Trained by Karl Burke, Thunder Run did not see the racecourse as a juvenile, making his debut at Wetherby in June, where he was beaten a length and a quarter by the more experience Tiaraqueen over seven furlongs. The Night Of Thunder gelding looked in need of a longer trip given the way he finished his race and Burke duly moved up to a mile at Thirsk at the start of July. Thunder Run thrived for the extra furlong, beating well-regarded The Reverend by just over four lengths in the manner of a pretty smart individual, making all to win with ease and a similar effort might be good enough, even with a winner’s penalty. Kiss Me My Love was outclassed at Royal Ascot but should find the British Stallions Studs EBF Nursery Handicap a more suitable assignment. Second on her first two runs, she booked her Queen Mary Stakes ticket with a cosy Carlisle win but the leap to Group Two level proved too stern a task as she came home 19th, beaten 10 length as a 200-1 shot. An opening mark of 71 looks fair for this five-furlong contest. Caramay is interesting upped to a mile and a half in the Nelson Restaurant For Classic Raceday Dining Handicap at Leicester. A daughter of Lethal Force, Caramay clearly derives her stamina from her dam’s side and with her Mehmas half-brother having twice triumphed over 12 furlongs, she may well see it out too. Sameem can make a successful southern raid in the Betfred ‘Bet Builder’ Ladies’ Derby Handicap at Epsom. Trained by Tim Easterby, Sameem shook off a lacklustre return to action to win Ripon’s version of this race in cosy style last month. The winning distance was just three-quarters of a length which limited the handicapper to a 3lb rise, a burden that does not look insurmountable. Guiteau turns out under a 5lb penalty for the Betfred Nifty 50 Handicap. He won over this course and distance last week and is technically 4lb well in on his revised mark. --- Top tips for today’s UK meetings TAB is betting on 5 UK meetings today. Here are the tips.
