8:15 Newbury Tips

No comment made

Strike is in stall number 2, which is a good draw for this 7-year-old gelding rated 75, running over 7 furlongs. He is trained by James G Portman and ridden by Jack Callan, with 24 career runs showing a 12.5% win rate and 25% place rate. Strike was narrowly beaten by a length at Salisbury last time over 6 furlongs and steps up in trip here. He is consistent on fast ground and in good form, making him a solid each-way chance with a decent pace expected.

The 4yo has been ridden by apprentice riders in his three runs this year, three near misses and good RPR ratings. The form of his previous race looks solid. Runner-up last time out and 5L clear of the rest. Good jockey Rossa Ryan now takes over in the saddle and he can get a little bit extra out of the selection.

Wasn't beaten far when finishing fifth over today's trip on the AW at Kempton last month and improved to win over the same trip on turf at Doncaster eight days ago. William Buick in good form recently. Should be involved at the finish.

Kept on inside the final furlong over a mile in a Class 4 on soft ground at Goodwood earlier this month. The ease in grade to Class 5, drop in trip to 7 furlongs and the quicker ground appeal.

Been running with merit @ class 4 level of late and is very well treated in this class 5 off dropping mark of 74. Is well drawn today, pieces on first time, good jockey back up and in hands of a very shrewd dual trainer, making current 9/1 solid Ew value here.

SILVER TRUMPET has run well when fresh previously and the yard are enjoying a good spell with confidence likely high. This experienced four year old has had wind-surgery which could make him effective on his return and he could be the best value lining up tonight.

If money comes for this one, it becomes a stronger bet. The last two runs have been on turf where she has run well without much luck in running. Given too much to do last time. Could be a sneaky play here.

Sean Levey has the ride on Tintoretto, who is trained by Tom Ward. He has this ten-year-old as his only runner at his local track, as he trains at Upper Lambourn. Tintoretto has not been seen for over 446 days but possibly could go well fresh, as ground conditions are up his street for a successful outing. His rating of 73 can be seen as a rating that can see him being well capable of going forward.
