UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

All of these have claims, but preference is for SHADOW BRIGADE. George Scott's gelding had more in hand than the winning margins suggests over 1m2f at Doncaster last time and a 4lb rise may underestimate him, especially with further improvement likely now stepped up further in trip. The recent C&D winner Mr Bollinger may prove to be the main threat, although Brighton View cannot be discounted at all.
Prediction : 1st Shadow Brigade 2nd Mr Bollinger 3rd Brighton View

Telegraphic has to be respected having bolted up at Brighton on his second start but he may struggle to give 6lb to KEEP GRATING. Richard Hannon's colt has improved with each outing and was only beaten a head into second on his most recent appearance at Doncaster. Any further progression could see him get off the mark here. Biscaysian and Javelot merit market inspections on their racecourse bows.
Prediction : 1st Keep Grating 2nd Telegraphic 3rd Biscaysian

It's hard to put maximum faith in VALSHARAH given that he remains a maiden after 28 starts, but there have been some really encouraging signs of late and returning to 7f might elicit that bit more required to break his duck. Nicely Curved shares a similar profile to the selection and looks to be the main threat, whereas Aspire To Glory already has six wins on his CV and has Tom Marquand doing the steering for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Valsharah 2nd Nicely Curved 3rd Aspire To Glory

MELTING SNOW showed up well for a long way on her handicap bow at Beverley before ultimately weakening inside the final furlong, and the well-related daughter of Too Darn Hot is expected to progress now dropped in trip and fitted with first-time cheekpieces. C&D winner Guest House ranks highly among the challengers after another solid effort over track and trip, but don't underestimate Bellini Spirit because although well beaten at Ascot, this is nowhere near as competitive.
Prediction : 1st Melting Snow 2nd Guest House 3rd Bellini Spirit

THE UBERMENSCH and Nuptown Girl are the pair to focus on, with slender preference for the former, who was a game winner here last time out and the booking of Billy Loghnane can only be seen as positive for the follow up bid. The latter is attractively weighted and can make this a good test, with Ryan Kavanagh's 3lb claim a notable asset. Big Alex Walmsley and Cuban Girl are others with course experience to keep an eye on in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st The Ubermensch 2nd Nuptown Girl 3rd Big Alex Walmsley

Antiphon returned to form with a close third in a classified contest at Nottingham last month and he merits consideration reverting to handicap company. However, there is a sneaking suspicion that PAPA DON'T PREACH can build on his third at Doncaster, with Billy Loughnane an eye-catching booking. Dragon God arrives here in better form than most and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Papa Dont Preach 2nd Antiphon 3rd Dragon God
