UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

SAIKUNG was far from disgraced when third on her handicap debut over this trip at Chepstow two weeks ago and it is possible she can step up on that effort now switched to a stiffer track. Redemptive was touched off by a head over 1m at Windsor last month and wouldn't need to find much improvement in order to gain compensation, while Chop Chop, a fair third over this trip in novice company at Kempton in February, is worth a market check on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Saikung 2nd Redemptive 3rd Chop Chop

MR TYRRELL looked on good terms with himself when romping home by six lengths at Bath 11 days ago and rates the one to beat now turned out swiftly under a penalty. Glenn Coco switches back to this sphere after landing a hat-trick on the all-weather and has an obvious chance now running off a lower turf mark. Rock of Estonia is another switching surfaces to consider, having bolted up over this trip on the Fibresand at Southwell earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Mr Tyrrell 2nd Glenn Coco 3rd Rock of Estonia

Lunar Jet performed well in defeat at Doncaster last month but needs to find improvement to win off this mark, while Rotherwick isn't easy to catch right and might just need this returning from a 196-day absence. Perfect Illusion has only ever won on the Polytrack at Lingfield, and this can go to recent Newcastle scorer HARBOUR BREEZE. The four-year-old remains open to improvement on just his sixth career start and could kick on despite a 4lb rise now back on grass.
Prediction : 1st Harbour Breeze 2nd Lunar Jet 3rd Rotherwick

GUMBALL remains unbeaten on the Flat and could defy a 4lb rise back under the guidance of Oisin Murphy. The five-year-old has been a revelation since switched to this code earlier in the year and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him continue on the upwards curve and contest some of the big staying handicaps in the autumn. Busy Street might do better now dropped in trip and returned to turf, while Reshoun was behind the selection at Salisbury last month but continues to thrive off his career-high mark.
Prediction : 1st Gumball 2nd Busy Street 3rd Reshoun

Godolphin are mob-handed and it may be Charlie Appleby's VELORUM who is the pick of the trio. The Sea The Stars colt, who cost 425,000 guineas as a juvenile, found just the 2000 Guineas third Skardu too good on his debut here in the autumn and could improve now stepping up from 7f. Saeed bin Suroor's pair in the royal blue silks, Yarmouth second Land Of Legends and debutant Meqdam, both require respect, while Edaraat was just a place behind Land Of Legends in the aforementioned Yarmouth encounter and could be the best of Roger Varian's duo. Pontefract winner Desert icon and Ralph Beckett's Recondite are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Velorum 2nd Land Of Legends 3rd Edaraat

ENIGMATIC enjoyed the return to a mile on his reappearance, landing the spoils at Ascot, and despite a 5lb rise making life tougher, Alan Bailey's game five-year-old is backed to be involved at the finish once again. Medieval was some four lengths adrift in third on that occasion and could finish closer off the same rating, while Laieth is interesting on his first run back in the UK following a stint in Meydan this winter.
Prediction : 1st Enigmatic 2nd Medieval 3rd Laieth

The in-form MAJOR VALENTINE landed his second victory of the campaign in comfortable fashion at Chepstow earlier this week and looks to add further success turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty. Blinkers could help Lethal Angel build on his Doncaster third and jockey Marco Ghiani removes a valuable 6lb, while National Glory was only beaten a neck at Windsor and races off the same mark. Suzi's Connoisseur and Big Lachie are others who enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Major Valentine 2nd Lethal Angel 3rd National Glory
