UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Jedhi Knight returns to this shorter trip with a shout, having finished runner-up at Pontefract last month. Muhib reverts to the all-weather with place claims, but this won't take much winning and NIFFLER could prove good enough. The son of Isfahan failed to feature in three starts on the Tapeta earlier in the year, but he makes his handicap debut off a lowly mark as a consequence and Sir Mark Prescott's charge will relish the extra yardage.
Prediction : 1st Niffler 2nd Jedhi Knight 3rd Muhib

QUEEN'S HAME was an impressive winner at Nottingham and that looks the strongest form on offer. She led for most of the way, so this shorter distance shouldn't prove an inconvenience for the Haggas filly and she's taken to defy a penalty. Star Of Commala is also penalised having returned the shock winner at Wolverhampton on her seasonal debut. She can give the selection the most to think about, with Roccapina preferred of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Queens Hame 2nd Star Of Commala 3rd Roccapina

SPIRITED GESTURE scored nicely at Newmarket on debut, despite running green. The Kingman filly will be a lot wiser for that experience and the Fillies' Mile entrant will likely prove a warm order to go in again in this company. Angel In My Heart rates the chief threat on her victory at Pontefract, where she gave the strong impression this extra furlong would suit. Rubyroo is a newcomer to note for the future.
Prediction : 1st Spirited Gesture 2nd Angel In My Heart 3rd Rubyroo

Influencer Man scored on his nursery bow at Carlisle last week and is expected to have more to offer, despite carrying a 6lb penalty for that success. However, the vote goes to STAR PEOPLE. The drop to 5f for the first time appears to be the right move after his third at Nottingham and first-time blinkers are another likely source of improvement. Casino Star and This Moment complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Star People 2nd Influencer Man 3rd Casino Star

AZUINTHEJUNGLE continues to progress at a rapid rate of knots and arrives having landed a hat-trick at Thirsk earlier in the month. The four-year-old may prove tough to stop in his current mood and he can reverse Newcastle form with Little Mi Mi from the end of June. The latter has won since at Hamilton and looks to be the most obvious threat, while recent C&D scorer Too Much heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Azuinthejungle 2nd Little Mi Mi 3rd Too Much

GEMINI STAR was sent off favourite on her yard debut for the Birketts when runner-up at Thirsk in May and it would be no surprise if she went one better on this occasion. White Umbrella returned to winning ways at Ayr last week and has to be of interest under a 4lb penalty. Others for the shortlist include Asadjumeirah and Wait For It.
Prediction : 1st Gemini Star 2nd White Umbrella 3rd Asadjumeirah
