UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

Darkest Red keeps knocking hard at the door and has to be respected, but CELESTARAK is a proven winner having been given the race in the stewards room at Goodwood last month and that edges him the vote. He's only 3lb higher this time and should have further improvement in his locker. Handicap newcomer Zurna is interesting following a promising second.
Prediction : 1st Celestarak 2nd Darkest Red 3rd Zurna

Eabha has claimed minor honours on both of her starts so far and is likely to run another honest race, but it might pay to side with the David Simcock-trained MINNAL. The daughter of Pinatubo kept on well for sixth on her debut, having missed the break. She ought to be sharper this time around and is fancied to take a step forward. Pearl Grace is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Minnal 2nd Eabha 3rd Pearl Grace

JERSEY MAVERICK found 6f a little too sharp at Leicester but even so, he still kept on well to claim the silver medal. The C&D winner should do better back on the Downs and is expected to record a second career triumph. Panelli returns from a 147-day absence but will be a threat to all if picking up from where he left off, and don't rule out Stenmark.
Prediction : 1st Jersey Maverick 2nd Panelli 3rd Stenmark

King Of Chaos returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last month and has to be respected, but he will need to transfer that form to turf. With that in mind, RAGE OF THUNDER gets the vote. The son of Inns Of Court justified favouritism at Newbury on his most recent start and looks to have found a good opportunity to complete a double. Acclaimed Freedom is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rage Of Thunder 2nd King Of Chaos 3rd Acclaimed Freedom

Swiped hasn't finished outside the top two in each of his last three outings and connections will be hoping the first-time visor brings out further improvement. However, PLAY ME made his way through the field to score by half a length at Brighton last month and if the son of Too Darn Hot is in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Darvel isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Play Me 2nd Swiped 3rd Darvel

Living In Hope showed more when fourth over a mile at Goodwood on her return to the fray and is of interest off an opening mark of 65. Takeitorleaveit has taken the silver medal home the last twice and should remain competitive, but the hat-trick seeking SAIL ON SAILOR gets the nod. Simon Dow's gelding won by a length at Lingfield on his latest outing and could make it three wins from five starts for the yard.
Prediction : 1st Sail On Sailor 2nd Living In Hope 3rd Takeitorleaveit
