UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Having secured victories on her last two outings at Bath with something to spare, another bold bid is forecast from GOLDEN PHASE. A 4lb higher mark is unlikely the ceiling of Denis Coakley's filly and she's preferred over fellow last-time-out scorer Hot Team. The eight-year-old relished a switch to hold-up tactics at Hamilton recently and he should give another good account, while the consistent Laser Focus isn't easily dismissed either.
Prediction : 1st Golden Phase 2nd Hot Team 3rd Laser Focus

DEAR CAT should have learned plenty from her debut fifth at Goodwood earlier this month and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. The daughter of Churchill didn't enjoy the best of passages that day and she could take some stopping with a clear run. Any market support for 42,000gns newcomer Jennifer Wren would be interesting, with Clive Cox's filly looking a potential fly in the ointment judged purely on her pedigree, while Pure Artistry and Maui Breeze are both potential improvers after their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Dear Cat 2nd Jennifer Wren 3rd Pure Artistry

Flaming Stone must enter calculations after her promising fourth on her first start at Newmarket last month. Andrew Balding's filly likely has better days ahead of her and she isn't taken lightly. However, WE SEA YOU, a first foal of the Group-placed Rapid Reaction, could have too much class for these rivals. Market support for the Sea The Stars filly would increase confidence, with fellow newcomer Flight also noted.
Prediction : 1st We Sea You 2nd Flaming Stone 3rd Flight

Fresh off an excellent week at Royal Ascot, Oisin Murphy may be able to guide ENTRANCEMENT back to the winner's enclosure, having been narrowly denied when aboard at Goodwood in May. Runner-up on three of her last six starts, the four-year-old is preferred to easy Lingfield winner Raintown, as well as Marhaba Million, who must be of interest on handicap debut in a first-time visor following a decent effort in defeat at Salisbury.
Prediction : 1st Entrancement 2nd Raintown 3rd Marhaba Million

A tentative vote goes to URESHII, who is better than he showed at Lingfield last time out, and a mark of 70 could prove lenient on his handicap bow. Conditions are in his favour and Andrew Balding's charge may have too much for Shelbourne, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Catterick. Daring Legend and Onthemoneyhoney are likely to enter the reckoning as well.
Prediction : 1st Ureshii 2nd Shelbourne 3rd Daring Legend

The hat-trick seeking Yantarni is an obvious starting point. However, a 5lb penalty for the latest of his two wins on Lingfield's turf course does him no favours, despite this being a drop in class. There are several others lurking on competitive marks, with FREETODREAM capable of exploiting the terms of the race. Having previously won under Robert Havlin, the four-year-old appeals for a bit of value from the foot of handicap. Sayifyouwill and Red Maids are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Freetodream 2nd Yantarni 3rd Sayifyouwill

SNUGGLE has run creditably on both starts since winning a 6f handicap at Windsor in April and, with the forecast quick ground ideal, the Luke Dace-trained four-year-old can boost his profile with further success. Strike has also been in good form this season and appeals with Olivia Tubb taking off 7lb with her claim. Mick Appleby's knack of revitalising sprint handicappers was again evident when Lipsink made a winning start for the yard at Nottingham 12 days ago and he commands respect off just 4lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Snuggle 2nd Strike 3rd Lipsink
