UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

URBAN SPIRIT made a promising debut for Karen McLintock at Musselburgh in July when finishing second and is fancied to find further improvement following a break now returned to the all-weather. Second over C&D in April, the five-year-old isn't on a bad mark of 55 and could take some stopping. Put The Law On You is of interest having found one too good the last twice, while Irish raider Oromo may be of interest for each-way purposes.
Prediction : 1st Urban Spirit 2nd Put The Law On You 3rd Oromo

ROMAN STONE was just undone by a penalty when second at Hamilton in a tactical race 19 days ago and could do better now tackling handicap company for the first time for Keith Dalgleish. The three-year-old receives a handy weight-for-age allowance against largely older horses, and is fancied to double his career tally. Lopes Dancer made his stable debut a successful one for Brian Ellison here last month and has only been raised 4lb, while Paths Of Glory is going the right way for a trainer who loves winners here.
Prediction : 1st Roman Stone 2nd Lopes Dancer 3rd Paths Of Glory

Mr Wagyu ran another solid race in defeat at Redcar just over three weeks ago but needs more to end his long winless run for John Quinn. Axe Axelrod paid the price for doing much of the donkey work here last month and might benefit from a more patient ride, but this can go the way of MY TOWN CHICAGO. The four-year-old showed improvement when second at Kempton last time and is a past winner on Tapeta off 1lb lower.
Prediction : 1st My Town Chicago 2nd Mr Wagyu 3rd Axe Axelrod

INNINGS is a well-bred colt, being out of a Fillies' Mile winner, who is related to a couple of debutant scorers and represents a stable in amongst the winners of late. The son of Intello gets the vote on his debut over Perfect Focus, a 130,000-pound purchase at the Goffs UK Breeze-Up sale in April, and Yes Always, a 160,000gns acquisition from the Craven sale.
Prediction : 1st Innings 2nd Perfect Focus 3rd Yes Always

DANCING LEOPARD has shown signs of ability in maidens and strikes as one who could improve now switching to nurseries. Panist ran his best race yet when fourth in a novice heat at Catterick last time and appears fairly weighted too, running off an opening mark of 64. Others to consider in a wide-open heat include Maurice Dancer, who wears cheekpieces for the first time, and Holloa, who went close off 2lb lower at Thirsk on her penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Dancing Leopard 2nd Panist 3rd Maurice Dancer

AEGEUS has performed well in each of his three starts to date, earning an official rating of 74, and it will be disappointing if he doesn't open his account here. Extrodinair defied odds of 66/1 to finish second at Chelmsford last month and there could be more to come from Jane Chapple-Hyam's gelding, while Blistering Barney snuck into the frame over 7f here latest and has an each-way chance again.
Prediction : 1st Aegeus 2nd Extrodinair 3rd Blistering Barney

INSURPLUS has been in cracking form at the track, winning two of his last three visits, and he should remain competitive despite a further 3lb rise in the ratings. Home Before Dusk and Traveller also arrive following some solid efforts at this venue and they both warrant respect, while Stormbomber and Eesha's Smile are just a couple more with claims in a wide-open finale.
Prediction : 1st Insurplus 2nd Home Before Dusk 3rd Traveller
