UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Orbital went agonisingly close over C&D a fortnight ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may help to eke out a bit more from the daughter of Pivotal. The vote goes to SOL CAYO, though, who appeared to relish the return to an artificial surface last time out and might be able to build on that performance. Orange N Blue is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Sol Cayo 2nd Orbital 3rd Orange N Blue

Although HENERY HAWK has made little impact on his last three turf starts, the five-year-old has a far better record on artificial surfaces and, now 13lb below his last winning mark, it would come as no surprise were Linda Perratt's charge to find a return to form. Others to note include Show Me Show Me, Lady Of The Garr and Recon Mission.
Prediction : 1st Henery Hawk 2nd Show Me Show Me 3rd Lady Of The Garr

VOLENTI continued his fine spell of form when winning over C&D recently and although a 5lb penalty will make life tougher, he holds outstanding claims against some out-of-form rivals and is taken to go in again. Jujubella finished behind the selection in third that day and may find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Commander Crouch heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Volenti 2nd Jujubella 3rd Commander Crouch

Steps In Time has shown enough ability on both of his starts to date to suggest a race of this nature would be within his compass, but he may come out second best to LONGHAIRED GENERAL. Craig Lidster's three-year-old was last seen finishing third at Redcar in July and sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 79. Any market support behind Lechuga Lad would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Longhaired General 2nd Steps In Time 3rd Lechuga Lad

Jkr Cobbler is in fine form at present and should mount a bold bid in his attempt to complete a C&D hat-trick, but it may pay to side with REBECCA'S GIRL. The daughter of Sioux Nation finished over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over a mile here last time and the drop back in trip might work the oracle. Panama City is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Rebeccas Girl 2nd Jkr Cobbler 3rd Panama City

THE RIDLER bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot on his latest outing and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 2lb. Richard Fahey's four-year-old should have no issues with this drop in trip and can go one better. The main threat is Mondammej, who is seeking a C&D hat-trick and holds an obvious chance. Paddy's Day is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Ridler 2nd Mondammej 3rd Paddys Day

Beale Street won here last month, but paid the price for missing the break back at this track last time, and JACKSON STREET looks a safer proposition. Dylan Cunha's inmate remains unexposed over 6f, having scored over course and distance a fortnight ago, and another bold bid looks on the cards. Rapido Girl is likely to be in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Jackson Street 2nd Beale Street 3rd Rapido Girl

EMILY POST wasn't beaten far when fourth at Southwell last time. The third-placed horse has subsequently won, so that form looks solid enough, and Michael Dods' sprinter was winning off a higher mark at this venue last year. Lequinto is potentially well treated on previous winning form and is not easily dismissed, while King's School gets a change of headgear and could also land a blow.
Prediction : 1st Emily Post 2nd Lequinto 3rd Kings School

CUT TO THE CHASE was having only his fifth outing on the all-weather when successful here last week. He seemingly won with plenty left in the tank and has enough scope for further improvement to defy a penalty. She'sashambles has solid claims having found only one too good over course and distance on her latest start, while Royal City returns from a break with a chance.
Prediction : 1st Cut To The Chase 2nd Shesashambles 3rd Royal City
