TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)

Alan Morris focuses his attention on Thursday’s card from Newcastle where he picks out his best bets of the day.

15:20 NEWCASTLE

Antony Brittain does well with his cheap cast-offs from other yards and sales and picked up Without Compromise for 22,000 gunsafter the initial 1.3m guns purchase failed to reach the racecourse for Charlie Appleby. The 4yo full brother to Without Parole and half-brother to Tamarkuz amongst others only started racing in December 2024 but has two strong course and distance performances with a first and second and looks to be on the up and beyond this grade. Molinari and Cusack do not look to have enough to reverse form with the strong-travelling Without Compromise and more of a threat may come from Stipulation.

WITHOUT COMPROMISE (WIN)

17:30 NEWCASTLE

David Thompson and Oisin Orr have two good each-way chances within half an hour of each other with Coramento here and Uncle Sam (18.00). Former C and D Winner Coramento won well enough, going away under Orr over 7f here 20 days ago and is only up 3lb here to 54. More exposed but reliable rivals exist in Concert Boy and Without Delay and Imola will be popular to give Joey Ramsden a first UK winner but they can prop the market up for the unexposed Coramento.
