UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

TIMELY AFFAIR has been a model of consistency in 2026 and returned to turf with a solid third at Yarmouth. Despite a 2lb rise for that effort, William Knight's gelding has a decent opportunity to gain a third career success. Gladiadora sports a tongue-tie for the first time after a below-par effort, also at Yarmouth, and she is entitled to bounce back from that display based on her form prior. Siam Fox and King Of Charm head the remainder after fighting out the finish at the Norfolk venue last time.
Prediction : 1st Timely Affair 2nd Gladiadora 3rd Siam Fox

AL HUDAIBA was bidding to follow up his debut success on the Rowley Mile when showing signs of greenness and unseating his rider at Yarmouth in the closing stages. He would have likely won on that occasion, suggesting he is an above-average type, and gets the chance to put things right here. Down To You Kid is likely to be in the mix after a promising third on debut at Newbury, while Love Rome, a 120,000-euro purchase at the Goffs Orby sale, commands respect being a half-brother to a Group 2-placed juvenile.
Prediction : 1st Al Hudaiba 2nd Down To You Kid 3rd Love Rome

MOREEDD is from an excellent family his trainer knows extremely well being a half-brother to 1000 Guineas heroine Elmalka and Sallaal, who appears to be Group class judged on his recent impressive victory at Epsom. Also a three-parts brother to the globetrotter Benbatl, he got off the mark at the second time of asking at Nottingham and is likely to have plenty more to offer. Cockade won nicely at Windsor and has to be a huge threat, along with Alfaraz, who bids to bounce back after being turned over at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Moreedd 2nd Cockade 3rd Alfaraz

EXPERT AGENT won over 6f on the Rowley Mile last month and although upped a prohibitive 6lb by the handicapper, Jack Callan claims 3lb back from the saddle giving him every chance. Bintola showed improvement to win on her handicap debut at Windsor and has to be of interest, despite 7lb more, with improvement likely after her first start in seven months. Sea Cookie also makes the shortlist on his handicap bow after winning a maiden at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Expert Agent 2nd Bintola 3rd Sea Cookie

A small but competitive field with Sixpack likely to prove popular after winning over this trip at Catterick off 3lb lower last time out. However, if the race gets tactical he could lack the pace needed, and the nod goes to DOJIN. Sean Woods' four-year-old loves a scrap and if she takes to the turf after two wins at Kempton this year, she could come out on top. Roadlesstravelled is interesting if he can now translate his hurdles form to the Flat at the fourth attempt.
Prediction : 1st Dojin 2nd Sixpack 3rd Roadlesstravelled

Zoustar Dreams has to be respected following back-to-back wins in recent weeks, but she is now on a career-high mark and faces a tougher test. As a result, preference is for VENTANA, who has improved with every start to date and her latest second at Windsor suggests that a rating of 70 should be workable on her handicap bow. Mortubo had plenty in hand at Bath and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ventana 2nd Zoustar Dreams 3rd Mortubo

A winner at Haydock in April, GOOD EARTH was not beaten far off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last week and that form gives the veteran a big chance in this company. Coyy was not disgraced in a valuable event at Epsom a couple of weeks ago and is another with strong claims, while Tuscan Point and Court Drive complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Good Earth 2nd Coyy 3rd Tuscan Point
