UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

Red Tsarina built on her debut second to justify favouritism at Chelmsford, but she might find it tough under her penalty against ST ANTON. Richard Hannon's colt showed ability when finishing third on his introduction at Newmarket and it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward. Edwin Hubble changed hands for 90,000gns as a yearling and is probably better than his seventh at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st St Anton 2nd Red Tsarina 3rd Edwin Hubble

Cypriot Diaspora completed a C&D double at Ffos Las and is likely to have her supporters, but a further 3lb rise might open the door for VALLEY OFTHE KINGS. Dylan Cunha's four-year-old had Mafnood just behind when filling the runner-up spot in this grade over C&D and may have more to offer on just his second handicap outing. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Valley Ofthe Kings 2nd Cypriot Diaspora 3rd Mafnood

Roman Secret hasn't run badly in any of her four appearances for the Kevin Frost stable and should remain competitive off a workable mark. Didaar made the frame over a mile at Ffos Las last time and is respected, but IREZUMI gets the vote. The five-year-old has finished in the top three in each of his last seven outings, most recently when third over 1m4f at Brighton, and this drop back in trip might work the oracle.
Prediction : 1st Irezumi 2nd Roman Secret 3rd Didaar

Tom Cannon knows what it takes to win this race and has a chance again on board Westerton, who ran on strongly when fifth over 1m2f at Goodwood and is 2lb lower now. Expressionless was beaten less than a length in third at Catterick and could also go well, but EDUCATOR is preferred. Fourth in a better race at Southwell, the booking of Brendan Powell by Henrietta Knight seems to suggest they mean business.
Prediction : 1st Educator 2nd Westerton 3rd Expressionless

Night Tara has been in good form, with a win at Chelmsford and close-up seconds there and at Southwell, and an extra furlong may well bring about further improvement. However, EMILY REBECCA also drops a class and, with a C&D victory to her name in July, she could prove too good for these, with Alec Voikhansky good value for his 3lb claim. Love You Back is another to consider for last year's winning stable.
Prediction : 1st Emily Rebecca 2nd Night Tara 3rd Love You Back

ATLANTIS BLUE hit her head in the stalls at Goodwood and failed to get involved. George Baker's mare is better judged on her penultimate effort when second in a warm class 3 over the same C&D and, now dropped into a class 5, she ought to go very close. Ombrecell makes his turf debut having been in good form on the all-weather earlier in the year. He could mount a serious challenge if handling the switch, but recent Sandown victor Tronido might be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Atlantis Blue 2nd Tronido 3rd Ombrecell

Gorgeous Mr George made it three wins from his last four starts when bolting up at Yarmouth but, although respected, a subsequent 10lb rise could be a bridge too far. With that in mind, it might be best to side with AMIDST THE CHAOS. Nigel Tinkler's charge made a successful handicap bow at Doncaster before following up at Musselburgh and a further 7lb hike shouldn't be beyond the low-mileage gelding. Play Me is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Amidst The Chaos 2nd Gorgeous Mr George 3rd Play Me
