7:35 Newmarket Tips

Stepping up in trip should unlock further potential for this Frankel offspring. It will continue to improve and should win this today.

The James Owen-trained Asmen Warrior was 2nd on his seasonal debut to Convergent, who has gone on to be beaten a nose in the German Derby and is now rated 112. The 3-year-old Saxon Warrior gelding gets the weight allowance, and off a mark of 85, he must have every chance in this 7-runner C4 handicap.

Won 2 in a row in May over 1m2f on good to firm ground and good to soft. His progress stalled when 4th of 8 at Sandown. He was taking over unexposed horses at the age of 3 years old.

Gaassee returns to a competitive handicap with an appealing profile and a generous price relative to previous form. He's run at higher ratings in stronger company and has shaped like a horse above today's level. He represents solid class resistance. He ran better than the bare result suggests last time, caught in a tactical race where hold-up runners were at a disadvantage. Still, he finished with purpose, suggesting a return to form is imminent. The trainer has a solid record with similar types at Newmarket.
