UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Valley Of Flowers arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Ayr and Catterick, but she must defy a 5lb penalty for her most recent success which could leave her vulnerable to some better treated rivals such as VICTORIANO. Brian Ellison's charge also arrives here looking to continue his winning thread after wins here and at Wolverhampton, and he looks likely to be finishing strongly at the line. Doublethetrouble has been knocking on the door of late and can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Victoriano 2nd Valley Of Flowers 3rd Doublethetrouble

INDEMNITY made a very pleasing start to his career when just touched off over 1m2f at Lingfield and he looks the one to beat. Any amount of improvement can be expected from Roger Varian's runner and this looks a good opportunity. Cracksking has been shaping as if a win could be just around the corner, while similar comments apply to Syllabus.
Prediction : 1st Indemnity 2nd Cracksking 3rd Syllabus

Spirit Of Ash has been running consistently well of late and, despite finishing fifth over 1m2f at this venue last time, she was only beaten two and a half lengths. However, the nod goes to GREAT COLACI, who showed a likeable attitude when scoring in game fashion over C&D last time and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up, while Milltown Lily should also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Great Colaci 2nd Spirit Of Ash 3rd Milltown Lily

FOOLS RUSH IN may be winless since last July, but recent efforts at Ayr and Southwell, where he was keeping on well at the finish, have suggested that the five-year-old is returning to form as the handicapper begins to loosen his grip. Jim Goldie's charge gets the vote ahead of Redcar winner Pillar Of Hope and Diamondonthehill, who has been in consistent form of late.
Prediction : 1st Fools Rush In 2nd Pillar Of Hope 3rd Diamondonthehill

This represents a significant drop in grade for MARKAKOL given he's run in Pattern company on his last three starts, and the son of Starspangledbanner can take full advantage. The selection's only win came over C&D in July and he can see off Garfield Shadow, who made an excellent impression when scoring on debut at Hamilton. Glory Hyde has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of her penultimate effort.
Prediction : 1st Markakol 2nd Garfield Shadow 3rd Glory Hyde

TOWNSEND MANOR had Salvuccio (fourth) comfortably behind when an easy winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, and he can uphold that form on his return to novice company. The Brian Ellison stable can do little wrong at present and Callianassa is a leading contender based on the pick of her form, while High Violet is another open to improvement on just her third career outing.
Prediction : 1st Townsend Manor 2nd Callianassa 3rd High Violet

COOL RUN was outpaced at a crucial point on her nursery debut before keeping on to finish third at Catterick, and the extra furlong, combined with first-time cheekpieces, may eke out enough improvement for her to achieve a first victory. Tropical Air was unable to make it four on the bounce at Lingfield last week, but the drop back to 6f makes him a key player. Others to note are Kandy House and Without Flaw.
Prediction : 1st Cool Run 2nd Tropical Air 3rd Kandy House

HE'S AN ANGEL produced his best effort so far when third here over 5f last Friday and the extra furlong on this occasion looks likely to suit as he bids to get his head in front for the first time. Mumcat has gone close on her latest outings at this track and the four-year-old is expected to be in the thick of things once again. Yazaman and Autumn Flight complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hes An Angel 2nd Mumcat 3rd Yazaman

Woobay attempts to follow up under a 5lb penalty after winning at Catterick last Wednesday. She was 1lb well-in on that occasion, though, and is likely to find life a lot tougher. With that in mind, the vote goes to ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN, who scored at Ayr on his penultimate start and may have found a quick turnaround too much when fourth at Hamilton. Dapper Man and Elzaal are feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Aconcagua Mountain 2nd Woobay 3rd Dapper Man
