UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, including on the all-weather at Chelmsford last time out, MAJAZ deserves a change in luck and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Winter Flower didn't show much first time out at Goodwood, but she is entitled to improve, while Nasebah must be respected on debut for the Gosdens.
Prediction : 1st Majaz 2nd Winter Flower 3rd Nasebah

COLOANE may have a neck to make up with the reopposing Tiberio Force from their clash at Ripon last month, but she has since scored easily at Southwell over 1m and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, Daring Leader must be another leading contender with Jason Hart a positive booking.
Prediction : 1st Coloane 2nd Tiberio Force 3rd Daring Leader

An eye-catcher on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last time out when not getting a clear run and staying on well in third, BELAYA RIVER is likely to relish going up to this trip and he is taken to break the maiden. Awarded first spot after interference at Ffos Las last month, Jedhi Knight should have more improvement forthcoming off 2lb higher, while Captain Robert and Star Of Markinch are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Belaya River 2nd Jedhi Knight 3rd Star Of Markinch

Not Now Nathaniel gained a first success on the level at Newmarket, but a 5lb rise does ask more of Donald McCain's mare. With that in mind, LIGHTNING TOUCH may have the perfect opportunity to get off the mark. The daughter of Frankel went close when denied by a head at Wolverhampton and remains unexposed over 1m4f. Idyllic and Pique' appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lightning Touch 2nd Not Now Nathaniel 3rd Idyllic

Al Joory took a step back in the right direction when placing in a Kempton handicap and has to be respected off an unchanged mark. Vibrant Pearl got her head in front at Carlisle last time and appears to be an obvious contender, but ALPINE GIRL may just have their measure. She has clearly benefited from a change of scenery, winning twice for Julie Camacho, and is likely to have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Alpine Girl 2nd Al Joory 3rd Vibrant Pearl

GET UP EVERYBODY has gradually improved in his most recent outings and the son of Invincible Army has every chance of going one better following his runner-up effort at Thirsk. Promise Time brings a consistent level of form to the table and commands plenty of respect, while Sole Spirit is worth forgiving his disappointing attempt to land the hat-trick at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Get Up Everybody 2nd Promise Time 3rd Sole Spirit

Monsieur Bondy built on a promising debut effort when getting off the mark at Redcar, but he may face a tougher ask in trying to give 7lb to SPITZBERGEN. The Crisfords' gelding returned from a wind operation to finish second at Kempton and the overall strength of that display may be enough for him to go one better. Correspondence remains open to improvement on just his third career outing.
Prediction : 1st Spitzbergen 2nd Monsieur Bondy 3rd Correspondence

BUTTERCROSS FLYER was forced to race wide throughout when she was a creditable third at Lingfield on Monday and the quick reappearance back on Tapeta suggests connections hold strong hopes of the four-year-old extending her good run of recent form. Cooperation also appeals after a near miss over a mile here 13 days ago, with a 2lb higher rating looking fair. All four of Tasever's previous career wins came at this venue and he is another must for consideration.
Prediction : 1st Buttercross Flyer 2nd Cooperation 3rd Tasever

Even though reliability probably isn't King Sharja's greatest asset, he has won back-to-back races before and and cannot be ruled out from supplementing his Beverley success gained at the end of July. However, the still competitively-weighted ENPASSANT has a slightly stronger overall profile and he gets the vote after a win and second-placed finish from his last two starts. Carolus Magnus and Patontheback can also be on the premises at this level.
Prediction : 1st Enpassant 2nd King Sharja 3rd Carolus Magnus
