1:55 Newbury Tips

Kinswoman drops back into her winning grade in handicaps after forays at Group and listed level and that should ensure that she goes close here.

Rhythm N Hooves is well treated from a career-low mark. His recent runs suggest he retains plenty of ability, with proven course form and a useful weight advantage strengthening his claims.

This experienced runner enters in peak condition, following a career-high 3rd in a demanding Goodwood handicap. Now stepping down to Class 3 and racing off a steady mark, she is set to contend for a podium position once more at reasonable odds.

RIVER SPEY ran a lot better than 8th place suggests at Goodwood time, and must surely run well back in these calmer waters. Back in early June, Fitri Hay's sprinter battled on really well to win at Windsor on fast ground, returning a clear career-best. Well beaten at Newmarket the following month but again, I judge that better than it looked, as few got into things from off the pace. This stiffer track will see the leaders coming back and although not obviously well handicapped, this 3-y-o retains scope to improve.

Ran well LTO at Sandown, narrowly beaten by Wheels of Fire. He will enjoy the ground being fast and should use his weight advantage to win.

Ziggys Triton could not be described as consistent, but is very talented on his day. The stable are in top form and a big run is anticipated.

Three runs this year for the 4yo. He has been far too keen in his last two races. He was 4th of 16 at this track on his return this year in a useful contest. He'll 11lb better off now with a good apprentice claiming 5lb. He has been racing over 6f, showing plenty of speed and the drop to 5f could be the answer.

Gained a breakthrough on turf at Goodwood (5f) in May and has remained in good form since. However, this represents a step up in grade, and he'll need to improve to make his mark.
