Thursday's Newcastle Horse Racing Betting Tips and Odds

13:11 - Lady Of The Garr @ 5/1
14:21 - Bellagio Man @ 8/1
14:56 - Pals Battalion @ 7/2

13:11 - Lady Of The Garr @ 5/1

Seven horses are set to leave the stalls in this Class 6 5f handicap for older horses and the youngest member of the septet is an in-form sprinter who makes considerable appeal.

LADY OF THE GARR found the winning thread at the 17th attempt when seeing off her 10 rivals in a Classified Stakes over this course and distance 12 days ago.

Tracy Waggott's representative is returning to handicap company from a 5lb higher rating of 53, but she achieved a personal best Racing Post Rating (RPR) of 60 with that 1.25 length success, and her Topspeed figure of 50 was also encouraging.

Paul Mulrennan takes over from Luke Morris in the saddle, but that is hardly a negative change with Mulrennan already 9-28 (32% +£10.65) with his mounts on this course this year.

The four-year-old is the right age to find further improvement and the daughter of Mehmas is a half-sister to five winners, including the useful sprinter Wasntexpectingthat, so 53 is unlikely to be the ceiling of her ability.

14:21 - Bellagio Man @ 8/1

Eleven horses are set to go down to post for the Class 6 6f handicap for older horses and Antony Brittain's representative BELLAGIO MAN makes significant appeal, with Alex Jary continuing in the saddle, and claiming 5lb from his mount.

A successful day at this venue on Tuesday means Brittain is 3-14 (21%) with his runners in the past fortnight and Jary is 4-26 (15% +£4.83) when riding for his yard on the AW, including when scoring on board the selection over this course and distance in December in a slightly stronger race from a 3lb lower mark.

The seven-year-old ran on well to finish a length second of 12 in a better-class course-and-distance handicap on New Year's Day, while he did well in the circumstances when reaching fifth at Southwell eight days ago following a poor start.

The return to this course and distance is going to suit and a mark of 64 remains enticing when you consider he had the back-class to finish a length fourth of eight to Diligent Harry in a Class 2 course-and-distance handicap in February 2023, achieving an RPR of 88.

14:56 - Pals Battalion @ 7/2

Finally, David O'Meara's representative PALS BATTALION has strong form claims in the feature Class 4 eight-runner 6f handicap for older horses (2.56), with David Nolan continuing a 2-6 association in the saddle.

O'Meara is 2-11 (18%) in the past fortnight and the selection arrives slightly ahead of the game from a mark of 82.

The four-year-old remains open to further improvement, but even a mere reproduction of his remarkably consistent form in his three starts over this course and distance since the beginning of December may suffice.

The Invincible Army gelding has recorded 112 form figures and achieved RPRs of 89, 90 and 90 in that period.
