UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

SWEET DIME won her last couple of starts on the all-weather at Dundalk for Jessica Harrington before selling for 72,000gns at the Tattersalls December mares sale to Jedd O'Keeffe. The daughter of Toronado can complete the hat-trick for her new handler, seeing off stable companion Groveman, who ran a lot better when returning to the level over C&D, and recent Kempton scorer Ilhabela Fact. Sexy Beast is vulnerable following a long layoff.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Dime 2nd Groveman 3rd Ilhabela Fact

PAPA POWER made giant strides from his racecourse bow at Chelmsford when making every yard of the running at the same course earlier this month. Andrew Balding's colt is open to further progression, and can get the better of Da Vinci, a first-time-out winner at the Essex venue 14 days ago. Faramman is expected to improve on his debut effort at Kempton now fitted with blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Papa Power 2nd Da Vinci 3rd Faramman

PERSIAN SUN relished the drop in trip to 12 furlongs when third at Kempton earlier this month and could have more to offer back at a venue where he last tasted success in December 2018. The five-year-old has enough speed to cope now even further down in distance, and an aggressive ride would see him go close. Howzer Black put in a much improved performance when fourth over C&D recently and is noted, while Jus Pires and Ravenscar are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Persian Sun 2nd Howzer Black 3rd Jus Pires

CARNWENNAN has a largely progressive profile and has been located a suitable opening in which to strike. This trip is probably his minimum, but the long straight here suits Charlie Fellowes' charge, and he is fancied to outstay Cosmelli, who has a 4lb penalty to try and defy after his Chelmsford success last week. Padleyourowncanoe is on a hat-trick and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa catches the eye.
Prediction : 1st Carnwennan 2nd Cosmelli 3rd Padleyourowncanoe

MILLICENT FAWCETT romped home over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in December and is expected to remain competitive now moving into handicap company off a mark of 78. The principal threat may be Dandys Gold, who accounted for subsequent winner National Anthem over 6f here last time and now steps up in trip as she bids to defy a 7lb rise. Kwela and Geizy Teizy are consistent types who also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Millicent Fawcett 2nd Dandys Gold 3rd Kwela

INHALE struck on her handicap bow at Doncaster on her last start for Amanda Perrett in the summer and is expected to show up well off this 6lb higher mark now debuting for new connections. Candelisa has been in great order over 1m of late and could be keeping on well in the closing stages. The pick of the remainder may be Fortamour, who had subsequent winner Asdaa back in second when scoring over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Inhale 2nd Candelisa 3rd Fortamour
