Today's Racing Tips: Three to back at Newmarket from Betfair racing trader Frank Hickey

Newmarket, 13:50 - Back Without Prejudice @ 4/15.00

12 (3)

Without Prejudice (Ire)

• J: William Buick
• T: John & Thady Gosden
• F: 11

• SBK 4/1
• EXC 5.6

This is a really interesting Group 3, where Inis Mor is a deserved favourite after her Irish Oaks second on her penultimate start. That said, she has been on the go since the Nell Gwyn Stakes back in April and you can get funny results in these fillies and mares races at the backend of the season. 

One that hasn't had a hard season is Without Prejudice. Making her debut at the end of July, she easily dismissed the odds on Aleatrix that afternoon and had no issue following up under a penalty at Windsor, when a short price.

Both those races came over 10 furlongs and while she has to prove that she has the stamina for a mile and a half, you would be very hopeful that she will get it based on her pedigree. She is a half-sister the top class Emily Upjohn, who was a Group 1 winner over a mile and a half and was also just touched off in an Oaks.

The one niggle against Without Prejudice is that she is by Starman, who tends to be more about speed with his progeny but Without Prejudice has been strong at the end of her races at ten furlongs, that I think she will get the trip tomorrow. If she does, she has a big chance.

Newmarket, 15:35 - Back Fortitudine @ 13/82.63

3 (4)

Fortitudine (Ire)

• J: William Buick
• T: Charlie Appleby
• F: 11

• SBK 7/4
• EXC 2.66

A brother to the top class Rebel's Romance, Fortitudine couldn't have made more of an impression when winning on his debut at Kempton over a mile and three furlongs just about eight weeks ago.

His winning distance was 21 lengths and while you would have legitimate concerns with the level of form in behind him, the second from that race, Dialstone, did win a Bath novice since, to give some substance to the form.

He returned to the same course and distance under a penalty or his second start and while he was workmanlike considering his SP of 1/41.25, I do think the second in that race, Shadow Road is a nice horse that can make a mark in useful handicaps in the future.

After just two starts, Fortitudine has achieved an official rating of 105, which leaves him just a pound behind Kokbastau but the market has quite a gap between them. I think they should be much closer in the market and there is every chance that Fortitudine can improve again and win the Godolphin Stakes for the sponsors.

Newmarket, 1610 - Back Howzatt @ 7/24.50

5 (14)

Howzatt

• J: Billy Loughnane
• T: James Owen
• F: 4

• SBK 7/2
• EXC 5.3

Howzatt is a Zoustar half brother to the very useful James Garfield and displayed plenty of ability himself, when an eyecatching fourth on his debut in a seven furlong maiden at Glorius Goodwood. That form has mixed messages but the fifth and sixth have won since, so there is some substance to that form. 

He went straight into my tracker, thinking that a maiden would be a formality and that he might even be up to pattern class in time. This maiden looks quite tidy, so he will have to improve to take this.

A positive, is that Billy Loughnane has been booked for the ride and he is 4/18 (22%) when taking rides for James Owens and nine others have hit the first four, so he rarely takes a ride on a no hoper for Owens.

While this is a stronger maiden that perhaps I was hoping to see Howzatt take his chance in, I do think he has serious potential and I think there is every chance he can begin to realise that at Newmarket on Friday.
