UK Horse Racing Tips: Bellewstown

IN THE MINUS was a cosy winner when well backed at Limerick last month and may be able to follow up now dropped into claiming company. The Belardo gelding went up to a mark of 62 after his three-length success and, with Sam Coen taking off 7lb now, he doesn't look badly treated at the weights. Grand Dante is another unexposed three-year-old in the field that could be a contender. Casanova looks on a bit of a downward spiral but would be a big player if recapturing anywhere near his old form.
Prediction : 1st In The Minus 2nd Grand Dante 3rd Casanova

WORLD TOUR is entitled to improve a bit from his debut run and could prove the one to beat. He shaped with promise when third to easy winner North Coast at Down Royal a fortnight ago and the yard's runners tend to step forward for an outing. Empty Wallet was two and a half lengths behind the selection then, but Nicola Burns takes a useful 7lb off his back now leaving him on a handy weight. Joseph O'Brien runs two newcomers, with Dylan Browne McMonagle taking the mount on That's No Joke. The Saxon Warrior colt is a half-brother to a couple of winners and is a grandson of Group 1 winner Listen.
Prediction : 1st World Tour 2nd Empty Wallet 3rd Thats No Joke

HELIOGABALUS is still relatively unexposed and may be able to strike now after a good run at Limerick last time. The Holy Roman Emperor gelding chased home Martinelli then and is just a pound higher. He has a nice draw. The Bog Bank is something of a standing dish around here, having won four times at the track. Her highest career winning mark is 61, though. Daonethatgotaway was in fine form when last seen in action on the all-weather at Dundalk and is another that has to be on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Heliogabalus 2nd The Bog Bank 3rd Daonethatgotaway

Not the strongest maiden and if TURNERS CROSS can run anywhere near his mark of 78, he would take a bit of beating. The No Nay Never gelding produced a couple of really good runner-up efforts last term but hasn't shown that level in two outings this year. This is an easier task now, though. Viamonte has been knocking on the door and ran a solid race in handicap company last time. He should play a big role here. Tino Pai has a bit to find on official ratings, but ran well in handicap company last time and may be able to bag some prize money.
Prediction : 1st Turners Cross 2nd Viamonte 3rd Tino Pai

MY GIRL SIOUX has been a model of consistency and can land an ordinary-looking contest. The Sioux Nation mare has only won once from 51 outings, but rarely runs a bad race and was a solid fourth again last time at Naas. Whatswrongnow was only half a length behind the selection latest and could run a big race on the same terms. Several others ran in that same Naas contest. Lismacbryan Hill, who was eighth, has run well here previously and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st My Girl Sioux 2nd Whatswrongnow 3rd Lismacbryan Hill

JUNIPER SLING ran a nice race when third on debut and looks like the form choice. The Sea The Stars filly was only beaten a length behind Kalixa at Naas back in late-April and is entitled to improve from that. She was a length and three quarters in front of the fourth-placed It's A Heartbeat then and that filly went on to score at the Curragh. Jannah Star was runner-up to It's A Heartbeat last time so has a bit to find on a line through that rival. Market moves for the Ballydoyle newcomer Gifted would be significant. The Wootton Bassett filly is a half-sister to Listed winner Espionage.
Prediction : 1st Juniper Sling 2nd Jannah Star 3rd Gifted

TASSAROLO won well over hurdles last time and should be up to scoring back on the Flat off this kind of mark. The Farrh gelding was a bargain buy out of Godolphin and is still relatively unexposed. He actually ran well on his most recent Flat outing, finishing fifth at Dundalk last December. The lowly-rated Celtic Druid ran well when third at Leopardstown last time and a similar effort would see him in the mix. Eamon Delany loves to have a winner here and joint top-weight Lohengrin also has to be on the shortlist, following a solid run to finish third at Limerick.
Prediction : 1st Tassarolo 2nd Celtic Druid 3rd Lohengrin
