UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Anmaat struck by a head in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp when last seen in October to make it five wins out of his last six starts, which shows his rapid rise in the ranks and he is highly likely to be on the premises here. However, FRANCESCO CLEMENTE just shades the vote, as he was a mightily impressive when scoring by nine lengths on his handicap debut at short odds on the July Course here last summer and is the type his stable do very well with. Therefore, he is fancied to find the improvement needed to strike. Derby hero Adayar is a top-class performer and holds an obvious chance.
Prediction : 1st Francesco Clemente 2nd Anmaat 3rd Adayar

Cemhaan is rated 9lb higher than when winning this race last year and is of interest after undergoing a wind operation since finishing down the field at Doncaster on his last start, but preference is still for DUTY OF CARE, who has been in fine form on the all-weather. He ran well when second behind Bandinelli at Kempton last month and he goes off only 1lb higher in a first-time tongue-tie, so he could go close at a price. Halic, Roberto Escobarr and Firstman are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Duty Of Care 2nd Cemhaan 3rd Halic

FLOATING SPIRIT is unbeaten in two starts to date, the latest of those victories coming at Lingfield when scoring by three lengths. The daughter of Charm Spirit could have any amount of improvement in the locker on only her third start and, with the step up in trip possibly a positive move, she could prove the one to beat. The main danger comes in the shape of Queen Of Fairies, who got off the mark at the first time of asking when an easy winner at Southwell over a mile and has to be considered, along with Trust The Stars.
Prediction : 1st Floating Spirit 2nd Queen Of Fairies 3rd Trust The Stars

PROSPEROUS VOYAGE was highly tried last season and managed to make her mark at the highest level when taking the Falmouth in July. She was only denied by a neck in the 1000 Guineas on her return to action a year ago and the daughter of Zoffany is the one to beat. With The Moonlight is officially rated 1lb superior to the selection but could be vulnerable under a 3lb penalty for her Group 2 victories in Dubai earlier in the year. Life In Motion is an interesting raider from France, while there may be further progression to come from Al Husn.
Prediction : 1st Prosperous Voyage 2nd With The Moonlight 3rd Life In Motion

Tahiyra sets the standard based on her impressive defeat of Meditate in the Moyglare at the Curragh last September and that filly is her main market rival here. That said, it would be no surprise if she proved to be at her best later in the year and marginal preference is for MAMMAS GIRL. Richard Hannon's filly created a big impression when taking the Nell Gwyn over 7f here last month and the way she finished that day suggests that the extra distance should not be a problem. Remarquee also won her trial well, as the final winning margin of a neck is not an accurate reflection of her superiority on that occasion. Others to note are Dream Of Love, Lezoo and Powerdress.
Prediction : 1st Mammas Girl 2nd Tahiyra 3rd Meditate

The market will be a key guide but a chance can be taken with the 265,000gns purchase MASHADI, who is likely to be ready to go first time out given his connections. On Point is another to consider being a half-brother to a Group 3-winning juvenile last year in Fairy Cross. Jasour cost 85,000 pounds as a yearling and is from the family of Twilight Son, while Kylian and Rising Force are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Mashadi 2nd On Point 3rd Jasour

A decent two-year-old last year, who contested some valuable contests, HECTIC returned with a solid runner-up effort at Newbury last month. The step up to a mile can see him go one better on this occasion, with easy Epsom scorer Kadovar and recent C&D third Gulmarg looking best placed to chase him home. Legend Of Leros and Saxon King are not without chances either.
Prediction : 1st Hectic 2nd Kadovar 3rd Gulmarg

RATHGAR ended last season with a comfortable success at Goodwood and he looks just the type to improve over further, with a mark of 85 looking manageable on his handicap debut. Cool Party arrives in search of a hat-trick, so must enter calculations, along with Mindset, who has plenty of potential going up in trip. Narrowly denied on his return at Kempton last month, My Lion can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Rathgar 2nd Cool Party 3rd Mindset
