UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

The experience that Rocket Boots has puts him in a good position, but James Owen's colt could prove to be vulnerable to some well-bred newcomers. Preference is for MRAIR, who is closely related to plenty of winners and he went so well at a recent breeze-up sale that connections parted with 880,000 pounds to purchase him. Al Hudaiba is the first foal out of a mare who won on debut as a juvenile, while Imperial Nation cost 150,000gns last year.
Prediction : 1st Mrair 2nd Al Hudaiba 3rd Imperial Nation

QUEEN'S COMPANION chased home two exciting prospects at Newbury in October and that form gives the Royal filly a big chance in receipt of weight from her main rivals. The form of Bayaann's Lingfield win in November has been well advertised since and William Haggas' colt should not be discounted. Quartermaster has a similar profile and is another with strong claims, while Bemersyde and Tales Of Wisdom complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Queens Companion 2nd Bayaann 3rd Quartermaster

All of these have claims, but preference is for MARNIER. The son of Saxon Warrior only found one too good at Southwell a few weeks ago and this return to turf may see him earn another victory. Topteam failed to fire at Epsom recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while Pride Of Donegal edges out Master Vintner to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Marnier 2nd Topteam 3rd Pride Of Donegal

Mr Macartney had Turnstile back in third when scoring over 5f at Leicester, while O'gorman struck over 6f at Kempton, with Duidin not far behind. However, both of those recent winners are penalised and the newcomer MIRZIMAAN is taken to make the most of the weight concession. George Boughey's colt hails from the family of brilliant sprinter Battaash and may well prove good enough at the first time of asking.
Prediction : 1st Mirzimaan 2nd Mr Macartney 3rd Ogorman

CRAZEE ICON has returned the losing favourite in all four starts in handicaps so far. However, it's not for want of trying and her determined second at Windsor last time strongly suggests Andrew Balding's filly can bring that frustrating run to an end. Tamzan has a bit to find with the selection on Windsor running but could still make her presence felt, while the unexposed Safe Harbor has more scope than the likes of Bearin Up and Borderline Madness.
Prediction : 1st Crazee Icon 2nd Tamzan 3rd Safe Harbor

A Major Payne is still looking for his first win after finding one too good at Yarmouth. BEACH POINT finished practically upsides him when third in the same contest and, given he scored off a similar mark at Sandown last term, the son of Blue Point is taken to turn the tables with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Caph Star returns to turf with a shout and could prove the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Beach Point 2nd A Major Payne 3rd Caph Star

Gizmo failed to supplement his debut victory when last of three at Epsom in September, but he takes a drop back in distance and could have a say on his handicap bow. Just A Girl remains on a workable figure and is respected, but WE'RE GOOSERS might be worth another chance. A disappointing favourite when only sixth over a mile here last month, Hugo Palmer's colt now has Oisin Murphy booked and looks ready to make amends.
Prediction : 1st Were Goosers 2nd Gizmo 3rd Just A Girl

Nebulon has shown ability in his three starts in maiden company and has been gelded since his third at Newcastle. Ecclefechan didn't get the best of luck at Ripon, but the one who appeals most is SOUTHERN WARRIOR. The son of Cotai Glory could only manage third at Kempton in March and now makes his debut for the Olly Williams yard. This is his first appearance on the grass and he could make it a winning one.
Prediction : 1st Southern Warrior 2nd Nebulon 3rd Ecclefechan
