UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

The face value of DREAM ILLUSION's victory in a fillies event at Southwell is compelling enough to suggest she can go very close in this company. A rise of just 2lb for that defeat of an 81-rated opponent suggests Michael Herrington's four-year-old has been given and big chance of extending her run of good form. The hat-trick seeking Law Supreme is an obvious threat, while Sea Legend and Tasever both go well here.
Prediction : 1st Dream Illusion 2nd Law Supreme 3rd Sea Legend

EAZY ON THE EYE seemed harshly treated when she was demoted from first to second at Wolverhampton last week. However, she could be considered as a winner without a penalty and looks worth another chance in what appears to be a weaker race. Jamaican Storm can make a fist of things if building on a couple of improved efforts over a mile, while Book Of Life, Concert Boy and Alpine Sierra are effective on Tapeta and are all capable of being on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Eazy On The Eye 2nd Jamaican Storm 3rd Concert Boy

Because LORD CAPULET is a three-time C&D winner, has a traditionally beneficial high draw and has previously won under Shane Gray is enough evidence to champion the consistent four-year-old as the one to be with. Anthropologist, who is weighted to reverse the Southwell form with Camera Shy, is suggested as the chief danger, although Phoenix Of Dreams only went up 2lb for his track-and-trip win and is dangerous to overlook.
Prediction : 1st Lord Capulet 2nd Anthropologist 3rd Phoenix Of Dreams

Yorkshire Glory has to be respected on the back of five consecutive victories in recent weeks, but marginal preference is for WATER OF LEITH. Jim Goldie's gelding had plenty in hand when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and he is 3lb well-in here, despite carrying a 4lb penalty. Pit Boss is also 3lb well-in as a result of his C&D success last week and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Water Of Leith 2nd Yorkshire Glory 3rd Pit Boss

Sherlock won over 5f here a month ago and has to be noted, but a 6lb rise demands much more from him now. As a result, the vote goes to TEARDROPS, who was narrowly denied over C&D three weeks ago and a 2lb rise for that effort should be workable. Others who make the shortlist include Tickets, Elvetham and Miss Rainbow.
Prediction : 1st Teardrops 2nd Sherlock 3rd Tickets

POWER FIZZ won a valuable event at Ascot on his penultimate start in May last year. He was not disgraced when fourth at Goodwood on his latest outing later that month and William Haggas' gelding merits the utmost respect on his return to action. Twilight Calls should not be underestimated following a spell in Dubai, while Rousing Encore and Wicket Keeper are others who make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Power Fizz 2nd Twilight Calls 3rd Rousing Encore

Plenty with claims, but SAYTARR looks worth sticking with given the ease of his latest success. He looked to have plenty left up his sleeve when pulling clear at Southwell and the hat-trick beckons for the son of Mehmas. Course regular Flying Fletcher is holding his form well and will likely have a say in proceedings, while Brewing travels over from Ireland on a tempting mark. Nyman and Maestro Bernstein are not out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Saytarr 2nd Flying Fletcher 3rd Brewing

It could pay to concentrate on those with recent form and BEST RATE looks worthy of another chance. Richard Hannon's charge was set a more difficult task last time, but was beaten only a length when fourth at Lingfield before that and can compete off a 2lb lower mark here. Eligible could bounce back having missed the break on his latest start, while Benacre won over C&D last month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Best Rate 2nd Eligible 3rd Benacre

Sports Coach reversed earlier running with Master Of My Fate when scoring with a bit in hand at Southwell. He can feature again on that evidence, while Station X will be sharper for last month's one-length defeat over 6f and could also make his presence felt. TIRIAC won a couple of times over C&D at the end of last year and, with the form of his latest success working out well, he could be the one.
Prediction : 1st Tiriac 2nd Sports Coach 3rd Station X
