UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Jimmy Speaking is on a roll and is likely to be popular in his hat-trick bid, while Helm Rock is consistent and suited to this type of event. However, there is still an element of the unknown about TWISTING PHYSICS, who was on the back of a 310-day break when he returned at Newbury last month. Likely to have come on for the run and open to improvement regarding distance, Oliver Cole's low-mileage five-year-old has compelling claims. Mr Baloo is a more adventurous each-way option.
Prediction : 1st Twisting Physics 2nd Jimmy Speaking 3rd Helm Rock

JOLIVETTE is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Jonquil and has plenty going for her on paper so narrowly heads the shortlist. Ambience, who cost 850,000gns as a foal, is also bred to win races and is an intriguing contender. However, the application of a tongue-tie for her debut is a slight worry and the betting should be informative where this daughter of Frankel is concerned. Queencard and Topaz are names for the notebook on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Jolivette 2nd Ambience 3rd Queencard

GOLDEN REDEMPTION was badly impeded twice when second over C&D 15 days ago and can gain compensation. Silver Ghost was just behind him in third and also rates a key player given she is 3lb better off. However, the less-exposed Forty Years On goes well fresh and she could be a bigger danger with improvement plausible on just her third start in a handicap. Son also appeals after two runner-up efforts for his new yard.
Prediction : 1st Golden Redemption 2nd Forty Years On 3rd Silver Ghost

TABBY returned from an extended spell on the sidelines to go close on her debut for James Tate, before digging deep to get off the mark at Southwell. There is no reason why she won't handle the turf and she can continue to make up for lost time. Expert Agent has held his form well this year and found only one too strong when attempting to supplement a Kempton triumph at Windsor. Arantes Nascimento is probably better on the all-weather but arrives in winning form, as does shock Yarmouth scorer Izzy Fast.
Prediction : 1st Tabby 2nd Expert Agent 3rd Arantes Nascimento

SHABAB AL AHLI was only beaten a length into fourth in a traditionally strong Newbury affair and this year's contest already looks up to scratch, with the winner going on to land the Lingfield Derby Trial and the runner-up occupying the same position in Listed company. So impressive on his Southwell debut before that, Charlie Appleby's colt remains a very nice prospect. Turty Tree was one of those left trailing in Water To Wine's wake at Newbury, but is dangerous in receipt of weight from the previous winners. Koala Rose showed abundant promise on her debut at Wolverhampton last year and requires more than a cursory glance.
Prediction : 1st Shabab Al Ahli 2nd Turty Tree 3rd Koala Rose

The Joker tried to make all before finishing third at Sandown and with the Jane Chapple-Hyam horses in good form, he may hang on for a place. Guest House finished well to win by over a length at Yarmouth and if he gets the extra two furlongs, he can get into the mix but EDDAARI is preferred. A comfortable Newcastle mile maiden winner and bred for this trip, he could prove too good for these, despite having to carry top weight.
Prediction : 1st Eddaari 2nd Guest House 3rd The Joker

WRYDCROFT is looking for his hat-trick after wins over this trip at Southwell and Doncaster, finishing well in the first and making all in the second. He seems tactically adaptable, which is a bonus, and a rise up the handicap may not be enough to stop him. Kyle McHugh rode a winner over this distance earlier in the month and he can go close on Leicester second Tex. Mickey Mongoose and African Spirit are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wrydcroft 2nd Tex 3rd Mickey Mongoose
