UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Koko Blue hasn't finished outside the top three in any of her four starts for the Tom Clover stable and should remain competitive, but the vote goes to KAMEEL. Jessica Macey's inmate failed to fire when fifth at Leicester latest, but both of his career victories have come at this venue and he has dropped to an attractive mark. Love You More is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Kameel 2nd Koko Blue 3rd Love You More

Gilleangirl stayed on into fourth over a mile at Southwell and this step up in trip promises to bring about improvement. She is one to watch but DALAMARA regained the winning thread at Musselburgh last week and looks well placed to record a second course success, despite her 6lb penalty. Gifts Differing makes only her second appearance for Ross Burdon and the booking of Jason Hart is interesting.
Prediction : 1st Dalamara 2nd Gilleangirl 3rd Gifts Differing

YORDAN took a step forward from his debut second at Leicester to readily score at Southwell. With any amount of improvement to come and Harry Vigors negating most of the penalty with his claim, Kevin Ryan's charge looks the way to go. Brash has lots of experience to go to war with and is likely to be on the premises, while Alpha Platoon may also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Yordan 2nd Brash 3rd Alpha Platoon

Two of UP THE AGENDA's three all-weather victories have come at this venue and he looked ready for a return to further when keeping on into fourth over 6f at Wolverhampton. Jack Morland's charge is now 1lb lower than when scoring at Kempton in January and utilises Conor Whiteley's 5lb claim for the first time. The unexposed Highland Shah appears to be capable of better, while Havana Prince and Lessay are just two more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Up The Agenda 2nd Highland Shah 3rd Havana Prince

None of these can inspire confidence based on what they've shown so far and only marginal preference is for RIVER JORDAN. Phillip Makin's gelding failed to trouble the judge on each of his three qualifying runs, but he moves into nurseries from a moderate figure as a result and the booking of Jason Hart is potentially noteworthy. Profitability would have a big chance if able to build on her recent Hamilton third, while Claret Time warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st River Jordan 2nd Profitability 3rd Claret Time

Quite a few of these have something to prove so it looks best to side with STARLINER. Linda Perratt's gelding has occupied the runner-up spot on three of his last four appearances and this might be the opening he's been looking for. Mr Mistoffelees had been knocking at the door prior to a below-par Redcar effort so can't be ruled out and neither can the lightly-raced Bee Farmer, who now tries a first-time tongue-tie/blinkers combination.
Prediction : 1st Starliner 2nd Mr Mistoffelees 3rd Bee Farmer

Having recorded a double in classified company, Let's Go Hugo cannot be dismissed in his current vein of form. However, the six-year-old does have more on his plate reverting to handicaps and fellow penalised winner LADY BOUQUET makes more appeal. Switching to the all-weather shouldn't pose any issues for Philip Kirby's Musselburgh scorer. Ellie's De Vega is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Lady Bouquet 2nd Lets Go Hugo 3rd Ellies De Vega

HEAR THE DRUMS was well found in the market when regaining the winning thread at Southwell. That was only the three-year-old's second appearance on the all-weather and he may find enough improvement to defy a 4lb rise from the assessor. Elettaria arrives on the back of a close-up second at Beverley and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of last week's Wolverhampton third Book Of Life.
Prediction : 1st Hear The Drums 2nd Elettaria 3rd Book Of Life

Here Comes Louie may have found his latest assignment at Redcar coming too soon as he filled the runner-up spot at Southwell just two days earlier. Roger Fell's charge should be in the thick of the action if running to his best, although preference is for reopposing second ITSZABOY. The Ubettabelieveit gelding posted his best effort to date that day and a 1lb ease in the ratings may prove lenient. C&D winner Defence Missile could have a say in proceedings too.
Prediction : 1st Itszaboy 2nd Here Comes Louie 3rd Defence Missile
