UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

DARLING DU LARGE was third behind the talented Epatante at Exeter last month, and that run sets the form standard quite easily in this field. The six-year-old is going in the right direction and will be even better in the future when tackling further. See The Sea was rated 71 on the Flat last season and could do well in this sphere, while Summer Lightening could prove best of the rather modest remainder.
Prediction : 1st Darling Du Large 2nd See The Sea 3rd Summer Lightening

King Golan's winning run came to an end at Musselburgh 17 days ago and the assessor may have caught up with Kenny Johnson's charge now, while Newberry New shaped better when fourth over this course and distance 11 days ago. Preference, though, is for CRAIGANBOY, who goes well on soft ground and reverts to fences, where his mark is 7lb lower than his hurdles rating. Ueueteotl might want better ground than this and can be discarded for now.
Prediction : 1st Craiganboy 2nd King Golan 3rd Newberry New

VADO FORTE was deemed good enough to run in the Grade 3 Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham's November meeting last year, and could make the long journey worthwhile for shrewd handler Tom Lacey. The six-year-old isn't one to give up on yet and should appreciate the likely testing conditions. The Gipper won at a canter last time on heavy ground and looks poised to go well in his hat-trick bid, while Only Orsenfoolsies and Dali Mail add depth to a competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st Vado Forte 2nd The Gipper 3rd Dali Mail

BIALCO returned to winning form at Kelso when bouncing back from a disappointing effort here in January and he is more than capable of handling a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Sam's Adventure is yet to show his bumper form over hurdles but is open to progression switching to handicaps for the first time, while Stop Talking has to be respected in her bid to land a four-timer.
Prediction : 1st Bialco 2nd Sams Adventure 3rd Stop Talking

TRAPPER PEAK built on his return in the autumn with two successes since the turn of the year for new handler Stef Keniry at Sedgefield and Catterick, where the latter victory was particularly impressive. Call The Cops gained his first success since the Cheltenham Festival in 2015 when winning at Musselburgh last time and is respected along with Northern Girl, who won on her latest outing at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Trapper Peak 2nd Call The Cops 3rd Northern Girl

Graystown got the better of CASUAL CAVALIER by a length and a half at Ayr last time, but positions can be reversed here with the selection much better off on revised terms now Billy Garritty takes over in the saddle to remove 7lb. Rainy Day Dylan isn't the most reliable, but was hard to fault when second last time at Market Rasen, while the consistent course winner Mumgos Debut is respected just 2lb higher than his last win which came here in January.
Prediction : 1st Casual Cavalier 2nd Graystown 3rd Mumgos Debut

Phil Kirby's SHOW PROMISE did just as his name suggests when running on well to grab second here in a bumper on the all-weather track last time and is more than capable of going one better this time. Ask Himself was second on his Rules debut at Chepstow and needs a market check, while Nicky Richards is respected with his newcomers at this venue and his Marown is an 80,000-euros purchase by Milan.
Prediction : 1st Show Promise 2nd Marown 3rd Ask Himself
