UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Crazy Maisie was second off this mark over C&D last month and has to enter calculations once again, but a chance can be taken with THE NEW MARWAN, who drops in class. The Richard Fahey-trained gelding is rated 1lb lower this afternoon and merits plenty of respect, while Oscar Doodle edges out Bearwith and Barrister Blaster to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st The New Marwan 2nd Crazy Maisie 3rd Oscar Doodle

Berry Edge has been consistent recently and was not disgraced when third on his latest outing at Redcar. That said, the recent C&D winner HILDENLEY kept on well to score by two lengths last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following that up. Wolf Of Oxshott, Golden Valour and Baltic Baron complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hildenley 2nd Berry Edge 3rd Wolf Of Oxshott

It is hard to look past the John and Thady Gosden-trained COURAGE MON AMI, who caught the eye when bolting up on his racecourse bow at Kempton last month. He has to carry a 7lb penalty for that win, but there should be much more to come from him. Sea Gifted appears to be his biggest threat in a first-time tongue-tie, while Easter Island may be best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Courage Mon Ami 2nd Sea Gifted 3rd Easter Island

The John and Thady Gosden team have a tendency to unleash a few of their smart juveniles on the Tapeta and INTINSO is an eye-catching newcomer. A half-brother to the Royal Ascot winner Amtiyaz, he gets the vote ahead of fellow newcomer Ajyad, who hails from a yard that knows how to ready one. Of those with experience, Zivaniya leads the way without setting a high standard.
Prediction : 1st Intinso 2nd Ajyad 3rd Zivaniya

BOLD TERRITORIES has been a revelation in recent months and returning to Newcastle, where he won in August, can see Michael Dods' charge make it four wins from his last five starts. Maylah has been running with credit of late and he is likely to figure along with C&D winner Whatwouldyouknow and Going Underground, who is interesting down in trip. Others to note include Amelia R, Cosa Sara and Dedenne.
Prediction : 1st Bold Territories 2nd Whatwouldyouknow 3rd Maylah

An easy winner at Kempton last week over further, SOLITARY TREES arrives here on a hat-trick and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him. The son of Churchill has been a model of consistency and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience this strong traveller. Runner-up on his last three starts, Zakram is entitled to be thereabouts, while Slippin Jimmy could improve for going back up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Solitary Trees 2nd Zakram 3rd Slippin Jimmy

A break since June might have freshened up AQUAMAS and she has a lot going for her as she bids to defy a career-high mark. Jems Bond just edged out the selection when they met here in March and is also worthy of consideration after posting a respectable effort 10 days ago. That was his first run since April and he can go close again. Rain Cap and Bronze River are others to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Aquamas 2nd Jems Bond 3rd Rain Cap

The likes of Rory and his stablemates Primo's Comet and Tanasoq have all got winning form and the betting market surrounding that trio will be informative. Ramon Di Loria and Melody King also need a mention after they were the key players in a similar event here last month. However, marginal preference is for the consistent MAJESKI MAN, who has thrived since joining his current stable and his ability to force the pace could enable him to stay out of trouble if things turn messy.
Prediction : 1st Majeski Man 2nd Melody King 3rd Rory
