UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

This looks a suitable opportunity for the Ewan Whillans-trained BELLA BLUESKY to regain the winning thread. The eight-year-old posted a solid second over C&D last week and she looks the one to beat racing off the same rating. Fellow in-form rival Gold Aura is a potential improver on this first attempt over an extended 1m4f. The Golden Horn filly is feared most, ahead of Percy Willis.
Prediction : 1st Bella Bluesky 2nd Gold Aura 3rd Percy Willis

BIG NARSTIE had little difficulty in completing a double over this distance at Southwell recently and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Mick Appleby's gelding from securing a hat-trick. Angel Amadea has undergone a wind procedure since her close-up second over track and trip last month. The daughter of Dark Angel is a viable alternative to the selection and she isn't taken lightly, while the returning How Bizarre warrants respect in his bid to land a four-timer.
Prediction : 1st Big Narstie 2nd Angel Amadea 3rd How Bizarre

Red Walls should appreciate this return to 5f and he arrives here in better form than most. However, dual C&D scorer GOLDEN RAINBOW makes slightly more appeal in his current heart. Following a C&D success, Rebecca Menzies' charge lost little in defeat when runner-up off his revised mark here last time out and a similar performance could prove sufficient. Another Angel was two lengths behind the selection in third that day and the veteran completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Golden Rainbow 2nd Red Walls 3rd Another Angel

Rishi finished third on his handicap debut over 5f at Wolverhampton in January and he looks an interesting contender off a 1lb lower rating on his first start for the Tristan Davidson yard. However, the vote goes to MISS RAINBOW, who produced the best performance of her career so far to fill the runner-up berth over this C&D in October and she can go one better off an unchanged mark. Amazing Winnie completes the shoirtlist in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Miss Rainbow 2nd Rishi 3rd Amazing Winnie

Forever Noah took a step forward from his debut effort to finish third over 7f at Lingfield, and the step down in trip looks a good move. However, he could come out second best to CAJETAN, who sets a stiff standard with a rating of 81 and has been gelded since last seen. Jack Channon's charge could make his experience tell and looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. Any market confidence behind Johnny Thunder would be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Cajetan 2nd Forever Noah 3rd Johnny Thunder

INEXPLICABLE was denied by just a head in his bid to land a 10th career victory at Southwell last week. Compensation could await if he copes with this quick turnaround and he makes most appeal. Child Of Lir raced in the second division of that contest and he's also sure to prove popular given his second-placed effort. He should give another good account of himself, while Dandys Gold is a potential threat if her stamina lasts.
Prediction : 1st Inexplicable 2nd Child Of Lir 3rd Dandys Gold

MAN OF A'AN's stamina appeared stretched by 1m2f when a respectable third on his handicap bow at Newbury last season. The four-year-old has since joined the in-form Liam Bailey and he's taken to make the perfect stable bow on this drop to a mile. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Zumaaty, who races off the same mark as when a close-up second at Wolverhampton last week. Nights Over Egypt is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Man Of AAn 2nd Zumaaty 3rd Nights Over Egypt
