UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Tyraxes showed promise with his debut third when beaten four lengths after weakening over a mile and a half at Lingfield and he should go well dropped in trip. ALOBAYYAH made a lasting impression when quickening to win on her Yarmouth debut, but wasn't seen for 10 months before finishing midfield in a Group 3 at Sandown. If she improves for that and the added two furlongs, she could get back to winning ways. Antrim seems the likeliest to follow them home for the Gosdens.
Prediction : 1st Alobayyah 2nd Tyraxes 3rd Antrim

Royal Blaze arrives in form after a C&D win September, but he has an added 4lb now and steps up a class. Molinari goes in the other direction and with two wins to his name here, he can go close, but JACK SPAROWE gets the nod. A much-improved neck second in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton when headed late on, he races off the same mark now with the drop in trip a likely bonus, despite a rise in grade.
Prediction : 1st Jack Sparowe 2nd Molinari 3rd Royal Blaze

Capitalization must have been showing something to cost 260,000 pounds at the Breeze-Ups in April but he is yet to prove his worth with a third at Southwell in September, his best effort yet. STARMADE saw his run blocked before his debut third and then tried to make all over a furlong further when caught late on to finish second. Back to the minimum trip now, he could make all to come home alone, with Fille Unique the suggestion for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Starmade 2nd Capitalization 3rd Fille Unique

Just a neck separated Fizzy Cristal and Thornaby Annie when they finished second and third in a similar event over this course and distance 10 days ago and it would be no surprise to see that pair heavily involved at the finish again. However, TAAKLAM looks the type to do better now he goes handicapping and Ed Walker's gelding could provide a bit of value debuting in a nursery off a potentially lenient rating of just 63.
Prediction : 1st Taaklam 2nd Fizzy Cristal 3rd Thornaby Annie

With the bottom four set to run from out of the handicap and the majority of the rest struggling to find their form, this could be a good time to side with RAIN CAP. Although currently winless on the all-weather, the eight-year-old has been placed here off higher marks in the past and may prove tough to deal with if replicating his recent turf form back on Tapeta. Flash The Dash and The Real McKay are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rain Cap 2nd Flash The Dash 3rd The Real McKay

RAVISHING BEAUTY had been in excellent form prior to a below-par run at Thirsk last month and is well worth another chance in this company. Still unexposed on the all-weather, Jedd O'Keeffe's filly is better judged on the form that saw her win twice on turf at the height of summer. Assuming she bounces back, this could be well within her reach. Hostelry and Blufferonthebus are closely-matched old rivals who can be competitive on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Ravishing Beauty 2nd Hostelry 3rd Blufferonthebus

THE ACTOR joined Julie Camacho at the start of the year and posted his best effort for the yard so far when third at Hamilton last time. That suggests a return to winning ways could be imminent and the son of Harry Angel may prove the one to side with. Miss Yorkshire looks worth another try over this shorter trip having placed again over 7f here last time, while the veteran Fortamour cannot be ruled out in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st The Actor 2nd Miss Yorkshire 3rd Fortamour

SECOND FIDDLE landed a hat-trick in convincing fashion when winning an apprentices' race over C&D five days ago. She can effectively race off a 4lb lower mark on this occasion and Iain Jardine's charge could prove hard to beat. The normally consistent Sassy Glory won here last month and may bounce back from a poor effort last time, while Harry Palmer returns to the all-weather with a shout off his current mark.
Prediction : 1st Second Fiddle 2nd Sassy Glory 3rd Harry Palmer
