UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

On target at Beverley last month before following up in fine style at Nottingham latest, DAWN OF LIBERATION is officially 3lb well-in under a penalty and is fancied to complete his hat-trick. Stepping up in trip ought to suit Tex, who was only beaten a neck into fourth over the mile at Kempton recently. As is par for the course in these amateur riders' events, the booking of Simon Walker is noteworthy. Enthused found one too strong at Brighton last time but still merits respect.
Prediction : 1st Dawn Of Liberation 2nd Tex 3rd Enthused

Moonfall is certain to prove popular having gone well in defeat on both of his racecourse appearances. A step up in trip could unlock some improvement but, although respected, a chance can be taken on YACHTSMAN. The Lope Y Fernandez colt fetched 125,000gns as a yearling and his pedigree suggests he will not lack for speed. The John and Thady Gosden yard has been in fine form of late, so it would come as no surprise were he to mount a serious challenge on debut. Cape Orator is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Yachtsman 2nd Moonfall 3rd Cape Orator

TIME TO TURN was unable to justify favouritism when beaten by a stablemate on his debut at Haydock, but that colt has since won the Woodcote at Epsom and looks a top prospect. There are some nice newcomers going to post, including the Wathnan-owned Circle Of Magic, but Charlie Appleby's charge can step forward to land the spoils. There is plenty to recommend the George Boughey-trained Mcmurray on paper and he warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Time To Turn 2nd Circle Of Magic 3rd Mcmurray

This can go the way of the gelded BOUBYAN, who caught the eye on his handicap debut at Windsor last month when running on for third, having endured a rough passage. The son of Churchill gets to run off an unchanged mark and is preferred to Kempton scorer Orchard, as well as Castro Aurum, who should be suited by dropping back in trip having won at Bath over 1m on her penultimate outing. Others to note include Condotti, Mahogany Bay and Something Splendid.
Prediction : 1st Boubyan 2nd Orchard 3rd Castro Aurum

Recently appointed as retained jockey to Juddmonte, Colin Keane can get his new role off to the perfect start by landing this valuable novice contest aboard BLUE BOLT. The daughter of Blue Point impressed when making all at Windsor last month and she is narrowly preferred to Consecrated, who drops in class after a respectable fourth in Listed company at York. Majaz and Seren Star are both open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Blue Bolt 2nd Consecrated 3rd Seren Star

This looks like an ideal opportunity for TWISTING PHYSICS on handicap debut following a narrow defeat on only his third career outing at Carlisle last month. A mark of 84 could underestimate the four-year-old and he may have too much for Victoria Cup winner Hickory, who will appreciate dropping back to 7f. Better known for his exploits on the all-weather, Grand Karat is not to be ruled out, likewise Dorney Lake.
Prediction : 1st Twisting Physics 2nd Hickory 3rd Dorney Lake

The hat-trick seeking Mesaafi is 3lb well-in and is a player if recent exertions haven't taken their toll. However, this is deeper than the two races he won on the all-weather and he's reluctantly passed over. Fellow last-time-out winner ABBEY HEIGHTS shades preference. The David and Claire Kubler-trained gelding was a zestful winner at Kempton last month and has enough scope to brush aside a 6lb rise. Coup De Force and Tan Rapido are each-way alternatives.
Prediction : 1st Abbey Heights 2nd Mesaafi 3rd Coup De Force

LIEUTENANT LILY debuts in a handicap off a very workable mark. The daughter of Cracksman outran odds of 33/1 to finish a respectable third in a novice race over 1m2f at Goodwood most recently, where the fitting of a tongue-tie was instrumental in that improved effort. With the application retained and the step up in trip a source of progression, Tom Ward's filly looks worth chancing in a wide-open finale. The Godolphin-owned pair Dangerman and Desert Shadow both command respect, while Sudu and Vilaine Verlaine can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Lieutenant Lily 2nd Dangerman 3rd Desert Shadow
