Newcastle free racing tip: In-form jockey and trainer team up with promising each-way prospect
Newcastle Racecourse
Newcastle’s all-weather track stages another bumper nine-race card on Tuesday evening, and this seven-furlong sprint could provide one of the most enthralling contests of the night.

If the bookies have calculated correctly, then this sprint should be dominated by last-time-out winners Mini Mac and Al Waseela, who are separated by barely a single betting point at the top of the market.
Jachin also showed improvement when winning over this distance at Catterick 10 days ago, but with all the other eight runners commanding a double-digit price, our eye has been drawn to the each-way value offered by Kevin Ryan’s thrice-raced maiden Sherlock.
This two-year-old has yet to produce a performance that has impressive build suggests, but this switch to handicap company might just be what he needs to just flick the switch to fulfil his potential.
He has been gelded since his last appearance six weeks ago, and now makes his handicap debut off a handy looking mark of 62, giving him a notable weight advantage over all but the bottom-weighted filly.
Trainer Ryan and jockey Shane Gray teamed up to land a tidy 10/1 winner with Irish Nectar at Doncaster on Friday, backing up their 11/1 shot True Promise at Southwell the day before.
Indeed, Gray has steered five of his last 17 rides into the winner’s circle, and so hopes will be high of building on that winning ratio with Sherlock at a similar appealing price.
