UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Forest Caper could be thereabouts returning to this longer trip, but his less-exposed stablemate MAO SHANG WONG is preferred. David O'Meara's charge was having only his second start in a handicap when placed at Wolverhampton recently and he remains of interest off a workable mark with a first-time hood possibly bringing out further improvement. Prince Achille saves his best for this track and is no forlorn hope.
Prediction : 1st Mao Shang Wong 2nd Forest Caper 3rd Prince Achille

The rejuvenated SPARTAN FIGHTER has won four of his last five starts here. His latest success came in a higher grade sprint just four days ago and Antony Brittain's charge looks worth sticking with in his current mood. Rajstar opened his account over C&D on his first attempt over 6f and has plenty of scope for further progress, while Mayo County has been in better form of late and it would be no surprise if she went close.
Prediction : 1st Spartan Fighter 2nd Rajstar 3rd Mayo County

RUBY RED GOVE made a bold bid from the front when runner-up over 6f here on her latest start. Caught in the closing stages on that occasion, this drop to the minimum trip shouldn't be an issue and the daughter of Showcasing gets the vote. Wolverhampton runner-up Peregrine Falcon is preferred to Polka, who disappointed last time, while the newcomer Merlier is worth noting for any market support.
Prediction : 1st Ruby Red Gove 2nd Peregrine Falcon 3rd Merlier

FRANCESI has done little wrong both here and at Lingfield the last twice despite only managing second. This likeable grey has been unlucky and is going to get back in the winning groove sooner rather than later, so perhaps he's the one who can end Aisling Oscar's long winning streak. Adrian Keatley has worked wonders with this progressive five-year-old and another bold showing looks assured following a gutsy Southwell win which made it eight on the bounce. The unexposed Inspired adds further spice to the race on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Francesi 2nd Aisling Oscar 3rd Inspired

The penny dropped for ROGUE REBELLION at Lingfield last time when staying on strongly for a ready success over this distance. He's open to plenty more improvement and gets the nod ahead of Mythical Night, who performed well for second at Southwell last week. Of the others, it might be worth keeping a close eye on course second Mystical Land.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Rebellion 2nd Mythical Night 3rd Mystical Land

BRAZILIAN ROSE travelled smoothly into contention en route to defeating Mereside Diva (third) and recording a third win from her last four starts at Southwell. A further 4lb rise in the handicap might still underestimate Rebecca Menzies' in-form mare and she receives a confident vote. Lingfield winner Party Bear is the main danger, as Penny Mountain has a bit to find.
Prediction : 1st Brazilian Rose 2nd Party Bear 3rd Mereside Diva

The application of a first-time visor coupled with a switch to handicaps worked the oracle for SILVER STATE, who kicked clear of his rivals to record a cosy success at Wolverhampton. Jack Channon's gelding was raised 7lb for that but, like a few of these, he's open to plenty of improvement. Fickle Mcselfish was lacking a gear or two over 7f here latest and could find some progress over the extra furlong, while Popty Ping appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Silver State 2nd Fickle Mcselfish 3rd Popty Ping
