UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

MAGIC DREAM did everything right bar getting her head in front on debut and, with improvement expected, this half-sister to Group 1 winner Naval Crown should be able to get off the mark at the second attempt. Mallavelly seemed a different proposition on her first start as a three-year-old when second here over 1m last month, and stepping up in trip looks like the correct move. A stablemate of the selection, Precious Jewel looks to be the pick of the newcomers, while Sea Just In Time is worth a second look for the in-form William Haggas team.
Prediction : 1st Magic Dream 2nd Mallavelly 3rd Precious Jewel

Trainer Charlie Appleby has landed this contest for the last two years and he looks to have another ideal candidate in the unbeaten ENDLESS VICTORY, who was made to work hard for his victory over C&D last month. The attitude he showed that day should stand him in good stead as he looks to see off Whip Cracker and Caviar Heights, who only had a short-head separating them when second and third respectively in the Feilden Stakes here recently. Sayedaty Sadaty showed up on well on his return in the Burradon Stakes and going up in trip may eke out further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Endless Victory 2nd Whip Cracker 3rd Sayedaty Sadaty

A taking winner over 6f at the Craven meeting here last month, DARK THIRTY should have no issues with going back up in trip and a 3lb rise for that success could prove quite lenient. Richard Hannon's admirable sort is narrowly preferred to Thunder Ball, who went well for a long way in the Spring Cup over 1m at Newbury before weakening into fourth late in the piece. Noble Dynasty shaped with promise on his return from a long absence at Meydan, while English Oak is another key player trying this trip for the first time since his debut last May. Completing the shortlist are Final Watch, Saint Lawrence and Zouky.
Prediction : 1st Dark Thirty 2nd Thunder Ball 3rd English Oak

A small but select field of improving three-year-olds possibly headed by INDIAN RUN, who took the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York last August before coming last in the Dewhurst Stakes, when the soft ground did not help his chances. If he has trained on, then he could prove too good for the likes of Boiling Point and Bold Style, who finished a good second and third respectively over this C&D last month and they will be looking to put their race-fitness to good use as they rise in class.
Prediction : 1st Indian Run 2nd Boiling Point 3rd Bold Style

Naqeeb is interesting if a gelding operation brings about some improvement, but he still needs to find more if he wants get the better of CASTLE WAY. Fourth at Meydan on his return in March before scoping badly after the race and given time to recover, he can hopefully recapture his better form, which includes three wins at Newmarket (two on this course). Time Lock is a classy C&D winner, but it is noted he is yet to win on his first start of the season.
Prediction : 1st Castle Way 2nd Time Lock 3rd Naqeeb

L'Ennemi seems worth a market check on his first start for Julie Camacho, with a mark of 81 looking workable after a good third at Haydock on his final start of 2023. He can go well, but Charlie Appleby has won three of the last seven runnings of this race and has a solid chance again with SILENT AGE. The selection threw away the race at the start at Newcastle but had won his previous two outings and may do better now in handicap company on his turf bow. The hat-trick seeking Rocking Tree may prove best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Silent Age 2nd LEnnemi 3rd Rocking Tree
