UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

Having shaped better than the bare form when eighth in a class 2 maiden at Goodwood, Walkin On The Moon is forecast to prove more competitive in these calmer waters. Although Richard Spencer's colt isn't taken lightly, it could be worth chancing stablemate GREAT BALLS O'FIRE. The son of Too Darn Hot fetched 135,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to several smart types. Fellow newcomer One For Bruce is another to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Great Balls OFire 2nd Walkin On The Moon 3rd One For Bruce

Archduke Ferdinand lost little in defeat when coming home in second over C&D last week and must enter calculations in his current vein of form. That said, he is 8lb higher than last month's triumph at Redcar, which may leave the door open for the down-in-class PILU. Roger Teal's three-year-old found himself too far back on his latest eighth over 5f at Glorious Goodwood and better is expected back up in trip. Rajaking and Spring Bloom are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Pilu 2nd Archduke Ferdinand 3rd Rajaking

NAPOLIAN returned to form when denied by a short head at Doncaster recently and compensation could be on the horizon. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks fair and he gets the vote over Royal Bodyguard. Michael Bell's inmate arrives on the back of a solid second at Ffos Las and he's more convincing than Yarmouth winner Guest House, who appears to save his best for that venue.
Prediction : 1st Napolian 2nd Royal Bodyguard 3rd Guest House

PRINCE OF INDIA has been highly tried on his last two starts and may find dropping in class and trip comes at the right time. Having backed up a respectable sixth in the July Cup over C&D by filling the runner-up berth in the Hungerford at Newbury last weekend, he can strike with sights lowered. Elarak and Dubai Bling are feared the most from the older horses. However, Midnight Tango and Words Of Truth have rising profiles and could be bigger dangers if exploiting the weight-for-age allowance.
Prediction : 1st Prince Of India 2nd Midnight Tango 3rd Words Of Truth

NIGHT IN VEGAS is a good advert for the qualification criteria and this 60,000gns purchase, who was pitched into Group 2 company the last twice after cosily winning his first couple of starts, is hard to ignore on a form perspective. With a field of this size, the betting market should produce some solid each-way movers. A Bear Affair, who also drops in class, along with the Newbury Super Sprint winner Zigazig Ah are high on the shortlist, while and the in-form Topaz, Baddaddan and Conciliate all warrant second looks.
Prediction : 1st Night In Vegas 2nd A Bear Affair 3rd Zigazig Ah

With one eye on the Cesarewitch in October, GOBLET OF FIRE can cement his credentials with another bold showing on the Flat. Nicky Henderson's gelding won a heritage handicap on the Rowley Mile on his penultimate start and also ran a blinder to finish third over C&D in a similar event last month. Off just 2lb higher, the six-year-old has the most highly appealing profile. Arqoob edged out Sixpack over 1m4f here three weeks ago but is 2lb worse off and might struggle to uphold that form over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Goblet Of Fire 2nd Sixpack 3rd Arqoob

Lara Antipova ran well when second at Ascot off the same mark and she can get into the mix once more with first-time cheekpieces applied. Diomed Duke has been upped 5lb for winning a lesser contest at Lingfield and may have to settle for a place, leaving TIVA as the suggestion. She won in this grade at Musselburgh last time and was value for more than the official margin and has every chance of following up.
Prediction : 1st Tiva 2nd Lara Antipova 3rd Diomed Duke
