UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

FLANN SUNNA appeared to improve for the drop to 5f when a close third in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last month and a repeat of that performance may well be good enough to take this contest. In The Black was not far behind the selection when fifth that day and could pose the biggest threat. Marco Polo struggled in the Middle Park but should not be discounted, while Fast Track and Mussab are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Flann Sunna 2nd In The Black 3rd Marco Polo

Nuit D'eclair has been running well in defeat at this level of late and merits plenty of respect. That said, she could be vulnerable once again and a chance can be taken with GOLDEN RING, who has improved with every start to date and bolted up in a Dundalk maiden a week ago. Sweltering is another recent impressive maiden winner to consider, while Miss Kodi and Siena Storm should not be written off.
Prediction : 1st Golden Ring 2nd Nuit Declair 3rd Sweltering

All of these have claims, but none more so than FLORA OF BERMUDA. Andrew Balding's mare proved that she stays this far when second to More Thunder in the Park Stakes at Doncaster a month ago and she may even have more improvement left to come over this trip. Never So Brave has yet to show his very best this year but should not be written off in this company, while Time To Turn is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Flora Of Bermuda 2nd Never So Brave 3rd Time To Turn

The unbeaten MUSICAL TIMES is difficult to oppose. Charlie Appleby's dual novice winner returned the impressive winner of the Group 2 May Hill Stakes when upped to a mile at Doncaster last month and the daughter of Lope De Vega could prove a cut above the opposition. Rogue Passion was a Group 2 winner at Longchamp and the runner-up, Amusingly, has since boosted the form. She is the main danger, with the Listed winner Forbidden Fire preferred to Lex Victoria and Haven of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Musical Times 2nd Rogue Passion 3rd Forbidden Fire

Turty Tree narrowly beat Decade Of Time in a tough handicap at Ascot last month, while third-placed Archers Bay has shaped well in Listed company here since. That trio are hard to separate, with Study Of Words making more appeal having been gelded since finishing second at Ascot during the summer. That said, a chance is taken on the less exposed LIBERATE. Harry Eustace's charge beat a subsequent winner at Kempton on his first attempt at 1m4f and could prove better than his mark.
Prediction : 1st Liberate 2nd Study Of Words 3rd Turty Tree

The consistent Forty Years On has been in fine fettle over 7f and has to be of interest in this grade, as does The Prettiest Star. Dance In The Storm could go also well, but MIDNIGHT TANGO gets another chance fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. Not at her best in Listed company of late, Ed Walker's filly was only beaten a neck in a Group 3 sprint at Ascot in May and a repeat effort would see her bang there at the finish.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Tango 2nd Forty Years On 3rd The Prettiest Star

A switch to aggressive tactics saw Naga make all in a Listed contest at Yarmouth last month and another bold is forecast. However, the Gosdens' filly may find this step up in class more difficult to dominate and Sceptre Fillies' Stakes runner-up TOULEEN edges the vote. The daughter of Lope De Vega has shaped as if this step up in distance could unlock some potential and she holds leading claims judged on the official ratings. On Message and Legacy Link are others of note.
Prediction : 1st Touleen 2nd Naga 3rd On Message

BINTOLA looked to improve on her first attempt over 7f when finishing third over C&D last month. A 1lb ease in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the three-year-old and a second career victory may be on the horizon. Reopposing fifth Nanoscience was only a length behind the selection and she must enter the reckoning, while better is expected from Waistcoat, who has looked in need of this trip of late.
Prediction : 1st Bintola 2nd Nanoscience 3rd Waistcoat
