UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Infiniti has been superbly placed by her connections to win five of her last six starts, rising from a mark of 46 in June to the 67 she runs off here, but she will need to improve again to successfully give 5lb to GOLDEN SHOT. Unsighted in four starts as a juvenile, he has been stepped up in trip to win both races comfortably at Southwell and Wolverhampton this season and, if he gets 2m, he may land the hat-trick. Hackberry and Scottish Dancer may prove best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Golden Shot 2nd Infiniti 3rd Hackberry

With the George Boughey team in good form, connections will expect a big run from C&D winner Kanakam, who races with a 6lb penalty. He could be vulnerable, though, and UNDER FOX may be the one to take advantage. He only won by a neck last time but got there after trouble in running and an added 3lb may underestimate him if he is covered up for a late charge again. Anif and Bringitonboris both love it here and they could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Under Fox 2nd Kanakam 3rd Anif

Azure Angel represents the stable which won this in 2019 and she ran a race full of promise when third at Yarmouth on her only start, making late headway to be nearest at the finish. The extra furlong here looks ideal and she might be the biggest danger to STAR SOUND. Second over C&D on debut, she was slowly away before making up ground with ease, and normal improvement would give her a big say here. Secret Contact and Isadora's Gift are interesting newcomers to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Star Sound 2nd Azure Angel 3rd Secret Contact

LUPSET FLOSSY POP arrives having improved for a switch to the all-weather and the daughter of Kodiac shed the maiden tag here over 6f last week. The drop back in trip is unlikely to be an issue and she is taken to defy a 6lb penalty. Azucena was third to the selection and has to be respected on 3lb better terms, while others capable of progression are Debater and Santabella.
Prediction : 1st Lupset Flossy Pop 2nd Azucena 3rd Debater

KINGORI is beginning to reward the patience of his connections having gone unbeaten on both his starts to date. A comfortable winner here on debut, he backed that up under a penalty at Lingfield and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat. Firth Of Clyde sports first-time blinkers and appears to be the most likely to follow the selection home, while Heretic is entitled to step forward from his debut fourth here last Friday.
Prediction : 1st Kingori 2nd Firth Of Clyde 3rd Heretic

KASINO got off the mark on her nursery debut over C&D at the end of last month and the form of that victory received a boost when the runner-up went one better next time out. Despite a 10lb rise, Bryan Smart's filly is capable of further progression and gets the vote ahead of Ladywantaway, who has improved since beginning life in nurseries, and Revolucion.
Prediction : 1st Kasino 2nd Ladywantaway 3rd Revolucion

CAPITAL OFFENCE faces a more realistic task on his handicap debut than what he has faced so far in his career. The son of Acclamation should appreciate this switch to an all-weather surface, being a half-brother to Exquisite Acclaim, who won on synthetics as a juvenile, and, in first-time blinkers, he gets the vote. Havana Run may benefit from the application of cheekpieces and he is entitled to step forward, while Truly Charming completes the shortlist..
Prediction : 1st Capital Offence 2nd Havana Rum 3rd Truly Charming

DESERT LAND finished second behind a well-treated rival on his latest outing, but the six-year-old remains in good form and is fancied to go one better on this occasion. Athollblair Boy was narrowly denied over 6f last time out and the return to 7f is unlikely to be an inconvenience. He is respected along with recent C&D scorer Unashamed. Handicap debutant Run Teddy Run is worth monitoring in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Desert Land 2nd Athollblair Boy 3rd Unashamed
