UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

With six of the eight a winner last time out, this looks better than average and although Galileo filly Winter Snowfall is bred to be special, she will need to improve from her Chelmsford maiden win to get the better of KALPANA. First and second in her two all-weather starts, she stepped up a gear to win a handicap here by 10 lengths and more than warrants a crack at this better contest. Lunar Eclipse holds an Oaks entry and may hold Friendly Soul in the race for third.
Prediction : 1st Kalpana 2nd Winter Snowfall 3rd Lunar Eclipse

Stay Alert is officially the best horse in this line-up, but she hasn't won since September 2022 and is passed over on her first start of the season. Running Lion heads the early betting after her eighth in the Group 1 Champion Fillies and Mares last October but her best win so far was in Listed class, and a chance is taken on SILVER LADY. Lightly raced with just five starts, she won the Group 2 Cape Verdi at Meydan in January and looks all set for a successful season.
Prediction : 1st Silver Lady 2nd Running Lion 3rd Stay Alert

HMS President won this last year for Alan King and is capable of another decent showing, despite carrying an extra 8lb on this occasion. New London has every chance in handicap company after coming home fourth and third at Meydan in Group 3 contests, but asking him to give 10lb to INTINSO looks a big ask. A winner at Wolverhampton in March and a running-on third at Kempton since, this trip may bring plenty of improvement from the lightly-raced four-year-old.
Prediction : 1st Intinso 2nd New London 3rd HMS President

FALLEN ANGEL took on the Irish and comprehensively beat them in their own back yard when she emerged as an impressive winner of the Moyglare at the Curragh last September. That was an outstanding performance and, given the daughter of Too Darn Hot had previously blown away the opposition when landing last year's edition of the Sweet Solera on the July course, this highly progressive filly has a major chance of obtaining Karl Burke a first Classic success. Ylang Ylang was only third in the Moyglare but blew that out of the water when she landed the Fillies' Mile on her next start. That experience of the trip could give Aidan O'Brien's sole representative an edge if stamina becomes an issue for the selection. French Group 2 winner Ramatuelle, along with Nell Gywn principles, Pretty Crystal and Dance Sequence, are others with rock-solid credentials in a fascinating renewal.
Prediction : 1st Fallen Angel 2nd Ylang Ylang 3rd Ramatuelle

Charlie Appleby and Godolphin throw three darts at this contest and although Lucky Gift and Ballet Show both have excellent pedigrees, it is MOUNTAIN BREEZE, a close relative of three-time Group 1 winner Pinatubo, who captures the imagination as the main suggestion here. We have yet to see the best of Appleby's current crop of juveniles but this regally-bred trio suggests the ball is about to gather strong momentum. Mademoiselle and River Seine are a couple of others to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Mountain Breeze 2nd Lucky Gift 3rd Ballet Show

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from THE ACTOR's never-nearer second on debut over C&D last month and that experience should stand him in good stead going forward. Richard Hannon's colt makes most appeal of those who have raced, although a big performance from newcomer Symbol Of Honour wouldn't surprise. The Havana Grey colt is a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Dragon Symbol and market support could prove significant. Al Qudra is also noted.
Prediction : 1st The Actor 2nd Symbol Of Honour 3rd Al Qudra

Cynosure opened his account a shade cosily on his reappearance in a novice at Lingfield last month. His current rating of 85 shouldn't prevent another bold bid, but there is a sneaking suspicion that BLACK RUN could be the better handicapped of the two. The son of Nathaniel shaped better than the beaten distance suggests on his sixth-placed finish in a Group 3 at Longchamp in April and he might have too much class for these rivals. Sea The Thunder and Mai Dubai also warrant closer examination.
Prediction : 1st Black Run 2nd Cynosure 3rd Sea The Thunder
