UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Revolucion (second) is 1lb better off with Pocket The Packet (winner) for the margin of a short head, and that could help Joseph Parr's charge turn the tables with that rival, but preference is for SAJWAAN. Archie Watson's colt hinted at ability in his three qualifying runs and he could prove a different proposition fitted with cheekpieces ahead of his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Sajwaan 2nd Revolucion 3rd Pocket The Packet

MR COCO BEAN returned to form when finishing a good second over C&D last month. Helen Cuthbert's eight-year-old operates from 16lb below his last winning all-weather mark and, from a handy draw, he's fancied to take full advantage. Going Underground opened his account at the 23rd time of asking last time and ought to go well under the penalty. Reclaim Victory heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Coco Bean 2nd Going Underground 3rd Reclaim Victory

In an open event, a chance can be taken on PISANELLO. The son of Raven's Pass drops in class having contested a 0-95 at Redcar last month, he's lightly raced on an artificial surface and he could have more to offer over the winter months. Recent C&D scorer Award Dancer is taken to go well off a 3lb higher mark, likewise Plastic Paddy, who ought to appreciate the return to Gosforth Park having notched up two victories here last season.
Prediction : 1st Pisanello 2nd Award Dancer 3rd Plastic Paddy

The key to this race could be the clash here in August between Mr Trevor (first) and CROCODILE POWER (second) where the former came out on top by just under two lengths. It is John Quinn's charge who is fancied to come out on top here, though, courtesy of a 10lb pull at the weights. Idoapologise has been in terrific form of late and must be of interest along with Novak, who has finished runner-up here the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Crocodile Power 2nd Novak 3rd Idoapologise

ABRUZZO MIA displayed a very willing attitude to hold off the reopposing Maxzeno by a neck at Redcar last week and that should stand him in good stead as he looks to follow up under a penalty. Pay For Adaay wasn't fancied on his debut at Windsor but he performed with plenty of credit on that occasion and he may pose the most significant threat to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Abruzzo Mia 2nd Pay For Adaay 3rd Maxzeno

Hail Sezer is bound to be popular here as he looks to bring up the hat-trick after convincing successes at Southwell and Redcar. Preference, however, is for RORY, who won here in September off 4lb lower and has been shaping as though a step back up in trip could illicit further improvement. So Grateful has been in tremendous form of late and is likely to be thereabouts alongside Glorious Rio.
Prediction : 1st Rory 2nd Hail Sezer 3rd Glorious Rio

Starsong arrives here seeking a hat-trick after a win over C&D on her penultimate start and at Southwell on Tuesday, and her connections will be hoping that she can strike while the iron is hot. However, it won't be easy up 6lb for that neck success and she may be vulnerable. Therefore, the nod goes to POCKLEY, who was third of 11 over C&D last time, beaten just one and a half lengths. Off 1lb lower, a bold bid can be expected. Kapono returns to the all-weather and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Pockley 2nd Starsong 3rd Kapono

Another bold bid can be expected from Reigning Profit, who was beaten just three quarters of a length over C&D last time and, off the same mark here, he's likely to be thereabouts. However, preference is for HIGH OPINION, who carries a 6lb penalty for his success at Nottingham on his previous outing. That may not be enough to halt Bryan Smart's charge from stamping his authority on these rivals. Golden Rainbow won over C&D last time and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st High Opinion 2nd Reigning Profit 3rd Golden Rainbow
