UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

DANCE TIME belied odds of 33-1 to make a successful handicap debut at Southwell in September, and the unexposed daughter of Time Test ought to be more than capable of defying a subsequent 3lb rise. She is preferred to Luna Effect, who was narrowly denied at Yarmouth last time, while others to note include Graces Quest and recent Kempton scorer Evening Story.
Prediction : 1st Dance Time 2nd Luna Effect 3rd Graces Quest

Those with experience don't set the highest of standards, so it might be worth taking a chance on MARINERS WAY. A full-sister to the useful Riversway, who won on her debut and sole all-weather start, this daughter of Mayson might not have to be anything out of the ordinary to emulate her sibling. Leveret hit the woodwork over C&D on her first start and she looks set to mount a stern challenge with improvement likely. Shy Hi Bye was well beaten on soft ground at Yarmouth but she ought to appreciate the switch to an artificial surface.
Prediction : 1st Mariners Way 2nd Leveret 3rd Shy Hi Bye

MONKS DREAM was an impressive winner of a 6f maiden here last time and Tim Easterby's gelding might be capable of defying a 4lb penalty. Persian Blue finished a decent second over 5f at Nottingham on her latest outing and she cannot be discounted. Circus Lion has posted two solid efforts in defeat and he ought to be thereabouts, while newcomer Sports Coach makes plenty of appeal on paper and is worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Monks Dream 2nd Persian Blue 3rd Circus Lion

BEDFORD FLYER found a return to the all-weather to his liking when justifying favouritism at Lingfield last week. Mick Appleby's five-year-old won with enough in hand that day to suggest that he can shrug off a 5lb penalty and a quick-fire double looks to be in the offing. Mondammej posted a solid runner-up effort here a week ago and he's feared most off the same rating, while Rhythm N Hooves shouldn't be far away if finding any improvement in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Bedford Flyer 2nd Mondammej 3rd Rhythm N Hooves

Paddy's Day is likely to prove popular after landing the spoils over C&D last Friday and Nigel Tinkler's three-year-old warrants respect under a 6lb penalty. However, SHOW ME SHOW ME went into plenty of notebooks after finishing second over this track and trip on Tuesday. The son of Showcasing could take some stopping if coping with the quick turnaround and edges the vote. Zuffolo may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Show Me Show Me 2nd Paddys Day 3rd Zuffolo

MR HEINZ lost little in defeat when runner-up over C&D in mid-October and a similar level of performance may be enough to defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Spirit Of Bowland posted a pair of third-placed finishes at this venue last month and the four-year-old is likely to be on the premises once more. Little Ted is another to note now dropping into a 0-60 event, albeit the son of Cityscape is still 2lb above his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Mr Heinz 2nd Spirit Of Bowland 3rd Little Ted

HAWORTH STAR produced the best effort of his career so far to hit the frame at Wolverhampton last month, despite going off at big odds, and he was given a 7lb rise for that display. The son of Bated Breath could take a step forward and get his head in front for the first time this evening. Bella Kopella hit the crossbar over 6f here last time and has to be considered off the same rating, with the step up in distance unlikely to pose him any problems. Last-time-out winner Capuchinero should also go well under a 5lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Haworth Star 2nd Bella Kopella 3rd Capuchinero

Glendown secured victory by half a length in soft ground at Redcar last month and he is one to watch off a 4lb higher rating on his first start at this track. However, preference is for BEAUTY CHOICE, who finished fifth in a class 4 event at Doncaster recently and is able to compete off the same mark on his all-weather return, which could see him make it two wins from his last three starts. Sacred Falls has finished in the top two on each of her last six outings (one win) and she can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Beauty Choice 2nd Glendown 3rd Sacred Falls

Manigordo outran his big odds to hit the frame at Ayr in this grade last time and he is an interesting contender on his first start for the Adrian Nicholls stable. However, the vote goes to TRABAJO DETECHO, who wasn't beaten far into third over 7f here last month and he should have no issues with this step back down in distance, so he can regain the winning thread. Woobay is also considered after her runner-up effort at Redcar last time.
Prediction : 1st Trabajo Detecho 2nd Manigordo 3rd Woobay
