UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

Having supplemented a debut victory at Bath with a good second in a class 2 event at Salisbury last month, it's difficult to get away from ZIGGY STARSHINE. The Starman filly makes grand appeal in these calmer waters and a second career triumph may beckon. Karl Burke has been doing well with his juveniles this season, so newcomer Wateera merits close inspection in the betting, followed by fellow debutant Hoosier.
Prediction : 1st Ziggy Starshine 2nd Wateera 3rd Hoosier

Lairy Mary made the most of a drop into claiming company when opening her account at Beverley recently and she must enter the reckoning given her current heart. However, CHEEKY CHESCA's latest second at Redcar could prove to be stronger form and she's fancied to make it fourth time lucky. 38,000-pound purchase Tzaritza is also worth a second look on her debut, with the booking of Oisin Murphy catching the eye.
Prediction : 1st Cheeky Chesca 2nd Lairy Mary 3rd Tzaritza

Veil Of Clouds is a half-sister to triple 5f winner Mon Na Slieve and market confidence behind her on debut would be interesting. That said, REIGNING QUEEN has posted two creditable efforts in defeat on both outings and she rates as the one to beat. Although Overbudget was underwhelming on her eighth-placed handicap bow at Windsor last month, she could make her presence felt reverting to novice company, while lightly-raced duo Black Orchid and Viviana aren't easily dismissed either.
Prediction : 1st Reigning Queen 2nd Veil Of Clouds 3rd Overbudget

Having got the better of a solid yardstick at Catterick 43 days ago, an opening mark of 72 looks workable for BORJINA. Edward Bethell's filly was having just her second outing that day and she is still open to improvement.. Nanoscience arrives on the back of a respected third at Newmarket and a reproduction of that performance should see her in the mix once more, while Hilltop and Lily Pearl share similar profiles.
Prediction : 1st Borjina 2nd Nanoscience 3rd Hilltop

It could pay to stick with the progressive CIAO CAPO, who ended last season with a victory and had a subsequent winner back in third when scoring nicely over 1m2f at Beverley most recently. That was is first start over 1m2f and, with further improvement a distinct possibility, he can go in again. Dalamara looks worth a try over this trip having found one too good over a mile at Ripon, while Doncaster fourth Haltonwood has plenty of scope.
Prediction : 1st Ciao Capo 2nd Dalamara 3rd Haltonwood

The winner of four of his last five outings, Roaring Ralph maintains appeal raised 3lb for his recent success at Ayr. However, INSPIRED would have finished a lot closer than fourth at York last time, where it not for being trapped behind a wall of horses and repeatedly denied a clear run. Karl Burke's four-year-old merits serious consideration off his current mark. Orne reverts to 7f with a shout and could make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Inspired 2nd Roaring Ralph 3rd Orne

CROCUS TIME can usually be relied on to run her race at this level. Ron Barr's sprinter scored at Redcar on only her second start over the minimum trip and there may well be more to come from her. Sir Benedict has revived of late and is no forlorn hope off his current mark, while Highland Bear is another to consider reverting to a shorter trip for her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Crocus Time 2nd Sir Benedict 3rd Highland Bear

DATA FATA SECUTUS finished strongly for third over the minimum trip at Redcar 10 days ago. With a visor added, this extra half-furlong and drop in class could prompt the Rebecca Menzies-trained filly to get her head in front. Northern Tempest only faded in the closing stages when placed over 6f at Ripon last week and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Sea Her Excel shades Powernap as the best alternative.
Prediction : 1st Data Fata Secutus 2nd Northern Tempest 3rd Sea Her Excel
