UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

BASHFUL appeared to win with something in hand when recording a hat-trick at Hamilton last Thursday and a 1lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Tiffany likely has more wins in her this season too and is an obvious threat in her quest to land a three-timer. Strawman arrives in good heart from turf and makes most appeal of the remainder on his all-weather debut.
Prediction : 1st Bashful 2nd Tiffany 3rd Strawman

Alpen Power arguably sets the standard of those who have raced and he's entitled to build on his debut fourth at Musselburgh earlier in the month. However, Charlie Johnston's inmate is up against some interesting newcomers, with TUNEFUL making most appeal. The daughter of Blue Point is a half-sister to the highly-rated Jack Darcy, who won on his opening bid as a juvenile. Clear Endeavour and Shin Jidai are other debutants that warrant market checks.
Prediction : 1st Tuneful 2nd Alpen Power 3rd Clear Endeavour

MIRRIE DANCERS posted a good effort in defeat when headed in the closing stages at Wolverhampton recently and the five-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread off only 1lb higher. Last-time-out winner Steel Helmet arrives in fine form and a 3lb rise is unlikely to halt Harriet Bethell's charge from going close once again. The son of Helmet could give the selection most to do, while Lord Torranaga also enters calculations now reverting back to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Mirrie Dancers 2nd Steel Helmet 3rd Lord Torranaga

FLYING FRONTIER has progressed nicely with each start to date and made it two on the bounce with a comfortable display at Redcar under a penalty. The son of Farhh makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut, especially with the extra couple of furlongs to aid his cause. He gets the vote at the main expense of Lucky's Dream, who can be forgiven his latest effort when not appearing to handle Epsom, and recent C&D winner Alumnus.
Prediction : 1st Flying Frontier 2nd Luckys Dream 3rd Alumnus

MIAMI THUNDER made the perfect start to life with Darryll Holland when running out an empathic winner over C&D at the end of last month. Despite a 10lb rise from the handicapper, it would be no surprise to see him back that performance up. Tajawal is expected to leave behind a disappointing effort at Chester when clearly not himself, while Power Of Gold and Starshiba appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Miami Thunder 2nd Tajawal 3rd Power Of Gold

Runner-up in two of her last three starts, this represents a good opportunity for AMOURIE to resume winning ways, even though she hasn't been seen since April. The seven-year-old remains 3lb above her last winning mark but is taken to get the better of Streetscape, who finished a fair fourth over 1m2f at Ayr earlier this month. Non Mollare completes the shortlist marginally down in distance.
Prediction : 1st Amourie 2nd Streetscape 3rd Non Mollare

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, MR STRUTTER is taken to defy a 4lb rise and can confirm form with the reopposing Reclaim Victory, even though Brian Ellison's inmate is now 3lb better off with the selection. Beast Of Burden reverts to the all-weather following a disappointing run at Hamilton most recently and should also be considered, despite being rated 5lb above her last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Mr Strutter 2nd Reclaim Victory 3rd Beast Of Burden
