UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Novel Legend produced an improved effort on his handicap debut, finishing second, but it must come as a slight concern the way in which he hung under pressure. With that in mind, preference is for NOLTON CROSS, who appeared to bump into a well-treated rival at Southwell last time out. Hugo Palmer elects to place first-time cheekpieces on the son of Dark Angel and, if they're able to eke out further improvement, he could prove too strong. World Without Love boasts a largely consistent profile and is entitled to be in the thick of things once again.
Prediction : 1st Nolton Cross 2nd Novel Legend 3rd World Without Love

Snow Girl has been running well over sprint trips recently and she could have more to offer now upped distance, but this can go the way of SIGMUND. Sent off at odds of 100-1 at York on his racecourse debut, Kevin Philippart De Foy's colt ran creditably and a similar performance might be enough on this switch to the all-weather. Belardo Joy makes plenty of appeal on paper for the Johnston team, while Star Start shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Sigmund 2nd Snow Girl 3rd Belardo Joy

In an open event, a chance is taken on FRANK ROSS IS OUT. Richard Fahey's charge ran to a similar level in his three qualifying runs, before perhaps not handling the stiff nature of Beverley on nursery debut last month. He was dropped 3lb for that effort, is handily berthed and the switch to Tapeta might spark some improvement. Naughty Ted finished a good second in a claimer at Redcar on his latest outing and makes obvious appeal, along with Nibras Rainbow.
Prediction : 1st Frank Ross Is Out 2nd Naughty Ted 3rd Nibras Rainbow

A 3lb raised mark may not be enough to stop the Tom Ward-trained DIAMOND BAY following up his latest win over this trip at Lingfield. He was able to build on a good third at Kempton on his penultimate start and there could well be more in the locker, though the class-dropping Author's Dream may not be far away on his return to the all-weather. Haveyoumissedme is another to note up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Bay 2nd Authors Dream 3rd Haveyoumissedme

DANDY'S ANGEL could prove tough to beat if anywhere near her best, and seeks to follow up a comfortable win at Beverley over this trip. Her recent efforts at this distance have proved fairly consistent and she can give another good account off a 4lb higher mark. Calcutta Dream won three starts ago over C&D and is feared on his return to the all-weather, while Balqaa completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dandys Angel 2nd Calcutta Dream 3rd Balqaa

RED ASTAIRE has gone close on his last couple of starts and this represents a fantastic opportunity for him to open his account. Kingori represents a stable that have been firing in the winners recently and it would come as no surprise to see him run a big race on debut, while Peroni looks to be heading the right way and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Red Astaire 2nd Kingori 3rd Peroni

Hot Scoop arrives following solid win and placed efforts at Catterick and Beverley respectively and he looks sure to give another good account, but a chance is taken on BLAZING HOT. He has been knocking on the door recently and returning to a venue where he has won twice in the past can only be a positive. Yaahobby is by no means out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Blazing Hot 2nd Hot Scoop 3rd Yaahobby
