UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

GREYDREAMBELIEVER has solid claims of ending a losing spell. This looks a much easier task than her recent assignments and, though narrowly beaten by today's rival Rion Rubette over C&D on a couple of occasions earlier in the year, Joseph O'Brien's Dark Angel filly reopposes on more favourable terms. The latter may well be in the mix once again, but City House has been contesting hot handicaps this summer and rates a bigger threat at this level.
Prediction : 1st Greydreambeliever 2nd City House 3rd Rion Rubette

Disappointing last time, NEVERMINDTHERAIN drops back into maiden company. The half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Puerto Rico, she finished a creditable third in a Group 3 over 7f at Cork back in July and Aidan O'Brien's charge could prove hard to beat over this longer trip if back on song. Stablemate Hereafter is one to monitor on her introduction, while Castilian Queen was well held but nonetheless shaped nicely at Cork on debut. Isle Of Capri has proven ability and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Nevermindtherain 2nd Hereafter 3rd Castilian Queen

ALBANY COUNTY has shown plenty of ability. An eye-catching fourth at the Curragh on debut, she was no match for stablemate and subsequent Group 1 winner Darkness Falls when second at the same venue last time, but meets nothing of that calibre in this and can open her account. Breath Of Paradise could be thereabouts having finished narrowly ahead of the selection when third at the Curragh, while Mount Meru is a half-brother to a winner and is a newcomer to note, along with Pirate Of Penzance.
Prediction : 1st Albany County 2nd Breath Of Paradise 3rd Mount Meru

FAIYUM has been a beaten favourite in her three runs this year but will be suited by easing ground and won this race last year. A smart performer who finished narrowly behind subsequent Group 1-winner Barnavara in June 2025 and, if reproducing that level of form, she will prove tough to beat. Sindria was only one placed behind the selection at the Curragh last month and commands respect. Star Performer easily defeated both Hollys Graces and Classiest to win a C&D Listed race last month, but faces tougher opponents now. Caught U Sleeping would prefer good ground and is tried in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Faiyum 2nd Sindria 3rd Star Performer

It is hoped COLPE CROSS will improve from her recent reappearance run because she had previously shown nice ability and now contests an ordinary maiden. Godolphin-bred and a granddaughter of French Oaks winner West Wind, the selection has clearly had her training issues, but the five-year-old shaped as though she would benefit from her recent Navan outing. Dubawi-sired Big Cypress was gelded after finishing fifth at Fairyhouse in June and is respected on his return. Sherekiya and Suir Monad are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Colpe Cross 2nd Big Cypress 3rd Sherekiya

MAKE THE TIDE has taken a few months to show worthwhile form, but has turned the tide in recent outings and being a lightly-raced three-year-old, can continue to progress. She was well supported when scoring readily at Navan and while beaten under a 7lb fixed penalty three days later, that race is already working out very well. Sunrise Angel has been raised 9lb for his recent ready success at Cork, but is also a progressive three-year-old. Hassaniya finished second off this mark at Punchestown just four days ago, while Maeve Brennan, Moyassr and Cladach each have solid recent form.
Prediction : 1st Make The Tide 2nd Sunrise Angel 3rd Hassaniya

REPONSE FINALE is busier than most and can continue her excellent recent form. Gavin Cromwell's filly won twice and finished runner-up once in just a four-day period in August and only found one too good over 1m2f at Clonmel last Wednesday. She goes off an unchanged mark and looks the way to go. Chipsrdown hasn't raced since winning in June and is just 3lb higher today, so she needs to be taken seriously. Selective Power wasn't beaten far into fourth over C&D at the start of the month and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Reponse Finale 2nd Chipsrdown 3rd Selective Power
