UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

INQUISITIVELY has made a very pleasing start to his career in his three runs to date and is open to further improvement after a commanding success in Listed company over 5f at York last time. Kevin Philippart De Foy's charge is fancied to succeed at the main expense of Flora Of Bermuda, who chased Big Evs home in the Flying Childers at Doncaster and is feared most. Midnight Affair and Asean should also be noted.
Prediction : 1st Inquisitively 2nd Flora Of Bermuda 3rd Midnight Affair

SKELLET shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking last time over 7f at Salisbury in a race that is starting to work out well and she could be up to this tougher assignment. Ralph Beckett's charge raced prominently before quickening nicely on that occasion and plenty of improvement can be expected. Similar comments apply to Dance Sequence, who won on her racecourse debut on the July course, while Chic Colombine hasn't tasted defeat since June and she holds solid claims.
Prediction : 1st Skellet 2nd Dance Sequence 3rd Chic Colombine

AUDIENCE has been narrowly denied when finishing second on each of his last two starts and he looks primed to go one better on this occasion. Shouldvebeenaring appears to be the biggest danger to the selection after a very good third in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp last Sunday and he may benefit from having a good pace to aim at here. Chindit and Matilda Picotte are others with strong form claims.
Prediction : 1st Audience 2nd Shouldvebeenaring 3rd Chindit

ALSAKIB improved for the step up to this distance when scoring comfortably at Ascot last month, and there should be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Kingman. A hefty 9lb rise will make life tougher, but he may have just too much for the hat-trick-seeking Humanity and Lucky Fifteen, who will appreciate a return to a sounder surface and is better than what he showed at Goodwood last time out. Irish raider Denmark and easy Haydock winner Shadow Dance complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Alsakib 2nd Humanity 3rd Lucky Fifteen

SHUWARI lost her unbeaten record in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at this venue last time, where she bumped into a classy rival. She shaped on that occasion as if this step up to a mile could bring out more improvement. Aidan O'Brien last won this race in 2016 with Rhododendron and he saddles Ylang Ylang, who goes to battle with the selection again after finishing third in the Rockfel. She should enjoy this extra yardage, but the daughter of Frankel may still struggle to reverse the form. Classical Song also commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Shuwari 2nd Ylang Ylang 3rd Classical Song

Trainer Charlie Appleby landed this contest last year with a newcomer and he can repeat the feat with DEVOTED QUEEN, a well-bred daughter of Kingman who is a half-sister to One Ruler, a Group 3 winner here as a two-year-old. By Siyouni, who has been in high demand of late, Topanga is a very interesting newcomer for the Andrew Balding stable, while Dilara and So Logical are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Devoted Queen 2nd Topanga 3rd So Logical

Despite taking a keen hold on her debut at Lingfield in August, GET THE MUSIC ON shaped with abundant promise when keeping on to finish second and, with improvement expected, she can get off the mark. A well-bred daughter of Kodiac, Enchanted Life cost a pretty penny at the sales and must enter calculations, while fellow debutant Glimpsed is likely to need further in time being a half-sister to Prix Royal-Oak winner Scope.
Prediction : 1st Get The Music On 2nd Enchanted Life 3rd Glimpsed

A tentative vote goes to UNLESS, who may have disappointed in Group 2 company last time out but is better judged on her form previous to that, including when fourth in the Sandringham and winning a Listed contest at the Curragh in August. Aidan O'Brien's filly is preferred to Sea The Lady, who has performed well in defeat in Group 1 races. Novus has been in consistent form of late and is of interest, while the unexposed Silver Lady cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Unless 2nd Sea The Lady 3rd Novus
