UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Charlie Appleby has won this three times in the last 10 years and any strong support for AL ZANATI could prove significant. The Dubawi colt is a brother to winner in France and William Buick prefers his chances to those of stablemate Leone Alato. King's Trust sports the royal colours and Ryan Moore's presence takes the eye, while the Night Of Thunder progeny Infinite Dream is another likely type worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Al Zanati 2nd Kings Trust 3rd Infinite Dream

EVOLUTIONIST holds a Group 1 entry, but ran green when sent off favourite on debut at Haydock and finished only fourth. Karl Burke's filly will have learnt plenty from that initial experience and gets another chance. She may have most to fear from the newcomers, including Ribbon Of Sea. The latter is a full-sister to Sea Silk Road, who won at the highest level in France, while Don't Hurry Love and stablemate Legacy Link are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Evolutionist 2nd Ribbon Of Sea 3rd Dont Hurry Love

FIRST TIME has shown enough to suggest he can win at this level. Harry Charlton's colt found only Gharma Sutra, now rated 91, too good at Ffos Las most recently and gets the nod on the strength of that form. Gouken showed ability when third at Newbury on debut and can have a say in proceedings, while the speedily-bred Gaurdman and Crown Office are both newcomers worthy of respect.
Prediction : 1st First Time 2nd Gouken 3rd Gaurdman

A close second off 1lb higher in this race 12 months ago, DASHING DICK could be worth chancing. The seven-year-old is already a dual C&D winner and wasn't beaten far when third in a similar track-and-trip event on his most recent start. Last year's winner, Spring Bloom, is 3lb worse-off with the selection but is dangerous to ignore after also hinting at a revival here last month. Angel Shared and Wheels Of Fire also have good chances.
Prediction : 1st Dashing Dick 2nd Spring Bloom 3rd Angel Shared

Dylan Cunha has found the key to LADY MARIKO and she is hard to oppose on the back of wins at Wetherby and Yarmouth. On just her third start for the local trainer, this presents the daughter of Kameko with a major chance of extending her winning run. The selection does have a 6lb higher rating to contend with, which creates hope for the likes of Rogue Dynasty and Spirit Of Jenny, who are other key players on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Lady Mariko 2nd Rogue Dynasty 3rd Spirit Of Jenny

SOMETHING SPLENDID and Billy Loughnane formed a winning partnership in a slightly weaker race over C&D last month and there is a lot to like about their bid for back-to-back wins. A 6lb rise looks very manageable given the cosy manner of that success and more can be expected here. Zarakerjack has also made progress since being stepped up to 1m2f and could be on the premises. The penalised hat-trick seeker Gloryous is another must for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Something Splendid 2nd Zarakerjack 3rd Gloryous
