UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

BUZZ BOX, who dead-heated over course and distance in January, is appealing back at this trip after another good effort over the minimum distance here last time out and should have more to give from just 3lb higher. Allotted a favourable draw, the selection can sit handy as events unfold and he may prove too progressive for the likes of fellow course winners Wren Officer and Cross The Tracks.
Prediction : 1st Buzz Box 2nd Wren Officer 3rd Cross The Tracks

This appears to be another good piece of placement by William Haggas as the twice-raced TREASURE TIME bids to gain a first career success. The selection filled the runner-up spot in a Kempton novice when last seen and, given the third has since advertised that form with a win and now sits on a mark of 85, the son of Time Test could be a cut above the opposition. Jungle Land looked promising at Ayr 10 days ago and goes on the shortlist along with potential improver, Midnight's Dream.
Prediction : 1st Treasure Time 2nd Jungle Land 3rd Midnights Dream

Sea Legend posted some respectable form during his time in Ireland and has to be of interest with a hood applied on stable debut for the James Fanshawe yard. Abbey Gardens has also switched yards since she was last seen and is worth a betting check for a shrewd operation. However, there are some wily characters in opposition this time, with none appealing more for a bit of value than SENSE OF WORTH, who shades preference returning to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Sense Of Worth 2nd Sea Legend 3rd Abbey Gardens

Natzor has filled the runner-up spot on both starts for the David O'Meara yard and is likely to go well once again off the same mark as his most recent effort at Hamilton. However, he could come out second best to ANJO BONITA, who has been victorious on two of her last three outings and she gets the vote to make a winning return to action. Furzig is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Anjo Bonita 2nd Natzor 3rd Furzig

MAFNOOD was beaten five lengths into second on his return to action at Doncaster last month and he could take a step forward from that effort. Richard Hannon's gelding remains on the same mark and may find the improvement needed to go one better. The main threat might be the hat-trick seeking Rocket Warrior, who went in by a length at Chelmsford in March and it would be no surprise to see him feature. Of the remainder, Cloudy Skye makes the most appeal on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Mafnood 2nd Rocket Warrior 3rd Cloudy Skye

Fairbanks was a shade disappointing when only managing sixth on his return at Thirsk, but he is entitled to improve off a 1lb lower mark and with the booking of Oisin Murphy to aid his cause. However, AEROSPACE looks the way to go. The son of Sea The Stars is unbeaten in two outings for Archie Watson and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests over 1m2f here last time. The runner-up did the form no harm by running well at Chester during the week and, with the likelihood of more to come up in trip, the five-year-old is the one to be on. Recent C&D winner La Pulga is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Aerospace 2nd Fairbanks 3rd La Pulga

Three-time C&D scorer ZIP lost little in defeat when runner-up in a class 2 event at Haydock recently and compensation could await the veteran on this return to the all-weather. The biggest threat appears to be Eldrickjones, who returned to action with a close-up second at Southwell last month, while fellow in-form rivals Swiss Ace and Longlai aren't easily dismissed, in what looks an open contest.
Prediction : 1st Zip 2nd Eldrickjones 3rd Swiss Ace

Although KING'S LYNN was unable to capitalise on a declining mark at Goodwood recently, that second-placed effort marked a return to form. Andrew Balding's charge makes plenty of appeal racing off the same rating and a fifth career success could be on the horizon. Last month's Newbury third Bosh won't mind this switch to Tapeta and the five-year-old should give another good account of himself. Misty Grey and Dare To Hope are also worth a closer look.
Prediction : 1st Kings Lynn 2nd Bosh 3rd Misty Grey
