UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

CARRIG KATE has improved with each start since beginning her career under Rules and she looks the one to beat if building on a narrow defeat over further at Bangor in November. Not beaten far at Ayr and Haydock the last twice, Jo Coko looks to be the main danger to the selection, while St Olan's Well is another to note after a promising Rules debut effort at Ayr last month.
Prediction : 1st Carrig Kate 2nd Jo Coko 3rd St Olans Well

GREEN SKY showed improvement from first to second start for new connections when an encouraging third at Navan in November, and that form sets the standard. My Kiwi Girl can give her the most to think about following a career-best effort when second over 2m at Ayr last month. Leading trainer Willie Mullins is not known for sending many to this track, so Armed And Fabulous should be monitored for market support.
Prediction : 1st Green Sky 2nd My Kiwi Girl 3rd Armed And Fabulous

BENEFIT BEN could not have done it any easier when making all over further at Sedgefield recently, and he looks capable of overcoming a 7lb penalty in his bid to land the double. That may come at the main expense of Forsa Bay, who was runner-up over C&D last time out and could be very interesting off a mark of 102 on his handicap debut. Crystal Glance, Mister Smarty and Tread Softly Now are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Benefit Ben 2nd Forsa Bay 3rd Tread Softly Now

RATTLING ROAD readily completed a double in a similar contest over this track and trip last month and, upped 7lb, this upwardly-mobile chaser could prove tough to stop once more. Yealand wasn't disgraced when third over 2m3f at Doncaster last time out and, upped in trip off an unchanged mark, he looks the main danger to the selection. Wild Side Of Life is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Rattling Road 2nd Yealand 3rd Wild Side Of Life

AIRE SPRAY has made a smooth transition to handicaps, scoring twice from as many attempts, and he showed a likeable attitude when landing the spoils over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby most recently. Upped 9lb, he gets the vote to bring up a hat-trick for his in-form stable. Authorized Mission did it well when running out a comfortable winner over 2m6f here recently and he commands respect, along with Our Sam.
Prediction : 1st Aire Spray 2nd Authorized Mission 3rd Our Sam

DEMOISELLE KAP had plenty in hand when winning on her debut for this yard over hurdles at Sedgefield last week and she is hard to oppose off the same mark now switched to fences. Ensel Du Perche also scored on his most recent outing and the veteran could prove to be the main danger, although Flash Du Pistolet and Fia Fuinidh should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Demoiselle Kap 2nd Ensel Du Perche 3rd Flash Du Pistolet

Dramatic License has made the frame on both previous starts and he has to be of interest once again. That said, a chance can be taken on CONMAN JOHN, who was purchased for 170,000 pounds after winning an Irish point-to-point by 20 lengths in November. Upon Tweed shares his page with plenty of winners and any market support would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Conman John 2nd Dramatic License 3rd Upon Tweed
