UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Prince Quattro went agonisingly close on his Flat handicap bow at Southwell and further progress looks likely, but ARCIMBOLDO could be the value. Mike Sowersby's charge was unfancied when third over C&D two starts ago and went under the radar once again at Southwell last time, going down narrowly. The three-year-old has plenty of scope for improvement and this lowly mark looks well within range. Others to note include Different Drum and Educate.
Prediction : 1st Arcimboldo 2nd Prince Quattro 3rd Different Drum

THE TUNGUSKA EVENT took a giant leap forward to score emphatically on his nursery debut and although 9lb higher, he could still have plenty in hand. An opening mark of 68 looks fair for Yorkshire Queen who, like the selection, can do better now handicapping. Mereside Princess might not be suited by a drop in trip but she must enter calculations nonetheless.
Prediction : 1st The Tunguska Event 2nd Yorkshire Queen 3rd Mereside Princess

CLOUDS HILL and Monty Beau have produced a similar level of form on both of their starts so far, but the former shades preference. It was no disgrace to be beaten by the now 97-rated Archivist at Leicester last time out and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice. Forest Caper continues to frustrate, but is more than capable.
Prediction : 1st Clouds Hill 2nd Monty Beau 3rd Forest Caper

Jack Callan has won on his last two rides on Unassuming, including at Wolverhampton last month, but the mare was a costly failure on her only previous try at this trip so is passed over in favour of BENACRE. Charlie Johnston's five-year-old has held his form well since a Southwell success and is a 7f specialist. Eldrickjones has slipped to a nice mark and will relish the return to Newcastle, whereas Kullazain isn't proven on the surface but has kept good company.
Prediction : 1st Benacre 2nd Unassuming 3rd Eldrickjones

Society Girl went into a few notebooks when a staying-on fourth on her debut in a Yarmouth maiden that should produce winners. Hoseki also made a promising start when third at Newbury, but it is hard not to be swayed by the pedigree of BRILLIANT STAR. The daughter of Cracksman is out of the stable's Irish Oaks heroine Star Catcher, who also won the Ribblesdale, Vermeille and on British Champions Day, and the Gosdens have been known to introduce a smart filly here.
Prediction : 1st Brilliant Star 2nd Society Girl 3rd Hoseki

Ardaddy returned from an absence a different animal, breaking his duck at Southwell last month, and the third has gone close since to give the form a little boost. However, the decision to turn PIT BOSS out again quickly can reap reward because Liam Bailey's gelding was just denied over C&D and competes off the same rating. Law Degree, a good third at Musselburgh recently, has had plenty of racing during his two seasons, yet this is his first appearance on an artificial surface.
Prediction : 1st Pit Boss 2nd Ardaddy 3rd Law Degree

The stands side rail has become something of a golden highway on the straight course here and, berthed well in stall 11, HAWORTH STAR could use that to his advantage. The son of Bated Breath was something of an unfortunate second over C&D latest and compensation may await. Dr Ali outran big odds to finish second at Southwell and is respected from an unchanged mark, as is Flash The Dash, who was better than the bare result would suggest last time.
Prediction : 1st Haworth Star 2nd Dr Ali 3rd Flash The Dash

A return to the all-weather worked the oracle for KORROOR last time and a 4lb rise looks fair. The four-year-old gets on well with Tom Kiely-Marshall and remains well treated on past exploits, so another big run is anticipated. A Lady Forever appeared ready for a step up in trip latest and she could be a real danger, along with the likes of Bishop's Glory and Glendown, while Rory shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Korroor 2nd A Lady Forever 3rd Bishops Glory

ALLIGATOR ALLEY lost all chance at the start after his blindfold was removed late last time, but he defeated a few of these over C&D the start prior and may well bounce back. He's not the force of old but Ruth Carr's eight-year-old retains plenty of ability and might be too strong for Blue Lakota, who recorded a narrow C&D triumph recently. Miss Hathaway hit the woodwork at Southwell and is expected to go well from her handy draw.
Prediction : 1st Alligator Alley 2nd Blue Lakota 3rd Miss Hathaway
