UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

After strolling home in the Chester Vase, Arrest struggled to make an impact on faster ground in both the Derby and the King Edward VII, but the son of Frankel could bounce back with the weather forecast in his favour. Kemari returned to winning ways in the Fred Archer at Newmarket, but he isn't absolutely certain to back that performance up and the vote goes to KLONDIKE. William Haggas' colt wasn't best positioned to challenge in the Bahrain Trophy following a slow start and he remains capable of much better.
Prediction : 1st Klondike 2nd Arrest 3rd Kemari

SWIFT ASSET has been in fine fettle on his most recent outings, including when scoring at Bath on his penultimate start, and Richard Hannon's colt warrants plenty of respect in his bid for a third career victory. Rod Millman boasts two solid chances with Woolhampton, a winner at Ascot last time, and Four Adaay, who has the services of Oisin Murphy in the saddle once again. Others to note include Harry Brown and Katey Kontent.
Prediction : 1st Swift Asset 2nd Woolhampton 3rd Four Adaay

CLASSIC took the step forward required to get his head back in front at Sandown and the form of that contest has worked out nicely, with the runner-up Novus improving in two subsequent outings at Glorious Goodwood, and the fifth winning comfortably at Newmarket last week. A 2lb rise may prove to be lenient and he gets the vote at the expense of Open Mind, who placed at Chelmsford last time, and Top Secret.
Prediction : 1st Classic 2nd Open Mind 3rd Top Secret

Chindit hit the woodwork in the Lockinge before going on to finish a creditable sixth in the Queen Anne. Those efforts set a clear form standard, but he was a well-held eighth in this last year and the winner JUMBY is preferred. The son of New Bay warmed up for his title defence with a good second in the Criterion at Newmarket (Pogo just behind in third), and this has likely been the target all along. The latter also merits respect, along with Marbaan, who arrives on the back of a solid third in the Lennox.
Prediction : 1st Jumby 2nd Chindit 3rd Pogo

Ralph Beckett has been in irresistible form recently and he could continue that trend with FARIZIO. By Dubawi out of a Frankel mare, there is enough to suggest this initial test of stamina will suit, for all that he is likely to come into his own over further. Navy Jack (second) had the benefit of previous experience when finishing ahead of Highland Spring (fourth) at Sandown, but William Haggas' colt could reverse that form with improvement on the cards. Fire Demon is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Farizio 2nd Highland Spring 3rd Navy Jack

This represents a significant drop in class for DUBAI WELCOME and this still low-mileage gelding is fancied to justify why Godolphin are persevering with him at the age of six. Stepping back from 1m6f could also be key to his chance on his return and a breakthrough success on turf could be imminent for the son of Dubawi. There may also be more to come from Lion Kingdom and Scintillante, who head the list of dangers.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Welcome 2nd Lion Kingdom 3rd Scintillante

TONY MONTANA had two and a half lengths to spare over Cracksking when they met over C&D last month and having subsequently run with credit in a deeper race at Glorious Goodwood, he can confirm the form and looks the one to be with at this level. Greek Order has scope to improve further over this distance and also commands respect, while Bleak is another strong contender from a top yard to seriously consider.
Prediction : 1st Tony Montana 2nd Cracksking 3rd Greek Order
