Harry Wilson has tipped 18-5 and 11-4 winners at Newbury - find out his remaining tips for the whole card

Our tipster found Stmbol Of Honour and London Gold Cup winner Saddadd

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for seven races on Newbury's card - plus the three races live on ITV from Newmarket . . . 


12.50 Newbury
Sky Sports Racing Aston Park Stakes (Group 3), 1m4f

Harry's tip: King's Gambit

King's Gambit was having just his second go beyond 1m2f when a good fourth behind Rebel's Romance and Huxley Stakes winner The Foxes in the Amir Trophy in Bahrain and looks worth another go, given his other attempt at a mile and half resulted in a half-length defeat to proven Group 1 performer Los Angeles, with St Leger runner-up Illinois a neck ahead in second. He has been gelded since, and with the track and fast ground in his favour, as well as proven ability to go well fresh, this looks a great starting point ahead of bigger targets.

Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At betmgm.co.uk Handicap, 7f

Harry's tip: Leadman

Leadman had some notable form for Andrew Balding, including chasing home subsequent Group 3 winner Epictetus on his debut and finishing a close fourth off this mark on ground that was probably too soft in a handicap at Sandown last year. He was a good second on his stable debut for David O'Meara at Newcastle two weeks ago, when not ideally placed in a steadily run race, and should build on that effort here.

1.25 Newbury
Highclere Castle Gin Carnarvon Stakes (Listed), 6f

Harry's tip: Symbol Of Honour

Dropping back to 6f looks a good move for Symbol Of Honour, who was too keen early on when a bit below par over a furlong further two weeks ago. He won two 6f conditions races in Meydan, getting the better of subsequent Group 2 winner West Acre on the first occasion, and this half-brother to smart sprinter Dragon Symbol is unexposed at this distance.

1.40 Newmarket
JCB Handicap, 7f

Harry's tip: Spirit Of Leros

Sprit Of Leros is better than his latest effort suggests, as he would have finished closer if he was not denied a clear run, and he was entitled to need that first run in 80 days anyway. He is just 1lb higher than when winning at Newbury in August last year and may benefit from the return to a straight track.

2.00 Newbury Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap, 1m2f

Harry's tip: Saddadd

Saddadd is bred to be useful, being closely related to smart Listed winner Almaqam, and has already shown a good level of form. His debut win has been boosted by the runner-up, who has since bolted up in a conditions event and been placed in the UAE 2,000 Guineas, and he improved for stepping up to a mile and quarter last time, chasing home the well-regarded Gethin in a novice over this course and distance. A mark of 95 could underestimate him.

2.15 Newmarket

Harry's tip: Classic Encounter

Getting back on turf has suited Classic Encounter, who backed up the improvement he showed when winning a handicap at Redcar last month by finishing second in a better race than this over course and distance two weeks ago. He remains unexposed on a fast surface, with his only other start on the grass seeing him chase home the now 102-rated Hand Of God in a juvenile maiden, and he could yet rate much higher than this mark of 83.

2.35 Newbury
BoyleSports Lockinge Stakes (Group 1), 1m

Harry's tip: Rosallion

The returning Rosallion looked a class act last year, following his Irish 2,000 Guineas win with success at Royal Ascot in the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes, and can make a winning reappearance here. He has to concede race-fitness to a couple of his rivals, but he finished second in the 2,000 Guineas on last year's reappearance, producing a good RPR, and is sure to have been primed for this by Richard Hannon. He looks the most likely to dominate the mile division this year.

3.10 Newbury
Childwickbury Stud Fillies' Trial Stakes (Listed), 1m2f

Harry's tip: Revoir

Revoir has a smart pedigree, being a half-sister to two winners including Fred Darling winner Remarquee, and she looked a nice prospect when winning on her debut at Nottingham in October. She overcame greenness that day to win quite comfortably and, given she is bred to be suited by middle distances, there should be more to come now stepping up in trip.

3.45 Newbury
Hong Kong Jockey Club Handicap, 6f

Harry's tip: Elmonjed

Elmonjed did not have a lot in his favour on his reappearance in a strong Newmarket handicap last month but ran a good race to finish fourth, despite the softer ground and lack of headgear being against him. The first two from that race filled those places again in a handicap at the Guineas meeting next time, so the form looks solid. He will prefer the quicker ground and it is good to see the blinkers which he wore when landing handicaps at Windsor and York in August return.

4.20 Newbury
Boylesports Home Of The Early Payout Handicap, 1m

Harry's tip: My Cloud

My Cloud looked to have been let in lightly off an opening mark of 80 on his handicap debut at Ascot last month and proved just that when bolting up by three and a half lengths. Roger Varian won that race in 2018 in similar fashion with Mountain Angel, who went to score in Listed company and place at Group level. A 10lb rise is fair and this half-brother to smart miler Palace Pier should continue to improve.
