UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

GEO was an eye-catcher when she finished fourth on her introduction in a similar race over C&D 16 days ago. The signs from that effort were encouraging enough to suggest the daughter of Mehmas can flourish now she has some experience. Ellaria Sand and Lilly's Bet also created favourable impressions on their respective debuts and are others to seriously consider. Zizi is bred to be effective at this trip and appeals most from the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Geo 2nd Ellaria Sand 3rd Lillys Bet

BRIAN stepped forward from two promising runs to finish third in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. That form is a rock-solid offering and this son of Shaman is hard to oppose at this level. Inconspicuous won a valuable seller at York last month and is an obvious threat with first-time cheekpieces added. Mister Knockout is an appealing newcomer to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Brian 2nd Inconspicuous 3rd Mister Knockout

HARRY'S HALO has posted a series of respectable efforts since having a combination of a hood and tongue-tie applied and he doesn't have much to find to gain a belated return to winning ways. Attractively weighted in comparison to his peak rating as a three-year-old, the Kevin Frost-trained gelding gets the vote over Moe's Legacy and Land Of Magic, who are the pick of the opposition.
Prediction : 1st Harrys Halo 2nd Moes Legacy 3rd Land Of Magic

Castle Cove looked a nice prospect when scoring over this trip at Leicester on debut but couldn't defy a penalty when fourth in a similar event to this at Redcar last month and it could be a similar story here, with preference for VANISH. A 200,000gns full-borther to the Group-placed two-year-old winner Anchorage, the Owen Burrows-trained colt was a pleasing second on debut over this C&D in April and he can put that experience to good use. Kate The Cook caught the eye staying on for third over 1m at Kempton first time out and she's interesting now stepped up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Vanish 2nd Castle Cove 3rd Kate The Cook

This looks an open contest but there is plenty to like about the chances of GISELLES DEFENCE, who hacked up in an apprentice handicap at Epsom under this pilot before a fair second at Beverley on Saturday. He escapes a penalty again for last week's victory and should mount another bold bid. Double Jump also filled the runner-up berth off this mark last time out and warrants respect, while Willy Campbell is interesting now upped in trip for his handicap debut following a near-miss over 1m at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Giselles Defence 2nd Willy Campbell 3rd Double Jump

Fictional followed up his 1m3f victory at Kempton with a 2m success at Lingfield last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to halt him on that evidence. However, he was well beaten on his sole turf start and the ground is forecast to be soft again here, so he could be worth opposing now returned to grass. AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER won well at Windsor before a decent third to a subsequent winner over 1m4f here last time (Forest Hills fifth) and Marcus Tregoning's charge looks a big player off an unchanged mark. Grey Owl is another to consider off a falling handicap mark.
Prediction : 1st Al Khawaneej River 2nd Fictional 3rd Grey Owl
