UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

This can go the way of THE CARPENTER, who won with a bit more in hand than the winning margin suggests at Exeter last month. The step up in trip should be right up his street and he can see off the likes of Fontwell winner Sound And Fury and Iliko D'olivate, who is better than what he showed at Ascot last time out.
Prediction : 1st The Carpenter 2nd Sound And Fury 3rd Iliko Dolivate

It is difficult to look past MANOTHEPEOPLE, who is unbeaten over fences but has not been in action since early December. Fergal O'Brien's charge has won his last four under rules and this looks like another ideal opportunity to continue the winning streak. A winner at Leicester on his penultimate start, Our Jet is interesting stepping up in trip, while Bridge North may benefit from a switch to the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Manothepeople 2nd Our Jet 3rd Bridge North

DR T J ECKLEBURG has shown more than enough on both starts this season to suggest that he can return to winning ways, especially with his stable in such excellent form. The ground should be a help as well and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of handicap debutant Arqoob, and Russian Ruler, who looked booked for second last time out when falling at the last over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Dr T J Eckleburg 2nd Arqoob 3rd Russian Ruler

Zanza drops in grade having finished fourth in the Greatwood Gold Cup here earlier this month and the track specialist has to enter calculations on his return to timber. However, a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop LOUP DE MAULDE continuing his excellent run of form after his recent victory at Warwick. Kilbeg King can give the selection most to think about stepping up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Loup De Maulde 2nd Kilbeg King 3rd Zanza

The fact that Enzo D'Airy retains the same mark having filled the runner-up spot over an extended 2m5f at Wetherby earlier this month must make the nine-year-old of interest, especially with the winner of that contest scoring again earlier this week, but preference lies with FIVE STAR GETAWAY. Christian Williams' charge drops in class following a recent second over 2m4f at Newcastle last month and is entitled to improve here back up in distance, while Precious Eleanor completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Five Star Getaway 2nd Enzo DAiry 3rd Precious Eleanor

SOME SCOPE has looked outpaced on all of his starts over shorter, but he should relish the step up to 3m on his handicap bow and the former point-to-point winner is fancied to find significant improvement. Island Run had the beating of Ballymagroarty Boy (second) when the pair met at Wincanton 15 days ago, but it would be no surprise if he reversed that form on revised terms, with the return to a left-handed track an added bonus. Others to note include Shot Boii, Ballycamus and Ernest Gray.
Prediction : 1st Some Scope 2nd Ballymagroarty Boy 3rd Island Run

Lift Me Up arrives having landed a hat-trick in the point-to-point sphere, but, though he demands respect, CARYTO DES BROSSES edges the vote. David Kemp's charge defied a 311-day absence when winning at Southwell 18 days ago and he could prove difficult to beat if running to a similar level here. Drop Flight and From The Heart can battle it out for third.
Prediction : 1st Caryto Des Brosses 2nd Lift Me Up 3rd Drop Flight
