16:45 Newmarket Tips — Wednesday 15th April 2026

The 16:45 at Newmarket looks set to be a formality for our confident selection, Lyrics Of Life. Despite the 5225- form figures not immediately screaming 'banker' on paper, the incredibly short odds of 1/10 tell their own compelling story – connections clearly believe this is the day for the Brian Meehan-trained gelding to shed his maiden tag. He’s been knocking on the door in better company, showing glimpses of real quality, and this looks a prime opportunity to finally get his head in front.

Jockey Rossa Ryan is a masterful rider, and his presence aboard a horse at such prohibitive odds only adds to the confidence. The track and good ground conditions should be ideal, providing the perfect stage for Lyrics Of Life to demonstrate the ability he’s undoubtedly shown at home. Trends suggest Meehan's horses often improve with racing and after a break, so expect him to be much sharper for his return and to dominate proceedings here.

For those looking for a bit of value further down the market, Capichera could be worth a small each-way play. He's shown flashes of promise and might just sneak into the placings if the favourite runs below expectations or others falter. However, all signs point to a comfortable victory for our main pick.
