1:25 Newbury Tips

Was a winner on both of first two starts before finishing a disappointing 5th of 10 when last seen at Newmarket in a Group 2 in September. Likely to go well again on reappearance and should be there or thereabouts.

Three career runs for the 3yo filly. Form: 211. She won a 14-runner Group 3 when last seen, the front two pulling clear; the runner-up has boosted the form. Hopefully some more improvement after a seven-month break. Ryan Moore is now in the saddle, and she ticks the boxes for this Group 3 contest.

Won like a horse with a future on her debut, winning by 5 lengths, going away. The daughter of Pinatubo gets the first-time visor here and can outrun her odds.

Can get amongst the four places. She improved last year, going close in a Group 3 at Newmarket on Good Friday before backing that up with a 3l 4th of 5 in a Group 2 at Longchamp on soft. Has achieved a mark of 100 and can be competitive here.

The fav takes up so much of this market that almost every horse has an EW opportunity at the very least. One that ties into the fav is Zaravina, who ran on well to finish just behind Rose Ghaiyyath. That horse finished 2nd subsequently in the May Hill, just behind 108-rated Aylin, and in doing so beat Moon Target by a couple of lengths. Moon Target then beat today’s fav in her next race. So on balance, to me this price looked way too big to ignore. She’s got a couple of smart horses in the family in Vadamos (120) and Voldango (108 RPR). James Doyle is a fairly rare booking for the trainer; he is 6/10 to place over 7f (4 wins) since 2009.

Won her last start at Kempton by a neck over 1m. The step up in quality will be a test; hence the long odds. But she's far from hopeless with a solid rider in William Buick on board.

Eve Johnson-Houghton has a filly who is beautifully bred and in training with her: Splish Splash, who is by Wootton Bassett and whose dam sire is Scat Daddy. What a pedigree. That can allow her to express herself well, with a big run likely on her seasonal debut.

Following a recent narrow 2nd-place finish in a 1m Class 4 race at Kempton, she has demonstrated consistent performance, including a 7f win in January. With the Karl Burke stable currently in excellent form, it's worth considering her each-way at enticing odds of 28/1.
