UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

MAWKEB offered more encouragement when staying on into third over 1m2f at Nottingham and a 2lb drop in the ratings combined with a stiffer test may be enough to see Mick Appleby's gelding return to winning ways. Trojan Truth was somewhat underwhelming at the same venue a few days later, but he would hold leading claims on previous form and it's too soon to be writing him off. Mrembo could have a say too.
Prediction : 1st Mawkeb 2nd Trojan Truth 3rd Mrembo

DELICACY only gave way inside the final furlong when fifth on her debut at Kempton and Richard Hannon's filly could put that experience to good use to gain a breakthrough success. Crooked Crown won with something in hand at Chepstow and she isn't taken lightly, despite conceding weight all round. Woodhay Wonder wasn't that far behind the selection on her introduction and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Delicacy 2nd Crooked Crown 3rd Woodhay Wonder

Pink Satin made the perfect start to her career when triumphing at Windsor and the daughter of Churchill must warrant consideration. She may, however, struggle to concede 6lb to LADY OF LEISURE. Andrew Balding's filly posted a second-placed finish on her debut at Haydock and is taken to build on that. Newcomer Balletic is a potential fly in the ointment and any market support is worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Lady Of Leisure 2nd Pink Satin 3rd Balletic

VAYNOR may well be at his best over further but his most recent effort for third at Goodwood was highly encouraging and conditions should be in his favour as he looks to bounce back to winning ways. Millions Memories did it well at Salisbury last time out and he can give the selection the most to think about, although the usually consistent Greystoke can't be dismissed lightly.
Prediction : 1st Vaynor 2nd Millions Memories 3rd Greystoke

AURORA DAWN has done very well since switching to the turf and dropping back in trip should suit, having gone close at Haydock over a mile last month. The daughter of Awtaad still looks to be on a workable mark and she is narrowly preferred to Dream Of Mischief, who bounced back to form with a promising second at Goodwood. Big R and Saturnalia are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Aurora Dawn 2nd Dream Of Mischief 3rd Big R

Ring of Light completed an all-weather hat-trick last autumn, but he is yet to win on the grass and may have to chase home WADI BANI here. Seamus Durack's three-year-old ran on into second at Doncaster after finding himself short of room and, barring similar mishaps, he can go one better. Al Motasim could be of interest in first-time cheekpieces, with Starlight Nation also in the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Wadi Bani 2nd Ring of Light 3rd Al Motasim

Trainer Rod Millman won this last year and Oisin Murphy keeps his partnership with Ignac Lamar intact after their Leicester third, while Hurt You Never has won three on the bounce and warrants plenty of respect, despite an added 7lb and a rise in class. JAX EDGE appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring at Chepstow, though, and a 6lb hike may not stop her from following up.
Prediction : 1st Jax Edge 2nd Hurt You Never 3rd Ignac Lamar
