UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Given the form of ESNA's maiden success at Sandown was boosted when the runner-up landed the Feilden Stakes here last month, while her most recent start was a commendable fourth in the Marcel Boussac at Longchamp, the daughter of Starman readily boasts the most convincing profile. Sacred Ground is second choice after a creditable second at this level over a mile here when last seen, while Lilt and Maldives, who cost 2,900,000gns as a yearling, are potential improvers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Esna 2nd Sacred Ground 3rd Lilt

Although CATHEDRAL hasn't managed to add to the maiden success registered on her racecourse debut, the daughter of Too Darn Hot ran consistently well in some high-profile events in the intervening period. Having previously got the better of the likes of Chantilly Lace, Survie and Falakeyah in past encounters, there is a lot like about her chance here. The first-named of that trio of old rivals is still of low-milage and is tentatively forwarded as the biggest danger to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Cathedral 2nd Chantilly Lace 3rd Survie

Dramatic Star is very capable of a bold showing and could be hard to beat if first-time cheekpieces draw improvement now he is back on turf. Subsequent and Align The Stars also rate highly after returning to winning ways last time and are musts for the shortlist. Preference, however, is for MANY MEN, who progressed nicely last year and could provide a bit of value, with this representing a drop in class.
Prediction : 1st Many Men 2nd Dramatic Star 3rd Subsequent

One of these fillies can add their name to an illustrious roll of honour in what looks a mouth-watering renewal of this Classic. Last year's Cheveley Park heroine True Love had no issues stepping up to 7f in a Group 3 at Leopardstown, suggesting she ought to be even better over the mile. Even so, O'Brien's main hopes appear to rest with champion juvenile PRECISE, who capped off a star-studded campaign with success in the Fillies' Mile over track and trip. She can take all before her this season, including this, but we've seen a number of hard-luck stories down the years and there is no shortage of extremely smart horses waiting to capitalise. Of those, Rockfel second The Prettiest Star is appealing, as is Venetian Sun, whilst it would be extremely unwise to rule out the likes of Abashiri and shock Nell Gwyn victor Azleet.
Prediction : 1st Precise 2nd True Love 3rd The Prettiest Star

A 550,000gns purchase and a half-sister to the talented Mill Stream, Crownbreaker makes considerable appeal ahead of her racecourse bow. There is no shortage of talent etched into Efsixteen's pedigree either and she's worth considering for a yard in flying form, whilst the booking of Ryan Moore aboard the Richard Hughes-trained Lazurite makes her one of many to be interested in. That being said, previous experience could be vital, not least C&D form, so with that in mind CALL ME TOMORROW gets the vote. Richard Hannon's filly was only beaten a head into second on her debut last month and is probably the one to beat given natural improvement.
Prediction : 1st Call Me Tomorrow 2nd Crownbreaker 3rd Efsixteen

NAPA finished an encouraging fourth at Newbury on debut, considering he showed signs of greenness and failed to get a clear run. The son of Naval Crown should be a lot wiser for that experience and is taken to turn the tables with third-placed Jaan Ki Tukri. The latter is also likely to step up for that initial run and should prove competitive, while Ryan Moore's presence on the newcomer Agamemnon takes the eye.
Prediction : 1st Napa 2nd Jaan Ki Tukri 3rd Agamemnon

Study Of Words bolted up in a weak maiden here back in October. However, he's fitted with cheekpieces for this handicap debut and SAHARA KING makes more appeal. The latter has a recent outing under his belt, having finished a close fifth in a decent novice race at Newbury last month, and Richard Hannon's charge could prove the one to side with. Crockham Heath and Gatehouse made winning handicap debuts on the all-weather with the former preferred.
Prediction : 1st Sahara King 2nd Study Of Words 3rd Crockham Heath
