UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

OTTOMAN COURT took a step in the right direction when chasing home the well-regarded Visinari in a novice event over 6f at Newmarket. The step up to this trip should unlock further improvement from Charlie Appleby's colt, who is taken to strike at the third attempt. Convict is expected to know his job first time out and is worth a market check, likewise Quadrilateral. Newmarket third Ziggle Pops is another stepping up from 6f to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ottoman Court 2nd Convict 3rd Ziggle Pops

BABA GHANOUJ was denied a clear run when going down by under a length in third over this trip at Newmarket, but can gain compensation off the same mark if granted a smoother passage on this occasion. Gin Palace returned to winning ways over this distance at Windsor and should go well again off a 3lb higher perch, while Medieval also commands respect after picking up the silver medal at Brighton last week.
Prediction : 1st Baba Ghanouj 2nd Gin Palace 3rd Medieval

WAR BRIGADE hinted his turn was fast approaching when touched off by a nose over 1m6f at Ripon and is fancied to go one better. The main danger may be James Tate's three-year-old Battle Of Wills, who has improved since being stepped up from a mile this season and could have further improvement in the pipeline over even longer distances. Emenem, who struck off 3lb lower at Sandown recently, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st War Brigade 2nd Battle Of Wills 3rd Emenem

Divine Spirit has been well beaten in Group 2s at Ascot and Newmarket the last twice, but is expected to improve on those efforts now eased into Listed company. However, AL RAYA finished comfortably ahead of her when fifth in the Queen Mary and rates the one to beat, having also performed with credit on both starts subsequently. Good Vibes is penalised for her Listed win at York in May but has place possibilities.
Prediction : 1st Al Raya 2nd Divine Spirit 3rd Good Vibes

POINT OF ORDER posted his best effort yet when finishing a neck second over 6f at Ffos Las and wouldn't need to find much improvement in order to go one better. The main danger may be Allez Sophia, who makes some appeal on her Bath second in a novice heat in June. Others to consider are recent Sandown scorer Charlemaine and Swinley, who was sent off favourite at Windsor last time.
Prediction : 1st Point of Order 2nd Allez Sophia 3rd Charlemaine

STAR IN THE MAKING shaped with an abundance of promise when second on debut over this trip at Windsor and is entitled to improve with the benefit of that outing under her belt. Similar sentiments are applicable to Kodiellen, who finished third first time out at Newmarket. Game And Set drops back from 7f after picking up the bronze medal at Ascot and could also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Star In The Making 2nd Kodiellen 3rd Game And Set

SAIKUNG appeared to have plenty in hand when striking at Nottingham and will take plenty of stopping again now turned out under a penalty. Amor Fati is a model of consistency and looks the one who could put up most resistance, having rattled the crossbar off this mark over 1m2f at Brighton last week. Baashiq switches surface after scoring over 1m at Kempton but is another to consider, with this longer trip a potential source of improvement.
Prediction : 1st Saikung 2nd Amor Fati 3rd Baashiq
