UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

The form of SUMMER ROMANCE's impressive debut success took a nice boost when the runner-up won readily at Brighton on Tuesday and she is fancied to complete the double for Charlie Appleby and James Doyle. Star Alexander and Shammah were both wide-margin winners when making all last time and that pair will ensure there is a good gallop (Companion also likely to be prominent), while Ursulina looked a smart prospect when successful on her introduction at Haydock.
Prediction : 1st Summer Romance 2nd Star Alexander 3rd Ursulina

Those with experience don't set the bar very high so it's best to concentrate on the newcomers. URSA MINOR is a well-bred son of Sea The Stars and cost 240,000gns as a yearling, so he will be fancied to go close on debut, while Al Dabaran, also in the colours of Godolphin, warrants respect representing a yard that have been in blistering form with their juveniles all year. Manigordo cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Ursa Minor 2nd Al Dabaran 3rd Manigordo

GLORIOUS JOURNEY had a fine three-year-old campaign, winning at this level in France, and he's certainly no worse this season judged on two solid performances. The Dubawi gelding built on his close-up eighth in the Victoria Cup when chasing home subsequent Diamond Jubilee second Dream Of Dreams in Listed company at Windsor and, with course-winning form under his belt, he looks sure to play a leading role in this contest. Suedois will be finishing fast and should grab a place, while Limato is respected following his pleasing comeback fourth in the Duke Of York.
Prediction : 1st Glorious Journey 2nd Suedois 3rd Limato

WALTON STREET has been off the track since finishing third in a competitive 1m4f handicap at Meydan in February but his trainer can ready his string after an absence and he's expected to give a good account. Wells Farhh Go is returning from a 311-day absence but should be thereabouts, if he's match fit, now dropping down from Group 2 level. Barsanti is sporting first-time cheekpieces as he bids to build on his recent effort in Listed company at Goodwood and makes more appeal than the 76-rated Birch Grove, who is readily dismissed on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Walton Street 2nd Wells Farhh Go 3rd Barsanti

Manorah will no doubt have her followers after scoring over 1m2f at Nottingham last time and could improve for this step up in trip, though it might be worth siding with VAMPISH, who caught the eye in third when denied a clear run over 1m6f here last weekend and is expected to give another good account off this 1lb higher mark. Any money for the eased-in-grade Mazzuri would also be notable.
Prediction : 1st Vampish 2nd Manorah 3rd Mazzuri

CARDANO has kept on improving through the handicap ranks and was just denied in his search for a hat-trick of victories at Goodwood earlier this month. Ian Williams' gelding may find further progression for the application of cheekpieces and can get the better of Starfighter, who appears to have more to offer over this distance, and recent Nottingham scorer Tangramm.
Prediction : 1st Cardano 2nd Starfighter 3rd Tangramm

UMMALNAR didn't get the clearest of runs on her return to action at Ripon nine days ago and this well-bred filly, a half-sister to top stayer Sheikhzayedroad, can leave that effort behind her as she returns to a mile. Akvavera could bounce back after struggling outside of handicap company on her last couple of outings, while Ocean Paradise warrants respect on her debut in this sphere having achieved a solid level of form so far in her career.
Prediction : 1st Ummalnar 2nd Akvavera 3rd Ocean Paradise
