Newcastle stages a seven-race card on Monday with Newsboy's Nap, Eagle's Realm, running in the opener at 3.50

EAGLE’S REALM is fancied to rack up a four-timer by carrying top weight to victory in the opening BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Handicap (3.50) at Newcastle today.

Trained in tandem by David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, the son of Free Eagle enjoyed a first all-weather Flat win at the 14th attempt when beating Doublethetrouble by three-quarters of a length over a mile and three-quarters at Wolverhampton in October.

With that landmark success under his belt, Eagle’s Realm, a two-time scorer over hurdles, doubled up in an apprentice handicap over this course and distance the following month, holding Show No Fear by a length and a quarter.

And the hat-trick was completed back over a mile and six at Southwell nine days later, when the six-year-old took advantage of racing from an unchanged handicap mark to account for Kiss My Face by half a length.

A 2lb higher rating of 63 looks well within reach for Jack Mitchell’s mount, who gets a confident vote to extend his winning streak.

Later on the card at Newcastle, WEE FAT MAC has plenty going for him as he bids to get his head in front for the sixth time on the Tapeta surface, and for the seventh time overall, in the BetUK. It's Where The UK Bets Handicap (5.30).
