The Evening Punt: Tom Collins' free horse racing tip on Thursday

EYECATCHER

(7.00 Newcastle)

Dark Heart will win the opening novice contest but his price has completely gone now (6-4 overnight, 2-5 at the time of writing), so the tip of the evening is Mango Chutney in division one of the mile handicap. The John Davies-trained seven-year-old is off a nice mark of 60 and has gone close on his last two outings here when making significant late inroads on both occasions. He needs a decent pace to aim at, which isn't necessarily guaranteed here, but he's too well-treated to ignore in what looks a modest affair.
