UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

MANIMOLE was an impressive 15-length winner over C&D last month and the second from that contest has subsequently won well herself. With that in mind, Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old should be hard to beat again, despite the step up in grade. Belle Of Annandale could prove to be the main threat following her success at Musselburgh, although Isabella Bee should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Manimole 2nd Belle Of Annandale 3rd Isabella Bee

NASSALAM caught the eye when staying on into fourth on his seasonal return in the Grand Sefton at Aintree three weeks ago and Gary Moore's gelding could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing under his belt. Inch House created a big impression when scoring over 2m7f here last month, although a 10lb rise for that success has to be a slight concern. Killer Kane edges out Quel Destin and Jay Jay Reilly to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Nassalam 2nd Inch House 3rd Killer Kane

MASACCIO accounted for subsequent winner Beat The Bat when successful on his hurdling debut at Chepstow and Alan King's gelding merits the utmost respect here, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Expensive point-to-point recruit Jingko Blue was a beaten odds-on favourite on his Rules debut at Warwick, but he was not disgraced on that occasion and should not be underestimated. Others to consider are Emailandy and Kayf Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Masaccio 2nd Jingko Blue 3rd Emailandy

A difficult puzzle to solve but a chance is taken on GET A TONIC, who returns to hurdles after running in novice chase company. Dan Skelton's mare arrives on her last winning mark and appears well treated if able to bounce back to form. Jet Powered looked an exciting prospect when getting of the mark at the first time of asking over hurdles, only to disappoint subsequently, and he is feared most on his handicap debut. Better can be expected of Uncle Bert after his early fall at Cheltenham.
Prediction : 1st Get A Tonic 2nd Jet Powered 3rd Uncle Bert

UNDER CONTROL is on a hat-trick after wins at Cheltenham and Sandown in April and should she return to the track in similar form, she will take plenty of beating. Nicky Henderson's filly was half a length in front of stablemate Iberico Lord, who gave the form a big boost when landing the Greatwood, at the Esher venue and more improvement is anticipated. Brentford Hope struck in bloodless fashion over C&D last month and the 11lb rise is warranted. Hansard heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Under Control 2nd Brentford Hope 3rd Hansard

STOLEN SILVER returned to action to run out an easy six-length victor in a class 2 event over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from taking this valuable prize too, with his stamina now proven. Complete Unknown, who chased home Gerri Colombe in a Grade 1 at the Grand National meeting back in the spring, just did enough in heavy ground at Newton Abbot on his comeback and has to be feared. So does Mahler Mission, who warmed up with an encouraging Carlisle second over an inadequate trip. Monbeg Genius' jumping let him down at Ascot but he is fancied to take a significant step forward.
Prediction : 1st Stolen Silver 2nd Complete Unknown 3rd Monbeg Genius

Master Chewy has taken really well to fences, almost completing an Aintree double (Real Stone back in fourth last time), and he could have a say after a further 6lb hike. However, the vote still goes to top-weight ELIXIR DE NUTZ, who lifted the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter after taking a big step forward from his seasonal reappearance, and a 5lb rise looks on the lenient side. Bollingerandkrug is in cracking form and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Elixir De Nutz 2nd Master Chewy 3rd Bollingerandkrug
