UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

The in-form John and Thady Gosen have another strong chance with Quantum Cat, who is an unexposed three-year-old with obvious claims after last month's C&D success. However, this is a step up in class and, with that in mind, it might be worth siding with HAVEYOUMISSEDME, who is highly effective here and runs off 2lb below his last winning mark. Sir Chauvelin won this a couple of years ago and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Haveyoumissedme 2nd Quantum Cat 3rd Sir Chauvelin

An Irish Derby entrant, IMPERIAL SOVEREIGN is an interesting colt for Karl Burke to be introducing at this time of year and given his dam - a half-sister to Queen Anne hero Triple Time among other Pattern race winners - won as a juvenile, there is good reason to expect a big run from the son of Frankel. High Order is also by Frankel and is an obvious alternative given his illustrious connections, with fellow newcomer Open Secret rated the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Sovereign 2nd High Order 3rd Open Secret

A C&D winner off a 2lb lower mark last week, Kalganov has plenty of scope to improve on the all-weather and is respected accordingly, while his stablemate Abruzzo Mia is still of low mileage and is dangerous to rule out. However, ILLUSIONIST appeals most in handicapping terms and off 10lb lower than his last winning mark, the Grant Tuer-trained six-year-old is hard to resist.
Prediction : 1st Illusionist 2nd Kalganov 3rd Abruzzo Mia

A very rare runner for Gordon Elliott at Newcastle, COACHELLO get the nod to follow up his triumph over 7f at Lingfield last month. The five-year-old won more comfortably than the near two-length distance may suggest and a 5lb hike may not be enough to halt his progression. Bielsa is a danger after a good second over C&D, for which a 1lb rise isn't too harsh. Intrinsic Bond's mark is falling so he could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Coachello 2nd Bielsa 3rd Intrinsic Bond

Moyola won in very taking fashion over C&D in October, exploiting a mark of 59, but having been raised 10lb in the ratings for that success, he may be left susceptible to some better treated rivals. The nod goes to MORNING SUIT, who stayed on best to make it second-time lucky at Lingfield and he can follow up that victory on his handicap bow. Petra Celera should also be in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st Morning Suit 2nd Moyola 3rd Petra Celera

Plenty of in-form contenders line up in this field, with the tentative nod going to WEE FAT MAC. Iain Jardine's charge was always in command when scoring over 6f at Wolverhampton last weekend and a repeat of that effort would see him bang there again under his penalty. Primo's Comet returned to winning ways at Musselburgh in July and he's respected after a break, while Doctor Mozart - another with a penalty for a recent Wolverhampton triumph - is also worthy of a closer look.
Prediction : 1st Wee Fat Mac 2nd Primos Comet 3rd Doctor Mozart

A tough one to call but it may be worth chancing ROCKLEY POINT, who is now a 10-year-old but has won four times here. Beaten less than four lengths at Wolverhampton last week, he could surprise them all if the race falls his way. High Opinion won a shade comfortably over C&D last month and could go well again, despite an added 6lb from the handicapper. Top-weight Rory has scored off higher ratings and also arrives in winning form.
Prediction : 1st Rockley Point 2nd High Opinion 3rd Rory

Pembrokeshire did well to win at Musselburgh after being hampered at the start but carries 5lb more, which makes his life trickier. ENOLA GREY has been frustrating to follow with five seconds from her last six starts, but the latest was in a better race at Southwell off 1lb higher and she was beaten less than a length. A repeat of that may be more than enough. Cusack and Whatwouldyouknow might follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Enola Grey 2nd Pembrokeshire 3rd Cusack
