UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Force Of Honour scored in more comfortable fashion than the length distance suggested over 1m at Redcar eight days ago. A repeat of that effort would see him go close, but a 6lb penalty may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals. Therefore, a chance is taken on MOONLIT STAGE, who was only beaten a half-length over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month, and raised just 1lb, he can benefit for this slight step up in trip. Gretna Dreams is also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Moonlit Stage 2nd Force Of Honour 3rd Gretna Dreams

Having not quite lasted the trip when caught late over 1m3f at Kempton last month, this represents a good opportunity for ROYAL DREAM to go one better. Ed Dunlop's charge scored over this distance off 2lb lower in May and he looks likely to take the beating. The evergreen Highwaygrey is feared most after finishing third at Redcar last time, while Alpen Power is capable of bouncing back from his latest performance.
Prediction : 1st Royal Dream 2nd Highwaygrey 3rd Alpen Power

THUNDERING was unlucky in-running when beaten just more than a length over C&D in July and, with a clear passage on this occasion, he looks the one to beat. Kevin Ryan's charge has survived a hike in the ratings for that effort which can be exploited. The most significant questions to the selection are likely to be posed by Saratoga Gold, who is likely to be running on well at the line after a good second over 1m4f at Pontefract last month, while Appier is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Thundering 2nd Saratoga Gold 3rd Appier

The Gosden team may not be in the rudest of form at present, but this appeals as an ideal opportunity for BYBLOS, who was an eye-catcher on debut when keeping on late in the piece over 7f at Kempton. Stepping up to a mile should suit, as a half-brother to a Classic winner in Siskin, and he is narrowly preferred to Tornado Alert, who ran a highly encouraging race first time out at Lingfield last month when not beaten far in third. A well-bred son of Kingman, who has a pedigree that points to being better over further, Reign Of Honour should be monitored for market support.
Prediction : 1st Byblos 2nd Tornado Alert 3rd Reign Of Honour

A determined winner here over 5f on his penultimate outing and a respectable fourth over this distance at Redcar last month, the versatile BRIGHT sets the standard on form and he is taken to notch up a fifth career success. Narrowly denied in his attempt to land the double at Southwell, Blazing Son can give him the most to think about, along with As If By Chance, who was unlucky over C&D last time out when not getting a clear run and eventually running on in third.
Prediction : 1st Bright 2nd Blazing Son 3rd As If By Chance

This can go the way of veteran EQUIANO SPRINGS, who is turned out again quickly, having been given too much to do from the rear when running on late at Newmarket recently. Tom Tate's charge remains 1lb lower than his last success and is taken to get his head back in front. Dickieburd would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second at York. C&D winner Catherine Chroi is another to consider, as well as Beattie Is Back and Rayat.
Prediction : 1st Equiano Springs 2nd Dickieburd 3rd Catherine Chroi

Having been outpaced over 6f in her latest defeats, the extra furlong could see HIGH VIOLET back in the winner's enclosure. The three-year-old found herself with too much to do when fifth at Yarmouth last month and she should travel more sweetly going a step slower in this contest. Course winner Project Geofin is likely to relish a return to this surface and is feared most, ahead of in-form rival Profit Street.
Prediction : 1st High Violet 2nd Project Geofin 3rd Profit Street

TAYGAR's recent close-up fourth at Redcar can be upgraded after stumbling over a furlong from home. A 1lb drop could prove on the lenient side for Michael Dods' filly and she's fancied to make a winning all-weather debut. Dc Flyer has been in decent heart since his C&D triumph in early August and another good account is forecast on the back of a wind procedure. Let's Go Hugo and Leodis Dream are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Taygar 2nd Dc Flyer 3rd Lets Go Hugo

Having pulled hard on his placed efforts at Ripon (1m2f) and Catterick (1m4f) on his most recent outings, DUE CONSIDERATION is likely to appreciate this return to a mile. Adrian Nicholls' three-year-old looks more than capable of scoring off an unchanged mark and he edges the vote over Triple Force. The Land Force gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Southwell and another prominent role is expected. Etretat and Love Warrior are unlikely to be far away, either.
Prediction : 1st Due Consideration 2nd Triple Force 3rd Etretat
