UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Buxted Too has won his last three and is only 8lb higher, so could prove tough to beat. However, JUBILEE GIRL is fancied to reverse the C&D form with that rival. The Karl Burke-trained filly is 5lb better off at the weights this time for a length defeat and is taken to go very close. Green Planet has Oisin Murphy on board and he looks an intriguing contender on his first start for Jedd O'Keeffe.
Prediction : 1st Jubilee Girl 2nd Buxted Too 3rd Green Planet

King's Gem ran well over this distance on his penultimate start when only denied by half a length at Southwell, and he has been raised 3lb since. However, the strong fancy to hit the winning post first is LADY LAVINA, who makes her return from a break after winning at Chelmsford in October. She is fancied to possibly make all once again back in handicap company. Evolicatt also can't be ruled out as she continues to lurk on a mark she has proven very competitive off.
Prediction : 1st Lady Lavina 2nd Kings Gem 3rd Evolicatt

Level Up boasts a consistent level of form since joining David Evans and another bold bid is likely from the four-year-old on the evidence of his recent Southwell efforts. Kraken Power is capable of bouncing back from a below-par outing here at the start of the month, but the vote goes to ENRAGED. Runner-up on her last couple of starts over C&D, the filly was only just denied victory last time and she wouldn't need to improve much to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Enraged 2nd Level Up 3rd Kraken Power

UNITED FORCE arrives having placed on both racecourse appearances to date, including when runner-up here earlier this month, and the son of Showcasing could put that experience to good use. Canberra Legend is a half-brother to a Chester Vase winner in Youth Spirit and he is likely to get involved along with Carbis Bay, who is a half-brother to a Listed all-weather winner.
Prediction : 1st United Force 2nd Canberra Legend 3rd Carbis Bay

ODD SOCKS HAVANA returned to winning ways over C&D in handicap company on his latest outing and the five-year-old is capable of backing that performance up. No Diggity has stepped forward of late and has to be considered following his Kempton success earlier in the month. The consistent Mr Coco Bean and Connie R both command a fair amount of respect too.
Prediction : 1st Odd Socks Havana 2nd No Diggity 3rd Mr Coco Bean

POSSIBLE AMBITION caught the eye in defeat over C&D 17 days ago and is worth chancing in this wide-open handicap. The five-year-old won a similar contest here last February and looks set for another big run now he's proved his current well-being courtesy of a decent effort in defeat here at the beginning of the month. Velma is also on a competitive mark and is another to bear in mind, while Martin's Brig has held his form well and also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Possible Ambition 2nd Velma 3rd Martins Brig

Blackcurrent won a similar race over C&D last Tuesday but is worth taking on with STORM MASTER. The gelding won a class 6 handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton in October, before registering a respectable third at the same course in December. He ran out of steam in the final furlong that day, creating the impression dropping to this trip is well worth a try. Kraken Florida, in first-time blinkers, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Storm Master 2nd Blackcurrent 3rd Kraken Florida
