UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Things didn't quite go to plan for HURRICANE LANE last season but he remains an older horse with significant potential if Charlie Appleby can get him back on track. A triple Group 1 winner as a three-year-old, he is top-rated in this field, and it may be that Israr gives him most to think about. Last year's winner Max Vega is another to consider, along with Ascot Gold Cup second Mojo Star, who is surely being aimed towards another tilt at that contest.
Prediction : 1st Hurricane Lane 2nd Israr 3rd Mojo Star

SWINGALONG probably did a bit too much from the front when a respectable fourth in the Cheveley Park last September, but the way she stuck on was admirable and that form appeals as the best on offer. The only filly in the field to win at Group level, she can make her class count against impressive Yarmouth winner Bridestones and Magical Sunset, who could not have won any easier over C&D when last in action. Olivia Maralda is another with a high level of two-year-old form to her name, whereas debut winners Remarquee and Soul Sister need to step up in this company.
Prediction : 1st Swingalong 2nd Magical Sunset 3rd Bridestones

This race has been a springboard for quite a few top-class performers in recent years and CHALDEAN surely fits that mould after a highly successful two-year-old campaign. Similar to his father, Frankel, Andrew Balding's charge can take this en route to the Guineas next month, with Horris Hill winner Knight looking best placed to chase him home. Course scorer Isaac Shelby has plenty of ground to make up with the selection from the Dewhurst, while Charyn may improve for the rise in distance.
Prediction : 1st Chaldean 2nd Knight 3rd Charyn

The low-mileage LATTAM impressed when running on well to snatch victory in the Irish Lincolnshire and is an attractive proposition with ground conditions likely to suit. A 5lb rise is fair and he looks progressive enough to cope at this stage of his development. Alrehb is interesting after back-to-back successes on the all-weather this year. He is also on the upgrade and warrants serious consideration on his first try over a mile on turf. Aussie Banker and Bless Him are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lattam 2nd Alrehb 3rd Aussie Banker

Having won a Group 3 at Newmarket on Wednesday, Richard Hannon's string appear to be coming to the boil nicely, and GREATEST TIME can underline the strength in depth within the yard. The form of his debut run was boosted by the winner going close in the Feilden Stakes on Wednesday and the signs are highly encouraging for another bold showing. Cracksking went close on his recent introduction and rates the biggest threat, while Elraaed is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Greatest Time 2nd Cracksking 3rd Elraaed

The impeccably-bred ASTRODOME got going too late on his Doncaster introduction, but still offered plenty of encouragement with his finishing effort to make the frame. On that evidence, the Gosdens' son of Sea The Stars will relish the extra furlong and he can get off the mark. His stable is also represented by Port Jackson but a more appealing newcomer is the William Haggas-trained Galileo colt Klondike, who is from a top family and cost 600,000gns as a yearling. Yellow Star and Banderas are worth some thought too.
Prediction : 1st Astrodome 2nd Klondike 3rd Port Jackson

CHANTICO's stamina appeared stretched by the 1m3f trip at Kempton earlier in the month and this lightly-raced son of Kingman may regain the winning thread now eased in distance. Saturn Five didn't enjoy the best of passages when finishing down the field at Thurles in October and he may prove competitive for new connections here. Mustazeed enjoys testing underfoot conditions, as seen when runner-up at Doncaster last time, and he's another to note on his seasonal return.
Prediction : 1st Chantico 2nd Saturn Five 3rd Mustazeed
