UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

COLD FRONT comes from a family his trainer William Haggas knows very well, with his dam a half-sister to the producer of dual Foret heroine One Master, and conditions are unlikely to phase his colt, being a son of Lope De Vega. Iron Heart is a well-related colt, being out of an Albany winner, and warrants plenty of respect along with Bullfinch, a son of Kodiac out of a Pretty Polly winner, and Motamayiz, a half-sister to the Group 1-placed Enbihaar.
Prediction : 1st Cold Front 2nd Iron Heart 3rd Bullfinch

BRIGHT EYED EAGLE ran with a fair amount of promise on his racecourse bow at Redcar to finish second behind a rival who had experience over him. The son of Gleneagles is entitled to step forward for the extra furlong and could prove too strong for the opposition. Sea Voice carries a penalty for winning over 7f at Chepstow last month but did shape as though he would relish this extra furlong when powering home that day, while Whisper Not will have learnt plenty from his first outing at Chelmsford eight days ago.
Prediction : 1st Bright Eyed Eagle 2nd Sea Voice 3rd Whisper Not

ACQUITTED sets a decent standard having followed up his novice victory at Kempton with a good fourth in a C&D conditions event last month. The son of Night Of Thunder gives 6lb to all of his rivals but, based on the form achieved by those in opposition with experience, he can prove capable of a second career success. Mishriff could take a step forward from his first outing at Yarmouth while, of the newcomers, Waleydd and Big Wing boast decent pedigrees and represent leading stables.
Prediction : 1st Acquitted 2nd Mishriff 3rd Waleydd

Lady Adelaide was deemed good enough to run in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket when last seen in May and could have benefitted plenty from a 173-day break, while Escape The City takes a big drop in class and is expected to be more competitive. Soft ground seems likely and that wouldn't be an issue for Andrew Balding's I'M AVAILABLE. Second at Epsom on heavy last month, she should have come on for that first run in three months and is expected to enjoy this extra yardage.
Prediction : 1st Im Available 2nd Lady Adelaide 3rd Escape The City

HAMISH has been mightily impressive at York the last twice, landing the Melrose in August before boosting his pot with an even easier success over the same distance a fortnight ago. William Haggas' charge made a mockery of that 6lb rise, giving the impression that Group races would be on the agenda in 2020, and should be suited by this ground once more. Trueshan shaped like an extra couple of furlongs wouldn't be an issue when sauntering home at Newmarket in the Old Rowley Cup, while Cesarewitch third Summer Moon should help to give the form of this contest a solid outlook.
Prediction : 1st Hamish 2nd Trueshan 3rd Summer Moon

ZEYZOUN made light work of the Epsom mud last time and, racing once again over his optimum trip of 7f, could have another victory up his sleeve off a 4lb higher mark. Dragons Tail was back to something like his best when only beaten a neck at Chester, while Dance Diva and Dream World have been running well of late and can't be ignored. Foxy Femme and John Betjeman both picked up a silver medal when last sighted and are others with claims.
Prediction : 1st Zeyzoun 2nd Dragons Tail 3rd Dance Diva

Smokey Lane struck while the iron was hot to score twice in two days earlier this month and, with soft ground in his favour, he has to be respected in search of a hat-trick. Atalanta's Boy was another to thrive in the mud when getting the better of the consistent Sweet Pursuit (second) to make it three wins in four at Goodwood last month and David Menuisier's progressive four-year-old has to be taken seriously. William Buick catches the eye aboard the useful Whelans Way, but a chance is taken on TERUNTUM STAR, who is often seen at his best at this time of the year and is interesting now up to his preferred 6f following an encouraging run in the Catterick Dash.
Prediction : 1st Teruntum Star 2nd Atalantas Boy 3rd Smokey Lane

MR SMITH followed up a raiding success at Carlisle in the summer with back-to-back emphatic victories over hurdles in Ireland and Charles Byrnes' thriving eight-year-old is hard to oppose looking to win another pot. Cristal Spirit was only beaten half a length by the progressive stayer Land Of Oz last month and is dangerous off a 1lb higher rating, while the consistent Colwood and Pumblechook finished close together at Southwell last time.
Prediction : 1st Mr Smith 2nd Cristal Spirit 3rd Pumblechook
