3.35pm Newbury Tips & Betting Preview 20/04/2018

Global Applause is a fascinating contender here on the pick of his two-year-old form. He was not beaten far into fifth over this trip at Doncaster back in October, but the lack of a recent run makes him vulnerable in this company. Preference is for BLUE DE VEGA who had some very useful Irish form to his name and showed promise when third at Musselburgh last time out. His Trainer won this race last year and if he can return to the level of his third in the Irish 2000 Guineas he would have leading claims here off a mark of just 97.
