19:00 Newcastle Tips — Monday 20th April 2026

Tonight's 19:00 at Newcastle looks ripe for a confident punt, and we’re sticking firmly with Ed Walker’s Gouken as our top selection. This unexposed runner, piloted by George Downing, boasts an impressive and crucially, highly consistent, form profile that truly catches the eye.

Looking at his recent outings, Gouken has remarkably placed in all five of his last five runs – a fantastic trend that speaks volumes about his reliability and a characteristic we always look for in a winner. This kind of consistency is a testament to his honest approach and a strong indicator that he’s always there or thereabouts when the business end of the race arrives. While he's yet to break his maiden, he’s been knocking loudly on the door, often finding just one too good.

Today feels like the day for him to finally get his head in front. The good ground at Newcastle should pose no issues, and we anticipate another bold showing. With EVS on offer, Gouken presents a cracking opportunity to open our evening with a winner. For those seeking some each-way value, Nebulon looks the best of the rest and can certainly run into a place.
