UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

The progressive BRUSSELS posted a personal best with a tongue-tie added when a close second in the Middle Park over 6f here. Having led that Group 1 event a furlong out, dropping down to the minimum trip looks well worth exploring. Flying Childers winner Revival Power is also flourishing and her proven speed will be a big asset. Oisin Murphy switching to her stable companion Argentine Tango is intriguing, while Spicy Marg is surely better than she managed in the Nunthorpe and reverting to her own age group could prompt a revival.
Prediction : 1st Brussels 2nd Revival Power 3rd Spicy Marg

The highly-regarded MUBASIMAH looks an exciting prospect for Andrew Balding to go to war with next season. The daughter of Frankel impressed when she made every yard of the running to account for Shady Dame on her debut in a C&D maiden and could have the raw talent to cope with this higher level. Classic Cuvee's Doncaster breakthrough success has a solid appearance and she also looks a key player. Calendar Girl was a ready winner of a big sales race at the same venue and is another must for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mubasimah 2nd Classic Cuvee 3rd Calendar Girl

The presence of Audience virtually assures this will be run at a good gallop. That scenario would be ideal for COSMIC YEAR, who won the King Charles II Stakes over C&D in May and has been highly tried since. His second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas is a solid yardstick and a replication of that form could suffice. French raider Beauvatier is effective over this trip and is another likely to be pushing the pace so should be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Cosmic Year 2nd Audience 3rd Beauvatier

As seen again last Sunday at ParisLongchamp, Aidan O'Brien has been dominant with his two-year-olds this season and there is every reason to suggest that PRECISE can improve again. A determined winner of the Moyglare, that proven Group 1 experience could prove decisive in landing her trainer a record seventh Fillies' Mile. Legacy Link is bred in the purple, with her dam a sister to Frankel, and showed distinct improvement from her first to her second start when scoring easily at Haydock, but she will need to step up again. An unlucky fourth when slowly away and short of room at a crucial stage in the Natalma Stakes at Woodbine, Dance To The Music should appreciate a return home. Queen Of Hawaii is another to consider following a taking success in Group 3 company at the Curragh.
Prediction : 1st Precise 2nd Legacy Link 3rd Queen Of Hawaii

RESPOND caught the eye when rallying late for third over 1m2f at Doncaster and, as a son of Ghaiyyath, stepping up in trip is likely to suit. Oisin Murphy returning to the saddle certainly won't hinder his chances and Andrew Balding's gelding is preferred to Dangerman, who is worth another go at this trip after giving that impression when scoring twice at Sandown. Raised 6lb for a determined success at the Leger meeting, Munsif must enter calculations, while Yabher has each-way claims on his victory at Sandown in July.
Prediction : 1st Respond 2nd Dangerman 3rd Munsif

ACT OF KINDNESS returned a beaten favourite here on last month's debut, but still displayed plenty of ability in finishing third. She'll know more now and Charlie Appleby has sent out the winner of this contest five times since 2019. Hatour is a half-sister to a couple of Group 2 winners in Australia and it would be no surprise to see her feature. La Mer Noire and Velvet Goldmine are other newcomers of interest.
Prediction : 1st Act Of Kindness 2nd Hatour 3rd La Mer Noire

SAND GAZELLE came up just short when second in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time. However, that effort looks stronger in hindsight given the third has subsequently won a Group 1 contest in France, and the daughter of Frankel gets another chance. Skellet tries her luck over a longer trip having placed over a mile in a Group 3 at Sandown, while Falakeyah enters calculations on her victory in the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes here back in May.
Prediction : 1st Sand Gazelle 2nd Skellet 3rd Falakeyah
