UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

With nine career wins at the track Cusack is impossible to ignore and his ninth last time out can be easily forgiven after dropping back to 7f. He can get involved back up in trip, but ETRETAT is narrowly preferred. He beat Falcon Nine here over C&D in July and is weighted to confirm that form now. Fourth at Lingfield off this mark last month, he was only beaten half-a-length in a blanket finish, despite racing wide, and could get back to winning ways here.
Prediction : 1st Etretat 2nd Falcon Nine 3rd Cusack

Having stretched her winning sequence to five over C&D 10 days ago, Second Fiddle demands plenty of respect given her progressive profile. However, Iain Jardine's mare does have a 10lb hike in the handicap to overcome and it could be BOWOOD's turn to secure a first victory on the all-weather. The five-year-old has often looked a slave to the pace given his hold-up tactics, but this long straight could play into his hands. Alpine Sierra is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bowood 2nd Second Fiddle 3rd Alpine Sierra
