UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Coppice had a legitimate excuse (saddle slipped) when she failed to give her running in the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown and many will be willing to put that run aside with Frankie Dettori back in the saddle. However, she didn't appear to be entirely happy when she faded into fifth in the Falmouth on the July Course on her previous outing and, with that in mind, Atalanta third POTAPOVA looks a more appealing option, especially with her stable in resurgent form. Queen For You and Astral Beau are a couple of other notable contenders.
Prediction : 1st Potapova 2nd Coppice 3rd Queen For You

This has undoubtedly been a stellar season for Karl Burke and further Group-race success could be imminent if NOVAKAI runs anywhere near the level that saw her finish a close second in the Fillies' Mile here last October. Having shown her stamina over 1m4f with a victory in the Aphrodite on the July Course on her penultimate start, Burke's filly has proven credentials for a race of this nature and another big run is expected. Running Lion also has some high-class form to her name, but she has something to prove on her first try beyond 1m2f. Therefore, the less exposed three-year-olds Sweet Memories and Sea Theme may be more potent threats.
Prediction : 1st Novakai 2nd Sweet Memories 3rd Sea Theme

Far from disgraced when a very close third in the Group 3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp, ALSHINFARAH is fancied to appreciate dropping back to this trip and can resume winning ways, having started her career with victories at Doncaster and Haydock. Obviously, this is a much stiffer test and the likes of the unbeaten Shuwari, along with the progressive Carla's Way, present the selection with some serious competition. John and Thady Gosden's Spiritual completes the shortlist after an impressive debut win at Leicester.
Prediction : 1st Alshinfarah 2nd Shuwari 3rd Carlas Way

MALJOOM is a fascinating contender on his return from a long layoff. William Haggas' colt was unlucky when denied a clear run in the 2022 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, eventually storming home to finish a close-up fourth. He would take some stopping on that level of performance so his fitness might be worth chancing. Chindit completed a quickfire double when hanging on to defy top weight in a Listed event at Sandown last week and must enter calculations, while last year's winner Mutasaabeq always merits respect at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Maljoom 2nd Chindit 3rd Mutasaabeq

Zain Blue has arguably achieved the most of these on his two runner-up efforts to date and is likely to be involved in the shake-up once more. Nevertheless, ACCUMULATE did well to finish second from a poor early position on his debut at Ascot and, with any improvement, the Calyx colt may go one place better in this contest. Al Shabab Storm is another to consider after an encouraging opening bid at Leicester, while Symbol Of Power features among a clutch of interesting newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Accumulate 2nd Zain Blue 3rd Al Shabab Storm

BROADWAY ACT has posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat when second on the July Course and a similar level of performance could be enough to shed his maiden tag at the third time of asking. Psalm, a 300,000gns purchase, must merit respect on his debut and the Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Sea The Stars needs monitoring in the market. Placo and Ten Bob Tony have displayed enough ability to suggest that they can get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Broadway Act 2nd Psalm 3rd Placo

NEW LONDON weakened into fifth in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin in August, but the Charlie Appleby stable is in better form now and, dropped into Listed class, he can belatedly get off the mark for the season. Lion's Pride is less exposed after only three starts, including a Kempton success and a one-length third behind Candleford at Windsor following a slow start, and he could be a serious danger. Blanchland was second in the Zetland Stakes last year, but struggled in the Feilden Stakes on his only start this campaign.
Prediction : 1st New London 2nd Lions Pride 3rd Blanchland

Turntable is a standing dish in this race after winning it off a rating of 81 in 2021 and off 86 last year, but he is 2lb higher now and is yet to place since joining the Harry Eustace yard. The lightly-raced REAL GAIN is preferred, despite losing his unbeaten record on his handicap debut, when running on late over a mile at York. The added furlong may see him back to winning ways here, though Sudden Ambush could also bounce back to his best if encountering a quicker surface.
Prediction : 1st Real Gain 2nd Sudden Ambush 3rd Turntable
