UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

William Haggas has won this twice since 2017 and although Next Of Kin was beaten four lengths at Newbury on her nursery debut, she ran out of racing room and should do better now. The unbeaten POLYXENA has won both her starts at Windsor by narrow margins, staying on strongly over 6f suggesting there is improvement to come over the added distance here, and she could land her hat-trick. Al Samsama might also get involved in the finish if she learns to settle after her solid Goodwood second.
Prediction : 1st Polyxena 2nd Next Of Kin 3rd Al Samsama

Bow Echo won this last season but only time will tell if there is anything of that calibre here. Burning Up is unbeaten after two wins at Haydock and he looks the sort to keep on improving, though further rain would aid his cause. First Law battled on to win again at Haydock and may try to make all, but QUICKEN AWAY is preferred. He won a Goodwood maiden on his second start and could pounce late if he gets a good tow into the final furlong.
Prediction : 1st Quicken Away 2nd Burning Up 3rd First Law

Five of the six runners won on their latest start with Sun Goddess making it four in a row when taking the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh by over six lengths. She is improving race on race and is clearly a class act, but she was a length behind LIBERTANGO in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and George Boughey's filly may be the better suited to 6f. Senorita Bonita and Moonrise are also on the upgrade and could well get involved.
Prediction : 1st Libertango 2nd Sun Goddess 3rd Senorita Bonita

PUSH THE BOAT OUT heads the shortlist after he gamely won the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh. Bearing in mind the runner-up in that race won the Coventry at Royal Ascot, Michael O'Callaghan's unbeaten colt has solid credentials, despite stepping up in grade. Inner City Blues also boasts an unblemished record and must be feared with his yard chasing a third consecutive winner in this race. He cosily held his two rivals when winning the July Stakes at Newmarket. His winning form over 6f makes him more of a danger than the Norfolk Stakes winner, Orthodox, who was well beaten on his first try over this trip in the Prix Morny at Deauville last month.
Prediction : 1st Push The Boat Out 2nd Inner City Blues 3rd Orthodox

John & Thady Gosden certainly know how to prepare one to win this race this and GAVRIEL, who is 2lb well in under a penalty for a ready success at Ascot three weeks ago, is a highly appealing contender for the yard. Gosden senior first won this in 1994 with Halling, who was a shade more experienced but there are similarities in that this son of Frankel is on an upwards curve and should have no issues with the trip. Erzindjan won a heritage handicap on the Rowley Mile in May and a repeat of that level would see him go close, while the long list of alternatives is spearheaded by Indalo, Crest of Fire and Bourbon Blues.
Prediction : 1st Gavriel 2nd Erzindjan 3rd Indalo

It's very possible that the benefit of experience will help Ozone Friendly go one better than her debut second at Lingfield. However, this is an intriguing maiden and some of the newcomers could be well placed to have a big impact. QUEEN OF THE GULF, who cost 265,000gns as a yearling and is related to a handful of winners, is suggested as the first one to consider, although betting market support for Roger Varian's stable companions Out Late and Miss Jane Hadley would be noteworthy. Via Star is another well-bred debutant to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of The Gulf 2nd Ozone Friendly 3rd Out Late

ADDISON GREY is unexposed over 7f and, having gone well over this trip the last twice, the consistent four-year-old could be tough to deal with here. The hat-trick seeking pair Huscal and Dapper Guest are dangerous to underestimate and are capable of being on the premises. However, Sword Maker is a progressive three-year-old with an attractive profile and it's noteworthy that his connections have earmarked this for the son of Pinatubo's return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Addison Grey 2nd Sword Maker 3rd Huscal
