UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Formerly trained by Richard Fahey, BLUE YONDER had yet to click for new connections before scoring comfortably over C&D in a similar contest last month. Brodie Hampson retaining the ride is a big plus and he gets the vote ahead of the consistent Unplugged, as well as Warning Sign, who performed with plenty of credit over 1m at Sandown last time out. Absolute Queen and Lady Of Arabia cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Blue Yonder 2nd Unplugged 3rd Warning Sign

This can go the way of GLISTENING, who was an encouraging third on debut at Yarmouth earlier in the month when running green before keeping on late in the piece. A well-bred daughter of Frankel out of Group winner Soffia, she can get off the mark at the main expense of costly newcomer Qilin Queen, who is related to several classy winners and hails from the in-form Ed Walker yard. Both in the colours of powerful owners, Formal and Polygram should be monitored for market support.
Prediction : 1st Glistening 2nd Qilin Queen 3rd Polygram

Not beaten far into third when attempting to land the double on her handicap debut at Haydock, SMOULDERING narrowly sets the standard on recent form and can strike off a 2lb higher mark. A determined winner over 6f here earlier in the month, Silent Flame can give her the most to think about up in distance, while State Flag is another to consider having been slightly unlucky when not getting the clearest of runs over C&D last time.
Prediction : 1st Smouldering 2nd Silent Flame 3rd State Flag

SURREY BELLE arrives with a 5lb penalty following her victory at Kempton last Tuesday and the four-year-old, who is 3lb well-in as a result, gets the vote to earn a first success on turf. The Crafty Mole bids for a fifth victory this season, having improved 23lb in the process, and David O'Meara's gelding boasts strong credentials on his first attempt over 2m. Others to consider include Warmonger and Road To Wembley.
Prediction : 1st Surrey Belle 2nd The Crafty Mole 3rd Warmonger

NILOUFAR gained a third victory when producing a career-best display at Chepstow last week and she appears difficult to oppose with plenty in her favour once again. The daughter of Tamayuz has the advantage of her rider's 5lb claim and is expected to prove too strong for Beach Point, a winner of his latest outing at Yarmouth, and Saachi, who might be suited by a more conventional track having finished fourth at Epsom a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Niloufar 2nd Beach Point 3rd Saachi

GOBLET OF FIRE progressed well for Nigel Tinkler by winning three of his last four starts for the Yorkshire handler before switching to Nicky Henderson for a juvenile hurdle campaign. The four-year-old returned to the level with victories at Kempton and Wolverhampton in recent weeks and may not be finished improving yet. Trojan Truth is another with leading credentials after his Leicester success, while Throubi and Lunar Shadow appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Goblet Of Fire 2nd Trojan Truth 3rd Throubi
