UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

The in-form Ralph Beckett saddles top-weight Priapos, who was found to be lame when disappointing over C&D in August and would be a player if back on song. Similarly, Art Design needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort in a good contest at Doncaster, but has leading claims on her previous form. The safest option may be JR CLIMBS, who was touched off by the subsequent Two Year Old Trophy winner over track and trip before a good effort in defeat over 7f here last month, and he should give another good account of himself.
Prediction : 1st Jr Climbs 2nd Art Design 3rd Priapos

Ralph Beckett launches a twin-pronged assault in the shape of last-time-out Newmarket winners Saqqara Sands (7f) and Sea To Sky (1m), both of whom step up to Listed class with scope for further progress. However, SUPERMODEL created a big impression first time out when quickening clear nicely in the mud at Haydock to score in fine style over this trip and the William Haggas-trained filly looks to have a bright future. Too Much Heaven romped home on her debut over C&D and is another unexposed sort to consider in a tricky contest.
Prediction : 1st Supermodel 2nd Sea To Sky 3rd Too Much Heaven

INDEMNITY relished the heavy ground when a half-length second off 2lb lower over this trip at Salisbury, finishing clear of the remainder, and he can mount another bold bid for his in-form yard. There are plenty of dangers, most notably Desperate Dan, who narrowly failed to complete a double under a penalty over 1m at Windsor and looks well worth another try at 1m2f. The unexposed Sir Lowry's Pass could be feasibly treated off a mark of 84 on his handicap bow, while Arthur's Realm and Nap Hand are also in with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Indemnity 2nd Desperate Dan 3rd Sir Lowrys Pass

BENEVENTO, who holds an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry, responded gamely for David Egan when running on well to snatch victory in the Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster. With the third home subsequently landing a Group 3 at Newmarket, that form has the most solid appearance. Yaroogh impressed when winning a Listed affair at Chantilly a fortnight ago and the consistent son of Dubawi is another must for the shortlist. The unbeaten Bob Mali and Make You Smile both step up in class, but are noteworthy contenders.
Prediction : 1st Benevento 2nd Yaroogh 3rd Bob Mali

AL AASY is already a dual Group 3 winner this season and, as he proved when scoring readily in the Geoffrey Freer in August, his liking for this course is a highly valuable asset. Rain-soaked ground could be a stumbling block, however, and support in the betting for Salt Bay, whose yard won the last running of this with Max Vega, would need taking seriously. The 2022 winner and the third Ralph Beckett representative Feigning Madness are also dangerous to rule out, while God's Window could be the pick of the Gosdens' two entrants.
Prediction : 1st Al Aasy 2nd Salt Bay 3rd Gods Window

That's Amore, who fetched 180,000gns as a yearling and is a sister the to classy Persica, looks a likely type on paper and must feature prominently in calculations ahead of her racecourse bow. It is fellow debutant HATYSA who shades preference, however. By Sea The Stars out of a half-sister to Harzand, the 280,000gns purchase could be a smart middle-distance performer in the future but this mile looks a good starting point. Stablemate Brightandbeautiful didn't show much on debut, but she ought to progress with that run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Hatysa 2nd Thats Amore 3rd Brightandbeautiful

MACARI has found steady improvement since having his attentions turned to handicaps last month, reaching the frame on all four occasions. No match for an easy winner over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth recently, Sheena West's charge could relish a return to further and duly open his account in this sphere. Motazzen returns to the Flat following an indifferent spell over hurdles and is handicapped to go well. Others to note include Throne Hall and Warning Sign.
Prediction : 1st Macari 2nd Motazzen 3rd Warning Sign
