UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

A newcomer landed this contest last year and it may pay to side with another this time in the shape of LIVE EACH DAY. A daughter of multiple Group 1 winner Persian King, the William Haggas-trained youngster should have no issue with the ground and is preferred to the well-bred Qarlyga, who makes her debut for a stable that is always worth watching with fillies at this track. Of those with experience, Hamilton second Misty Sky and top-weight Fleetwater stand out.
Prediction : 1st Live Each Day 2nd Qarlyga 3rd Misty Sky

An intriguing novice with a whole host of illustrious pedigrees to choose from, and it may be the soon-to-retire Sir Michael Stoute who comes out on top with PINHOLE. A brother to Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, who struck on debut herself, the son of Frankel is preferred to Mudbir, who hails from a family that the Gosdens have been very successful with for these owners in recent years. Humam should handle this ground well, being a half-brother to mudlark Vadream, while Due West is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Pinhole 2nd Mudbir 3rd Humam

A 400,000gns son of Frankel out of Prix de l'Opera winner Villa Marina, THE CURSOR is likely to relish this ground and he can strike on debut for connections that are more than adept at readying newcomers. Bred in the purple having cost a huge sum, Arabian Poet may have been a disappointment on debut on the July Course, but better can be expected here and the fact William Buick seemingly prefers him to stablemate Tremorgio is a plus.
Prediction : 1st The Cursor 2nd Arabian Poet 3rd Tremorgio

ANNIVERSARY lost little in defeat when unable to concede 3lb to a now 101-rated rival at Epsom last month. An opening mark of 91 looks extremely workable and Ralph Beckett's colt is taken to regain the winning thread. Fellow nursery debutant Watching Stars made it third-time lucky when opening his account at Thirsk and first-time cheekpieces could improve him further. The son of Sea The Stars is feared most, ahead of Harmonia.
Prediction : 1st Anniversary 2nd Watching Stars 3rd Harmonia

Surveyor endured a rough passage when finishing third at Wolverhampton earlier this month and she must enter calculations reverting to turf. However, rain-softened ground may not enable James Fanshawe's filly to show her best and preference is for QUEEN'S REIGN. The daughter of Siyouni wasn't disgraced when seventh in a Listed event at Ascot and a bold bid is forecast back in handicap company. Twirling and Zapphire look best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Queens Reign 2nd Surveyor 3rd Twirling

PRESENT TIMES offered a lot of encouragement when second, despite doing plenty wrong, on his debut over C&D last month and with the promise of improvement to come, he looks the one to side with in what should be a very informative affair. Too Don Juan and I Am I Said give Ralph Beckett a strong hand, with the former looking the pick after a promising fourth at Salisbury on his introduction. Recent Newcastle runner-up Byblos is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Present Times 2nd Too Don Juan 3rd Byblos

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood with MEGALITHIC, but it may pay to do so. He hasn't cut much ice in his two starts in nurseries but he showed a useful level of form prior to that and, sporting first-time blinkers off what may transpire to be a workable mark, he gets a tentative nod. Veydari kept on well when scoring over 6f on testing ground at Pontefract and merits consideration, while Al Misbar has shown enough in his three qualifying runs to suggest that he can play a hand on his first appearance as a gelding.
Prediction : 1st Megalithic 2nd Veydari 3rd Al Misbar
