UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

FARABOVE THE LIMIT arrives in the middle of a real purple patch and makes plenty of appeal chasing a three-timer. He improved for the step up in trip when scoring over 1m3f at Carlisle and the extra yardage here last time was no issue as he kept on well to score by a neck over C&D. As a three-year-old, there could be more improvement in him and he gets a confident vote ahead of Jujubella and Mr Moonshine.
Prediction : 1st Farabove The Limit 2nd Jujubella 3rd Mr Moonshine

Yafaarr has been in good form on the turf at Redcar of late and will likely prove popular given he won comfortably when going back up to this trip there last time. On his return to all-weather duty, though, he could be a touch vulnerable and PATROL may have his measure judged on a determined Southwell success two starts ago. Keep Variety Act and Guesstimate in mind as well.
Prediction : 1st Patrol 2nd Yafaarr 3rd Variety Act

Brian Ellison boasts a strong hand in this novice stakes with a pair of runners and Sunday River improved markedly from her first to her second start when going close at Southwell. She is respected, but her more experienced stable companion QILA might be worth one more chance now connections reach for first-time cheekpieces. Celtic Arrow and Ennoble cannot be overlooked either.
Prediction : 1st Qila 2nd Sunday River 3rd Celtic Arrow

Having finished third in a similar contest on his most recent outing at Musselburgh, Kaleido is one of the more likely winners given the question marks surrounding his rivals. However, FIRST AMBITION would take all the beating if reproducing his third-placed effort at Wolverhampton and can be forgiven his subsequent heavy defeat in the Cambridgeshire. Candonomore may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st First Ambition 2nd Kaleido 3rd Candonomore

Penalised winners Media Legend and Intrusively have more on their plate and are worth taking on, for all that the latter could emerge as the main danger. Coolree is only 2lb higher than for his triumph at Beverley but he has yet to score in 16 attempts on the all-weather, which dampens enthusiasm. With all that in mind, it could be worth persevering with THUNDER WONDER, who was in decent heart prior to disappointing at Redcar and lurks on a dangerous mark.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Wonder 2nd Intrusively 3rd Coolree

LEADING TIMES made a winning stable bow for Tim Easterby at Southwell and an official rating of 80 looks workable on his first start in handicap company. The four-year-old is still open to improvement on just his fourth career outing and is marginally more appealing than Kinetic Force. Ruth Carr's inmate arrives on the back of a good third at Redcar and a similar performance is likely to see him in the shake-up. The down-in-class Temple Of Athena is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Leading Times 2nd Kinetic Force 3rd Temple Of Athena

COULSTY EXCHANGE took the eye making late ground for sixth here a fortnight ago. Given that was her handicap/stable debut and first start since February, Iain Jardine's new charge looks potentially well handicapped as she steps back up trip. Fourth over C&D recently, Dream Forever makes more appeal than the veteran Trais Fluors, while Hey Havana is worth a second glance back down in distance.
Prediction : 1st Coulsty Exchange 2nd Dream Forever 3rd Hey Havana

The winner of a classified race at Catterick in August, LANARRA has placed in a couple of handicaps since. The daughter of Far Above finished a creditable second over C&D a fortnight ago and a repeat effort could see her back to winning ways in this company. Territorial Star has a bit to find with the selection on latest running but could make the frame, while Clasina has returned to a nice mark if back on song.
Prediction : 1st Lanarra 2nd Territorial Star 3rd Clasina

KEEP THE GOLD has yet to record that elusive first win, but Michael Dods' charge went close to doing so when runner-up over C&D last time. Racing off an unchanged mark, he's taken to go one better. Second at Southwell recently, Crypto Quest could have a say in proceedings, while Pockley was the subject of strong support when winning last year's renewal and is preferred to stablemate Shatin Venture.
Prediction : 1st Keep The Gold 2nd Crypto Quest 3rd Pockley
