UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

TAHCAWIN ran well on her debut earlier this month and has a speculative entry in the Moyglare Stakes in September. A 65,000-euro yearling and a half-sister to two winners, she contested a potentially smart maiden on her Leopardstown debut where she finished her race nicely. She drops in grade and should be sharper. Alibah was a 42,000gns breeze-up purchase in May and while just one of three older siblings managed to win, she could be useful. Sanctijude showed ability on her Leopardstown debut last month and can progress.
Prediction : 1st Tahcawin 2nd Alibah 3rd Sanctijude

SIERRA DE GREDOS runs in first-time blinkers and has useful recent form. His form this year has been consistent and he scored here last month. Sneddy Eddie also has winning course form and has useful recent form, although would prefer easy ground. Jackandthefox is an 18-race maiden and has been running over shorter distances, but wasn't beaten too far when racing over this trip on the all-weather last spring.
Prediction : 1st Sierra De Gredos 2nd Sneddy Eddie 3rd Jackandthefox

EMIT was well beaten on his most recent start at Royal Ascot but had previously shown smart ability and could be suited by stepping up to this distance for the first time. Acapulco Bay was well enough held in the Ulster Derby but is nonetheless quite capable and is suited by this distance and good ground. Heather has good recent handicap form, while dual course winner Deressa is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Emit 2nd Acapulco Bay 3rd Heather

The Ger Lyons-trained CONTINUITE looks to have been found a nice opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Well supported when third on her racecourse debut at Tipperary last August, the daughter of Frankel was again sent off favourite when narrowly beaten over this course and distance the following month. Given that the winner of that contest is now rated 106, it is safe to say that the form is quite strong. A beaten favourite at the Curragh last weekend, Guarded has to be respected making a quick reappearance. Katashuna is noted as well.
Prediction : 1st Continuite 2nd Guarded 3rd Katashuna

Having shaped with a degree of promise when sixth in a better race last time, EARLS has to be of interest. A 10-time winner on turf, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding, who was rated 92 in his prime, still looks capable of adding to his tally off a mark of 79. Pier Pressure has finished runner-up under Nicola Burns on his last two starts. A former C&D winner, the five-year-old has leading claims. A thoroughly consistent gelding, Daonethatgotaway is also likely to be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Earls 2nd Pier Pressure 3rd Daonethatgotaway

FLIER's form can be a bit in-and-out, but she has the ability to win this handicap. She made the breakthrough over further at Dundalk in March and, on her last two outings over this sort of trip, she was a close second in Leopardstown before making headway to finish mid-division at the same track. Tipperary winner Chou Chou ought to be a factor on this ground. This is a new trip for Carrickfinn in a bid to grab an elusive victory. He can be given a chance on his runner-up berth over 1m at this venue in June.
Prediction : 1st Flier 2nd Chou Chou 3rd Carrickfinn

Jarlath Fahey's WARAZAM is consistent and ran a very pleasing third on her seasonal reappearance at Navan. She is entitled to come on plenty from that first run for almost eight months. Roderick delivered over 1m at Naas on Wednesday evening and is scheduled to make a quick turnaround carrying the mandatory 7lb penalty. He has placed form over 1m1f and is likely to be on many shortlists. Numidia didn't run badly in fourth in a higher grade at Down Royal and is capable of popping up, while Obama Army and Famous Enough could get into contention.
Prediction : 1st Warazam 2nd Roderick 3rd Numidia

This looks a good opportunity for CRYPTO FORCE to regain a winning bracket. You have to go back to 2022 for his two career victories but, since then, he has been extensively plying his trade in Group races. He was last seen finishing mid-division in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot. Sam Coen's 7lb claim comes into play on Cristal Clere, who is actually weighted to beat Crypto Force. He has finished runner-up in his last couple of races and has Listed-placed form in the book. Dawn Spirit could go well with her sights lowered, while Penzance won five times in Britain and could be a useful recruit for Shark Hanlon.
Prediction : 1st Crypto Force 2nd Cristal Clere 3rd Dawn Spirit
