UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

Back to winning ways with a taking performance at Chepstow last time out, DARVEL is likely to have more to offer and can follow up off 3lb higher in an amateur jockeys' handicap. Narrowly denied over 6f at Chepstow on Monday, Silent Flame must be of interest stepping up in trip, along with Ajrad, who has scored on two of his last three starts.
Prediction : 1st Darvel 2nd Silent Flame 3rd Ajrad

A 6lb penalty will make life tougher for PILU after scoring on debut at Bath earlier in the month, but he did so in comfortable fashion and stepping up in trip should bring about further improvement. A taking winner over 5f at Chepstow recently, Evie Ross is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Alarming, who looks the pick of the newcomers for the in-form Ralph Beckett yard.
Prediction : 1st Pilu 2nd Evie Ross 3rd Alarming

PROJECT INCHEON seemed to improve for a gelding operation when second over 7f at Kempton last week and the rise in distance can see him go one better with Hollie Doyle taking over in the saddle. Another open to improvement over 1m after a creditable runner-up effort at Wolverhampton, Gunalt Wavelength is a leading contender, as well as Torbay, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Ffos Las.
Prediction : 1st Project Incheon 2nd Gunalt Wavelength 3rd Torbay

MAMMA MARIA and the hat-trick seeking Time After Time have seen recent winning performances franked and are suggested as the pair to focus on. The latter emphatically won a classified stakes at Chepstow, before edging an apprentice rider's handicap at Haydock. However, a 4lb rise demands more, so William Haggas' filly shades the vote. She made a belated winning seasonal debut at Ffos Las and a 2lb rise should be more than manageable. Dragonflame and Pay Attention can fight it out for the minor spoils.
Prediction : 1st Mamma Maria 2nd Time After Time 3rd Dragonflame

An opening mark of 85 suggests EXPLODE has enough ability and scope to pay his way. Therefore, James Ferguson's decision to pitch the gelding into novice company could be a rewarding piece of placement. Soul Limbo's hurdles form reads well but the trip is a concern for his Flat-race debut, while Alcarath and Satavia need steps forward based on what they've achieved so far. With that in mind, Hellion may well be of interest on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Explode 2nd Hellion 3rd Soul Limbo

Several boast sound credentials but GREY OWL was in similar form ahead of winning this corresponding race 12 month ago and again looks to be a key player from just 3lb higher. Taritino, Sawgrass and Balgowan also come in this after consistent efforts and each adds enough to suggest support in the betting market could prove to be significant. Solar Pass is yet another with an each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st Grey Owl 2nd Taritino 3rd Sawgrass
