UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Fifty Sent may prove popular here with the Michael Dods team in winning form, but he will need to step up on his C&D third if he wants to get the better of TAFSIR at these weights. The selection ran on well to be beaten less than a length over this trip last week and gets in here off 1lb lower in the handicap. Pallas Lord might also get involved dropping in trip after weakening over further at Catterick.
Prediction : 1st Tafsir 2nd Fifty Sent 3rd Pallas Lord

With very little form to work with, Sir Michael Stoute's CRYSTAL MARINER stands out after coming home third on his only start at Pontefract. Slowly away that day and shaping as if the experience would not be lost on him, the three-year-old makes a good bit of appeal. He may prove tough to beat, though newcomers Lion's Pride, a son of Roaring Lion, and Territories colt Elusive Empire cannot be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Mariner 2nd Lions Pride 3rd Elusive Empire

Unless there is something special among the unraced contingent then George Boughey's Nottingham second SNAFIYA is going to prove tough to beat. Only beaten a neck that day after a slow start, she will know her job now and could put her experience to good use. Archie Watson has a good record with his all-weather juveniles which suggests Ba'hoa is worth noting, while Raknah and Mystical Illusion also look the part on paper and could go well.
Prediction : 1st Snafiya 2nd Bahoa 3rd Raknah

WASDALE was worth more than the winning margin suggests when successful over C&D in February, and the unexposed daughter of Twilight Son may be capable of better despite a 4lb elevated mark. Project Black should appreciate the return to a synthetic surface and is considered, while handicap debutant Tyke is open to further improvement and could be suited by a drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Wasdale 2nd Project Black 3rd Tyke

A few with chances, but the progressive ELZAAL gets the nod. A winner of five of his last six starts, he can continue his ascendency for a trainer who has enjoyed plenty of success with his sprinters over the years. Saaheq struck under Mia Nicholls at Chelmsford last month and is entitled to go well once again, while Sugar Baby, who was narrowly denied over C&D when last seen, can also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Elzaal 2nd Saaheq 3rd Sugar Baby

It might be worth chancing that EYES (fourth) can build on what was a promising effort over C&D last time out. The mare tends to go well here and, having dropped 1lb in the handicap, she finds herself on an attractive mark in comparison to her peak form. Written Broadcast is also considered as switching to the all-weather may help him reproduce the sort of form which saw him win at Wolverhampton in March. Martineo is noted as well.
Prediction : 1st Eyes 2nd Written Broadcast 3rd Martineo

WINDSOR PASS has a solid chance of breaking her maiden and is taken to come good on just her third run for current connections. Formerly trained in Ireland by Jessica Harrington, the daughter of Lope De Vega has gone well in both starts since she returned from a long break and, having gone close over 7f here on her penultimate outing, she ticks plenty of boxes. Anif and Young Fire are the main dangers.
Prediction : 1st Windsor Pass 2nd Anif 3rd Young Fire
