UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

DEL MARO, Point Of Law and Galiyan all met in the Queen's Vase where the former came off best. Charlie Appleby's gelding was only beaten a nose that day and with no obvious reason as to why that form should be reversed, he can come out on top. Alderman finished fifth in the Derby and looks tailor made for another step up in trip and even Nil Bua Gan Dua can't be ruled out with Ryan Moore taking over in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Del Maro 2nd Point Of Law 3rd Galiyan

York maiden winner Inner City Blues is the real unknown quantity pitched immediately into a Group contest but Charlie Appleby did saddle the favourite to no avail in this 12 months ago, and it might pay to err on the side of proven Pattern-class form in ADAAY OF SCARLETT. Two from two before filling the runner-up spot in the National Stakes and Coventry, he's still a horse with bags of potential and can gain his just reward. Hickory Lad is next best.
Prediction : 1st Adaay Of Scarlett 2nd Inner City Blues 3rd Hickory Lad

A few to consider and it might be that RED SPELLS DANGER can turn the tables on his York conqueror Thunder Call. Tim Easterby's charge, like the latter, had been on a steep upward curve prior to that clash on the Knavesmire and a 2lb swing in the weights could allow him to edge it on this occasion. Calico Blue finished fourth in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse and merits the utmost respect as a result, whilst others to note include Sea Cookie and Pilu.
Prediction : 1st Red Spells Danger 2nd Thunder Call 3rd Calico Blue

Nine-time Group 1 winner Rebel's Romance justified odds-on favouritism at Meydan when last seen in February and sets the standard for the others to aim at with an official rating of 122. However, he might give way to the younger legs of CONVERGENT. Karl Burke's colt overcame traffic problems to beat Tenability (third) on his seasonal return in the John Porter at Newbury prior to hating soft ground in the Coronation Cup last time. It's easy to put a line through that effort and it would be no surprise to see him produce a big display to record his second triumph at this level.
Prediction : 1st Convergent 2nd Rebels Romance 3rd Tenability

Scommessa Sicura has found one too good in each of her last three outings, including over C&D latest, and she may fill that spot again, but this time behind PEACEFUL CHARM. The daughter of Dubawi cost 2,000,000 euros as a yearling and is bred to be very smart, so it would come as no surprise to see her start repaying that hefty fee at the first time of asking. Madam Secretary finished an encouraging third at Listowel in May and should build on that effort.
Prediction : 1st Peaceful Charm 2nd Scommessa Sicura 3rd Madam Secretary

It was hard not to be impressed by MORRIS DANCER's return from 311 days off the track to make the frame in the Jersey at Royal Ascot. It's noteworthy that he is the choice of William Buick over fellow Godolphin runner Wild Desert and he looks the one they all have to beat. Shayem took the silver medal home in the German 2000 Guineas in May and will give it a good go from the front, while Oxagon is capable on his day but needs to bounce back to form.
Prediction : 1st Morris Dancer 2nd Shayem 3rd Oxagon

Shipbourne successfully made it two wins from three starts on his return to the fray at Doncaster last month and has to be taken seriously off an opening figure of 88. The hat-trick seeking Priapos will have his supporters and understandably so, but SPANISH VOICE could retain his unbeaten record at Newmarket. With the most recent of those victories coming over C&D and the form already working out well, Andrew Balding's colt can defy his 2lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Voice 2nd Shipbourne 3rd Priapos
