20:30 Newcastle Tips — Monday 13th April 2026

Tonight's 20:30 Newcastle fixture promises a thrilling conclusion, and we've pinpointed a strong contender for victory. Our top selection is the Antony Brittain-trained Blue Force, partnered by the experienced Cam Hardie, currently available at EVS.

This gelding comes into the race off the back of some encouraging runs, most notably a recent third at Southwell, which suggests he's in excellent fettle (form: 91-658563). Crucially, Blue Force has landed the plum draw in stall 1. In a 10-runner field over this course and distance, a low draw is a powerful asset, often enabling horses to secure a prime position on the rail and conserve energy. With an Official Rating of 64, he looks well-treated, and the market confidence reflected in his EVS price is certainly justified. We expect him to utilise his perfect position to great effect and storm home.

Blue Force is our confident pick for the win. For those looking for value elsewhere, Hover On The Wind makes for a very interesting each-way proposition.
