UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Trainer Grant Tuer has his string in good form and in a race with no winning form to work with, CALEDONIAN DREAM has every chance. Third at Redcar in July and again last time out at Musselburgh, he races off 1lb lower here suggesting he can get involved. Stable companion Shielas Well could be her main rival if she can bounce back to the level of her July and August seconds, leaving Charlie Johnson's Wedadi as a horse who may improve on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Caledonian Dream 2nd Shielas Well 3rd Wedadi

Far From Dandy looks an interesting newcomer for the George Boughey stable as a son of Far Above, and he looks worthy of a pre-race market watch, a remark that also applies to Archie Watson's Shaman colt Shamador, though both will need to be above average to get the better of PHILANTHROPIST. Second and only beaten a neck on his second start when running on strongly over this trip, any further progress may be all he needs to get off the mark at the third attempt.
Prediction : 1st Philanthropist 2nd Far From Dandy 3rd Shamador

Titainium is one to keep onside after battling back to win at Redcar, and with his 100% all-weather record after scoring here as a two-year-old. He can go well despite his new mark, but giving 10lb to SOLAR BENTLEY may be a big ask. An easy four length winner at Ffos Las last month, he does have 7lb more now, but if he can repeat that run on the all-weather he could follow up. Yippee might get the better of Sarmiento Power in the race for third.
Prediction : 1st Solar Bentley 2nd Titainium 3rd Yippee

THE REAL MCKAY resumed winning ways when fitted with a tongue-tie at Kempton. There should be more to come in the headgear and Ivan Furtado's unexposed filly looks worth sticking with. Asimov found the competition too hot at Newmarket last time, but can feature back at this level with cheekpieces added to the usual tongue-tie, while the lightly-raced Juicy is one to keep an eye on attempting 6f for the first time and is taken to reverse latest running here with Lady Celia.
Prediction : 1st The Real Mckay 2nd Asimov 3rd Juicy

Barefoot Warrior and Lattaash won at Thirsk and Southwell respectively, with the latter preferred today having been subsequently gelded. However, both are penalised for this and STANAGE can make the most of the weight concession, as he was only beaten a neck when upped to a mile at Windsor latest and first-time cheekpieces may spark further improvement. Buon Viaggio showed promise when fourth at Chelmsford on his debut and normal progress could see him in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Stanage 2nd Buon Viaggio 3rd Lattaash

A slow start at Ayr last time may have cost Wetherby winner EMINENT JEWEL another victory, given she was beaten less than a length in third. Richard Fahey's filly is still learning and gets another chance today as she's allowed to race off the same mark. Flavour Maker stayed on well at Kempton to force a dead-heat for first and should be thereabouts at the finish once again, while Petra Celera showed further progress when successful at Southwell but has a 5lb rise to contend with.
Prediction : 1st Eminent Jewel 2nd Flavour Maker 3rd Petra Celera

BICEP was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when filling the runner-up spot at Southwell last Tuesday. Grant Tuer's charge drops in class from 2lb lower today and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Keep Me Stable won over C&D last time out and she looks the main danger under her penalty, while others to note include Saisons D'Or, Streak Lightning and Novak.
Prediction : 1st Bicep 2nd Keep Me Stable 3rd Saisons DOr

This would appear to be fairly open, and a chance can be taken on TRIPLE FORCE. Craig Lidster's three-year-old struggled in a warm York handicap in May before being far from disgraced in two races since then. He's had a tendency to run freely, though, so if a first-time hood may enable him to race more amenably, then he could be more competitive. Strangerontheshore has been running well in defeat of late and she's entitled to be thereabouts, along with Havana Smoke, while King Sharja struggled on soft ground recently but he can be forgiven for that display.
Prediction : 1st Triple Force 2nd Strangerontheshore 3rd Havana Smoke
