UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

Bownder wasn't beaten far when last of four at Windsor last month and is respected. Lady Of The Isles showed more when fourth in a maiden at the same venue most recently and needs to be monitored in the betting on her handicap bow, but it may pay to side with SONIC PIONEER. The son of Massaat ran too badly to be true when sporting first-time cheekpieces (which are now removed) at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and could bounce back to score.
Prediction : 1st Sonic Pioneer 2nd Bownder 3rd Lady Of The Isles

Mr Writer improved on his debut effort when second at Kempton last month and as long as the colt transfers that form to turf, he could have a say. However, newcomer RULER OF TIME changed hands for 700,000 dollars and represents the in-form Charlie Appleby team. The son of Not This Time is related to plenty of winners and it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression. Any market support behind Morbeh would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Ruler Of Time 2nd Mr Writer 3rd Morbeh

Tarot's dam is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1 winner Inspiral and with Roger Varian's string in fine form at present, she needs to be monitored in the betting market. Sapphire Steps is another to keep an eye on, but SING THE BLUES looks the way to go. William Haggas' filly shaped with lots of promise when third on her introduction at Yarmouth earlier in the month and she could prove hard to beat with the benefit of that experience.
Prediction : 1st Sing The Blues 2nd Tarot 3rd Sapphire Steps

WISE APPROACH was no match for Charles Darwin but was still a good second in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Charlie Appleby's colt should be difficult to beat if reproducing that level of performance, although Amorim could hardly have been more impressive when on target at Windsor and can throw down a stern challenge. First Legion disappointed in the Norfolk himself but he overturned the selection on debut and should not be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Wise Approach 2nd Amorim 3rd First Legion

A few with chances but perhaps none more so than DANCINGWITHMYSELF, who defeated a subsequent winner at Chelmsford last time out. Michael Bell's filly is only 3lb higher and with a return to turf being no problem for her, she can follow up. Stepping up in trip worked the oracle for Goodwood-scorer Orchard Keeper. The daughter of Churchill remains open to improvement and is preferred to John and Thady Gosden's Star Of Light for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Dancingwithmyself 2nd Orchard Keeper 3rd Star Of Light

Recent Lingfield scorer GOLDEN HANDSHAKE has another excellent chance on these terms and is expected to make a successful handicap debut. However, William Haggas' charge might not have it all his own way, as the in-form Odin Legacy is unlikely to go down without a fight. His Finest Hour kept on well to strike over 1m2f here last time and another step up in trip could unlock further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Golden Handshake 2nd Odin Legacy 3rd His Finest Hour
