UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

SAY HELLO made a mockery of her opening mark when bolting up over C&D eight days ago. First-time blinkers were reported to be a key factor in her success, so it's possible that she could defy a hefty 13lb hike in the retained headgear. Tierney sprung a surprise at Haydock and can provide stiff opposition to the selection from 7lb higher, along with Woodhay Wonder, who ought to fare better in nurseries having finished third of four in the Duchess Of Cambridge. Hat-trick seeker Snafiya is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Say Hello 2nd Tierney 3rd Woodhay Wonder

Having chased home two quality rivals in Emily Dickinson and Rosscarbery in the Curragh Cup a fortnight ago, AMUSEMENT drops in class and is expected to prove a cut above these rivals. Sea The Stars filly Sweet Memories, a half-sister to Group 1 winner Cursory Glance, can improve on her Newbury novice success to play a leading role for last year's winning yard. Her stablemate Spring Fever should not be underestimated either, though the Charlie Appleby-trained Sunset Point is perhaps a stronger contender.
Prediction : 1st Amusement 2nd Sweet Memories 3rd Sunset Point

Reina Del Mar has been in fine fettle here and must enter calculations once again, but the vote goes to INTINSO. The son of Siyouni kept on well to reach the frame at Chelmsford last time out, just behind a subsequent winner, and looks set to relish a further hike in trip so is fancied to step forward. Toshizou posted a creditable effort in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock and makes obvious appeal down in class.
Prediction : 1st Intinso 2nd Reina Del Mar 3rd Toshizou

UPSCALE displayed plenty of promise when finishing a close second on debut over C&D and the well-bred daughter of Kingman could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Bourgeoisie confirmed the encouraging signs she showed on her racecourse bow when narrowly denied at Newbury and could pose the biggest threat to the selection. Zenjabeela is another with valid form claims, while Seaward is a newcomer to note having cost 460,000 euros as a yearling.
Prediction : 1st Upscale 2nd Bourgeoisie 3rd Zenjabeela

The unexposed KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS did not appear to relish the step up to a mile at Pontefract last time but his previous form suggests that he could go well back at 7f here. Kiaraad was second to the selection on debut and has to be of some interest on his handicap bow. Hectic should be capable of going well off his current mark, while Out Of Shadows and Gulmarg complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kentucky Bluegrass 2nd Kiaraad 3rd Hectic

Soul Seeker has to be respected following his win at York a week ago but a 4lb rise will make life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for HAN SOLO BERGER, who was only beaten a nose over C&D last Saturday and is just 2lb higher in the ratings now. Straits Of Moyle edges out Thismydream to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Han Solo Berger 2nd Soul Seeker 3rd Straits Of Moyle
