UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Few can be ruled out in this race and the focus turns to MILITRY DECORATION, who travelled strongly when a close second at Goodwood on his latest start. Eton Blue has the services of leading apprentice Harry Davies and can produce a bold showing, while Wonder Starelzaam didn't get the rub of the green at Sandown last time and shouldn't be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Militry Decoration 2nd Eton Blue 3rd Wonder Starelzaam

A TASTE OF HONEY made an encouraging start to her career when runner-up at Doncaster earlier this month and the daughter of Harry Angel can land the spoils. Puntarelle shaped better than the result suggests in a Goodwood maiden on her debut and is a likely improver, while Woolhampton, who was second over C&D last time, is also noted along with Richard Hannon's Tessa.
Prediction : 1st A Taste Of Honey 2nd Puntarelle 3rd Woolhampton

Plenty of newcomers line up in this race and the market should prove a useful guide, with Richard Hughes' Sparkling Beauty the most eye-catching of those hitting the track for the first time. However, LIFTOFF looks the type to improve plenty from her recent debut run at Doncaster and gets the vote. Zephina wasn't beaten far when fourth at Haydock last time and can also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Liftoff 2nd Sparkling Beauty 3rd Zephina

FRONTISPIECE found only one too strong on his return from a 210-day layoff, staying on strongly over an inadequate 1m2f in April. The son of Shamardal was raised 4lb to 81 for that effort but, given the winner now boasts a rating of 97, it may prove lenient. Grand Scheme arrives in search of a hat-trick and he commands respect, while Zain Nights, who filled the runner-up spot on his handicap debut last month, is another to consider. Scarlet Dragon drops markedly in class and he shouldn't be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Frontispiece 2nd Grand Scheme 3rd Zain Nights

A half-brother to the talented Pyledriver, STOCKPYLE produced a career-best effort when second at Sandown earlier this month. The son of Oasis Dream remains unexposed and, with further improvement likely, he can shed his maiden tag. Bell Shot drops in class following a recent pipe-opener at Newmarket and he ought to remain competitive along with Flag High, who may not be far away if learning to settle.
Prediction : 1st Stockpyle 2nd Bell Shot 3rd Flag High

TOUCHWOOD has been knocking on the door in stronger company and this ease in class can see him regain the winning thread. Alablaq goes back up in trip following a string of solid efforts over 6f and he is unlikely to be far away, while Dourado and Afta Party also arrive on the back of fine performances and add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Touchwood 2nd Alablaq 3rd Dourado

RAINBOW MIRAGE has been running consistently well for a number of months and won gamely on quick ground at Leicester two starts ago. She certainly looks capable of scoring off this 4lb higher mark, off which she finished runner-up at Kempton latest, and gets the nod. Libertus went close on his handicap debut at Lingfield and could be in the mix again, while Vape runs his race more often than not.
Prediction : 1st Rainbow Mirage 2nd Libertus 3rd Vape
