UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

A trappy contest in which the progressive High Court Judge, a winner of six of his last seven starts, is likely to be popular. He's yet to prove his stamina at this trip though and with a penalty to shoulder, he might be worth taking on with COMTE DE LOIR. The lightly-raced four-year-old recorded a narrow victory at Kempton last time out and with the prospect of more to come, a 3lb rise should not be a barrier to further success. Weddell Sea heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Comte De Loir 2nd High Court Judge 3rd Weddell Sea

Rebecca's Girl won twice here last month and although respected, her latest two efforts would suggest the handicapper is in control. However, that might not be the case for VIXEY, who got up in the dying strides at Southwell recently. She remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and, from a handy draw, looks set to go close. Sibyl Charm is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Vixey 2nd Rebeccas Girl 3rd Sibyl Charm

DC COGENT has chased home a couple of above-average rivals on each of his racecourse appearances and despite a three-month absence, is very hard to oppose in a contest lacking depth. El Cobre Fuego hit the frame over track and trip last time out and he will be thereabouts with a similar level of performance, while Mayday Mayday completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dc Cogent 2nd El Cobre Fuego 3rd Mayday Mayday

Frankies Dream has won three times already this year and is a must for consideration despite being held off this rating the last twice. Dr Ali is also shortlisted after a couple of encouraging efforts since joining John Jenkins. However, the vote goes to the unexposed RUN TO MY SIDE, who returned from a break with a good second to a well-supported favourite over C&D 11 days ago. The Al Kazeem filly appeals to go one place better from a workable mark on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Run To My Side 2nd Frankies Dream 3rd Dr Ali

PALLAS LORD has a good record at this venue and is hard to ignore under an 8lb penalty after his dominant display over course and distance last time. Turbo Command is a fellow track-and-trip winner who is a player off 2lb below his winning mark, while Bomb Squad and Captain Vallo are other interesting options to consider in an open event.
Prediction : 1st Pallas Lord 2nd Turbo Command 3rd Bomb Squad

Pockley returned to winning ways over C&D last week and the in-form seven-year-old has to be respected on the back of that effort. However, preference is for LATIN FIVE, who was short of room at a crucial stage when fifth in that contest and he meets the winner on 3lb better terms here. So Grateful is another to consider on the back of a narrow defeat at Southwell last time.
Prediction : 1st Latin Five 2nd Pockley 3rd So Grateful

TASEVER has run well in all four starts since winning over 7f here in January and the step up in trip may help the five-year-old to return to winning ways. Volenti was only beaten a nose into second over C&D 11 days ago and has to be of interest, despite a 2lb rise. Others to note are Code Purple and Trais Fluors.
Prediction : 1st Tasever 2nd Volenti 3rd Code Purple
