UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

HATYSA arrives here having won three of her last four starts and a 2lb rise for the latest of those victories may not be enough to stop Andrew Balding's filly from adding another success to her record. Educator has made the frame on his last couple of outings and is likely to be in the mix once again. Alrazeen and Sax Appeal are others with strong claims.
Prediction : 1st Hatysa 2nd Educator 3rd Alrazeen

Al Najashi merits the utmost respect having won all three handicap starts impressively. He struck at Wolverhampton last week by 13 lengths, but is now on a 16lb higher mark. As a result, marginal preference is for MAYNORA, who was only beaten a nose over C&D last month and a 1lb rise is not a concern. Ocean Of Storms and Norcross Brow complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Maynora 2nd Al Najashi 3rd Ocean Of Storms

FACTUAL confirmed the promise of his debut success when a close second at Lingfield a month ago and Andrew Balding's Sioux Nation colt sets a good standard. Majestic Dane won well on his racecourse bow over C&D a few weeks ago and is clearly the main threat. Any market support for either Shimmering Spirit or Zain Primus would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Factual 2nd Majestic Dane 3rd Zain Primus

The race wasn't run to suit Rosemary's Rose at Lingfield last week, but she still managed to get up in the closing stages. More is needed under her penalty now back in handicap company, though, and SHOWMEDEMONEY is preferred. The Iain Jardine-trained seven-year-old maintained his good level of form when touched off over 1m2f here and competes from the same rating. I Can Boogy also filled the runner-up berth on the same card last weekend, while Dequinto beat Esque Elegance over C&D and can confirm that superiority.
Prediction : 1st Showmedemoney 2nd Rosemarys Rose 3rd Dequinto

LORD CAPULET completed a C&D brace late last month when accounting for Pit Boss by a little over a length. A 1lb turnaround in the weights is unlikely to result in that form being reversed, even though the runner-up has won and just gone under over 6f since. Bullington Bry is interesting on his first appearance for the Joey Ramsden team, while Pallas Lord has been holding his form well and was a couple of positions ahead of Wyvern when touched off over the mile here on his penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Lord Capulet 2nd Pit Boss 3rd Bullington Bry

The Gay Blade ended a bit of a drought over C&D and although he will find life tougher under his penalty, he commands attention. EAST TYRONE has been holding his own in handicap company and his only previous dip into classified waters resulted in a Wolverhampton victory just last month. He is fancied to repeat the dose. Pebble Dash also drops out of a handicap, while Auntie Jo could close the gap on The Gay Blade from last week now cheekpieces are applied.
Prediction : 1st East Tyrone 2nd The Gay Blade 3rd Auntie Jo

BENEFICIARY has improved for the switch to classified events with a brace of runner-up efforts, including over C&D last week, and the seven-year-old boasts strong credentials in his bid to gain a first success in just over a year. Classy Clarets has continued to drop in the handicap and may prove to be a lot happier at this level, while first-time blinkers could make a difference for Sedgemoor.
Prediction : 1st Beneficiary 2nd Classy Clarets 3rd Sedgemoor

WINGSTAR is one of the least experienced in the line-up, but that might prove to be in her favour. The four-year-old finished fourth on her handicap debut over C&D earlier in the month and it wouldn't be a surprise if she had more to give. Laura's Breeze offered more encouragement when returning to this level here last week and she is respected along with A Lady Forever.
Prediction : 1st Wingstar 2nd Lauras Breeze 3rd A Lady Forever

Digital arrives in fine fettle, having won three of his last six starts, and has to enter calculations under a 4lb penalty for his C&D triumph on Sunday. That said, DARK KESTREL makes plenty of appeal after his victory here earlier in the month and a 2lb rise might underestimate the authority of that success. Binadham and True Promise appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dark Kestrel 2nd Digital 3rd Binadham
