UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

The unexposed MY HARRISON GEORGE put in a career best when third over this trip at Ayr on his most recent outing in August and he gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark in a moderate contest. Balqaa made the frame in a similar event at Wolverhampton last time and has to be of interest, while We Still Believe and Isle of Wolves are also noted.
Prediction : 1st My Harrison George 2nd Balqaa 3rd We Still Believe

Vitarli merits respect following her win over 5f here last week but a 6lb penalty for that success is an obvious concern. With that in mind, preference is for INVINCIBLE SIAM, who has shown plenty of promise in novice/maiden company and an opening mark of 65 should be workable, especially as she may improve for a first-time tongue-tie. Others to consider are Professor Tickle and Inspiring Speeches.
Prediction : 1st Invincible Siam 2nd Vitarli 3rd Professor Tickle

Albegone and Castan are last-time-out winners who have to be high on the shortlist but preference is for KHABIB. The five-year-old is a dual C&D winner and he bounced back to form when beaten a head into second on his most recent outing at Redcar. Off just a 2lb higher mark, it would be no surprise to see him go one better here.
Prediction : 1st Khabib 2nd Albegone 3rd Castan

MILBANKE has fared well with a high draw and, off just 3lb higher than his Pontefract success, he is an appealing option reverting to the all-weather. Having already won on Tapeta at Wolverhampton, the surface doesn't present much of an issue and a bold showing is expected with Ryan Sexton retaining the ride. Previous C&D winner Show Me Show Me is feared most, with Rambuso Creek another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Milbanke 2nd Show Me Show Me 3rd Rambuso Creek

With the form of last month's Ayr success working out well, the versatile TELE RED is fancied to make light work of a 3lb rise in this company. The selection wasn't at his best the last time he raced on this surface but it is safe to say he's progressed a lot since. Crownthorpe and Eldrickjones are in-form rivals who can ensure this goes down to the wire.
Prediction : 1st Tele Red 2nd Crownthorpe 3rd Eldrickjones

POP FAVORITE possibly hit the front too soon when he was just run out of things near the finish here last week, but it was still an encouraging enough effort and he gets the vote off the same mark. Ledger showed guts to win over C&D last Tuesday and also rates highly under a 6lb penalty, while Annalee Lass and Two Rivers are a couple of others expected to be heavily involved.
Prediction : 1st Pop Favorite 2nd Ledger 3rd Annalee Lass

Ratafia won for the first time at Redcar last month, but his record on the all-weather is five runs and five unplaced efforts, so he will need to improve to follow up. CHEESE THE ONE is narrowly preferred with a win at Wolverhampton in August and a half-length fourth at the same track last month. Christian Howarth claiming 3lb in the saddle is an added bonus, while Rockonmecca is an interesting alternative if a first-time visor has the desired effect.
Prediction : 1st Cheese The One 2nd Ratafia 3rd Rockonmecca

Just the four runners here so it could get tactical, which ought to suit BRITANNICA more than her rivals. She has pulled too hard in the past but could be allowed to bowl along in front and set her own pace. Moon Flight is an obvious danger if the first-time hood brings him back to his best after a below-par fourth at Wolverhampton, while the once-raced Souffionne could come home in third.
Prediction : 1st Britannica 2nd Moon Flight 3rd Souffionne

Sydney Bay may prove popular looking for a C&D hat-trick, but his last win was by less than a length and a 5lb penalty will make his life that bit more difficult. He can still go well but a chance is taken on BLACKCURRENT, who was three-quarters of a length behind the winner in second that day but now 2lb better off. Kraken Power rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Blackcurrent 2nd Sydney Bay 3rd Kraken Power
