UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

BOW ECHO arrives with strong claims of keeping his unbeaten record intact. The Night Of Thunder colt showed a determined attitude to land a Listed contest at Haydock three weeks ago, and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride. There was little to separate runner-up Humidity and Pacific Avenue (fourth) in the Solario Stakes at Sandown but the former is marginally preferred over this extra furlong, while Ballydoyle colt Action is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bow Echo 2nd Humidity 3rd Pacific Avenue

Royal Fixation landed the Lowther Stakes at York in the manner of a high-class filly. It's difficult to envisage runner-up America Queen turning the tables, but BEAUTIFY poses a much bigger threat. A Group 2 winner over 6f at the Curragh in June, Aidan O'Brien's charge then cruised into contention in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes before finding the 7f trip just beyond her, but she can resume winning ways back sprinting. Stablemate True Love is not out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Beautify 2nd Royal Fixation 3rd True Love

Listed winner Wise Approach found further improvement to finish third in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville. Representing last year's winning yard, he will likely prove hard to stop, but a chance is taken on THE PUBLICAN'S SON. Thrown in at the deep end when contesting a Group 3 at the Curragh on his debut, Joseph O'Brien's charge caught the eye, weaving through runners to finish a strong second, so he may well prove competitive at this level. Coppull and Hilitany are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Publicans Son 2nd Wise Approach 3rd Coppull

Champion jockey elect Oisin Murphy rode Treble Tee and FORT GEORGE to their most recent victories, but the fact he is on the latter might be a clue in itself. He's 9lb higher than for last month's Newbury triumph but given the rate at which he is progressing it might not halt further improvement. He is narrowly preferred to Fifth Column, who could be a Group horse in waiting, having landed valuable handicaps on the July Course and York over the summer. Stablemate Westridge is another to note, along with recent Goodwood winner Tribal Chief, and Boiling Point, who represents last year's winning connections. Others to consider include the likes of Erzindjan, Great Chieftain and Real Gain.
Prediction : 1st Fort George 2nd Fifth Column 3rd Treble Tee

GWEN JOHN struck the woodwork in a valuable nursery at Doncaster recently and is likely to progress further over 7f. She is taken to score off 4lb higher, but Beverley maiden winner Secret Echo looks a big threat, even allowing for the fact that she is 1lb out of the handicap on her nursery debut. Similar comments apply to Chepstow scorer Quiescent, while the hat-trick seeking Just Call Me Angel appeals as another leading contender.
Prediction : 1st Gwen John 2nd Secret Echo 3rd Just Call Me Angel

ACT OF KINDNESS fetched a staggering 3,700,000gns purchase at the sales, but perhaps for good reason as her pedigree is laden with Group 1 winners. The daughter of Siyouni gets the vote ahead of fellow debutant Shady Dame, whose dam California scored first time out before landing the Lille Langtry as a four-year-old. Cherry Baker outran odds of 50-1 to finish a highly encouraging second at Sandown last time out, and she can prove that was no fluke.
Prediction : 1st Act Of Kindness 2nd Shady Dame 3rd Cherry Baker

There are plenty of flashy pedigrees being showcased and the betting should prove informative. However, it is OTTOMAN EMPRESS that gets the vote. As her name suggests, she is a half-sister to the classy Ottoman Fleet, who has registered some of his most notable successes on the Rowley Mile. A 550,000gns purchase, there is plenty recommend her on paper. Golden Orbit and Summer In Paris are others that need to be monitored in the market, while Zabeel Flower sets the form standard.
Prediction : 1st Ottoman Empress 2nd Golden Orbit 3rd Summer In Paris

INDIAN SPRINGS looks a smart prospect. A C&D maiden winner in April before following up at Haydock in July, this looks a natural stepping stone for the son of Too Darn Hot, for all that an opening mark of 96 doesn't leave much room for error. Those with more experience such as Mr Chaplin and Zoulu Chief can make this a good test, while Completely Random and Aalto are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Indian Springs 2nd Mr Chaplin 3rd Zoulu Chief
