UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Quercus Robur is likely to prove popular amongst punters following his recent course victory, but, while he demands the utmost respect, a chance is taken on UNBRIDLED POWER. Formerly trained by Willie Mullins, the five-year-old has shown promise on his three runs for the Rebecca Menzies team. The handicap debutant should be ideally suited by the step up in trip and a first-time visor could illicit further improvement. Others to note include Hildenley, Selecto and Meet Me There.
Prediction : 1st Unbridled Power 2nd Quercus Robur 3rd Hildenley

The lightly-raced DRAKEHOLES was a decisive winner of a novice event here over 7f last month and though this demands more, he is fancied to repeat the dose. Course-lover Broctune Red is just 1lb above his last winning mark and he appeals as a likely candidate, along with Bin Hayyan, who kept on well for third last time out. Perfect Swiss and Showmedemoney shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Drakeholes 2nd Broctune Red 3rd Bin Hayyan

This can go the way of CALCUTTA DREAM, who landed a similar contest at Chelmsford earlier this month. The gelded son of Iffraaj must concede weight to his rivals, but he is relatively unexposed and there might be more to come at this level. Mr Coco Bean has been running well in defeat lately and remains of interest, while Odd Socks Havana has shaped as if need of further in recent starts and is one to note for market confidence.
Prediction : 1st Calcutta Dream 2nd Mr Coco Bean 3rd Odd Socks Havana

This could come down to the classy stablemates Forest Of Dean and HARROVIAN, who can be hard to win with, but are very classy on their day. Robert Havlin has chosen the latter, who ran a fine race on his return in the Churchill Stakes and could be well suited by Newcastle's long straight. King Of The South loves it around here, but all of his best form has been over further of late.
Prediction : 1st Harrovian 2nd Forest Of Dean 3rd King Of The South

An easy winner at Wolverhampton last week, NOODLE MISSION arrives here under a 6lb penalty which may be nowhere near enough to stop him from going in again. The son of Noble Mission is open to further improvement dropping back slightly in trip and should have too much for the likes of Magicdollar, who ran a promising race here last October, and Naomi's Charm.
Prediction : 1st Noodle Mission 2nd Magicdollar 3rd Naomis Charm

GOLDEN PASSPORT built on the promise of his debut fourth at Salisbury in July when scoring in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton and the manner of that victory suggested the step up to a mile would pose no issue for the son of Acclamation. Imperial Ace shaped well on his first start when third at Wolverhampton last month and is likely to be in the mix, while others to note include Laser Guided and Sunfyre.
Prediction : 1st Golden Passport 2nd Imperial Ace 3rd Laser Guided

KRAKEN POWER was a notable eyecatcher when getting no luck in running here last Wednesday and it would be no surprise if compensation awaited for Jim Goldie's gelding. The drop back to 5f appeals as being the right move for Wee Fat Mac, having raced keenly when fourth at Wolverhampton on his latest outing, and he is respected off the same mark. Indian Sounds sports cheekpieces for the first time and that may see him enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Kraken Power 2nd Wee Fat Mac 3rd Indian Sounds
