UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

ANCIENT WISDOM was unfortunate to bump into two high-class rivals, including the subsequent Group 1 winner Rosallion, when filling third place in a Listed event over 7f at Ascot in July. The son of Dubawi is sure to relish this step up in trip and he looks to be the one to beat. However, Chief Little Rock is capable of giving the selection plenty to think about following his second in the Beresford at the Curragh last month. Arabic Legend will need to improve on his second at Salisbury last time but he cannot be discounted, while Per Contra and Orne are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Ancient Wisdom 2nd Chief Little Rock 3rd Arabic Legend

CITY OF TROY confirmed the promise of his debut success at the beginning of July with a six-length victory in the Superlative Stakes over 7f on the July Course here a couple of weeks later. Despite being off the track since then, the son of Justify is hard to oppose given the impression that he created on that occasion. Alyanaabi appeared to have plenty in hand when winning the Tattersalls Stakes over C&D last month, as he did not get a clear run, and he could prove to be the main threat, although Iberian should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st City Of Troy 2nd Alyanaabi 3rd Iberian

In a typically wide-open renewal, it might pay to take a chance on JESSE EVANS. Noel Meade's gelding travelled strongly into contention in the Irish equivalent last month before weakening late on. That came on soft ground, however, and he could find a greater finishing effort now returned to a sounder surface. Pied Piper looks handicapped to go well following his recent spin at Killarney, while The Shunter, who wasn't disgraced over an inadequate extended 1m4f at Gowran last time, could also feature. Others to note include Vino Victrix, M C Muldoon, Grand Providence and Aztec Empire.
Prediction : 1st Jesse Evans 2nd Pied Piper 3rd The Shunter

Listed winner ARABIAN CROWN has improved with each run and looks more than capable of landing a hat-trick now entering Group company. Dambuster was value for further than the winning margin at Sandown last month suggests and Andrew Balding's colt isn't taken lightly on this only his second appearance. Gasper De Lemos took a big leap forward when landing a Curragh maiden last time and, similar to his aforementioned rivals, he is also open to improvement now up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Arabian Crown 2nd Dambuster 3rd Gasper De Lemos

KNIGHT was only beaten a head when second to Chindit in a high-class Listed race at Sandown last month and a reproduction of that level of form would give the son of Mehmas a big chance here. Raadobarg was a place behind the selection on that occasion and he could give him plenty to think about once more. Dubai Future can go well when fresh and he edges out his fellow Godolphin representative Highland Avenue to be the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Knight 2nd Raadobarg 3rd Dubai Future

THE CAMDEN COLT was only caught on the line when second in a similar event over a mile here last month and the drop in trip could see him last home this time. Kingdom Of Riches struggled in a Listed race last time but his previous form gives him a big chance at this level, while James's Delight has to be of some interest following his encouraging effort in a valuable sales race in Ireland a month ago.
Prediction : 1st The Camden Colt 2nd Kingdom Of Riches 3rd Jamess Delight

Perdika is bound to be popular following her second in the Prix de l'Abbaye but she was favoured by the rail draw on that occasion and it may be best to take that form with a pinch of salt. With that in mind, preference is for FAST RESPONSE, who has filled second place on her last two starts at this level and on both of those occasions she only found a colt too good. Back against her own sex, the four-year-old is taken to go one better. Funny Story and Secret Angel can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Fast Response 2nd Perdika 3rd Funny Story
