UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

The hat-trick seeking Petit Calvados has to be respected following victories at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford, but marginal preference is for GULLIVER. David O'Meara's veteran was a close-up fourth in a competitive event at Chelmsford two weeks ago and another good run can be expected off a 1lb lower mark. Mighty Power edged out Secret Guest over C&D recently and they have to enter the equation as well.
Prediction : 1st Gulliver 2nd Petit Calvados 3rd Mighty Power

In a wide-open event, the vote just goes to the unexposed AIM FOR THE MOON, who was only beaten a length into third over this trip at Kempton last time and can race off the same mark here. Once Adaay is an obvious threat following his success at Chelmsford two weeks ago, while surprise C&D scorer Sycamore is also dangerous. Others to consider are Tio Mio, Mercurius Power and Urban Road.
Prediction : 1st Aim For The Moon 2nd Once Adaay 3rd Sycamore

JUICY only just failed to follow up her debut victory when second at Chelmsford last time, and both of those performances suggest that a mark of 78 should be workable so Richard Spencer's filly could take some stopping. The consistent Moon Flight is likely to be in the mix once again, while Night On Earth and Dark Kestrel also make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Juicy 2nd Moon Flight 3rd Night On Earth

Denied by just a neck on his belated debut over 7f here 13 days ago, PARTHENOPAEUS created a favourable impression and can go one place better, with the longer trip likely to suit the son of Pivotal. There should also be more to come from Waleefy who, like the selection, dwelt at the start on his first outing but ought to be wiser for the experience. Course maiden winner Tournelle is another to consider now upped in distance.
Prediction : 1st Parthenopaeus 2nd Waleefy 3rd Tournelle

Ultra-tough, The Caltonian is shortlisted despite his winning spree coming to an end with a comprehensive defeat inflicted by an improving rival in an apprentice handicap here last weekend. Intervention also comes into the reckoning based on a consistent string of recent efforts. However, JOHNNY JAMES is far less exposed than the majority and looks worth chancing from a potentially competitive mark.
Prediction : 1st Johnny James 2nd The Caltonian 3rd Intervention

SECRET DAAY (third) has been threatening to win a race of this nature of late and has another chance to shine on the back of four placed efforts from his last five starts. Just a head separated the selection when he was just behind Blackcurrent (second) in a similar contest Over C&D last month but he can turn the form around on the revised terms. Autumn Flight and Another Angel are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Secret Daay 2nd Blackcurrent 3rd Autumn Flight

HENERY HAWK fairly bolted up over C&D last month and a 9lb rise may not be enough to stop Linda Perratt's charge putting on a show once more. Tilsworth Ony Ta has been nudged up 3lb for a victory at Chelmsford and he was all out to score on that occasion so a bit more will be required to take the gold medal here. This step back down to the minimum trip may help Amber Dew, who just held on over 6f at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Henery Hawk 2nd Tilsworth Ony Ta 3rd Amber Dew

STALLONE kept on well to prevail over C&D last month and, back in handicap company, he may be able to get his head in front once again. Basholo dispatched of a subsequent winner over 5f at Wolverhampton last month and after finishing fifth at Southwell subsequently, she may be able to bounce back to form. The handicapper let Crocodile Power off scot-free after a solid third over 5f at Chelmsford and he can make the frame again.
Prediction : 1st Stallone 2nd Basholo 3rd Crocodile Power
