UK Horse Racing Tips: York

This is wide open and only a tentative vote can go to AN OUTLAW'S GRACE. The son of Dandy Man is without a win since his debut at Salisbury, but he returned to form with an encouraging second at Windsor recently and looks to hold solid claims from an unchanged mark. Orne remains of interest following a creditable third over 7f here last week, while 66/1 Hamilton winner Mae Amor renewals her rivalry with runner-up Jonny Concrete. Papa Cocktail arrives following a brace of seconds and could also be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st An Outlaws Grace 2nd Orne 3rd Mae Amor

CUBAN HEELS was unable to justify favouritism on his debut at Ascot last month, but the Havana Grey colt can put that experience to good use and reward those that keep the faith. Karl Burke's youngsters are usually worth following and Possessive is no different, although he might prefer a bit further in time. Ten Sovereigns colt Mussab is another to consider given his connections, and keep in mind Lake Muritz, who drops in class having come up short in the Marygate.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Heels 2nd Possessive 3rd Mussab

Another open sprint in which a chance can be taken on LETHAL NYMPH. The seven-year-old belied odds of 80/1 to finish a creditable fourth over C&D on Dante Day and could build on it given the likely strong pace, especially with the added bonus of a 1lb ease in the handicap. Fortification was another to run well at a huge price, winning at odds of 40/1 over track and trip the following day. Brian Ellison's charge has few miles on the clock and could go well once again from a handy racing weight. Hamilton winner Vantheman and reopposing second Reigning Profit enter the reckoning, as does Goodwood runner-up King Of Light. Alvin and Pilgrim are just two more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lethal Nymph 2nd Fortification 3rd Vantheman

Having ended her four-year-old campaign with an impressive Listed triumph at Doncaster, DANIELLE could prove tough to stop on this slight rise in class. The Gosdens' mare had previously finished a decent fifth in the Group 1 Champions Fillies & Mares at Ascot and an official rating of 114 makes her the one to beat. Miss Alpilles boasts a recent run after finishing third in the Sagaro and she's feared most, ahead of Lava Stream.
Prediction : 1st Danielle 2nd Miss Alpilles 3rd Lava Stream

Sporting Light has proved a different proposition since returning from a 178-day break with two victories at Southwell, and he must enter calculations given his upward trajectory. However, a 10lb hike from the assessor does demand more of the son of Calyx, which could leave the door open for ZARVALI to complete a double. Roger Fell's charge was value for further when winning on his stable bow at Catterick recently and there could be more to come on just his second start over this distance. The hat-trick seeking Reliable Ricki is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zarvali 2nd Sporting Light 3rd Reliable Ricki

BRIDGE OF EAGLES took a major step forward on his first start as a three-year-old when getting up late to win by a head at Goodwood, his first start since beng gelded. With the prospect of more to come, the son of Gleneagles merits plenty of respect. Alba Gu Brath stayed on to win over a mile before failing to see out 1m4f at Doncaster but he could be better suited by this trip and may hold off Simon Pierre for second.
Prediction : 1st Bridge Of Eagles 2nd Alba Gu Brath 3rd Simon Pierre

Rascal Recknell ended last season in top form with two wins and a second from four starts after joining Mick Appleby, but he has been put up another 2lb and may have to settle for a place here. BEALE STREET was value for more than the official margin of a neck, after getting a clear run at the last moment at Newcastle, and he gets to race off 6lb lower back on turf which gives him every chance. The consistent Pulsar Star gets the nod for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Beale Street 2nd Rascal Recknell 3rd Pulsar Star
