UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

SCOMMESSA SICURA has shown enough to suggest she can win at this level. She followed her promising debut at Yarmouth with an even better effort when runner-up at Newbury and this extra half-furlong should suit Andrew Balding's Cracksman filly. A half-sister to a Group 3 winner among others, Magic Show represents last year's winning yard and is worth a close look, while Celestia, Carpe Portus and Musical Times are other newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Scommessa Sicura 2nd Magic Show 3rd Celestia

The Gosdens have won four of the last six renewals and SUPERIOR CHOICE may well defy a penalty. The son of Dubawi beat a subsequent winner in fine style at Leicester on his reappearance and looks one to keep on the right side of. Act Of Generosity has plenty to find with the selection, so Hatteen rates the main danger based on this season's placed efforts at Nottingham and Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Superior Choice 2nd Hatteen 3rd Act Of Generosity

The soft ground took its toll on CHERRY COBBLER in the closing stages at Goodwood last time. He's better judged on his impressive success on the Rowley Mile here in May and Stuart Williams' charge looks worthy of another chance on that evidence now back on a faster surface. Stenmark finished a close third at Yarmouth when looking to break his duck on the turf. He could land a blow and is preferred to Dapper Guest.
Prediction : 1st Cherry Cobbler 2nd Stenmark 3rd Dapper Guest

PHYSIQUE produced his best effort for a while when runner-up at Beverley at the end of last month and a repeat of that performance may well suffice, especially with the handicapper leaving him on the same mark. Best Rate finished third behind a well-handicapped rival when returning to turf at Newbury last week and has to enter the reckoning. Great Mates completes the shortlist in a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Physique 2nd Best Rate 3rd Great Mates

Hard To Believe was disappointing when sent off favourite for a York handicap last month, but can't be written off yet. Connections of Outflank reach for first-time blinkers, which appears to be the right move based on his third at Nottingham, although OUTBACK LEGEND is preferred. An opening mark of 80 doesn't seem to be unduly harsh for the son of Australia after his win in a Haydock maiden and the manner of that victory suggested a big galloping track would play to his strengths.
Prediction : 1st Outback Legend 2nd Hard To Believe 3rd Outflank

Charlie Appleby utlilises the services of Zac Lloyd for FORT ROCK and that may prove to be a shrewd move. Despite losing his unbeaten record when third on his handicap debut at the Guineas meeting, the addition of cheekpieces for the first time can bring about more improvement from the son of Wootton Bassett. Magnatura ran a promising race on his return to action at Newbury and is entitled to step forward. Others for the shortlist include Release The Storm, Exposure and Stem.
Prediction : 1st Fort Rock 2nd Magnatura 3rd Release The Storm

SAFE HARBOR has found one too good the last twice, most recently over an extended mile at Nottingham, and she is just 2lb higher. With a similar performance, she will prove a tough nut to crack. Malika has shown some ability in her three career starts so far and could take a step forward on her handicap bow, while Jamie Sommers is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Safe Harbor 2nd Malika 3rd Jamie Sommers

Spirit Of Jenny hasn't finished outside the top two in any of her three appearances this year and is likely to be on the premises again, but it's NORTHCLIFF who makes the most appeal. The six-year-old was victorious over 7f at Chepstow last month and can make a winning start for the in-form Ross Burdon yard. Pontefract scorer Fiscal Policy is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Northcliff 2nd Spirit Of Jenny 3rd Fiscal Policy
