UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Funny Story just got up in the final strides for her first victory in Listed company over C&D in October and Ralph Beckett's filly has to be high on the shortlist, despite giving 3lb and upwards to her rivals. A chance, though, is taken on Nell Gwyn fifth HERITAGE HOUSE, who outran her odds making late gains in a contest where it paid to be ridden handy. With the hood off and dropping back a furlong in trip, she makes plenty of appeal. Others to consider include Unequal Love and Star Guest.
Prediction : 1st Heritage House 2nd Funny Story 3rd Unequal Love

Noble Style looked a potential star when taking the Gimcrack at York in August 2022 before the wheels fell off after running well in the 2000 Guineas on this card last year. Freshened up after disappointing on his final start at Chester, he will undoubtedly be popular dropping into handicap company. Aberama Gold (third) fared best of those who reoppose from a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting, but stable companion SUMMERGHAND, an eye-catching fifth on that occasion, proved there is still plenty of life left in the 10-year-old yet and he gets the nod.
Prediction : 1st Summerghand 2nd Noble Style 3rd Aberama Gold

TORITO progressed nicely in the early part of last season and announced himself as a smart individual when taking a handicap at Epsom that worked out to be a strong piece of form. The son of Kingman didn't get the clearest of passages when finishing fourth in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot and it wouldn't be a surprise if he took this en route to bigger things later in the season. There are a plethora of dangers, though, headed by Theoryofeverything, Dutch Decoy and Liberty Lane.
Prediction : 1st Torito 2nd Theoryofeverything 3rd Dutch Decoy

A dab hand when it comes to the training of sprinters, Charlie Hills looks to have acquired a talented recruit in the shape of MITBAAHY, who caught the eye when slowly away and staying on late over 6f in the Abernant last month. Conditions look to be in his favour again and this previous Group 3-winner is narrowly preferred to the returning Beautiful Diamond, who was a taking winner in Listed company at Ayr on her latest start. Vadream's connections will be hoping for plenty of rain in the forecast in her bid to repeat last year's success, while Twilight Calls remains a capable individual when things fall right.
Prediction : 1st Mitbaahy 2nd Beautiful Diamond 3rd Twilight Calls

One of the best two-year-olds we have seen this century with a rating of 125, CITY OF TROY is a clear standout as his master trainer bids to land this contest for an 11th time. The form of both his runaway wins in the Superlative and Dewhurst here are working out well, and a mile is likely to be his absolute minimum trip this campaign, being a son of Triple Crown winner Justify and out of a Galileo mare. Trainer Richard Hannon seems to hold Rosallion in the highest regard and he looked top class when scoring from a subsequent Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last autumn. Unbeaten and a taking winner of the Royal Lodge over C&D, Ghostwriter should be coming home strongly at the finish, while Task Force is bred for the job with both his parents Classic winners on the Rowley Mile. Alyanaabi and Notable Speech are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st City Of Troy 2nd Rosallion 3rd Task Force

MAXI KING could not have won any easier on his return from a 383-day absence at Ripon last month and an 8lb rise for that success looks manageable as he goes up to 1m4f for the first time. The son of Belardo may have too much for the progressive Knightswood, who was an excellent second over this distance at Ripon last month. Real Dream won first time out last season and must be noted, as well as To Catch A Thief for his in-form connections.
Prediction : 1st Maxi King 2nd Knightswood 3rd Real Dream

DAPPER VALLEY is taken to reverse last-time-out form with Trefor and land the spoils. He travelled best for a long way in the aforementioned contest, and finished first of 10 in the near side group, so any improvement from that comeback run could make him difficult to beat. Trefor looks to have improved from two to three himself, though, and certainly shouldn't be underestimated. Moswaat, Shagraan and Two Tribes add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Dapper Valley 2nd Trefor 3rd Moswaat

CHRISTIAN DAVID is a colt that looks to be learning all the time and there was much to like about his neck third in a 0-100 handicap at Newbury. Dropped in class today, with Ryan Moore taking over the reins, he is fancied to play a leading role. Key To Cotai ended last season with a narrow C&D defeat and commands plenty of respect after her pleasing reappearance effort over 6f at Wolverhampton. She can figure prominently under Tom Marquand, while Pressure's On, Purefoy and Pitney are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Christian David 2nd Key To Cotai 3rd Pressures On

Pjanoo readily justified favouritism at Wolverhampton and warrants plenty of respect returning to turf off an 8lb higher mark, while Arthur's Realm and Farasi Lane are other last-time-out winners to consider. A chance, however, is taken on the returning CRACK SHOT. He can easily be forgiven his latest effort, finishing midfield in the Cambridgeshire over 1m1f here, and holds solid claims on the form of his Newbury success prior to that. Rowayeh has the ability to figure on her reappearance but needs to settle.
Prediction : 1st Crack Shot 2nd Pjanoo 3rd Arthurs Realm
