Harry Wilson has notched three winners at Newcastle's Premier meeting - don't miss his remaining tips

Our tipster has had winners at odds of 11-2, 13-8 and 6-5 so far

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all eight races from Newcastle on Sunday. . .


2.50 Newcastle
Weekend Winners On At The Races Handicap (Div I), 1m2f

Harry's tip: Mr Mistoffelees

Mr Mistoffelees has been consistent without winning since joining Sam England, looking unlucky on more than one occasion when trying to come from the back, but he almost broke that winless spell when sitting far more prominently over a mile here last week. He shapes as though he's worth another go at this longer trip and can get his head in front if similar tactics are deployed.

3.25 Newcastle
Weekend Winners On At The Races Handicap (Div II), 1m2f

Harry's tip: Londoner

Londoner hasn't won since landing a mile maiden at Dundalk in October 2022 when trained by Aidan O'Brien, but he's dropped so far in the weights and looks interesting returning to the all-weather on his second start for Dan and Claire Kubler. He ended his time with O'Brien by finishing runner up in a 1m2½f handicap on Polytrack off a mark of 92 but he gets to run off just 78 here, having run over a variety of trips, including sprints, without winning for Jim Goldie. His best two RPRs for his former trainer came on the all-weather at Kempton and Newcastle though, and with last month's reappearance at Newbury behind him it would be no surprise to see him rejuvenated by a yard that does well with new recruits.

4.00 Newcastle
Michael John Hrycko Handicap, 1m2f

Harry's tip: Gunship

Gunship's pedigree suggested he would be suited by stepping up in trip, given he's by Sea The Stars out of a mare who has produced five winners with a peak RPR of at least 104, including two over this 1m2f trip, but he just found himself too far back on his handicap debut at Sandown last month. He's won at Newcastle, so the switch to the all-weather is no trouble, and a 1lb rise shouldn't stop him from making amends.

4.35 Newcastle
Celebrating The Life Of Lee Murphy Handicap, 1m4½f

Harry's tip: Sam Hawkens

Sam Hawkens has yet to build on the promise he showed in his novices/maidens for Richard Hannon since handicapping, but he started on quite a harsh mark and may now be able to take advantage having dropped 8lb in the weights. He was a beaten favourite on his reappearance at Ripon last month but he was entitled to need that first run in 211 days, and the switch to the all-weather for the first time could elicit some improvement, as his half-brother Minnetonka won and recorded his peak RPR on Tapeta. His mark of 81 should be workable, given he's never produced an RPR below 82, and Tom Marquand is in the saddle for the first time.

5.10 Newcastle
Legends Bar Fillies' Novice Stakes, 7f

Harry's tip: Orange Sky

This likely lies between to two penalised winners Orange Sky and Lorna B, who have both won at the course. Preference is for the former, who looked a nice prospect when winning over this distance in September when last seen. She was bought for 330,000gns as a yearling and is half-sister to the yard's three-time Grade 3 winner Missed The Cut, so there is likely more to come.

5.45 Newcastle
High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap, 7f

Harry's tip: Grand Karat

Grand Karat got his career back on track last year after being gelded, winning a pair of handicaps at Southwell, latterly beating a well-treated sort by two lengths and recording a Racing Post Rating of 96 in October. He should step forward from his reappearance at Kempton last month – a race that wasn't run to suit – and his mark of 88 looks workable.

6.15 Newcastle
Border Minstrel Handicap, 7f

Harry's tip: Knights Gold

Knights Gold looked better for dropping to 7f and being fitted with a hood at Wolverhampton in November, when he lost his chance with a slow start, and he's clearly progressed from two to three. He caught the eye making good headway from the back in a 7f handicap at Kempton in March and is now seeking a hat-trick after wins at Kempton and at Leicester last time. He's up another 5lb, but he picked up smartly to win last time and should be suited by this course.

6.45 Newcastle
Border Minstrel Family Fun Day Handicap, 6f

Harry's tip: Germanic

Germanic made a good start for Julie Camacho at Leicester last month, travelling well for a long way and only losing the lead late on in the competitive King Richard III handicap. He shaped as if he was in need of that first run since October, so is likely to come forward for the outing, and he's 1lb lower than when beaten just three-quarters of a length on his handicap debut in September. He is of even more interest returning to this track, as he bolted up by 11 lengths in a novice on his only visit to Newcastle in June last year, and could have a big pot in him this year.
