UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

A highly encouraging second in the Albany before scoring from a couple of subsequent winners at Leicester last time out, AWAKEN sets the standard on form and she can take this prestigious Group 3. Going back up in trip should suit Flowerhead following a creditable third in a Listed contest at Newbury over 5f, while Planet Seeker arrives on the back of a determined debut success at Goodwood for last year's winning connections. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Anthelia, Golden Palace and Spinning Lizzie.
Prediction : 1st Awaken 2nd Flowerhead 3rd Planet Seeker

This represents a significant drop in grade for EVANESCO, following a down-the-field effort in Group 3 company at Deauville, and he looks the one to beat on his penultimate second at Goodwood. Improvement can be expected over further from Hell Yeah He Did following a disappointing effort when fancied first time out at Kempton, while Boilermaker and Morven look to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Evanesco 2nd Hell Yeah He Did 3rd Morven

A tad unlucky in a valuable nursery handicap at York when short of room after the start, DUBLIN BAY still did well to run on for sixth and stepping up to 7f could prove ideal on this occasion. The booking of Billy Loughnane catches the eye and the son of New Bay may have too much for unexposed handicap debutant Calchas and French Affair, who wasn't beaten too far in his bid for the double at Ffos Las last month.
Prediction : 1st Dublin Bay 2nd Calchas 3rd French Affair

CASTRILLO built on a promising debut when winning over 7f at Chepstow last month and it would be no surprise to see the son of Belardo follow up in this company. Blooming Legend arrives on the back of two wins in August and Charlie Clover's filly is likely to be in the mix once again, while Supreme Clarets and Steel Drum are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Castrillo 2nd Blooming Legend 3rd Supreme Clarets

UNDER THE TWILIGHT has been narrowly denied on both starts since winning at Windsor in June and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to return to winning ways. Thunderous Love has progressed well this year and should not be written off, despite a defeat at Pontefract last time. The shortlist is completed by Monsieur Kodi, Thunder Blue and Wodao.
Prediction : 1st Under The Twilight 2nd Thunderous Love 3rd Monsieur Kodi

SILVER WRAITH has been running well in defeat of late and Emma Lavelle's filly was third over 6f at Epsom last time. Off a 1lb lower mark, she could play a leading role in a race of this nature. Francis Drake is likely to be a big danger if transferring his recent all-weather form to turf, while Be An Angel and Bonnita are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Silver Wraith 2nd Francis Drake 3rd Be An Angel

This might prove to be a penalty kick for PALLADIUM. The four-year-old is rated 13lb superior than his nearest rival Fairy Glen and if in anything like the form of his fourth in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot two starts ago, he will prove very tough to beat. Fairy Glen was well beaten in fourth in Listed company when last seen and she is the main threat, while Artistic Star looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Palladium 2nd Fairy Glen 3rd Artistic Star

Berkshire Smudge appreciated the drop to this distance when scoring by a neck at Ffos Las last month and should remain competitive. However, a chance can be taken on RELOCAL, who hasn't shown a great deal in his three starts in maiden/novice company but has been gelded since. Roger Varian's charge is bred to be a lot better than a rating of 69 and gets the vote. Glint Of Light completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Relocal 2nd Berkshire Smudge 3rd Glint Of Light
