UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

William Haggas has won two of the last four renewals and WALEEFY makes plenty of appeal. The son of Night Of Thunder has a recent outing over 6f under his belt, but his best form last season came over this distance, including a narrow defeat in a tougher handicap at Newbury in August. Physique just missed out when runner-up over course and distance recently and can get involved, while there looks to be more to come from the Leicester maiden winner Dark Tornado.
Prediction : 1st Waleefy 2nd Physique 3rd Dark Tornado

The tough and consistent We Dare To Dream has been raised 6lb for winning at Beverley, though still enters calculations. Art Market is another recent winner to consider having proved much the best when scoring here last month, but the unexposed FONDO BLANCO may edge it. Roger Varian's inmate was doing his best work at the finish when going close over 6f at Doncaster on his reappearance. This extra yardage should help now sent handicapping and he gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Fondo Blanco 2nd We Dare To Dream 3rd Art Market

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER made a winning reappearance at Redcar before finding only one too good over course and distance. He drops down a grade and George Boughey's charge can launch another serious challenge off his current mark. Mythical Guest could also prove competitive at this level arriving on the back of a creditable second at Ascot, while Royal Velvet could be on the premises too.
Prediction : 1st Classic Encounter 2nd Mythical Guest 3rd Royal Velvet

DANCE TO THE MUSIC is a full-sister to the multiple Group 1 winner Space Blues and Charlie Appleby's filly has to be high on the shortlist with that in mind. Lyrics Of Life is from the family of the top-class Romantic Warrior and it would be no surprise to see her go well, while Moo Deng and Midnight Tango are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Dance To The Music 2nd Lyrics Of Life 3rd Moo Deng

GOLD CUP DAY took a big step forward from his debut when winning easily over 1m4f at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. William Haggas' colt is likely to have more to offer here and he sets the standard, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Pole Star was only beaten two lengths when fourth on his racecourse bow at Chester recently and the son of Teofilo should not be discounted. Middle Ages edges out Minhad and Dangerman to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Gold Cup Day 2nd Pole Star 3rd Middle Ages

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to STRING OF PEARLS. The Study Of Man filly has shown promise in three starts on the all-weather, but switching to turf and going handicapping for the first time could make all the difference. An opening mark of 77 doesn't appear too harsh for Kentucky River and he is another who ought to progress, while Mighty Boy, who was far from discredited when ridden by an apprentice at Sandown latest, could also figure.
Prediction : 1st String Of Pearls 2nd Kentucky River 3rd Mighty Boy

Having recorded wins at Wetherby and Brighton on his final two starts for Michael Keady last month, NORTHCLIFF made the perfect start for his new yard when on target at Ascot recently. The son of Dandy Man has yet to exploit a mark this high but he is clearly thriving at present and might be up to the task. Aberama Gold might not be the force of old but this is an easier assignment than the heritage handicap he contested here a fortnight ago. Imperial Guard shouldn't be overlooked either.
Prediction : 1st Northcliff 2nd Aberama Gold 3rd Imperial Guard
