UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

THE THROSTLES produced his best effort for a while when third at Haydock on his most recent start and a repeat of that effort may prove enough to get him back to winning ways. Banksy's Art is of interest on stable debut for Amanda Perrett and only being 2lb higher than his Chepstow success in May, while Elsie Violet and Light Of Air complete the shortlist on their recent performances.
Prediction : 1st The Throstles 2nd Banksys Art 3rd Elsie Violet

LUCKY'S DREAM was unable to land the hat-trick at Leicester on his most recent outing, but Ian Williams' gelding could bounce back with leading amateur Simon Walker in the saddle. Magic Shuffle proved his victory at Bath wasn't a fluke when third at Windsor earlier in the month and he is expected to be competitive once again, while Blue Medici has to enter calculations on his recent Nottingham success.
Prediction : 1st Luckys Dream 2nd Magic Shuffle 3rd Blue Medici

KNIGHT SHIELD has to give 6lb to all of his rivals after getting up in the dying strides to make a winning debut at Windsor. The son of Starspangledbanner is expected to take a decent step forward from that effort and could account for the likes of Island Warrior, who is a half-brother to the Listed-placed Squats, and Striding Edge, who will have benefited from his racecourse bow at Kempton last month.
Prediction : 1st Knight Shield 2nd Island Warrior 3rd Striding Edge

CHROMIUM took a step in the right direction when landing second over track and trip last time and could build on that run now sporting first-time cheekpieces and moving into a nursery. Red Sun lost two places close home over 6f here last time but a mark of 72 appears workable on his handicap bow and he's the one expected to put up most resistance. Don't Joke, who attracted market support at Ripon last time, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Chromium 2nd Red Sun 3rd Dont Joke

INCREDULOUS was ridden more positively when landing a novice race from the front over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time and, in this small field, could pose a tactical danger to all on her handicap debut. Just The Man has been running creditably in defeat in handicaps lately and remains open to more improvement over 1m2f, though the main danger may be Sophosc, who rattled the crossbar at Doncaster two weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Incredulous 2nd Sophosc 3rd Just The Man

The form of BOOMER's opening fourth at Haydock looks rock solid with the runner-up and third both scoring since and, with improvement anticipated, she can play a leading role. Deep Snow cost 80,000gns as a yearling and is certainly bred for the job, being a half-sister to 7f Group 3 scorer Arctic Sound. She merits a market check at least ahead of her racecourse debut, with Stylistique and New Tune other newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Boomer 2nd Deep Snow 3rd Stylistique

Ragstone View was successful over the straight mile here latest and should remain competitive off 4lb higher, while Gambon warrants respect on his handicap debut after making it sixth time lucky in a Leicester maiden. However, a chance is taken on MAJESTIC MAC, whose recent form has been encouraging and he drops into class 5 company for the first time since winning readily on his handicap bow at Epsom some 11 months ago.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Mac 2nd Ragstone View 3rd Gambon

KIRKLAND FOREVER has developed into a real likeable, consistent mare and she looks like the one they all have to beat, despite a further 2lb rise in the ratings. Harmonise posted a solid third-placed effort over C&D last time and must enter calculations lining up off 1lb lower, while the top-rated Lightening Dance and Raven's Raft, who eases down from 0-80 company, are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Kirkland Forever 2nd Harmonise 3rd Lightening Dance
