UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

The form of QAASID's most recent win over C&D has been franked by the runner-up since and a 5lb rise for that victory may underestimate the five-year-old. He gets the vote ahead of Dinoo, who has been running consistently well and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Busby's form has tailed off a bit of late but he is a player based on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Qaasid 2nd Dinoo 3rd Busby

A determined winner over C&D last time, RON O is in the form of his life at present and a fourth win in five starts looks like a distinct possibility for Ray Craggs' charge. Bin Hayyan arrives with similar claims having regained the winning thread over C&D earlier in the month, while Mawkeb has the form to get involved in the action as well.
Prediction : 1st Ron O 2nd Bin Hayyan 3rd Mawkeb

The Ed Walker stable is going well at present and PIFFLE looks more than capable of following up a taking win at Wolverhampton recently. That success had been coming after some solid efforts in defeat and she should have too much for Lilikoi, who was a winner over C&D on her penultimate start. Vindobala and Wadacre Grace can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Piffle 2nd Lilikoi 3rd Vindobala

SHAW PARK did little wrong in defeat in either of his two previous starts and is fancied to make it third-time lucky. Fade To Gray is closely matched with the selection judged on their encounter over course and distance nine days ago and, entitled to improve for that experience, he rates the chief danger. Flash Bardot gets weight from the boys and is also considered dropping in trip.
Prediction : 1st Shaw Park 2nd Fade To Gray 3rd Flash Bardot

Carrying joint top-weight might not hinder the chances of AFTER JOHN, who had legitimate excuses for a seemingly modest effort over C&D 20 days ago (he lost both front shoes and bled from the nose). The quick reappearance suggests all is well and it would be no surprise to see Iain Jardine's gelding bounce back in this company. Beneficiary is also better than he showed last time and is feared, while Dark Side Thunder and Tathmeen are others to note.
Prediction : 1st After John 2nd Beneficiary 3rd Dark Side Thunder

Winter Crown is an interesting contender, as he wasn't disgraced in warm Newbury and York maidens last year and returns from a break to make his first start for Julie Camacho. However, preference is for SNUGGLE, who was only beaten a short head off a mark of 76 last time and he sets the standard on that form. The son of Showcasing can show enough pace stepping back to 5f, while Exceed looks best of the rest making his first start on the all-Weather.
Prediction : 1st Snuggle 2nd Winter Crown 3rd Exceed

Gowanbuster was beaten half a length over 6f here last time, for which he has been raised 1lb, and he continues to move up the ratings without winning. The vote goes to AIKIDO, who was dropped 4lb in the ratings after his latest run over C&D and that gives the five-year-old a shout running off his lowest career mark under Rowan Scott. Canzone could be dangerous to dismiss, as he won over C&D on his penultimate start and is only 1lb higher now.
Prediction : 1st Aikido 2nd Gowanbuster 3rd Canzone
