UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

ENCIPHER only found a rival with previous experience narrowly too good on his debut at Haydock two weeks ago and that form was boosted when the third won at Ascot last weekend. Based on that evidence, he is the best of those with previous experience by a long way and it will take a well above-average newcomer to beat him. Native Tribe must have put in an eye-catching breeze when sold for 300,000gns earlier in the year, having cost just 35,000 last October, and he is arguably the most interesting debutant. That said, Oslo is out of the Breeders' Cup winner Intercontinental, which means that he also shares his page with the likes of Banks Hill and Dansili.
Prediction : 1st Encipher 2nd Native Tribe 3rd Oslo

NASAIYM hit the crossbar on her debut over 5f at Thirsk in May and that form suggests she is the one to beat in this contest, especially as she should improve for the step up in trip. That said, Elegant Erin also caught the eye on her debut and she should not be underestimated. Sorteo cost 160,000gns as a yearling and she is a half-sister to the top-class three-year-old Broome. Andrew Balding's filly should have more pace than her half-brother, who is a son of Australia, being by Invincible Spirit. Others to consider are Dirty Dancer, Dutch Painting and Run Wild.
Prediction : 1st Nasaiym 2nd Elegant Erin 3rd Sorteo

SEA OF FAITH justified her short odds to get off the mark at Doncaster last month in what was nothing more than a light workout, but she is fancied to use that confidence-booster to good effect and could improve for this slightly stiffer test of stamina. Connections did consider the Irish Oaks, such is her talent, but this is another nice stepping stone and the three-year-old looks hard to be against off a mark of 95. I'll Have Another was deemed good enough to run in the Group 3 Musidora at York in May and wasn't beaten far, while the unexposed Motivate Me could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sea of Faith 2nd Ill Have Another 3rd Motivate Me

Dream Shot only found the Queen Mary fourth too good when finishing second at Sandown two weeks ago and promises to be suited by this step up to 6f, while the unbeaten Al Aakif has the right profile for this sort of event and seems to relish a lively terrain. Kevin Ryan looks to have a smart team of juveniles and 310,000gns purchase REPARTEE might just be the best of them. An easy winner at York on debut in May, it may have been wise for connections to skip Royal Ascot and he could be one to follow throughout the second half of the season.
Prediction : 1st Repartee 2nd Al Aakif 3rd Dream Shot

KIEFER thrived here on his handicap debut in May and was narrowly denied when looking to follow up at Salisbury last time. Eve Johnson Houghton's three-year-old makes plenty of appeal once again off a 4lb higher mark. Lexington Law returned to turf in winning fashion at Thirsk earlier this month and is respected, while the strong-staying Noble Behest is a multiple winner who could prove just as effective at this trip.
Prediction : 1st Kiefer 2nd Lexington Law 3rd Noble Behest

BIOTIC dropped to a mile and scored in a lady riders contest at Sandown earlier this month and can follow up off a 6lb higher mark with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Fortune And Glory was a comfortable winner at Kempton last time and now carries a 5lb penalty which leaves the War Front gelding 3lb well-in, while Lucky Louie and Sir Jamie are others who arrive here in good form.
Prediction : 1st Biotic 2nd Fortune And Glory 3rd Sir Jamie

JUNGLE JUICE has won three of her last four starts and, having thrived at Chepstow over this trip last week, Mick Channon's three-year-old makes plenty of appeal under a 6lb penalty, with jockey George Bass having partnered the filly to victory once this season. Kachumba is another carrying a penalty following her comfortable Brighton win and has to be respected, while Crystal Casque was on the scoresheet at Kempton last time and is just 2lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Juice 2nd Kachumba 3rd Crystal Casque
