Who To Follow At Newmarket On Tuesday - 18/04/23

Charlie Appleby sends a strong team to flat racing HQ on Tuesday starting in the opener where he has the favourite and third favourite with both Majestic Pride and City Of Kings having big chances.

Appleby then has the fav in the next with New Kingdom a winner last time out at Meydan and only 4lb higher can't be ruled out, maybe being a group horse in a handicap.

The Godolphin trainer fields two again in the feature Group Three Earl Of Sefton Stakes with Ottoman Fleet and Blue Trail showing good form of late.

Appleby heads into the Craven meeting currently running at a strike rate of 33% for the last two weeks, managing to land four winners from his last 12 runners.

Leading rider Ryan Moore is back in England for Newmarket's three day meeting and on the opening day of the Craven meeting he has a few chances to go close.

In the opener Moore rides the second favourite Hi Royal and he holds some very good form from his two runs to date and is the big challenger to the Godolphin pair.

Moore then teams up with Richard Hannon on Tacarib Bay and the four year old has a big chance to get back to winning ways getting dropped back to 7f and tackling soft ground.

The riders next ride is arguably his best chance of the afternoon sitting on Poker Face for Simon & Ed Crisford in the Group Three Earl Of Sefton Stakes.

Moore teams up with Hannon again in the Maiden over 7f on board Palamon who has more experience than most in the field.

The highly decorated rider heads into the Craven meeting running at a strike rate of 21% for the last fortnight, managing to land five winners from his last 24 runners.
