZ DREAMERS may be able to strike after a good run on his return at Roscommon three weeks ago. The Red Jazz gelding gave young Joe Harnett a good spin that day when finishing third to Zero Fighter and a 7lb claim in this looks a big asset. Deuteronomy ran well when third at Cork recently and could be a big player for the more experienced Nicola Burns. Higher Kingdom has been placed three times this season and is another that has to come into the mix.
Prediction : 1st Jazz Dreamers 2nd Deuteronomy 3rd Higher Kingdom

HEAVENS GATE can do the business down in grade. The Churchill filly took another very valuable prize last year when winning the Ballyhane Stakes at Naas and went on to score in Group 3 company at the Curragh. She has faced stiff tasks since including on her latest outing, when beating a couple home in the French 1,000 Guineas last month. Joseph O'Brien runs four with jockey bookings suggesting And So To Bed is the pick. She also drops in grade, having been well beaten in Group company last time. Dual C&D winner Deressa is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Heavens Gate 2nd And So To Bed 3rd Deressa

MY KURKUM has performed well on his last two outings and may be able to bag a deserved win now. The Dariyan gelding steps up again slightly in trip having chased home Zero Fighter at Roscommon three weeks ago and that could help. Cherry Pink has been holding her form well and was third at Roscommon a fortnight ago having won at the same course previously. She has to be on the shortlist. Sierra De Gredos was a couple of lengths behind Cherry Pink last time and also has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st My Kurkum 2nd Cherry Pink 3rd Sierra De Gredos

ACTION PLAN was a touch unlucky on his last visit here and may be able to gain some compensation. The Soldier's Call gelding got boxed in on the rail and had to wait for a gap before trying to chase down the eventual winner Out On Friday, just failing by a neck to peg back that rival. He remains on the same mark now. Lough Leane ran a big race on his first start for Maurice Ahern at Cork last month and is respected with Dylan Browne McMonagle a notable booking. Autumn Twist won over hurdles recently and is another who has to be considered on his return to the level.
Prediction : 1st Action Plan 2nd Lough Leane 3rd Autumn Twist

KALIXA takes a drop in class having contested the Oaks Trial at Naas last time and may get back to winning ways on her handicap debut. The Dermot Weld team continue in decent form and she's open to further improvement off what may prove a reasonable mark. Gotomylovely finished just ahead of the selection at Naas and the impressive course winner is a contender again, while Pink Oxalis also won in good style here earlier this season and is on a hat-trick. Lady Lunette wasn't helped by a slow start when narrowly denied in a tight finish at Leopardstown last month.
Prediction : 1st Kalixa 2nd Gotomylovely 3rd Pink Oxalis

The consistent GAME POINT looks the one to beat for local owners Ballygallon Stud. The son of Blue Point has to overcome a wide draw but has shown plenty of promise in three outings including when runner-up on his reappearance over a similar trip at Leopardstown. Tashir made a pleasing debut at this venue but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Ballinrobe, while riding arrangements suggest Dun An Oir is preferred of Jessica Harrington's pair and he may leave a poor debut run on soft ground well behind on this sounder surface. Railgun is a half-brother to four winners including Zihba, who landed a Group 3 for the Stack yard.
Prediction : 1st Game Point 2nd Tashir 3rd Railgun

GOLD DUBLOOMS was soundly beaten on all three maiden runs but really caught the eye when switched to a handicap here last month. The Eamonn O'Connell-trained gelding finished strongly into third and should be suited by this longer distance with Colin Keane a significant booking. Elvetham was close behind in sixth on that occasion and may now appreciate the application of a tongue-tie. Ventress hasn't shown too much in maidens but appears the pick of Johnny Murtagh's pair with Ben Coen booked on handicap debut, while Whats New gave some encouragement on his seasonal debut over a similar trip at Tipperary.
Prediction : 1st Gold Dublooms 2nd Elvetham 3rd Ventress
