5:58 Newbury Tips

Think this is a little easier than races competed in of late. Has been running well lately, with York third a good effort. Having won over this course last year, can go close.

Turf is a bit of an unknown. Very good on the all-weather. Second last time out, just denied; winner went on and won again. Cheekpieces on today could squeeze a bit more out.

Media Legend is lightly raced and had a long absence to overcome in his first run back in a Class 3 at this track. He should be fitter now, is down in class, and his trainer is in flying form.

Lyra Lea won her recent race at Sandown over 7f. She is in good form, winning by a good length. All season she has been impressive. In her last three starts she has been 2nd twice and had a recent win, with strong career victories and a top jockey.

Lightning Polka won on debut last year but failedto build on that in Group 3 and Listed company. Recent runs in handicap company have been more promising and now she is rated under 80 and down in grade, she could get back to winning ways.
