UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

GASCONY can easily be forgiven a last-of-11 in a far better race on heavy ground at Goodwood, and is better judged on his previous Leicester second when only beaten half a length on quicker going. He may make amends here, with Tommie Jakes' 5lb claim a bonus. Who Is Alice won over this trip at Chepstow and pulled too hard at Newbury last month, while Jowalla would also be of interest if first-time cheekpieces bring any improvement.
Prediction : 1st Gascony 2nd Who Is Alice 3rd Jowalla

Lady Vanguard cost 320,000gns as a yearling and is one to watch ahead of her debut, but experience can count significantly and CALENDAR GIRL gets the vote. A 14/1 chance on her Newbury introduction, she only needed to be shaken up to win by over three lengths. Although she has to give 7lb to her rivals now, that does not look beyond her. Crazee Icon looked the type to learn plenty from her first appearance in that Newbury contest and could surprise with the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Calendar Girl 2nd Lady Vanguard 3rd Crazee Icon

KISSKODI failed to see out the seventh furlong after pulling too hard at York but is far better suited by this trip, with victories at Brighton, Leicester and over this C&D on his previous three starts. He can get back to winning ways, although he does need a career best off this mark. Winged Messenger is admirably consistent, with five top-three finishes this season, and he may prove the biggest danger, followed by bottom-weight Nordic Games.
Prediction : 1st Kisskodi 2nd Winged Messenger 3rd Nordic Games

HARLINGTON arrives in winning form having just prevailed at Chepstow last month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to stop the four-year-old from backing that performance up. San Francisco Bay has to enter calculations based on his latest success at Nottingham, but he may need everything to go his way off a 5lb higher mark. With that in mind, Letsbeatsepsis might prove to be the biggest threat.
Prediction : 1st Harlington 2nd Letsbeatsepsis 3rd San Francisco Bay

MAKES ME WONDER brings a consistent level of form to proceedings and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for David Simcock's gelding to get his head in front for the second time in his career. Sonic Pioneer had excuses when hampered at Wolverhampton in June and he is more than capable of bouncing back to form, while dropping back slightly in trip might aid the cause of Dalmally.
Prediction : 1st Makes Me Wonder 2nd Sonic Pioneer 3rd Dalmally

Revolutionise has been knocking on the door in recent outings, including when runner-up over C&D last time, and is expected to be in the mix, as is The Bitter Moose. The vote, though, goes to MARLAY PARK after last week's second at Brighton. The seven-year-old is 1lb well-in compared to future events and makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a fifth track-and-trip success.
Prediction : 1st Marlay Park 2nd Revolutionise 3rd The Bitter Moose
