UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

Dropping in class and trip could be a good combination for HIBERNATE, who is back on a winning mark and won't need to find much to stamp his authority under top weight. Merapi is feared the most following a respectable second over 1m here last time. Michael Keady's filly is still a maiden after 12 previous attempts but is too well handicapped to dismiss. Twilight Guest runs off 5lb below his last successful rating and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hibernate 2nd Merapi 3rd Twilight Guest

FASHION PEOPLE was a well-backed favourite when successfully introduced at Newcastle on her sole start as juvenile. There was enough in the performance to suggest the daughter of Mehmas is a fair prospect and is a logical choice, despite a 7lb penalty. The well-bred Night Shining, who cost 475,000gns as a yearling, is entitled to be wiser on just her second career start. George Boughey's filly has bags of scope and is feared more than the consistent Baandee on that basis.
Prediction : 1st Fashion People 2nd Night Shining 3rd Baandee

Venetian Lion is related to several winners and the well-bred newcomer may be the pick of the William Haggas-trained pair, while Alpine Culture and Euston Hall have shown some promise and merit close inspection in the betting market. However, slender preference is for FAHIDI, who debuted in a Sandown maiden that worked out well, before he finished a respectable third at Haydock despite running green. Sure to be wiser, Andrew Balding's colt can get off the mark with another step forward.
Prediction : 1st Fahidi 2nd Venetian Lion 3rd Alpine Culture

It's hard to look past ALICE DE CLARE, who made her way through the field to just be denied on her handicap debut at Bath, finishing nicely clear of the third. James Fanshawe's filly competes off the same mark and as long as this quick turnaround doesn't inconvenience her, she will prove hard to beat. Sports Day finished a close third over a mile here earlier in the month and may improve for this step up in trip. Grindleton is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Alice De Clare 2nd Sports Day 3rd Grindleton

Golden Horse got off the mark over an extended mile at Hamilton prior to only managing sixth under a penalty at Newmarket next time. His opening figure of 79 is unlikely to be beyond him so he has to be respected, but a chance can be taken on CLOUDS HILL. Charlie Johnston's charge shed his maiden tag at Newcastle in November, shaping as if this step up in distance would bring out improvement, and he looks the one to side with. A Major Payne is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Clouds Hill 2nd Golden Horse 3rd A Major Payne

ZIGHY returned the eyecatching winner over 6f at Southwell on her recent reappearance. She pulled clear of the opposition in taking fashion and a 6lb rise may not be enough to anchor George Boughey's filly on that showing. Moonshine is another on an upward curve on the evidence of her novice win at Kempton. She makes her handicap debut with a shout, while You'll Think Of Me and Harlequin Angel are also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Zighy 2nd Moonshine 3rd Youll Think Of Me

DEL CORSO was sent off favourite for his reappearance and handicap debut. The son of Dubawi was beaten less than a length in third and Ed Walker's charge has clearly improved since last season so is taken to get off the mark. Armstrong was another beaten favourite when finding one too good at Bath. He could feature again with a similar effort, while Zooter drops in distance with a shout back on the turf.
Prediction : 1st Del Corso 2nd Armstrong 3rd Zooter
