UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

ZIVANIYA bounced back to form when winning over this distance at Kempton three weeks ago and the Hugo Palmer-trained four-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Real Terms also scored on her most recent outing, at Southwell last week, and is an obvious threat if she stays, while the in-form The Craftymaster and Captain Square are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Zivaniya 2nd Real Terms 3rd The Craftymaster

BOBBY SHAFTOE won over C&D 11 days ago and that was his second victory from his last three starts. Off just a 3lb higher mark, Jim Goldie's gelding could take plenty of stopping once again. Night Bear was a length and a half away in third behind the selection last week and could get closer on 4lb better terms. Geelong and Eloped are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bobby Shaftoe 2nd Night Bear 3rd Geelong

Prince Achille has to be respected following his C&D win, but a 5lb rise will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, preference is for BUSBY, who returned to form when third over this track and trip last month and he can race off a 1lb lower mark now. Humble Spark edges out Urban Road to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Busby 2nd Prince Achille 3rd Humble Spark

STAR JASMINE had Absolute Star just behind her in third when touched off over 7f here on her racecourse debut. Upped in trip and with improvement on the cards, George Boughey's charge is fancied to confirm that form en route to victory. Kingman filly Bolsena is related to some class acts and she might make more of an impact as a three-year-old, while Royal runner Rainbows Edge warrants a market check ahead of her first start.
Prediction : 1st Star Jasmine 2nd Bolsena 3rd Absolute Star

Keldeo wasn't disgraced on her handicap bow at Catterick in September and she's worth a second look, being a half-sister to an all-weather winner. However, the vote goes to ZIGGY'S MISSILE, who arrives following wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell. A further 8lb rise might not be enough to prevent the progressive son of Blue Point going in again, while Tees Douge, who might improve for the fitting of a first-time hood, heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ziggys Missile 2nd Keldeo 3rd Tees Douge

The unbeaten Filly One is likely to have her supporters after justifying favouritism by just over two lengths over track and trip in December, and she warrants huge respect on her handicap debut. However, preference is for ARTISTIC MISSION, who has progressed with each run to date and his most recent second at Southwell makes a mark of 74 look attractive. The son of Showcasing was beaten by Roman Emperor, who is currently rated 80, so he looks to have a big chance. Siobhanbrogan completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Artistic Mission 2nd Filly One 3rd Siobhanbrogan

BONITO CAVALO is in the form of his life after making it six wins from his last seven starts, which means he has improved a whopping 32lb since January. The manner of the five-year-old's latest C&D victory shows he might not be done improving yet. Pepsi Cat has been in good form over track and trip this year and is taken to go well, while last-time-out winner Castan won't go down without a fight.
Prediction : 1st Bonito Cavalo 2nd Pepsi Cat 3rd Castan
