UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

Luminous Warrior won over a mile here last week and drops in trip under a penalty. Shades Of May is preferred on the back of a close third at Salisbury, but it's SO GRATEFUL that gets the vote. The eight-year-old has shown clear signs of a resurgence lately, having been thereabouts at the finish at both Beverley and Thirsk, and Serena Brotherton's presence in the saddle is another positive.
Prediction : 1st So Grateful 2nd Shades Of May 3rd Luminous Warrior

William Haggas has sent out the last two winners of this contest, but his representative Pure Majesty finished over four lengths in arrears of the promising SPEED OF SOUND at Newmarket on debut. Third on that occasion, Richard Spencer's filly posted another encouraging effort when runner-up in novice company at Ascot last time and the daughter of Sioux Nation looks one to keep on the right side of. Minkaas and Lilywhite Hart could also shape well.
Prediction : 1st Speed of Sound 2nd Pure Majesty 3rd Minkaas

Dubai Charm made a successful nursery debut when winning nicely over C&D. However, she has a 7lb rise to contend with and DOWMAN is of greater interest as a result. The latter has shown ability in all three starts so far culminating in a novice victory at Windsor in June. Subsequently gelded, George Boughey's charge should have more to offer now handicapping. Beauty Box is another to note having struggled in Listed company last time.
Prediction : 1st Dowman 2nd Dubai Charm 3rd Beauty Box

Time Thief and State Express are interesting enough newcomers to consider if they attract support in the betting market. However, LIBERATE has the benefit of experience and, having shown improvement from his debut run to finish a close-up third at Ffos Las most recently, another step forward can see the son of Muhaarar get off the mark at the third time of asking.
Prediction : 1st Liberate 2nd Time Thief 3rd State Express

HIGHLAND HARVEY was a well supported favourite when he got off the mark on just his third start for Gihan Arnolda here three weeks ago. With further improvement plausible over this new trip, another bold showing is likely. Regally Blonde stays well and runs off a competitive rating. He could be a bigger danger than the unexposed Urban Warrior, who commands respect but needs the first-time cheekpieces to draw improvement.
Prediction : 1st Highland Harvey 2nd Regally Blonde 3rd Urban Warrior

None of these are without risk. However, BANANA was a good second in a similar event at Chepstow on her seasonal debut and, with Taryn Langley claiming 5lb from the saddle, Scott Dixon's seven-year-old mare looks the safest option with her match-fitness topped up. Cabeza De Llave is very capable of having a say at this level, while Charging Bull has snippets of form that suggest he can also be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Banana 2nd Cabeza De Llave 3rd Charging Bull
