UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

After making the frame at Ripon and Thirsk, Beronia sets the standard, but it isn't insurmountable and Nad Alshiba Rain might be best of those with previous experience after meeting with trouble at Nottingham. There are some interesting newcomers, though, not least the Godolphin pair of SCATTERING LIGHT and Valentia Island, with William Buick's presence on the former suggesting she is the stable number one. Kingman filly Mandurah is from a fine French family, with Miss Fascinator and Beautiful Things a couple more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Scattering Light 2nd Valentia Island 3rd Mandurah

Alec Voikhansky knows Pink Lily so well and they arrive after victories at Bath and Goodwood, but their hat-trick plans could be scuppered by ORCHARD KEEPER. Roger Varian's filly has found only one too strong on each of her last two appearances and now goes handicapping after a break and over a trip that should suit. Post Rider, another on a three-timer, has more to offer, but the assessor appears to have caught up with Aim For The Moon.
Prediction : 1st Orchard Keeper 2nd Pink Lily 3rd Post Rider

RAINBOWS EDGE is related to several Group/Graded winners and could be up to that class herself, judging by her impressive defeat of an 82-rated filly on her Newcastle introduction. She has been given time to strengthen further and can successfully take the next step up the ladder, although Inherit won't make it easy for her after her close-up Yarmouth third. Inversion is bred to be better than she showed at Salisbury, while Beverley third Supreme Beauty changed hands for 130,000gns recently. Prevail and Morrophore, although apparent stable second strings, warrant attention on debut.
Prediction : 1st Rainbows Edge 2nd Inherit 3rd Supreme Beauty

LUNARIO has been maintaining his form in recent months, as evidenced by placed efforts at Goodwood, Bath and Nottingham. Alice Haynes' gelding looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to regain the winning thread and he edges the vote over Hitched. The son of Cotai Glory posted a respectable fourth on his reappearance at Brighton in May and any improvement is likely to see him fighting in the finish. Royal Tapestry can chase the duo home.
Prediction : 1st Lunario 2nd Hitched 3rd Royal Tapestry

Market support for the stable/seasonal debutant Neverstopdreaming must be noted, particularly with the No Nay Never filly capping off last year's campaign with a victory at Carlisle. However, last month's Kempton third LOU LOU'S GIFT has the benefit of a run and that match-fitness could prove pivotal come the finish. Aquacell also arrives in good heart and Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly cannot be easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Lou Lous Gift 2nd Neverstopdreaming 3rd Aquacell

Rosy Affair scored on her second attempt in handicap company at Chepstow when always in control of proceedings. However, a 6lb rise requires another step forward against potentially stronger opposition. Ananda has the talent to be competitive but didn't appear to be straightforward when runner-up at Haydock. With that in mind, GUTSY GIRL may be the answer after running with a huge amount of credit when third under a penalty at Windsor. The daughter of Blue Point may well have won with a clear run and an opening mark of 85 could be generous from the handicapper.
Prediction : 1st Gutsy Girl 2nd Ananda 3rd Rosy Affair

SIGNALMAN wasn't disgraced in finishing fourth on his handicap debut at Sandown when attempting to make all the running and, in a contest that doesn't appear to have much depth on paper, the son of New Approach may be able to take advantage, especially in first-time cheekpieces. Xiomara has shaped well on both efforts in handicap company and is expected to be in the mix, while Savanna King completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Signalman 2nd Xiomara 3rd Savanna King
