UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Some powerhouse stables are represented and this looks a very decent maiden. However, with five winners since 2017, Charlie Appleby has farmed this race and could again hold the key if SNOW LIGHT lives up to the billing as the choice of William Buick over her stable companion, Dancing Flower. The chief threat to the selection could be Darkwing, a daughter of Frankel, whose dam was a Group 2 winner the same yard/connections. New Vega and Fan Me also warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Snow Light 2nd Darkwing 3rd New Vega

MISS NIGHTFALL was the subject of one of the biggest betting plunges of Royal Ascot week when she was backed into favouritism for the Sandringham. Despite only managing to finish sixth in that race, she wasn't beaten far and it was a most encouraging effort on the basis of it being just her second run in a handicap. Bountiful (11th) and Saariselka (18th) appear held on the face value of the Ascot form and with that in mind, the Kensington Palace Stakes winner, Miss Information, is forwarded as the danger to selection, although dropping in trip off 6lb higher asks more of her.
Prediction : 1st Miss Nightfall 2nd Miss Information 3rd Bountiful

MORE THUNDER, who is 3lb well-in here, has won two of his three starts since joining William Haggas and was unlucky not to have completed the hat-trick when he was narrowly defeated in a tight finish to the Wokingham at Royal Ascot last month. The son of Night Of Thunder stayed on readily that day and this additional furlong is well worth exploring given he ran over further when trained by Sir Michael Stoute. The Wokingham third, Ten Pounds, is closely matched and is a serious threat to the selection. Akkadian Thunder and Myal are also strong contenders.
Prediction : 1st More Thunder 2nd Ten Pounds 3rd Akkadian Thunder

FIFTH COLUMN caught the eye when seventh in the Britannia at Royal Ascot as he did well to get so close from a low draw. The son of Kingman clearly remains on a workable mark and may be the safest pick in a very competitive event. Bedouin Prince has shown plenty of ability in three starts to date, but an opening rating of 100 demands plenty from him on his handicap bow. Others to note are Secret Theory and Raafedd.
Prediction : 1st Fifth Column 2nd Bedouin Prince 3rd Secret Theory

ITALY created a big impression when winning on debut over 7f at Leopardstown in May and that form was boosted when the second filled the same position in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. With improvement highly likely, Aidan O'Brien's colt gets the nod. That said, Saba Desert has a similar profile and Charlie Appleby has won five of the last nine renewals of this contest. The shortlist is completed by Wild Desert and Moonfall.
Prediction : 1st Italy 2nd Saba Desert 3rd Wild Desert

Symbol Of Honour won a Group 2 sprint at Haydock in May, but William Buick prefers supplemented stablemate Notable Speech, a dual Group 1 winner over a mile last year. The latter has the class to get involved on his first start over 6f, but another chance goes to INISHERIN. Not at his best behind Flora Of Bermuda (third) in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Ascot, Kevin Ryan's sprinter had beaten the latter at York before that, and is taken to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. Whistlejacket and Big Mojo are not out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Inisherin 2nd Notable Speech 3rd Symbol Of Honour

Atlantic Sunset won over C&D last month, but he'll need to step up on that form raised 4lb and upped in class. CLAYMORE makes more appeal, as he can be forgiven a poor effort on soft ground at Chester, having finished runner-up on the Rowley course here before that. That form reads well in this context and a strong challenge is expected from the son of New Bay. A winner at Epsom in April, Asgard's Captain returns to this lower level with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Claymore 2nd Atlantic Sunset 3rd Asgards Captain
