UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

MAYO STAR made a winning debut for Nicky Richards at Ayr in January and the eight-year-old, who was always held in high regard while with the Jeffersons, could follow up in conditions which will suit. Bonny Houxty wasn't far away from landing a huge shock when third at Carlisle and should be given much more respect in the market this time. Dionysis is an interesting recruit from Ireland for Stef Keniry and is now tried in a hood.
Prediction : 1st Mayo Star 2nd Bonny Houxty 3rd Dionysis

SEAPOINT built on some useful efforts to run out a comfortable winner over slightly further here and the six-year-old is backed to have enough in hand to follow up off a 7lb higher mark. Epsom Des Mottes was an emphatic scorer on his penultimate start, but was well held when having to settle for second subsequently. He was popular with punters on that occasion and could be once again, with the cut back in distance set to suit. See Forever is only 2lb higher than when successful at Uttoxeter earlier in the season and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Seapoint 2nd Epsom Des Mottes 3rd See Forever

The versatile SKYHILL is unbeaten in four and looked as good as ever when defying another rise in the ratings at Kelso in January. The seven-year-old has been hit with a further 8lb hike, but is clearly thriving and can extend his winning run. Speak Of The Devil is a dour stayer who will appreciate the forecast conditions, while Kings Eclipse and Oscar Ceremony both arrive on the back of victories and have to be respected too.
Prediction : 1st Skyhill 2nd Speak Of The Devil 3rd Kings Eclipse

BINGO D'OLIVATE won easily at Carlisle a couple of weeks ago, only for Brian Hughes to weigh in 5lb light, and James Ewart's gelding was disqualified. Title-chasing Hughes will be determined to atone, and his partner can oblige. Orkan ran well at Market Rasen when last sighted 298 days ago and deserves a market check at least on his return to action. C&D scorer Lostock Hall makes up the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bingo DOlivate 2nd Orkan 3rd Lostock Hall

Brian Hughes is likely to keep things simple on HIDDEN DILEMMA, who only found one too good when going from the front at Carlisle. She is just 2lb higher in the ratings now and could lead these rivals a merry dance. She'sasupermack has been knocking on the door both over fences and hurdles and she rates the biggest threat, although Molly Carew and Haul Us In are certainly no mugs.
Prediction : 1st Hidden Dilemma 2nd Shesasupermack 3rd Molly Carew

WETLANDS was well supported ahead of his debut at Newcastle and certainly wasn't without promise, finishing fourth. He should know more about the game now and looks like the one they all have to beat. Nyoufsea also made an encouraging introduction, on the all-weather track at Gosforth Park, and he must enter calculations. Drenagh merits consideration following his pleasing third at Bangor.
Prediction : 1st Wetlands 2nd Nyoufsea 3rd Drenagh
