UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Second on his Kempton debut last month, Haya Taal appeals as a likely improver and must go on the shortlist. Al Shabab ought to appreciate further in time but it would be dangerous to underestimate one from the Andrew Balding yard, while market support for Port Hedland would be noteworthy. However, a tentative vote goes to AL WAASL, who is a well-related son of Showcasing.
Prediction : 1st Al Waasl 2nd Haya Taal 3rd Al Shabab

MAPMAKER failed to make an impact when finishing down the field in the Albany last month, but Darryll Holland's filly could take all the beating returned to calmer waters. Perfect Spring paid the price after being taken on for the lead throughout at Lingfield last time but she remains of interest. Archie Watson often does well in these types of contests and Indication Dream is worth noting with that in mind.
Prediction : 1st Mapmaker 2nd Perfect Spring 3rd Indication Dream

LOST IN TIME has found marked improvement since being sent over this distance earlier in the month. Runner-up at Lingfield two starts ago before bolting up at Yarmouth five days later, Dean Ivory's gelding appeals as the one to beat under a penalty. Recent Brighton-scorer Gallant Lion merits respect at the foot of the weights, while it would be no surprise were So Farhh So Good to go well on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Lost In Time 2nd Gallant Lion 3rd So Farhh So Good

TONY MONTANA was pitched into the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot following a pair of solid efforts, including when third here in May, and this appears to be a solid opportunity for the son of Kingman to shed the maiden tag. Fleet Admiral stepped forward when fourth at Leicester last month, but going up in trip may not be the right move at this stage of his career, so the main threat may come from Cracksking, who appeals as the type to progress with more experience under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Tony Montana 2nd Cracksking 3rd Fleet Admiral

STONKING was a beaten favourite when making his handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month, finishing one place ahead of Atalanta Breeze, but Heather Main's gelding is likely to have benefited from that outing and the slight drop back in trip may also aid his cause. Kyle Of Lochalsh is open to improvement following his fourth at Windsor with a tongue-tie applied for the first time, while others to note are Royal Athena and Dancing Cloud.
Prediction : 1st Stonking 2nd Kyle Of Lochalsh 3rd Royal Athena

SYMBOL OF HOPE has been in fine fettle and was just denied a third victory of the season when beaten by a nose here over 5f last Thursday. The five-year-old is yet to win over 6f, but the manner of that performance suggested it is worth another try, especially being 1lb lower. McCauley's Tavern is tried in a first-time tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied, which might help to make a difference, while The Cruising Lord and Libra Tiger appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Symbol of Hope 2nd McCauleys Tavern 3rd The Cruising Lord
