UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

EVA ROSIE arrives here on the back of two seconds over a mile at this venue in recent weeks and the step up in trip could help the four-year-old to go one better. Wheres The Crumpet filled the runner-up spot when last seen over this C&D two starts ago and she has to be of interest, while Mr Coco Bean completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Eva Rosie 2nd Wheres The Crumpet 3rd Mr Coco Bean

RUN BOY RUN filled second place in three of his four starts as a juvenile and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for Richard Spencer's gelding to get off the mark. Restless Prince represents a yard that can get one ready first time out and any market support for him would have to be noted. Others to consider are Grandlad and Born To Charm.
Prediction : 1st Run Boy Run 2nd Restless Prince 3rd Grandlad

Blacklion has to be of interest having filled second place on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last week, but marginal preference is for TAKEITYOUREMINE. Archie Watson's filly put in a career-best when runner-up in maiden company last month and a mark of 46 should be workable on her handicap bow, especially as she may improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Trust Time edges out Loubiere to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Takeityouremine 2nd Blacklion 3rd Trust Time

On just his second start for Grant Tuer, LAHAB finished one and a half lengths behind the in-form Danielsflyer over a mile here earlier this month but a 5lb swing in the weights, coupled with the step back to 7f, can see that form reversed this time around. One More Dream clearly thrives off racing, having already run four times this month, and on the back of an admirable second off a 1lb lower mark last week, the consistent son of Bated Breath holds obvious claims to at least hit the frame once more.
Prediction : 1st Lahab 2nd Danielsflyer 3rd One More Dream

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when coming from off the pace over 6f at Kempton most recently and the suspicion is that a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Tony Carroll's five-year-old. Water Of Leith kept on well when finishing second over 5f at Wolverhampton last week and, stepping up to 6f off an unchanged mark, he commands respect. Sydney Bay is 4lb above his last winning mark but providing a recent wind operation has the desired effect, he can make his presence felt in a race of this nature.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Express 2nd Water Of Leith 3rd Sydney Bay

Golden Rainbow is at the top of his game and is attractively weighted for his return to handicap company, despite a 5lb penalty imposed for Monday's cosy success in a classified stakes over this course and distance. However, this is competitive, with the likes of Mumcat, Latin Five (winner) and PHOENIX STAR (second) all boasting solid credentials. The latter in particular captures the imagination and, assuming he breaks sharply, the eight-year-old can turn around recent C&D form with Latin Five on these revised terms.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Star 2nd Latin Five 3rd Golden Rainbow

DRAKEHOLES delivered his challenge a fraction too late when he finished a neck second in a similar race over this course and distance 15 days ago. However, with the third home in that race subsequently boosting the form, there is good reason to give the five-year-old another chance. Copper Mountain rates the chief danger from a handy draw, although Rum Runner cannot be dismissed either.
Prediction : 1st Drakeholes 2nd Copper Mountain 3rd Rum Runner
