UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Multiply By Eight has to be considered based on an encouraging effort at Royal Ascot, but her most recent performance does not inspire a lot of confidence, while Predictable Tully and Sorteo are others who have had previous runs to note. That said, a chance can be taken with ARABIAN DREAM, who is a full-sister to the Group 2-winning sprinter and top sire Showcasing. She is also closely related to Camacho, while her family traces back to the Cheveley Park winner Prophecy. Charming Spirit is a full-sister to a Grade 3 winner on the turf in the US and she also shares her page with Cursory Glance. Other newcomers to note are Areehaa, Queen Of Clubs and Wejdan.
Prediction : 1st Arabian Dream 2nd Charming Spirit 3rd Multiply By Eight

AFTER JOHN was not disgraced in a much stronger race than this on his handicap debut at Newmarket in June and he has to be given the utmost respect off a 2lb lower mark. Strict Tempo bounced back to form at Salisbury 10 days ago and she merits a place on the shortlist, while Hawridge Storm and Nefarious could also go well.
Prediction : 1st After John 2nd Strict Tempo 3rd Nefarious

SESAME BIRAH got off the mark at Chester two starts ago and she was only beaten three lengths in a Group 3 in France 10 days ago. A reproduction of either of those efforts should be good enough to win this contest, despite having to shoulder a penalty. Grimsthorpe Castle is out of a half-sister to Nathaniel and he is arguably the most eye-catching newcomer, ahead of Afraid Of Nothing and Machios.
Prediction : 1st Sesame Birah 2nd Grimsthorpe Castle 3rd Afraid Of Nothing

Chairlift Chat is the pick of those with previous race experience but the level he sets is not very high. With that in mind, preference is for PERFECT OUTING, who is a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Fourpenny Lane and the Listed-placed Graphic Guest. Lost Empire may need further than this in time but he merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Outing 2nd Chairlift Chat 3rd Lost Empire

Despite struggling in the Spring Cup here two starts ago, WAFY's efforts either side of that give hope of a leading performance off a handy-looking rating, and the return to a mile is a positive. Qaysar has been in good form of late and returns to a mile following a narrow defeat over 7f at Sandown last time, while My Top Hat and course-and-distance winner Ragstone View are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wafy 2nd Qaysar 3rd Ragstone View

SPACE ACE has looked a useful youngster so far and, having opened her account on her first try over seven furlongs at Lingfield last time, she could have more to come here for a team in decent form. Danny Ocean gives the owners a useful second hand and was much improved when runner-up in a similar contest at Leicester, while Divine Covey has looked a good prospect, especially when an encouraging second at Doncaster most recently.
Prediction : 1st Space Ace 2nd Divine Covey 3rd Danny Ocean

TAVUS is dangerously positioned at the foot of the handicap and Roger Charlton's Pour Moi gelding could be suited by the step up in trip following a more than respectable effort when sent off favourite over 1m2f at Windsor last time. Cherry Cola and Glutnforpunishment have both made the winners' enclosure on plenty of occasions this summer and have to be respected, with the consistent Hermocrates coming into calculations dropping back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Tavus 2nd Glutnforpunishment 3rd Cherry Cola

ALANDALOS wasn't beaten far when stepping up to this trip on her handicap debut at Sandown last month and the half-sister to Royal Ascot winner Afaak could build on that career-best to open her account following a fair 3lb rise. Ed Walker won this contest 12 months ago and his Jack D'Or has looked useful in his outings so far, while it is difficult to ignore Sashenka, who finished second on her first three racecourse outings, including over C&D in April to Irish Oaks winner Star Catcher, and opened her account at Lingfield when last sighted. Windsor winner Mandocello is also considered, along with Tammooz, who looks a handicap winner waiting to happen.
Prediction : 1st Alandalos 2nd Sashenka 3rd Mandocello
