There’s a bumper all-weather fixture at Newcastle on Friday 6th December, 2024 and BetMGM are sponsoring a whole number of races on the card. Our in-house tipster Steve Chambers has taken a look at the card and picked out his best bets.
3.48pm Newcastle – Win 1M With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Nursery
Ed Dunlop’s ADVERTORIAL has shown inexperience in her career so far, but she was staying on eye-catchingly well on her last start at Chelmsford, where she finished fifth. Dropped 1lb by the handicapper for that effort, she will take her chance off 48 in this competitive-looking nursery and looks the one to side with.

4.20pm Newcastle – BetMGM: It’s Showtime Irish EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)
Sent off favourite on debut at Newcastle last time out, THUNDER EARTHLIGHT is expected to build on that fourth placed finish and Karl Burke’s charge can storm to victory in the 4:20pm race. Having edged right at the start she began to get the message in the closing stages and she’s sure to benefit hugely from that experience. The newcomer Rogue Allegiance is a danger, but it’s the Burke filly that can land this prize.

4.50pm Newcastle – BetMGM: It’s Showtime Irish EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)
Craig Lidster’s THE CHILDE OF HALE took a massive step forward when third at Newcastle last time out having finished down the field on debut at York in June and the two-year-old can build on the pair of those efforts and land victory in this 4:50pm race. Held up in rear, he made steady progress in the closing stages of that event and if he can be ridden more prominently here then he has the chance of breaking his duck.

5.20pm Newcastle – Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap
Roger Varian’s DRAGON ICON won his first two career starts, but he’s failed to kick on from those efforts in recent outings. However, he’s been falling down the handicap and lines up in the 5:20pm contest over 1m 6y off a mark of 88. Unable to land a blow on the turf at Sandown last time out, the four-year-old will relish a return to the all-weather and he can bounce back to form after a break and bag success in this hugely tough betting heat.

6.20pm Newcastle – Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Handicap
A multiple winner, Grant Tuer’s GUNNERSIDE is now only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, so the seven-year-old looks more than capable of claiming the gold medal in the 6:20pm race. Placed in his last two efforts at Newcastle, he remains off the same mark of 52 for this event and if he can just improve on his last brace of runs at the north east track then he’s the one to back.
