UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

ORTELIUS made a very pleasing start to his career when just touched off over 1m at the Curragh and plenty of improvement can be expected. This son of Justify might have shed the maiden tag at the first time of asking had he been more alert at the start and he is likely to be more streetwise here for powerful connections. Wafei is feared most after just a short-head defeat on his racecourse debut over 1m at Haydock, while Bellum Justum heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ortelius 2nd Wafei 3rd Bellum Justum

I'm Puzzled made a mockery of his mark when bolting up in a small-field contest over 1m at Sandown last time, and he appears likely to be thereabouts. However, he has been raised 6lb for that success so has more on his plate, and the nod goes to BLOWN AWAY. John and Thady Gosden's charge won well despite running green in the closing stages over 1m at Chelmsford last time and he is likely to continue his upward trajectory on his nursery bow. The reopposing Stormy Waves (second) is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Blown Away 2nd Im Puzzled 3rd Stormy Waves

Frankness arrives here in good form after running on strongly to score over 6f at Salisbury last time, and he looks primed to offer another bold bid. However, he must defy a 4lb rise in the ratings and the reopposing Al Simmo (second) is on 2lb better terms with that rival for a one-length defeat. Therefore, slight preference is for GALE FORCE MAYA, who appears to be on an attractive mark following her disappointing effort in a valuable heritage handicap at York last time.
Prediction : 1st Gale Force Maya 2nd Al Simmo 3rd Frankness

The Charlie Appleby team have won this contest in two of the last three years, and they look to have another ideal candidate in LEGEND OF TIME. The son of Sea The Stars did well to get his head in front on debut at Haydock, and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him. Military made a striking impression on his fist outing at Naas and must enter calculations, along with Alyanaabi and Solario Stakes runner-up Inishfallen.
Prediction : 1st Legend Of Time 2nd Military 3rd Inishfallen

An impressive winner on his return in a conditions race at Salisbury recently, last year's Ebor victor TRAWLERMAN sets a lofty standard on form and he can take this en route to another possible tilt at the Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Shandoz remains relatively unexposed over such distances and has the potential to improve, while Enemy is winless since January but cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Trawlerman 2nd Shandoz 3rd Enemy

MARHABA THE CHAMP was value for more than the winning margin when scoring on his first go over this distance at York last time out, and he can overcome the burden of top weight to follow up under Ryan Moore. Kevin Ryan's charge is preferred to Kempton scorer Tenerife Sunshine and Spectacular Style, who could not have done it any easier at Hamilton and now makes his handicap debut. Splendent and Victory Dance have the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Marhaba The Champ 2nd Tenerife Sunshine 3rd Spectacular Style

VICTORIA FALLS arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up her success on the July course at Thirsk last week. The four-year-old has to carry a 5lb penalty, but she may prove difficult to stop based on her current form. Ranger Thunderbolt shaped as though the return to a mile would aid his cause when runner-up at Newbury last time. Ventura Rascal, Restrict and Kimifive appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Victoria Falls 2nd Ranger Thunderbolt 3rd Ventura Rascal

PJANOO scored on his penultimate start at Windsor before following that up with a solid fourth at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Richard Spencer's colt to get his head back in front. His stable companion The City's Phantom will go well if able to replicate his third in a valuable handicap at Epsom in June, while a set of blinkers may see Promoter in a better light.
Prediction : 1st Pjanoo 2nd The Citys Phantom 3rd Promoter
