UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

ROYAL BLAZE was only narrowly denied when second over C&D three weeks ago and the four-year-old could go one better on this occasion, despite a 2lb rise. The recent course winner Golspie is an obvious threat to the selection but does step up in trip, while the consistent Prince Quattro edges out Percy Willis to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Royal Blaze 2nd Golspie 3rd Prince Quattro

STARRYFIELD displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his debut at Doncaster in July and James Owen's colt could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Viking Glory is another who brings strong form to the table and has to be noted as a result, while any market support for Extremely Zain would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Starryfield 2nd Viking Glory 3rd Extremely Zain

Popty Ping and Container Express both merit plenty of respect following victories on their most recent outings. However, their new marks demand improvement from them and a chance can be taken with HENRIETTE RONNER. William Haggas' filly put in a career best in a maiden here last time and an opening mark of 62 should be workable on her nursery debut.
Prediction : 1st Henriette Ronner 2nd Popty Ping 3rd Container Express

TOWERLANDS secured a hat-trick when successful over a mile at Southwell 10 days ago and the in-form gelding could add another victory to his record here, despite a 4lb rise in the ratings. Bobby Joe Leg also won on his most recent outing, but Selection may be an even bigger threat as she may benefit from a drop in trip here.
Prediction : 1st Towerlands 2nd Selection 3rd Bobby Joe Leg

STIRRUP CUP returned to form when filling third place over C&D when last seen in November and it would be no surprise to see Tim Easterby's gelding play a leading role off a 1lb lower mark here. The consistent Monsieur Kodi has to be of interest as first-time cheekpieces may spark some progression, while Judgment Call and Maxi Boy complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Stirrup Cup 2nd Judgment Call 3rd Monsieur Kodi

The consistent FRANCESI bolted up over C&D two starts ago and was only narrowly denied off this mark at Wolverhampton a week ago. On that evidence, the six-year-old is the safest pick in an open event. Powerful Response has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, along with Second Fiddle.
Prediction : 1st Francesi 2nd Powerful Response 3rd Second Fiddle

INSTANT BOND has made the frame on his last couple of starts off this mark and this moderate contest appears to be an ideal opportunity for the four-year-old to secure his first victory. Mapledurham has been running well in defeat of late and could pose the biggest threat, although Rooska and Law Degree are others who could go very well.
Prediction : 1st Instant Bond 2nd Mapledurham 3rd Rooska

Bomb Squad and Little Ted both arrive here with strong claims following placed efforts on their most recent outings. However, preference is for ANA EMARAATY, who was beaten by less than a length when third over a mile here two weeks ago and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower mark on this occasion. Wyvern has an each-way shout.
Prediction : 1st Ana Emaraaty 2nd Bomb Squad 3rd Little Ted

The hat-trick seeking Yorkshire Glory has to be high on the shortlist following back-to-back C&D victories. That said, GOLDMOYNE bolted up over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and even an 11lb rise may still underestimate his ability. The rest have questions to answer right now, but Spun To Gold and Atomic Mass are the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Goldmoyne 2nd Yorkshire Glory 3rd Spun To Gold
