UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

YOUNG ENDLESS attempted to make it a fourth win on the bounce when denied at Lingfield last Monday. However, the six-year-old still produced a fine effort in defeat and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go one better. Educate has to be respected stepping back up in trip judged on his penultimate second over C&D, while others to note are Billy Bathgate and Cosmic Soul.
Prediction : 1st Young Endless 2nd Educate 3rd Billy Bathgate

The drop back to 7f is definitely a positive for Urgent Call having weakened again in the closing stages when tackling further at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. Balthamos is likely to be competitive once again, but it would be no surprise if JACKABI shed the maiden tag. Runner-up on both nursery starts of late, Ian Williams' gelding has been found a suitable opportunity.
Prediction : 1st Jackabi 2nd Urgent Call 3rd Balthamos

SUNLIT SEA has shaped with enough promise on both starts in nursery company to suggest she might gain her first career victory. The daughter of Mehmas finished third at Chelmsford earlier in the month and a repeat of that effort may suffice. Mystical Land drops to 5f for the first time and that could yield some improvement, while his stablemate Golden Havana (fifth) might reverse C&D form with Data Fata Secutus (fourth) with blinkers applied.
Prediction : 1st Sunlit Sea 2nd Mystical Land 3rd Golden Havana

INSPIRED should take some stopping on the evidence of his encouraging debut run here in January. He was well fancied that day and, given connections, should be fit and ready to do himself justice on his return. Glamorous Angela has had a couple of attempts and was beaten by the narrowest of margins here last time. She is noted along with Rajstar.
Prediction : 1st Inspired 2nd Glamorous Angela 3rd Rajstar

Ana Emaraaty likes it here and will be fancied by many to at least make the frame. Marcello Si is another who might represent some decent each-way value in a competitive heat, but MISS RAINCLOUD gets the vote. She has finished third here the last twice and will appreciate going back up to the mile judged on her latest run.
Prediction : 1st Miss Raincloud 2nd Ana Emaraaty 3rd Marcello Si

Another tough handicap for punters to solve here and FRONT GUNNER is the safe play. He has improved since switching to the all-weather in September and there didn't appear to be any fluke about his latest C&D triumph. Blufferonthebus is on a hat-trick and must be taken seriously, as should Carolus Magnus, who is sporting blinkers for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Front Gunner 2nd Blufferonthebus 3rd Carolus Magnus

SUPERIOR COUNCIL won over C&D last month and has backed that effort up by hitting the frame in two subsequent outings at this venue. Iain Jardine's gelding gets the vote ahead of Pit Boss, who can bounce back from his latest effort here. Call Glory was runner-up over C&D last Tuesday and has to enter calculations off a 2lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Superior Council 2nd Pit Boss 3rd Call Glory

TEARDROPS has progressed well in handicap company and arrives seeking a C&D hat-trick. Richard Spencer's charge defied a penalty last time and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him. Mister Sky Blue didn't get a clear run here last week and is expected to be in the mix once again. Spartan Fighter, Back Before Dark and Instant Bond appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Teardrops 2nd Mister Sky Blue 3rd Spartan Fighter

THUNDERSTORM KATIE won twice over 5f in October before not running to her best when returning to 6f here a fortnight ago. However, she is likely to prove much happier dropping back in trip and is taken to come out on top. Carlton And Co went close under a 5lb penalty at Chelmsford and she can go well along with Bibendum, who went up 6lb for scoring here last month.
Prediction : 1st Thunderstorm Katie 2nd Carlton And Co 3rd Bibendum
