1	1 1st (1) (Evens +20%) Findthetime		0 Evens(+20%)																															(1) Findthetime Evens, Completed a hat-trick as a novice hurdler and at least matched that form to get off the mark over fences at Wetherby (15.2f, heavy) in November. Far from disgraced despite being badly hampered when fourth at Doncaster (19f) since and he's well in the mix again. Won at Wetherby in November & unlucky 4th at Doncaster next time; could play leading role.
2	4 2nd (4) (80/1 +20%) Halfway House Lad		80 80/1(+20%)																															(4) Halfway House Lad 80/1, Well held all completed starts over hurdles and left behind on chase debut from well out of the weights. Stiff task once more. Soundly beaten on chase debut and he's a whopping 35lb wrong at the weights today.
2	2 |U| (2) (11/8 +0%) Gardener		1.375 11/8(+0%)																															(2) Gardener 11/8, Low-mileage 8-y-o who improved on his fair hurdles form as he made a successful debut over fences on first run since leaving Alex Hales in 4-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago, doing it easily. Claims from 10 lb higher mark with improvement likely. Easy win on chase debut; strength of form is questionable but was hard not to be impressed.
3	3 |PU| (3) (6/1 -50%) Champ De Gane		6 6/1(-50%)																															(3) Champ De Gane 6/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser who is usually thereabouts, runner-up last 3 starts. Sold from Stuart Crawford £33,000 in September and he should give another good account. 0-17 but runner-up on five of his nine chase starts; might not be far away on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

12:30 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

GARDENER was a 30-length winner on his debut for Olly Murphy at Southwell a few weeks ago and is hard to oppose here even after a 10lb rise in the ratings. Findthetime scored at Wetherby two starts ago and is likely to go well once again, although he will have to improve on his most recent effort to beat the selection. Champ De Gane is a consistent performer who is the clear pick of the remainder.

A good winner at Wetherby on his penultimate start, FINDTHETIME shaped better than the distance beaten suggests having been badly hampered when fourth over further at Doncaster 21 days ago. He could be worth siding with to come out on top dropped back in trip. Gardener, an impressive winner on yard/chase debut at Southwell recently, should give him plenty to think about, however.

Gardener impressed on his chase debut at Southwell but preference is for FINDTHETIME, who had an excuse at Doncaster last time out.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +75%) Curley Finger		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(3) Curley Finger 7/2, Dual winner last season who was ridden too aggressively when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly with the prospect of an easy lead. Soundly beaten back over hurdles at Musselburgh last time and has to get back on track.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Teescomponentstrig		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Teescomponentstrig 9/2, C&D winner who proved he retains all his ability when neck second of 6 to Juge Et Parti in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago. 1 lb better off with that rival here. C&D winner; close second over 2m4f last month and can build on that now back up in trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -5%) Artic Mann		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(7) Artic Mann 7/2, Returned from a long absence with a creditable second at Kelso (20.9f) in October and backed that up when third at same course (25.8f, soft, 9/2) the following month, despite being left poorly placed. Expected to go well again. Two promising runs following long layoff; could have more to offer over staying trips.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +24%) Guernesey		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(2) Guernesey 13/2, Showed he retains plenty of ability on his first outing for this yard after 7 months off when second at Kelso (25.8f) in November. Unsuited by drop in trip at Ayr (20.4f) subsequently, so worth another chance. Second over 3m2f on stable debut, then 5th over 2m4f; step back up in trip could be ideal.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -45%) The Vollan		16 16/1(-45%)																															(6) The Vollan 16/1, Veteran who has run creditably on 3 of his last 4 starts over fences but others still appeal more for win purposes now back over hurdles. Some fair chase form in the autumn; might not be far away now back over hurdles.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 -75%) Juge Et Parti		7 7/1(-75%)																															(5) Juge Et Parti 7/1, Took advantage of his much-reduced mark when landing 6-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago, by neck from Teescomponentstrig, driven out. Back up in trip. Narrow win over 2m4f at Hexham last time; should be fine now back up in trip; respected.
7th	1 7th (1) (3/1 +25%) Space Voyage		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Space Voyage 3/1, Took very well to hurdling last term, winning 3 small-field novice events. Failed to take to chasing on reappearance but quickly back on track when third in Wincanton handicap hurdle (had breathing op prior) next time. Outclassed in listed event at Kempton since but this is less demanding. Better could have been expected at 3m latest but she could still go well now back in h'cap.

13:05 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Juge Et Parti (first) and Teescomponentstrig (second) are closely matched based on their meeting at Hexham last month and both merit plenty of respect as a result. That said, marginal preference is for GUERNESEY, who may have found an extended 2m4f too sharp last time and is better judged on his narrow second over 3m2f at Kelso the time before.

ARTIC MANN has returned from a long absence just about as good as ever and can be afforded a bit extra credit on her most recent outing having fared best of those held up, so she's the percentage call in a tightly-knit handicap. Curley Finger could get an easy time of things out in front and is second choice, ahead of Teescomponentstrig.

The step back up in trip should be ideal for GUERNESEY (nap), who stayed on well for fifth over 2m4f at Ayr last time.

1	2 1st (2) (16/1 +52%) Blazing Soldier		16 16/1(+52%)																															(2) Blazing Soldier 16/1, £3,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Evander. Dam unraced. Placed once from 3 starts in Irish points, last of 7 finishers last time (May 14). Fair third in middle of his three Irish maiden point starts but may be best watched.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/5 -9%) Two Auld Pals		1.2 6/5(-9%)																															(7) Two Auld Pals 6/5, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Jim Goldie (stays 2¼m), won 3 times in 2023. Showed an aptitude for hurdling when second at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) and can be expected to improve. Three-time Flat winner who was second on hurdle debut at Bangor and holds leading claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -60%) Forged Well		4 4/1(-60%)																															(1) Forged Well 4/1, Jet Away gelding who was third on his completed start in Irish points and went 2 places better on last month's Carlisle hurdle debut (19.3f), doing it readily under hands-and-heels ride. Entitled to progress. Won on hurdle debut at Carlisle; carries penalty over shorter today, but likeable prospect.
4	6 4th (6) (125/1 -525%) Poetry Man		125 125/1(-525%)																															(6) Poetry Man 125/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points but has made little impact in a brace of maiden hurdles 5 months apart. Runner-up in a point but well beaten on both hurdle starts; lots of improvement is needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 +34%) Lord Denning		33 33/1(+34%)																															(4) Lord Denning 33/1, Boasts a decent jumps pedigree but has only hinted at ability in novice hurdles at Carlisle and Ayr. Soundly beaten at Ayr but that race is working out very well; each-way possible.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +28%) We Got Your Back		18 18/1(+28%)																															(8) We Got Your Back 18/1, Didn't achieve much when a well-held fourth in a Perth bumper in August and finished down the field on October's hurdle debut for new trainer Laura Morgan. His subsequent breathing operation needs to have made a big difference. Tailed off on hurdle debut but wind op since and showed promise in bumper; watch betting.
7th	11 7th (11) (200/1 -203%) Missy Ava		200 200/1(-203%)																															(11) Missy Ava 200/1, Finished tailed off in a Wetherby novice hurdle on debut 11 days ago. Tailed off at 25-1 in seven-runner novice hurdle on debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day.
8th	15 8th (15) (20/1 +20%) Cantalupo Bella		20 20/1(+20%)																															(15) Cantalupo Bella 20/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who came in a remote third of 8 in a Sedgefield juvenile hurdle (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 51 days ago. Plenty more is required. Flat maiden who was well-beaten third on hurdle debut at Sedgefield and others appeal more.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/2 +65%) Konfusion		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(3) Konfusion 7/2, Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when third in a 5-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f) in July 2022. Not seen since. Promise in summer 2022; absent since but not discounted on comeback.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -25%) Whosmydaddy		25 25/1(-25%)																															(9) Whosmydaddy 25/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle 8 months apart. Has left John McConnell. Tailed off on two rules runs but may tap back into point promise at some stage; yard debut.
11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 -142%) Princess Of Mercia		80 80/1(-142%)																															(12) Princess Of Mercia 80/1, Hinted at ability fitted with a tongue strap when a well-held third of 5 in a novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) on debut 24 days ago. Well beaten on last month's debut at Hexham; bred to come into her own over further.
12th	10 12th (10) (10/1 +29%) Anamanda		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Anamanda 10/1, Fairly useful 3-time winner on the Flat in France for Nicolas Clement but was let down by her jumping when pulled up on Kelso hurdle debut in late November. Pulled up on hurdle debut at Kelso but useful on the Flat in France and not written off.
13th	13 13th (13) (40/1 +39%) Vive De Charnie		40 40/1(+39%)																															(13) Vive De Charnie 40/1, Ran to a fair level in a brace of bumpers for Jamie Snowden but well held both starts over hurdles (hooded latest). Displayed ability in bumpers but struggled in late 2023 on first two hurdle starts.
14	14 |PU| (14) (50/1 -213%) Mad Mode		50 50/1(-213%)																															(14) Mad Mode 50/1, 5/1, last of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 43 days ago. Sent off at just 5-1 on debut at Catterick but finished tailed off.

13:40 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

FORGED WELL was hampered by the errant jumping of one of his rivals three times during his hurdles debut at Carlisle last month and having shown professionalism to emerge as a comfortable winner, he is a likely type to cope with a penalty. Two Auld Pals made an encouraging first start in this discipline at Bangor and rates the biggest threat, ahead of the returning Konfusion.

TWO AULD PALS hit the target 3 times on the Flat in 2023 and found only a previous winner too strong on his recent Bangor hurdle debut, so he's taken to make the most of the 7 lb he receives from the penalised Forged Well, who won readily at Carlisle despite jumping markedly right. Konfusion could be the one to fill the places.

Three-time Flat winner TWO AULD PALS made an encouraging start to his hurdling career when second at Bangor and can go one better.

1	1 1st (1) (2/7 +19%) Handstands		0.285714 2/7(+19%)																															(1) Handstands 2/7, Won sole start in Irish points and made an impressive hurdling debut when landing a novice at Hereford 3 weeks ago. Should follow up. Point and novice hurdle winner; carries penalty but has by far the best form.
2	10 2nd (10) (8/1 +43%) Taras Halls		8 8/1(+43%)																															(10) Taras Halls 8/1, Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham who was backed as though expected to go close when falling third in a novice at Wetherby on hurdling debut. Poor effort at Market Rasen since, though. Bumper winner but first two hurdle starts have yielded an early fall then a heavy defeat.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 +39%) Mayheblucky		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Mayheblucky 20/1, Made the frame on all 3 starts in Irish points but the latest of them was in December 2021 so he's presumably had a few issues. Betting the best guide to expectations now hurdling. Made the frame in 3 Irish maiden points in 2021; each-way player if retaining that ability.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 +21%) Boolamore Classic		11 11/1(+21%)																															(2) Boolamore Classic 11/1, Half-brother to useful staying hurdle winner Big Shark,. Runner-up on completed start in Irish points (Oct 1). Respected on Rules debut. Point runner-up; makes rules debut in a race lacking depth and he's an each-way contender.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -52%) Kinder Kid		100 100/1(-52%)																															(6) Kinder Kid 100/1, Third in a point but didn't offer much in a novice hurdle at this course on Rules debut. Hard to make a case for. Well beaten here on rules debut but was third in a point and he's an each-way possible.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -150%) Rock Steady Eddie		25 25/1(-150%)																															(9) Rock Steady Eddie 25/1, Placed in a couple of points and third in a bumper at Hexham 84 days ago. Longer trip should suit, so he's not completely dismissed. Placed in points and on bumper debut; an each-way case can be made on first hurdle start.
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 +0%) Bowler Jack		80 80/1(+0%)																															(3) Bowler Jack 80/1, Yet to offer any encouragement and looks set for another struggle. Pedigree suggests this step up in trip will suit but dramatic improvement is required.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -200%) Hubbel Bubbel		33 33/1(-200%)																															(5) Hubbel Bubbel 33/1, Showed a bit on first of 2 starts in bumpers but shaped with a little more encouragement both hurdling outings. This demands a chunk of improvement, though. No threat on his four runs but has shown some ability and he's a contender for the places.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 -150%) Great Warford		200 200/1(-150%)																															(4) Great Warford 200/1, Little show both runs over hurdles, pulled up in novice at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Others appeal more. Hasn't shown enough across his three starts to suggest he'll be making an impact today.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 -14%) Raffles Wonder		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Raffles Wonder 16/1, Bumper winner who has been well held both starts over hurdles and looks more of a handicap type. Well beaten on both hurdle starts but won a bumper; could nab a place if settling better.

14:15 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

HANDSTANDS, who breezed through his only start in a point-to-point, showed stacks of promise to win by six and a half lengths on his hurdles debut at Hereford three weeks ago and is hard to oppose. The selection obviously shoulders a 7lb penalty, which creates hope for the likes of Hubbel Bubbel and Rock Steady Eddie, who can at least make a race of it.

HANDSTANDS is unbeaten in a point and a novice hurdle at Hereford and he should be capable of defying a penalty. Boolamore Classic and Mayheblucky have both shown ability between the flags, so they're the most feasible dangers.

This is an excellent opportunity for HANDSTANDS to maintain his unbeaten record. Maybe Boolamore Classic will be best of the rest.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +75%) Carrigeen Castle		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(3) Carrigeen Castle 7/2, Just poor form over hurdles in Ireland and hasn't fired yet for new yard, acknowledging he showed some aptitude when third in a handicap at Hexham 24 days ago. Ran better than bare result suggests on chase debut at Hexham; no surprise to see good run.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +47%) En Meme Temps		4 4/1(+47%)																															(2) En Meme Temps 4/1, Belatedly hit the target over fences when landing a heavy-ground 2½m Hexham handicap in March. Reappearance second over the same C&D was a solid effort and not disgraced here last time. Stretched by the extended 2m7f here last time; could have a big say now back down in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +29%) Torosay		10 10/1(+29%)																															(4) Torosay 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who progressed with each start over hurdles last term but hasn't taken to chasing as yet. Pulled up on last month's chase debut at Hexham but still early days and not written off.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +33%) Goodoldbill		3 3/1(+33%)																															(8) Goodoldbill 3/1, Sprang a surprise, on second start over fences, when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (good to soft) 44 days ago by neck from Imperial Alex, always holding on. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations. 33-1 win here in November and major player if backing up that performance.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +50%) Great Raffles		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(7) Great Raffles 11/2, Dual winner over hurdles who acquitted himself well in defeat in all 4 starts last term. Lacklustre start to chasing at this course last time but might benefit from the experience. Tailed off here on chase debut but may have needed the run; on a fair mark on hurdle form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (4/1 +47%) Attention All		4 4/1(+47%)																															(1) Attention All 4/1, Debut hurdles winner at this course but has failed to reproduce it. Quiet start to life over fences at Carlisle 20 days ago but might do better upped in trip. Has failed to progress but going left-handed may be a help on this second chase start.
9	9 |PU| (9) (50/1 -25%) Glenavaddra		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Glenavaddra 50/1, Point winner but has shown nothing so far under Rules, including on chasing debut at Hexham 24 days ago. His handicap/chase debut wasn't devoid of promise but others are more compelling.

14:50 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This can go the way of GOODOLDBILL, who was a determined winner over further here in November and should not be inconvenienced by the drop in distance on this occasion. A 3lb rise looks manageable and he can see off the likes of En Meme Temps and Empty Nest, who improved from first to second start over fences to finish a close-up third at Catterick last month.

EMPTY NEST made the odd mistake before rattling home in eye-catching fashion at Catterick last time, so he's worth a chance to put it all together now. Coolkill and Goodoldbill look the main threats.

Having not looked short of pace when winning over 2m7f here in November, the unexposed 8yo GOODOLDBILL is taken to follow up.

2	10 2nd (10) (13/2 +35%) Glory Hights		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(10) Glory Hights 13/2, Little impact in a bumper/trio of novice hurdles. Goes into handicaps with lots more required. Tailed off at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles last year; handicap debut today.

4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -83%) Not Staying Long		33 33/1(-83%)																															(2) Not Staying Long 33/1, Won 3-runner novice hurdle at Catterick (25.3f) in February on final run for Patrick Neville. Off 10 months before pulled up in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Something to prove for new yard. Won three-runner novice last season but struggled on stable/handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +13%) Tommy Johnson		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Tommy Johnson 7/2, Bred to stay well and has shown some promise in this sphere, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Can do better now handicapping. In the mix. Runner-up on debut; two lesser efforts have followed but he remains open to improvement.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +45%) Donso Star		11 11/1(+45%)																															(6) Donso Star 11/1, Maiden hurdler who came in ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. Safely held in first two handicaps; upped in trip today; improvement required.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Wild Polly		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Wild Polly 12/1, Well held when brought down 4 out in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f) 8 months ago. Returns over hurdles with others preferred. Given a chance by the handicapper but not an easy mare to weigh up at present.
8th	8 8th (8) (4/1 +0%) Robert D'Ores		4 4/1(+0%)																															(8) Robert D'Ores 4/1, Offered little in a handful of runs over hurdles but made much more of an impact in two runs over fences, clear when unseated rider 2 out in 3m Hexham handicap chase in May. Should have more to offer back in this sphere if fully tuned up for his return. Made promising start to chasing career last May; back hurdling after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -14%) Mister Smarty		25 25/1(-14%)																															(9) Mister Smarty 25/1, Poor form shown in 2 bumpers and a trio of novice hurdles. Needs to take a big step forward now going into handicaps. Showed promise in one qualifying run but makes only limited appeal in first handicap.

15:25 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ROBERT D'ORES looked to hold every chance of breaking the maiden when unseating his rider two out over fences at Hexham last May, and he may be able to gain compensation on his return/switch to hurdles. The unexposed seven-year-old should have too much for handicap debutant Yealand, as well as Tommy Johnson, who is a player if bouncing back to the form of his debut second at Carlisle.

YEALAND looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow so Jennie Candlish's lightly-raced 5-y-o gets the vote in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Tommy Johnson also goes into handicaps with more to offer so rates the main threat, while Robert d'Ores can't be discounted if on song for his seasonal return.

The most appealing option is YEALAND, who looked quite promising in his qualifying races. Tommy Johnson is second choice.
