UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

LIFE KNOWLEDGE ran a big race on seasonal/stable debut for Liam Bailey when fourth at Leicester last week and could find the required improvement now back at a track where he scored off 4lb lower back in October. The seven-year-old has Daniel Tudhope on board this time and has been found a modest enough contest in which to strike. Amity Island only found an odds-on shot too good in a Ripon seller when last seen, while My Mo is of interest on stable bow for Tristan Davidson.
Prediction : 1st Life Knowledge 2nd Amity Island 3rd My Mo

Zarkavon remains a maiden after 26 attempts but did put in one of her better efforts when third over course and distance four weeks ago, while Ishebayorgrey was only just denied when second at Ayr recently. GRANITE CITY DOC didn't seem to appreciate a drop in trip when fifth at Hamilton 18 days ago but he should be better suited by this stamina test and also goes down in class for trainer Lucy Normile.
Prediction : 1st Granite City Doc 2nd Ishebayorgrey 3rd Zarkavon

TAMREER outran odds of 25/1 when second at York behind a winner who has since followed up at Wetherby, and Roger Fell's charge could score here despite a 3lb rise. The four-year-old won't be deterred by the drop in trip and can confirm the promise of that run. Never Be Enough only found one too good at Pontefract 11 days ago and has performed well here in the past, while Snowdon looked progressive last summer and needs a market check following a 281-day layoff.
Prediction : 1st Tamreer 2nd Never Be Enough 3rd Snowdon

LUSH LIFE improved from her return at Windsor to take a handicap at Sandown 12 days ago. She is turned out again quickly with connections potentially hoping for another success to ensure a 5lb penalty to get her in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot, a track where she has won before. Ibraz could have more to offer on his third outing of the season, while Bedouin's Story is capable of going close if produced late.
Prediction : 1st Lush Life 2nd Ibraz 3rd Bedouins Story

CHATTANOOGA BOY showed a good attitude when getting off the mark at Leicester in April and the son of Acclamation has the scope for further improvement, so gets the nod despite giving 6lb and upwards to all of his rivals. Balancing Act is related to plenty of winners, including Group 3 winner Mac Love, and has to enter the reckoning along with 62,000gns purchase Street Life.
Prediction : 1st Chattanooga Boy 2nd Balancing Act 3rd Street Life

KINLOCH PRIDE has been running consistently well of late without getting her head in front and Noel Wilson's mare can take full advantage of her dropping handicap mark. Red Stripes may bounce back returning to the all-weather, having won at Southwell two starts ago, while others that merit consideration include Decision Maker, a winner over C&D back in March, and Windforpower.
Prediction : 1st Kinloch Pride 2nd Red Stripes 3rd Decision Maker
