UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

EDGED OUT was back to something like her best when finishing second behind Big Lachie at Bath over this trip recently and the quick turnaround suggests she's come out of that race in good nick. Some 16lb below her last winning mark now, the daughter of Piccolo is well worth siding with. Jack The Truth carries a 5lb penalty for scoring at Newmarket last week and should be bang there at the business end, likewise course scorer Cookupastorm.
Prediction : 1st Edged Out 2nd Jack The Truth 3rd Cookupastorm

FAIR PASS emerged with plenty of credit when outrunning odds of 16-1 at Kempton on debut and normal improvement makes her a big player. She is the pick of those boasting racecourse experience and it is probably worth concentrating on a couple of the newcomers when assessing her main opposition. Dark Lady should know her job on debut given her connections and joins So Sharp, a well-bred daughter of Bated Breath, on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fair Pass 2nd Dark Lady 3rd So Sharp

Red Sun failed to build on an encouraging debut effort at Bath behind Illusionist when only managing seventh at Kempton recently. He wasn't disgraced on that occasion, running better than his finishing position suggests, but better was expected and perhaps this return to turf will see him in a better light. Pitcher appears to be improving between runs for a powerful yard and is noted along with Shadow Glen and Ethic.
Prediction : 1st Red Sun 2nd Pitcher 3rd Shadow Glen

LOGICIAN maintained his unbeaten record when scoring under a penalty at Newmarket and the son of Frankel returns to the scene of his debut success for his handicap bow. The step up to 1m4f is likely to bring about improvement and John Gosden's colt can take advantage of rivals that are more exposed. Just Hubert might have finished closer when fourth at Chester if he had a clearer run, while Massam may benefit from the change of stables to David Simcock.
Prediction : 1st Logician 2nd Just Hubert 3rd Massam

WITH CAUTION shaped at Chelmsford on her latest outing over 7f as though the drop back a furlong would be in her favour and James Tate's filly remains with potential making her sixth career start. Lethal Angel has been knocking on the door of late and is entitled to be in the mix once again, while the return to faster ground could see Chitra bounce back to form.
Prediction : 1st With Caution 2nd Lethal Angel 3rd Chitra

ANIF has been in fine form for a number of months, arguably producing a career-best performance when a short-head second at Goodwood last time, he shades the verdict in this open-looking handicap. Sudona twice ran well off this mark in May and has a definite chance with Oisin Murphy taking over the reigns, while High Acclaim and Nordic Flight are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Anif 2nd Sudona 3rd High Acclaim

JOHN BETJEMAN ran a blinder on his first start for Mark Gillard over 7f here, finishing a neck second behind subsequent winner Global Destination, and he's effectively 2lb better off tonight with Seamus Cronin's claim taken into consideration. He gets the nod but there are plenty of potential dangers, with Mandocello, who was successful on his handicap debut at Windsor, and Nottingham scorer Rambaldi topping the list.
Prediction : 1st John Betjeman 2nd Mandocello 3rd Rambaldi
