16:51 – Zyn In-The-Moment Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a useful little fillies’ novice rather than a throwaway opener, with proven form up against several well-bred debutantes from yards that know exactly what’s required at Newmarket. Scommessa Sicura sets the standard on what we’ve actually seen, having finished second twice and already posting a 92 rating with an 84 Topspeed figure, so she brings the most solid credentials by some margin. Musical Times is the obvious danger on paper for Charlie Appleby, especially given the strength of her market position, while George Boughey, Harry Charlton and Richard Hannon all saddle newcomers worth monitoring closely. Still, in races like this, I tend to side with substance over promise, and the Balding filly’s established level may be enough to fend off the unknowns.
Top Selections
1. Scommessa Sicura – 6/4 with William Hill
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 22 | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 84
She is the one with the hard form on the board and that matters plenty in a 2yo novice over 7f. Two runner-up efforts already give Scommessa Sicura a clear edge for experience, and a mark of 92 sets a proper standard for the newcomers to aim at. The Topspeed of 84 backs up the visual impression that she’s already operating at a useful level. Balding’s juveniles tend to sharpen with racing and Rob Hornby is a good fit for this type, so there’s every chance she improves again. At 6/4, she’s no giveaway, but she is still the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Lady Miranda – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Alec Voikhansky | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want to take on the obvious pair for an each-way angle, Lady Miranda makes more appeal than some of the other once-raced or unraced fillies at the prices. Hannon’s juveniles are often ready enough first time, and in a nine-runner race with three places on offer, 10/1 is the sort of price that makes sense for a stable capable of pitching one in competitively at this level. She doesn’t bring public form, so there is an element of trust involved, but several of these are in the same boat and at least she comes from a yard that regularly lands races of this type. She looks the each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Scommessa Sicura is the win play because she has the strongest achieved form and sets a fair standard on both rating and Topspeed. For a bit more value, Lady Miranda appeals as the each-way option at 10/1 in a race where not all of the market principals have shown their hand yet. Musical Times is the obvious danger, while Carpe Portus and Celestia are respected newcomers.

Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a compact but informative novice, with the market understandably revolving around Superior Choice and Hatteen. The Gosden runner arrives on the back of a winning effort and sets the standard on a mark of 94, while Hatteen has the benefit of experience and has run well in defeat more than once. Act Of Generosity is the interesting unknown after a single start and could step forward for Roger Varian, but he does need to. The other pair, Ragazzo Grandi and Zurna, have plenty to prove on what little we know. In truth, this is not a deep race for the grade, and it may simply come down to whether Superior Choice has the class to confirm the promise of that last-time-out success.
Top Selections
1. Superior Choice – 5/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 4-1 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 73
He is hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. After shaping with promise on debut, Superior Choice took a clear step forward to get off the mark and that 94 rating already gives him a fair edge over these. The Gosden team are always dangerous with this type of improving middle-distance 3-year-old, and a topspeed figure of 73 is another indication that he has achieved more on the clock than his main rivals. Hatteen is solid, but Superior Choice looks the one with a bit more class and upside. At 5/6, he is not a gift, but he is still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in this five-runner race: Superior Choice is the win bet and the only betting recommendation. There is no each-way angle in a field this small. Hatteen is the obvious danger on ratings and consistency, while Act Of Generosity is the one who could improve past expectations if taking a big step forward from his debut.

17:55 – Zyn Pole Position Handicap (Div I)
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper Newmarket handicap rather than a giveaway, with plenty of these arriving with bits of form that make them dangerous without any of them screaming certainty. Stenmark brings the best Topspeed figure in the field and has been knocking on the door, while Miletus has been running well often enough to suggest another big run is coming. Cherry Cobbler is respected after a recent win despite failing to back it up last time, and Eazy On The Eye is interesting carrying just 124lb in a race where several of the principals are tightly matched on ratings. Gallant has the raw ability to get involved too, but he does come here with more questions than answers after a slightly untidy spell. Tricky? Absolutely. But it does look the sort of race where a well-treated hold-up horse can pounce late.
Top Selections
1. Stenmark – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: William Carson | Trainer: Gihan Arnolda | Form: 63-553 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 88
Stenmark makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking a standout, not least because his recent profile is that of a horse holding his form well in similar company. That latest third reads perfectly respectably, and his Topspeed figure of 88 is comfortably the best on offer here, which matters over this sharp, competitive 7f. He is drawn fine in 7, carries a workable 131lb and, unlike a few of these, arrives without the whiff of a leap of faith about him. At 9/2, he looks a fair price rather than a cramped one, and this race may just set up nicely if he can travel into it and use that turn of foot late. Bet: WIN
2. Eazy On The Eye – 9/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Vigors | Trainer: Heather Main | Form: 6-0237 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 85
Eazy On The Eye looks the value angle if you want something at a slightly bigger price. The form figures are solid enough, particularly the 023 sequence before a lesser effort last time, and the important thing here is that he gets in with just 124lb despite racing off the highest rating in the field. That makes him very interesting in handicap terms. His Topspeed mark of 85 says he has the pace for this test, and stall 3 should give Harry Vigors options rather than excuses. At 9/1, he appeals as the each-way play in a race where plenty are closely bunched in the market and not many can claim to be especially well in at the weights. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Stenmark is the win play because he brings the strongest recent speed figure and the most reliable current profile. Eazy On The Eye is the each-way punt at 9/1, with his low weight making him hard to ignore in a compressed handicap. Miletus and Cherry Cobbler are the obvious dangers, while Gallant would not be a shock winner if bouncing back.

18:35 – Zyn Pole Position Handicap (Div II)
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a competitive little nine-runner handicap rather than a race packed with lurking improvers, and that usually means recent race fitness and track position will matter plenty over Newmarket’s 7f. Best Rate arrives with the most persuasive current profile after a string of solid efforts and sets a fair standard off 92, while Physique also comes here in good nick after shaping well on his last two starts. Great Mates is another with obvious claims from stall 1, but he is short enough in a race where a few older handicappers could easily bounce back. Longlai has the best topspeed figure in the field but returns from an absence as an eight-year-old, so there are risks attached. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Best Rate – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Alec Voikhansky | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 4-4643 | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 80
Best Rate is hardly hiding from the assessor, but his recent form is the most solid on offer and this looks the sort of race he can control with professionalism rather than brilliance. He has been knocking on the door in similar company, and that latest third suggests he is ready to cash in when the race falls right. A mark of 92 looks workable judged on his consistency, and Hannon’s runner makes more appeal than most because you know what you are getting. At 11/4 he is no giveaway, but he is the one with the fewest holes in his case and holds strong claims of finally getting his head back in front. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Physique – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Grace McEntee | Trainer: Micky Fenton | Form: 7-0032 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 83
Physique looks the each-way angle in a race where several of these have become a touch exposed. His last two efforts have been encouraging, particularly the most recent second, and he looks like a horse who is running himself back into peak form. The draw in stall 2 should suit if Grace McEntee can keep him handy without getting involved too early, and his topspeed figure says he still retains plenty of ability. He does have to concede weight to a few unexposed-enough rivals, but at 9/2 he makes more appeal than some shorter-priced types because he comes here with momentum and a proven level that is good enough to hit the frame at the very least. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Best Rate is the straightforward win play because he brings the most reliable recent form into a race lacking depth. Physique is the each-way punt at a fairer price, especially with three places on offer in a nine-runner field. Great Mates is the obvious danger from the low draw, while Longlai is interesting if ready after the break.

Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a tidy little three-year-old handicap rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to the unexposed pair Hard To Believe and Outflank. The Balding runner arrives off a Yarmouth win before finding things tougher in better company, while Outflank has done little wrong in three starts and now switches into handicaps off 89. Behind them, Outback Legend is another progressive type after getting off the mark last time, and Battosai is not without interest at the weights if this turns into more of a stamina test. In a six-runner field, tactics will matter, and on this track over 1m4f you want a horse who settles and sees it out strongly. It is not a race loaded with proven substance, but it is a very interesting one.
Top Selections
1. Outflank – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Catton | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 3-33 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 74
Outflank is the one I want on side. He has yet to win, but those three placed efforts read perfectly well for a race of this nature and he looks the type who could take a step forward now handicapping over this longer trip. A mark of 89 is no giveaway, though it is also not excessive for a Gosden-trained colt who has shaped as though 1m4f will suit. The draw in stall 1 should help in a small field, and if Luke Catton can get him into a smooth rhythm, he ought to be finishing stronger than most. At 5/2, he is no steal, but he still holds the most persuasive profile. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Battosai – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Brian Meehan | Form: 5-0524 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 81
Battosai makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where a few of these are priced on upside rather than achievement. He ran well when second before not being disgraced in fourth last time, and his Topspeed figure of 81 is a solid effort in this line-up. The obvious plus is the weight: he gets in with just 127, which could prove handy if this becomes a proper test in the final couple of furlongs. Brian Meehan’s runner is not as fashionable as some of these, but he has a bit more battle-hardened form than one or two of his rivals. Available at 10/1, he looks the value each-way punt for a place at least. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Outflank is the win play because he has the cleanest handicap profile and looks ready for this step up in trip. Battosai is the each-way alternative at a much bigger price, with his weight and solid recent efforts making him attractive in a six-runner race. Hard To Believe is the obvious danger, while Outback Legend is another progressive sort to respect.

19:45 – Zyn Frontrunner Finish Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Newmarket handicap rather than a gift for punters, with a big field, a mix of exposed older milers and several unexposed 3yos trying to nick one from the assessor. Fort Rock is the obvious starting point after shaping well on his return and still looks the one with the most upside for Charlie Appleby, while Stem has the classiest rating in the field but arrives with a bit to prove after two quiet efforts. Arctic Thunder has slipped to a workable mark and makes each-way appeal, while Magnatura and Elan D’Or are lighter-weight 3yos who could easily outrun bigger prices. Spanish Voice and Exposure are respected too, but this feels like the younger legs may have the edge in a race where tactical positioning and a well-timed finish should decide it.
Top Selections
1. Fort Rock – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Zac Lloyd | Trainer: Charlie Appleby | Form: 11-3 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 75
Fort Rock makes plenty of appeal as a 3yo with just four runs under his belt and a profile that still screams improvement. He won his first two starts, then returned with a perfectly solid third after a break, which looked very much like a stepping-stone run rather than the finished article. Off 95 he is hardly thrown in, but in a race full of exposed handicappers I’d rather side with the one who could still be ahead of his mark. Appleby’s team are masters at placing this type, and the 4/1 on offer looks fair rather than flashy. He holds strong claims if building on that comeback.
Bet: WIN
2. Arctic Thunder – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ross Coakley | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 34-076 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 77
Arctic Thunder is the one I want onside each-way because he’s become interesting again after edging down the weights and he is far better than a bare recent sixth might suggest. His mark has eased to 96, he carries just 135, and that topspeed figure of 77 is one of the more convincing pieces of recent evidence among those at this sort of price. Ed Walker’s runner has been contesting decent handicaps without quite getting the breaks, and this straight mile could suit if he settles and is delivered late. At 8/1, with four places on offer, he looks the value each-way punt in a race where plenty have questions to answer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Fort Rock is the win play because he looks the progressive one in a race packed with exposed types. Arctic Thunder is the each-way alternative at a backable price, especially with four places available. The main dangers are Stem if bouncing back, and Magnatura as a lightly weighted 3yo who could easily take a step forward.

20:15 – Zyn Strong Stride Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper three-year-old handicap rather than a weak late-card affair, with several arriving from different angles and not much room for error off these marks. Safe Harbor sets the standard on recent efforts after back-to-back runner-up finishes and his mark of 81 demands respect, while Malika and Hurricane Laughter are the slightly more intriguing types with scope to do better than they have shown so far. Guest House is another with a low weight and a recent win to his name, though he was unable to back it up last time. Jamie Sommers is reliable enough to be thereabouts, but perhaps lacks the upside of a few of these. It is a competitive puzzle, though not an impossible one, and a sharp mile at Newmarket should reward the horse who settles and finishes strongest.
Top Selections
1. Safe Harbor – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Gilligan | Trainer: Marco Botti | Form: 54-322 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 65
Safe Harbor is the percentage call. He has been knocking hard on the door, his last two runs both producing runner-up efforts, and there is nothing in this field with obviously stronger current form. An opening mark in the low 80s has not stopped him being very competitive, and this looks the sort of Class 5 where that consistency ought to count for plenty. He is not thrown in, but he is solid, proven at the trip and looks sure to give you a run for your money. At 7/2, he is not a giveaway, yet he still makes most appeal as the runner with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Phantom Watch – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: Hugo Palmer | Form: 5523-4 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 66
Phantom Watch makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. He returned with a respectable fourth after a break and that should have sharpened him up, especially as his juvenile form suggested a race of this nature was within reach. His figures are honest without being flashy, but a mark of 76 gives him a workable platform and his Topspeed number stacks up perfectly well against the principals. Daniel Tudhope is the kind of booking that catches the eye in a race like this, and if this colt builds on that comeback he can easily outrun 17/2. He is not the most obvious winner, but he looks a sound each-way punt in a race where several are short enough. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Safe Harbor is the win play on the strength of his recent seconds and the fact he brings the most dependable profile into the race. For a bit more value, Phantom Watch appeals as the each-way option at 17/2, especially if the comeback run has brought him on. The obvious dangers are Malika, who could improve for top connections, and Guest House off a light weight.

20:45 – Find Your Zyn Moment Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper end-of-card sprint handicap: big field, plenty with chances and the draw likely to be pored over afterwards. Fiscal Policy arrives here in winning form and is an obvious player from stall 1, while Northcliff and Grand Citadel also come here off the back of victories. Spring Bloom has been knocking loudly at the door, Rebel Path shaped much better last time and Elvetham is one of the more interesting lightweight runners after a string of solid efforts. The trouble is that plenty of these are exposed, several are closely matched on ratings, and luck in running over 6f at Newmarket can be decisive. In other words, it is winnable for a well-handicapped one, but not a race to get too clever in.
Top Selections
1. Fiscal Policy – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: Ruth Carr | Form: 832251 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 72
Fiscal Policy is easy to like after finally getting his head back in front last time, and the overall profile is that of a sprinter who has been holding his form very well. The recent sequence reads consistently, he is berthed in stall 1, and an 82 mark still looks workable in this grade given how competitive he has been. Daniel Tudhope is a notable booking in a race where calm decision-making matters, and at 5/1 he makes more appeal than a few shorter-in-the-market types with shakier recent profiles. In a race full of ifs and buts, he brings the most solid blend of current form and handicapping sense. Bet: WIN
2. Elvetham – 16/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Gilligan | Trainer: Conrad Allen | Form: 713332 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 75
Elvetham looks the each-way value at a chunky 16/1. He has been admirably consistent, with form figures of 713332 suggesting he keeps turning up and running his race, and he does not have much to find on the figures despite carrying only 125. His topspeed of 75 is perfectly respectable for this level and stall 2 could prove handy if the low numbers are favoured. Conrad Allen’s runner is not especially flashy, but that is often no bad thing in a race like this where reliability counts for plenty. He looks the sort to travel well, get cover and pick off beaten horses late, which is exactly what you want from an each-way punt in an 18-runner sprint. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fiscal Policy is the straightforward win play after his latest success and looks the safest option in a messy sprint. Elvetham is the each-way alternative at 16/1, with five places on offer making plenty of appeal for a horse in such dependable form. The main dangers are Spring Bloom, who keeps threatening to win one, and Rebel Path, who has the raw speed figures to get involved if the race falls right.
