UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Saxophonic has failed to land a blow in his three appearances so far, but could prove a different proposition as he takes a step up in trip on his handicap bow. Lope Harswell struck over 7f here in December and is one to watch, but the one who appeals most is ONYEISI. Runner-up in each of his last three outings, Charlie Johnston's three-year-old looks to have been found a good opportunity to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Onyeisi 2nd Saxophonic 3rd Lope Harswell

TEARDROPS has improved 15lb since November, recording three C&D victories during that time, and finished a good second over track and trip on his latest outing. Competing off an unchanged mark, the four-year-old can continue on his upward curve. Laurens Dream sports first-time blinkers after finding one too good in a classified stakes at Southwell and won't have any issues dropping back a furlong in trip. Asadjumeirah looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Teardrops 2nd Laurens Dream 3rd Asadjumeirah

It's hard to get away from SPARTAN FIGHTER, who completed a C&D hat-trick last month and is now 5lb higher. Based on the manner of his most recent success, the son of Dutch Art can go in again. Yorkshire Glory finished fourth behind the selection prior to sporting first-time cheekpieces to score over track and trip, He has to be considered along with Pit Boss, who is still in search of a first career victory.
Prediction : 1st Spartan Fighter 2nd Yorkshire Glory 3rd Pit Boss

Bibendum and Spun To Gold have decent records at this venue, but recent efforts would have been costly to follow. Yaahobby likes it here too, although he is 1lb wrong at the weights and carries the associated risk. With all that considered, a chance is taken that the well-bred RAJSTAR leaves his past form behind to make a successful handicap debut over a trip that could prove ideal.
Prediction : 1st Rajstar 2nd Bibendum 3rd Spun To Gold

With an official rating of 83, HAYYNAH could be hard to beat if she runs anywhere near that mark. It's worth noting that she was pitched into a Listed event on her penultimate start and time may tell that she encountered an above-average rival when she was turned over by a promising debutant subsequently. This is a realistic resumption point and the daughter of Showcasing will enhance her paddock value if successful. Champonie and Noble Gentleman are interesting newcomers to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Hayynah 2nd Champonie 3rd Noble Gentleman

Arnhem is a contender after a recent near-miss over C&D, although the still-enthusiastic 10-year-old went up 3lb and the burden of top weight does him no favours. The vote goes to MISSION COMMAND, whose last win (on turf) came off 5lb higher. Still unexposed on the all-weather, the Jennie Candlish-trained gelding is capable of getting his head in front again now back over the suitable minimum trip. King's Crown and Monks Dream complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mission Command 2nd Arnhem 3rd Kings Crown

SINTRA boasts a high-class pedigree, with his grand dam being the outstanding Goldikova, and Andrew Balding's colt makes plenty of appeal as he attempts to make a winning start to his career. Pendella finished second on her first appearance at Southwell in December and she is likely to step forward from that display, while Sovereign Bay is another newcomer who commands plenty of respect.
Prediction : 1st Sintra 2nd Pendella 3rd Sovereign Bay

WRIST ART has turned a corner on his last couple of starts, with placed efforts at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, and the drop back to a mile appears to give James Owen's gelding a fine opportunity to gain a first success in the UK. Annalee Lass took a step back in the right direction when third here last month and a first-time visor may bring about improvement. That Lucas Fella and Sir Maxi complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wrist Art 2nd Annalee Lass 3rd That Lucas Fella

PALLAS LORD has been knocking on the door recently, which includes him finishing a neck second over C&D last Saturday. The eight-year-old has Rhys Elliott's 3lb claim to aid his cause and that could help to make the difference as he bids to get back to winning ways. Concert Boy has been running with plenty of credit after scoring here in December. He enters the reckoning along with Sea Legend and Sherlock.
Prediction : 1st Pallas Lord 2nd Concert Boy 3rd Sea Legend
