UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Sulafaat got back to winning ways over further here last time and evidently goes well at this track, while Curfewed ran on for third over a mile here last time and could relish this longer trip. Corked has a length and a half to find with Curfewed on that encounter but the latter is proven at this trip, though preference is for QUOTELINE DIRECT. Micky Hammond's gelding was not far away over hurdles at Catterick last time, having gone close over a similar trip to this at Wolverhampton last month.
Prediction : 1st Quoteline Direct 2nd Sulafaat 3rd Curfewed

Corvair was firmly put in his place when second at Chelmsford on debut, though he did come out best of the rest that day and could go well here. LEXINGTON DASH also filled the runner-up spot on debut but Richard Hannon's colt was not far off the winner and pulled four lengths clear of the remainder, suggesting he will open his account soon. Where's Mick improved for the switch to this track when second over 7f last time and could pip Splendidly to the bronze medal.
Prediction : 1st Lexington Dash 2nd Corvair 3rd Wheres Mick

Lapses Linguae almost made her first trip over the Irish Sea a winning one when second at Kempton last time and appears of interest on the back of that solid display, while Minhaaj was not disgraced in third at Wolverhampton last time and is expected to show up well. SHAMMAH gets the vote, though, as Richard Hannon's charge has a number of solid efforts on turf to her name and commands respect on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Shammah 2nd Minhaaj 3rd Lapses Linguae

LEZARDRIEUX was not beaten too far off his current mark at Kempton last time and the return to this track, at which he struck on his nursery debut in October, could see Grant Tuer's charge land the spoils. A Go Go won at Wolverhampton two starts ago but was well off the pace off his revised mark last time, though handicap debutants Mews House and The Grey Bay could improve for the switch to this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Lezardrieux 2nd A Go Go 3rd Mews House

Tracy Waggott appears to have found the perfect opportunity for PROCEEDING to complete his hat-trick. Up a total of 10lb for his two C&D successes, the four-year-old could just remain sufficiently ahead of the handicapper to land this. Traveller wasn't far away at Wolverhampton last time and is interesting off 1lb lower, while Amber Rock has claims if able to build on a fair third at Southwell last time.
Prediction : 1st Proceeding 2nd Traveller 3rd Amber Rock

The Retriever finished a good second at Southwell last time, having run well enough in defeat here on his previous two starts, while Billy Wedge has been holding his form since winning over this track and trip in October. With Approval won here two starts ago but struggled badly at Wolverhampton last time, so SIENA MIA is the tentative choice. Philip Kirby's lightly-raced filly was outpaced over 6f here last time, but plugged on well enough and could be capable of better over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Siena Mia 2nd The Retriever 3rd Billy Wedge

Etikaal was a fairly comprehensive winner of a 7f contest here last time and is respected, but PEARL OF QATAR was impressive when scooting clear of the field over this track and trip last time and a 7lb hike might not be enough to stop her following up. My Town Chicago won well at Kempton in October and has claims, despite a poor effort at Wolverhampton on Saturday, while Kyllachy Warrior could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Pearl Of Qatar 2nd Etikaal 3rd Kyllachy Warrior

STAR CRACKER remains on the same mark as when second, beaten less than a length, over this C&D last time and a similar effort may see him go one better this evening. Rockley Point filled the runner-up spot over a furlong further here last time, having led into the final furlong, so looks the main danger. Extrasolar was not beaten too far here last time either and could feasibly take closer order off a 2lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Star Cracker 2nd Rockley Point 3rd Extrasolar
