UK Horse Racing Tips: York

This could hardly be more competitive and many have chances. Zarathos, Stratocracy, Highland Olly and Havana Prince all command respect as last-time-out winners, while Style Of Life is the type to go well in a race of this nature. A speculative vote goes to SPIRIT GENIE, who runs off 8lb below his last winning mark and will have an enhanced chance if the forecast rain gets into the ground. Quest For Fun was fourth in this last year and is another each-way option.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Genie 2nd Zarathos 3rd Highland Olly

SYNCHRONICITY, a full-sister to the top-class Ombudsman, is an exciting filly who made a very pleasing successful debut at Newbury last month. Three subsequent winners have already come out of that race and this 900,000gns purchase looks a very bright prospect. Pacific Mission was last seen finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar and has rock-solid credentials at this level. So Regal boasts a Coronation Stakes entry and will need a bold showing to enhance her Royal Ascot prospects.
Prediction : 1st Synchronicity 2nd So Regal 3rd Pacific Mission

Four-year-olds have ruled the roost in recent times and the low-mileage WARRANT HOLDER can enhance the record of his age group. The winner of two of his five previous starts, the son of Frankel looks a fair prospect and resumes on turf as a compelling option. He could end up being better than a handicapper and may be too progressive for elder rivals such as last year's winner Thunder Run, recent Pontefract scorer Have Secret and Tony Montana, who filled the runner-up berth 12 months ago.
Prediction : 1st Warrant Holder 2nd Thunder Run 3rd Have Secret

Lover Girl confirmed the promise of her debut win when following up in a conditions event at Salisbury earlier in the month. It would be no surprise to see her in the mix once again, but marginal preference is for PRINCESSE D'ORANGE. The daughter of Ardad created a big impression when scoring on her racecourse bow at Beverley a month ago and that form suggests that she could be well above average. Armor Supreme should not be underestimated following her Goodwood win, while Love A Giggle and Lady Blanche are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Princesse Dorange 2nd Lover Girl 3rd Armor Supreme

Amiloc arguably improved on his King Edward VII victory with high-class efforts in defeat in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf to end his three-year-old campaign. However, marginal preference on this occasion is for RAHIEBB, who was only beaten a neck into second in the St Leger at Doncaster when last seen in September. The son of Frankel could make a big impression in these types of races this season. On the pick of his form from last year, Furthur is another who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Rahiebb 2nd Amiloc 3rd Furthur

SCHRODINGER'S CAT looks worth another chance returning to a straight 5f. He failed to get a clear run when finishing a close second at Chester last week and Grant Tuer's sprinter will be hard to keep out of the finish off the same mark. Unbeaten last term, Desert Treasure makes her seasonal/handicap debut and is preferred to the other unbeaten filly Shes Got A Brother, while Stargazed also has plenty of scope and wasn't disgraced in a French Group 3.
Prediction : 1st Schrodingers Cat 2nd Desert Treasure 3rd Stargazed

The Gosdens have won all three previous renewals and PORTCULLIS will likely prove a warm order, despite his penalty. An impressive winner of the Wood Ditton on debut, the son of Frankel overcame signs of inexperience to pull readily clear of his Newmarket rivals and an entry in next month's St James's Palace Stakes suggests bigger things are expected. Weheedd displayed plenty of promise when runner-up at Yarmouth, while Ervani looks another likely improver.
Prediction : 1st Portcullis 2nd Weheedd 3rd Ervani
