UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

None of the these hold outstanding claims, with Trabajo Detecho and Na Scoitear making some appeal judged on their proximity to each other in a 6f nursery at Southwell last month. A chance is taken on HOW EXCITING being able to exploit a potentially lenient current mark. Ann Duffield's filly has previous experience at this venue and looks a sporting option on these terms. Naughty Ted is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st How Exciting 2nd Trabajo Detecho 3rd Na Scoitear

Dropping in trip may have been the undoing of QUERCUS ROBUR here 10 days ago and he can bounce back with today's additional yardage very much in his favour. He still has scope to improve as a stayer and is one to take seriously in this company. Glory And Honour can go well if he adapts to the Tapeta surface, while Yagan is considered despite being burdened with top weight. Misscarlett is set to race from 1lb out of the weights but would also be dangerous to rule out.
Prediction : 1st Quercus Robur 2nd Glory And Honour 3rd Yagan

RUSSIAN VIRTUE is two from two over hurdles this winter and has an obvious chance back on the Flat. Admittedly, he's yet to win on the level so confidence cannot be sky-high, which creates hope for the likes of Trailblazer, who is tried in cheekpieces for the first time, and Bay Dream Believer, who doesn't have many miles on the clock and could be of interest on only her second start for Mark Walford's yard.
Prediction : 1st Russian Virtue 2nd Trailblazer 3rd Bay Dream Believer

PRINCESS NIEVE didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when staying on to finish fourth at Kempton during the week and compensation could await now entering handicaps, off what looks a fair mark. Strong Team should prove more competitive now returned to this C&D after some fair efforts in classified events, while Golden Vintage is another to consider if bouncing back to the form that saw him run an encouraging race on his reappearance at Southwell at the start of December.
Prediction : 1st Princess Nieve 2nd Strong Team 3rd Golden Vintage

Sir John Monash sets the standard after posting an encouraging fourth on his racecourse debut at Southwell earlier in the month and he should play his part in the finish if breaking better at the start. GLEN BUCK, however, represents the Roger Varian yard and as a full-brother to the useful Jasmine Joy, he is worth chancing on his belated introduction. Odin Owns You All was just behind Sir John Monash at Southwell and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Glen Buck 2nd Sir John Monash 3rd Odin Owns You All

WALKING ON CLOUDS was worn down late on over 7f at Southwell and holds leading claims now turned out quickly off the same mark on this drop in distance. Beneficiary has shaped as if he would appreciate this stiffer test in recent appearances and is one to consider in the first-time blinkers. However, the bigger threat may emerge from last-time-out winner Jkr Cobbler, who might have more to offer now reverting to handicaps after the hood proved successful over C&D last week.
Prediction : 1st Walking On Clouds 2nd Jkr Cobbler 3rd Beneficiary
