UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

YACOWLEF had shown promise in each of his three starts before getting off the mark in commanding fashion at Goodwood earlier in the month. This nursery looks like another good step in his progression before likely being put away for the winter, although the same can be said of Quantum Impact, who was a ready winner at Pontefract. Batal Dubai and The Big Board have the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Yacowlef 2nd Quantum Impact 3rd Batal Dubai

Successful at Leicester recently and narrowly denied on his debut over C&D, CARAGIO has made quite the impression since beginning his career last month. The step up to Group company looks well within his compass and he can see off the likes of Yarmouth winner Lord Of Biscay, and Grey's Monument, who arrives here on a hat-trick. Charlie Appleby has been dominant with his juveniles this season so impressive Sandown scorer Striking Star is a legitimate contender too.
Prediction : 1st Caragio 2nd Lord Of Biscay 3rd Striking Star

HAMISH has taken his form to a new level at the back end of this season, with a comfortable win in the Cumberland Lodge at Ascot following a gallant runner-up effort in the Irish St Leger, when beaten less than a length by superstar stayer Kyprios. This contest looks there for the taking and the only real threat may be Lone Eagle if he bounces back to the form of his Irish Derby second last season. Passion And Glory has a little to find but cannot be ruled out on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Hamish 2nd Lone Eagle 3rd Passion And Glory

MOCHI left a lasting impression when second on her introduction at Kempton and a reproduction of that effort could suffice in this contest. It would be no surprise if the daughter of Acclamation took a step forward and she gets the nod with the in-form Sean Levey on board. Corymbosa is a Frankel half-sister to Group 3 winner Aikhal and could mount a bold challenge on debut, with her stable companion Wodhooh completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mochi 2nd Corymbosa 3rd Wodhooh

Despite losing a shoe, SMALL OASIS gave a good account when third in the Oh So Sharp Stakes. The daughter of Sioux Nation, who has changed stables since, should appreciate ease underfoot and gets the nod to claim Listed glory. Tagline was fourth in that Newmarket Group 3 and is perhaps the most immediate danger, although Wyoming pulled clear with a smart rival at this venue last month and also commands consideration.
Prediction : 1st Small Oasis 2nd Tagline 3rd Wyoming

Mujtaba steps back up in trip following a creditable run as favourite in the Cambridgeshire but must shoulder top weight against some in-form and unexposed rivals. One who falls into the latter category is the grade-dropping MAGISTERIAL, who found himself outpaced in the Dante at York back in May. The son of Frankel has been gelded since and now sports first-time cheekpieces, so is fancied to bounce back on his handicap bow. Cambridgeshire third Dual Identity is just one other to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Magisterial 2nd Mujtaba 3rd Dual Identity

A wide-open contest in which preference is for NIETZSCHE. The Brian Ellison-trained gelding disappointed in a competitive class 2 at Nottingham but a drop in grade, combined with a shorter trip, could see him bounce back to form. He is rated 4lb higher than his last winning mark, which came over this trip at Catterick on his penultimate start, so another good showing may be on the cards. Perfect Myth has had a wind op and sports a first-time hood, and is feared most. Ffos Las scorer Pride Of Hawridge is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Nietzsche 2nd Perfect Myth 3rd Pride Of Hawridge
