Horse Racing tips: A cracking 5/1 pick leads our plays at Newcastle today

16:00 One Night In Milan

It will be interesting to see if First Charge can build on his surprise Wolverhampton success with the greater test of stamina clearly suiting, while course regular Nataleena is likely to again make her presence felt.

However, the vote goes to ONE NIGHT IN MILAN, who hit the line strongly when only just beaten on his all-weather debut over course and distance on Friday and can go one better from the same mark.

16:35 Tommy R

Puckle would have to go close if seeing out the longer trip, with the return to this surface not an issue, but preference is for TOMMY R (NAP) who was returning from a break when fourth in a better race over course and distance a fortnight ago. Sophosc ran well last time, but there is a slight question over his stamina on this stiffer track and Star Dreamer may prove best of the others.

17:10 Purple Ribbon

All-weather debutant Celtic Art wouldn’t be without a chance if taking to the new surface, while Society Red is on his last winning mark, but this looks one for the three-year-olds. Gal Wonder only just lost out last time and would have to go close if handling the new surface, but preference is for PURPLE RIBBON who makes her handicap debut on only her third start. Her pedigree suggests she will enjoy the step up in trip.

17:40 Enfranchise

A trappy little novice and especially with the very well-related Sea Speedwell an unknown quantity, and for whom any market confidence would put a different complexion on the race entirely. As things stand, ENFRANCHISE is taken to follow up her likeable win at Pontefract with Lightening Company next best.

18:10 Plastic Paddy

Given his consistent record over course and distance Bringitonboris has to enter calculations, while Invincibly, Dreamseller and the unexposed Rich Dream are others to consider. However, despite the rise in grade and a 6lbs penalty PLASTIC PADDY is taken to maintain his 100% record over course and distance, with the step up to 1m having brought about such significant improvement

18:40 Spartan Fighter

There is every chance there is more to come from Next Victory now making her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces, while Blackheath is more than capable of making an impact at this level. The unexposed Another Dawn is another to consider especially if getting a good pace to aim at, but previous course and distance winner SPARTAN FIGHTER can prove the answer. He remains on a favourable mark and his last two efforts at this track have been commendable

19:10 Dabirstar

Despite her frustrating run of second-place finishes on turf Cover Name is still a player in this company. However, she is far from solid, so a chance is taken with DABIRSTAR who hasn’t been seen since pulling up at Southwell in April. Her narrow defeat by Nelson Gay there late last year is good form and she would have a strong chance if able to repeat it.
