UK Horse Racing Tips: York

Being drawn in stall 13 isn't insurmountable but it doesn't really do Dubai Treasure many favours. The lightly-raced filly also needs another personal best running off 10lb higher than her winning return at Lingfield 22 days ago. With those factors in mind, PHYSIQUE could be worth chancing from a more favourable stalls position. His recent form when paired with Hollie Doyle is highly encouraging and he can play a big part off 1lb lower than his last winning mark. Previous C&D winners Feel The Need and It Just Takes Time hold each-way appeal in a wide-open race.
Prediction : 1st Physique 2nd Dubai Treasure 3rd Feel The Need

SAYIDAH DARIYAN still holds untapped potential and tops the shortlist after her highly creditable fourth-placed finish in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. That is arguably the strongest piece of recent form available and dropping in class could be just the ticket for Richard Hughes' low-mileage filly. Electric Storm surely has a decent race within her reach and is dangerous to underestimate. However, three-year-olds have been dominant in this race of late and the likes of First Instinct and Celandine could take advantage of their weight-for-age allowance to pose stronger threats to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Sayidah Dariyan 2nd First Instinct 3rd Celandine

Bosa Nova scored gamely on her debut at Chepstow and is respected as the only previous winner in the race. However, this looks deeper and the concession of 4lb to the rest is persuasive enough to look towards the newcomers for the outright winner. The well-related Secret Echo is bred to have an impact and is one of the first to consider representing an in-form yard. However, the trip could be a stumbling block and AYLIN, a half-sister to a couple of wining sprinters, shades the vote on the basis of 6f potentially being more suitable at this early stage.
Prediction : 1st Aylin 2nd Secret Echo 3rd Bosa Nova

Having put his fifth-placed defeat at Newbury behind him when landing a 20-runner affair over C&D the following day, Dawn Of Liberation warrants respect in his bid to secure a fourth triumph in his last five outings. However, a 9lb hike could leave the son of Churchill vulnerable, with preference for the down-in-class CLASSIC ENCOUNTER. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Sandown and he may regain the winning thread. Financer is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Classic Encounter 2nd Dawn Of Liberation 3rd Financer

Having recorded a double at Ripon, PRECIOUS SPARTAN hasn't looked back since racing under the tutelage of Patrick Neville in late May. Although the assessor has reacted with an 11lb rise for the Magna Grecia gelding, a hat-trick could be in order. Mahra's Love scored with something up her sleeve at Kempton 16 days ago and isn't taken lightly reverting to turf, with Zarathos the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Precious Spartan 2nd Mahras Love 3rd Zarathos

Muker went in by a neck in a tougher event at Doncaster last week and is a previous C&D winner to take seriously, but the vote goes to FORAGER. Simon Pearce' filly completed a course-and-distance double on her most recent outing and she may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests on that occasion. With just a 6lb higher rating to contend with, she can complete the hat-trick. Copper Knight and Brazen Bolt are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Forager 2nd Muker 3rd Copper Knight

Crowd Quake is undoubtedly in the form of his life after making it five wins out of his last six starts at Newmarket last month, but a 6lb higher mark makes life harder. With that in mind, SECRET BEACH gets the vote. The four-year-old finished just under three lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Newbury last time and is just 2lb higher. With a tidier start from the stalls and this extra furlong aiding his cause, he looks the way to go. Road To Wembley is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Secret Beach 2nd Crowd Quake 3rd Road To Wembley
