UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

CORKED relished the step up in trip when staying on well to score over this C&D 12 days ago and wants marking up for win having come from an uncompromising position following a slow start, so could defy a 5lb rise here, especially with scope for further progress. The main threat appears to be Troop, who was doing his best work at the finish when narrowly held off this mark over 1m here latest, while Sir Gnet and Graceful Act also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Corked 2nd Troop 3rd Sir Gnet

This looks an excellent opportunity for LIVE YOUR DREAM to open his account. Saeed bin Suroor's colt has shown promise when not beaten far in two starts to date at Chelmsford and Yarmouth, he looks to have less on his plate today and there should be more to come from the Godolphin representative now upped in trip. Mark Johnston saddles a pair of newcomers in Warranty and Redwing Lass and they could give the selection most to think about, especially the latter who cost 35,000 euros and is a half-sister to a winner in the US.
Prediction : 1st Live Your Dream 2nd Warranty 3rd Redwing Lass

SAINT OF KATOWICE was knocking on the door prior to struggling in a Newmarket handicap latest and Richard Fahey's charge has strong claims in this lesser company if taking to the all-weather. Dandy's Angel has shown ability in two placed outings over 6f at Carlisle and must be considered now stepped up trip and switched in surface, while the pick of the newcomers may be Mark Johnston-trained duo Hajey and Villa Paloma.
Prediction : 1st Saint Of Katowice 2nd Dandys Angel 3rd Hajey

Longroom has sound claims on his near-miss at Catterick off a 1lb higher mark last month but he has it to prove on an artificial surface and preference is for FARD. Roger Fell's gelding recorded a 6f double here before not getting home over 7f 10 days ago and the drop to the minimum trip could see him bounce back. Swiss Connection hinted her turn could be near when a neck second over C&D off 2lb lower last time out, while recent Haydock winner Spirit Power has gone well here in the past.
Prediction : 1st Fard 2nd Swiss Connection 3rd Longroom

PERFECT SWISS has been knocking on the door over shorter of late and, having shaped as though further would suit, the step up to a mile could be what is needed for him to be let in. Gunnison won at Thirsk in late August off 3lb lower and ran well enough in third at Wolverhampton off this mark last month to be considered a big threat to the selection. Molten Lava is feasibly treated if ready to roll after a summer break.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Swiss 2nd Gunnison 3rd Molten Lava

BILLY WEDGE stayed on strongly for a close second over this C&D off 1lb lower 10 days ago, a clear indication that his turn is near and this could be a slightly weaker race. The main dangers may be Puchita, who continues to run well in defeat, and Kodimoor, who has slipped to a 3lb lower mark than when scoring at Lingfield in July and is a previous C&D winner.
Prediction : 1st Billy Wedge 2nd Kodimoor 3rd Puchita

A tricky finale but there is plenty to like about the chances of JEFFREY HARRIS, who filled the runner-up berth off 2lb higher at Musselburgh last weekend and should relish this extra furlong now switched to the all-weather. Loulin looks to be running into form, while Picks Pinta and Raffle King have slipped to fair marks and could have their say.
Prediction : 1st Jeffrey Harris 2nd Raffle King 3rd Picks Pinta
