UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Kinetic made it four wins from six starts since joining the James Owen yard at Southwell on her latest outing and she holds an obvious chance again. However, it may pay to side with ROYAL COLLEGE, who showed promise on his first two starts at Hamilton and Windsor before disappointing at Beverley last time. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old now takes a step up in trip and might be able to defy his opening mark of 70. Polar Princess completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Royal College 2nd Kinetic 3rd Polar Princess

LESLEY'S BOY failed to fire when only managing ninth at Newmarket in August, but he may have blown his chance away before the start that day after giving his rider problems on the way to the post. If the son of Kodi Bear builds on his success at Ripon two starts ago, he could prove tough to beat. Tiete has hit the crossbar on both of her nursery starts and she now sports first-time cheekpieces, so it will be no surprise to see her get involved. Del Ray is pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lesleys Boy 2nd Tiete 3rd Del Ray

Jacks My Boy and Countess Candy both come into this contest on the back of victories, but the latter is the pick of the pair after her impressive triumph over 1m2f here last month. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer SPETSES, who is related to plenty of winners and represents powerful connections. The son of Get Stormy might be able to make an instant impression on his racecourse debut.
Prediction : 1st Spetses 2nd Countess Candy 3rd Jacks My Boy

Now that THEME PARK has regained the winning thread after a taking success at Pontefract last time out, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the four-year-old and he can land the double. Sniper's Eye got up late to score over further at Yarmouth last month and he must enter calculations, along with recent Southwell winner Baraq.
Prediction : 1st Theme Park 2nd Snipers Eye 3rd Baraq

Having not been outside the first two on her last five starts here, BAROSSA looks the one to beat on the back of a narrow reversal over C&D last month. Runner-up over the same track and trip on his most recent outing, Drakeholes is taken to uphold form with Asadjumeirah (fourth). Polly The Rocket and Portoro are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Barossa 2nd Drakeholes 3rd Asadjumeirah

GORDONSTOUN (third) may have a length to make up with Yaahobby (first) from their most recent clash over C&D, but Liam Bailey's charge is 5lb better off on this occasion and was carried left late in that contest. He can regain the winning thread, with Concert Boy (sixth) another to note from that event. Elettaria, whose last win came at this track a year ago, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Gordonstoun 2nd Yaahobby 3rd Elettaria

Pallas Lord is hard to ignore with seven career wins at this venue, but he hasn't been seen since April and lacks race fitness. Strangerontheshore has to be considered as a C&D winner, but BERNADINE is still preferred. Only beaten a length at Southwell last month, she was put up 1lb for that, but Kaiya Fraser now claims 3lb from the saddle and she looks attractively handicapped.
Prediction : 1st Bernadine 2nd Pallas Lord 3rd Strangerontheshore

Paul Midgley won this in 2022 and has two chances here, with Beverley fourth Silky Robin seemingly the best of them on his return from a wind operation. He can go well despite top-weight, but he may have to give way to MUSICAL DIVA. A beaten joint-favourite last time out at Beverley, she deserves a third win after numerous placed efforts. Southwell second Street Life is another to consider, with Rhys Elliott's 7lb claim a major bonus.
Prediction : 1st Musical Diva 2nd Silky Robin 3rd Street Life

SPARTAN FIGHTER clearly loves it here with six victories and plenty of places to his name, and he returned to form when a short-head second here last time out. He looks all set for another big run in this field, having won off higher marks in the past. One Of Our Own has won three times this year at Catterick and if she can transfer her best form to the all-weather, she could go well. Flash The Dash is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spartan Fighter 2nd One Of Our Own 3rd Flash The Dash
