UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

With several top yards represented, the betting market should be informative. Stable companions Verse Of Love and Wild Angel, along with the likes of Mystery Of Love and Revelance, all fly the flag for high-profile trainers from these shores and command respect. However, Ballydoyle raider HEAD TO HEAD could be the way to go now the daughter of Wootton Bassett switches to turf after a highly encouraging second-placed finish on her debut at Dundalk last month.
Prediction : 1st Head To Head 2nd Verse Of Love 3rd Wild Angel

Having finished runner-up in a couple of Group 2 events already, The Strikin Viking should be a key player despite failing to do himself justice by running too freely in the Gimcrack at York in August. However, MIDNIGHT THUNDER is less exposed and appeals after he easily brushed aside a 7lb penalty in a novice stakes at Yarmouth last month. This obviously demands more but the son of Kodiac could find the requisite improvement with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. Treasure Isle and Mr Lightside are other strong contenders.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Thunder 2nd The Strikin Viking 3rd Treasure Isle

MISS FASCINATOR was a ready winner on the July course on her penultimate start before finding only the potentially high-class Tabiti too good in the Dick Poole at Salisbury last month. Those are two strong pieces of form, which earn the daughter of Mehmas a tentative vote in a highly-competitive edition of this race. Charlie Appleby has a strong chance of back-to-back winners if Magical Trail copes with the rise in class on her first try outside of novice company. Flight and Ecstatic are other key players to consider.
Prediction : 1st Miss Fascinator 2nd Magical Trail 3rd Flight

Having started slowly and finishing in last place in the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July, it is too soon to be writing off NOBLE DYNASTY. Previous to that mishap, Charlie Appleby's gelding proved a game winner in the Criterion Stakes on the July course and a return to the Rowley Mile is certainly no negative for this dual C&D winner. A more aggressive ride and drop in class saw Royal Scotsman making all in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom last time out and the four-year-old is feared most, ahead of Witness Stand.
Prediction : 1st Noble Dynasty 2nd Royal Scotsman 3rd Witness Stand

Dreamy supplemented her gutsy maiden victory at Goodwood with a ready victory in a Group 3 at the Curragh later in August. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly merits respect in her bid to land a hat-trick, but DESERT FLOWER may prove too strong. The daughter of Night Of Thunder proved a decisive winner in the May Hill at Doncaster last month and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record on this fourth appearance. Tabiti looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Desert Flower 2nd Dreamy 3rd Tabiti

KILDARE LEGEND was an easy winner at Southwell in July before defying an opening mark of 85 in comfortable fashion at Doncaster last month. A 6lb rise ought to be well within range given the manner of that success, and, though this is competitive, James Ferguson's charge is fancied to go in again. Alan King landed this with Trueshan in 2019 and he would appear to hold a live chance with recent Ascot scorer Brioni. Grey Cuban won on Town Moor last time out and he is respected up 3lb, along with Mount Atlas and Irish raider Highland Bling.
Prediction : 1st Kildare Legend 2nd Brioni 3rd Grey Cuban

Oaks runner-up DANCE SEQUENCE hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly in July, but she returns from that absence in much calmer waters and is fancied to resume her progress. Sound Angela (winner) had the measure of High Spirited (third) in the John Musker at Yarmouth last time out and can be expected to confirm her superiority, but Verbier, who contested a Grade 2 at Saratoga recently, could be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Dance Sequence 2nd Verbier 3rd Sound Angela
