UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Velvet Vega is a well-bred newcomer representing a stable full of talented fillies, and the daughter of Lope De Vega is well worth a market watch ahead of her debut. However, preference is for EARTH SHOT, who finished a two-length second at Newbury in October on her only start as a juvenile and she still holds an Oaks entry. With that in mind, the Time Test filly gets the vote. Blue Noon and Malika are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Earth Shot 2nd Velvet Vega 3rd Blue Noon

My Love Is King was only beaten a neck over this trip at Newbury last month and will look to add to that here, though a place may be the realistic option. POSEIDON'S WARRIOR wears a hood for the first time after finishing second here last month, and if they help him race closer to the leaders early on he is hard to oppose under Billy Lougnane, while Ancient Egypt can be forgiven his Royal Lodge seventh and may yet outrun his price.
Prediction : 1st Poseidons Warrior 2nd My Love Is King 3rd Ancient Egypt

Fort Rock is hard to handicap accurately after winning his two starts to date by a nose and a head, but he will need further improvement to land the hat-trick. Objector has done nothing wrong by also winning both of his starts on the all-weather, the latest by 11 lengths at Wolverhampton and he seems sensibly handicapped considering, but LAKE COMO gets the nod. Third on his return at Kempton in March, George Boughey's colt could take some stopping here.
Prediction : 1st Lake Como 2nd Objector 3rd Fort Rock

BAY CITY ROLLER ran a fine race in second on his reappearance last year to a subsequent Group 1 winner in Opera Ballo, who recently beat Field Of Gold, and he could be worth chacing here following his last-start success at the top level in Germany. If the penalty and absence get the better of him, then Sunway and Lion's Pride will be there to pounce.
Prediction : 1st Bay City Roller 2nd Sunway 3rd Lions Pride

GOLDEN REDEMPTION might take a bit of beating here if he can improve on a very encouraging comeback run at Kempton, when beaten two lengths into third. This consistent colt performed well on the Rowley Mile last autumn and could be open to even more improvement this year. He gets the nod ahead of C&D winner Elarak, Leadman and Shah.
Prediction : 1st Golden Redemption 2nd Elarak 3rd Leadman

CERRO BLANCO looked a really nice prospect when scoring over track and trip on his debut at the Craven meeting. He's up in class now and in against more experienced rivals, but the gut feeling is that he's up to the task for leading connections while open to stacks of improvement. Stellar Sunrise was back to winning ways on his reappearance in handicap company at Newbury and is expected to go well, as is Saber Strike.
Prediction : 1st Cerro Blanco 2nd Stellar Sunrise 3rd Saber Strike

Runner-up on all three starts so far in maiden/novice company, Paradise Walk is a big player now sent handicapping for the first time tried in first-time blinkers. She should go well, but preference is for LADY ROXBY, who produced a couple of fine efforts in defeat last autumn, including a neck second here, and may improve on her comeback third at Kempton. Others to note include Powdering and Lady Kodiac.
Prediction : 1st Lady Roxby 2nd Paradise Walk 3rd Powdering
