12:30 Newcastle (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/1 -186%) Blue Lakota	10 10/1(-186%)	(4) Blue Lakota 10/1, Scored by a head off a 5lb lower mark here three runs ago; ran to form last time and is 1lb higher now; effective at 5f to 6f and best on all-weather; fairly treated but inconsistent lately. Isn't proving the easiest to predict but only went down by a length here last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +50%) True Promise	4 4/1(+50%)	(2) True Promise 4/1, Below form when beaten 6l after making the running in a Southwell handicap last time; had been in good form before; effective at 5f to 6f and suited by a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Not as good as he was but twice placed here over 5f before going off too fast at Southwell.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/2 +17%) Cargin Bhui	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(8) Cargin Bhui 5/2, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 6/7f, acts on GS, G and AW; can go close off same mark as latest. Beaten in Class 6 last twice but wasn't far away and neither race went ideally to plan.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +0%) Kirkdale	6 6/1(+0%)	(6) Kirkdale 6/1, Ran to form despite a slow start when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective at 6f to 7f and acts on all-weather; respected. Twice runner-up over C&D before another good run here in December.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -13%) Jkr Cobbler	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Jkr Cobbler 18/1, Again below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; recent form has declined. Tends to win at either Ayr or here but not been firing of late and ideally wants further.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 +0%) Abduction	16 16/1(+0%)	(1) Abduction 16/1, Below form after an awkward start when down the field in a Doncaster handicap last time; off a short break; effective from 6f to 8f and handles any surface but prefers cut over shorter trips; remains out of form. Won a turf claimer in August but down the field in his subsequent handicaps.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 +13%) Pianoforte	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(3) Pianoforte 13/2, Did well considering slow start beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; usually held up; effective 5-7f, acts on GS, GF and AW; better than showed latest. Again the race didn't pan out ideally when fourth from off the pace over C&D latest.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 +13%) Expert Agent	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(5) Expert Agent 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; visor applied first time; suited by 6f and handles all-weather; down to a competitive mark. Beneath his last winning turf mark and doesn't arrive here in bad form; visor new.
9th	7 9th (7) (18/1 -50%) Lion's House	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Lion's House 18/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective at 5f to 6f and suited by a sound surface; mark is falling but not in best form. Beaten only 2l into sixth of 12 over 5f here recently when not far behind Blue Lakota.

12:30 Newcastle (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CARGIN BHUI has failed to justify favouritism twice already in 2026, but he was only just denied at Wolverhampton and then raced wider than ideal at Southwell on Tuesday. He is clearly in good heart and can reward those who keep the faith. Blue Lakota found only one too good over 5f here on New Year's Day, although that form has already taken a knock and Expert Agent might be the bigger danger off an ever-decreasing mark. True Promise is another to consider.

This is a step up in grade from Class 6 but CARGIN BHUI has been a bit unlucky in his last two races and he's effective at this level.

Ran respectably over 5f last time; has gained both AW wins over C&D.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 +30%) Express Train	14 14/1(+30%)	(7) Express Train 14/1, Found little and ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective at 6f, acts on AW; slowly easing in the weights and needs more. Has one standout performance; still needs to prove he can repeat it.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +0%) Captain Vallo	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Captain Vallo 16/1, Made no impact from off the pace when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time; suited by 6f but may not get 7f; acts on AW; needs to bounce back. Three wins over C&D; possibly needed latest run; check the market signals.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +30%) Judgment Call	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(5) Judgment Call 7/2, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form when third last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective at 6/7f, acts on S, GF and AW; remains dangerous. C&D success in December; has made the frame in both outings since.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +31%) Fiscal Policy	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Fiscal Policy 9/2, Again below his summer level when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time; best at 6f, acts on AW; needs more. Six-time AW winner who has slipped to an attractive mark; one to consider.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -45%) Ishe Worth Agamble	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) Ishe Worth Agamble 16/1, Ran to his recent level when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on AW; on a competitive mark. Best AW effort when fifth at Southwell last time; not dismissed.
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 +0%) Maxi Boy	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Maxi Boy 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective over 6/7f, acts on AW; capable again off this mark. Has a modest strike-rate but he's in a consistent vein of form.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -56%) Yaaser	14 14/1(-56%)	(6) Yaaser 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here three starts back; again below form last time and 1lb lower here; usually held up; effective from 6-8f, acts on AW; drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. Below par twice since course win; yet to score over this trip.

13:05 Newcastle (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Supreme King bounced back to form at Southwell but isn't guaranteed to perform to that level again, whereas MAXI BOY has put together a sequence of solid efforts in defeat and can be rewarded for that consistency. He was beaten a length into second by Judgment Call here last month and is taken to gain his revenge on 3lb better terms. Judgment Call has since made the frame at Southwell and is a genuine threat once more.

With the possibility that he's about to return to peak form, FISCAL POLICY gets the vote off an attractive mark.

13:40 Newcastle (Class 2) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +63%) Stateira	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(2) Stateira 6/4, Scored by 4 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark here two runs ago and ran to form off this mark last time. Effective at 7/8f and acts on AW; can go well again. Fairly useful form over 1m on last two starts; 1-1 at 7f (debut win); may improve further.
2	8 2nd (8) (13/2 +13%) Nikki Swango	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(8) Nikki Swango 13/2, Bit keen but showed a good attitude when landing a handicap by a short head at Dundalk off a 5lb lower mark last time. Effective at 6/7f and suited by AW; fair chance of a hat-trick. Irish mare who has a record of 211211, all at Dundalk, since rejoining this stable.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 +33%) Indigo Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(4) Indigo Dream 8/1, Travelled, came clear with ease when winning a maiden at Dundalk by 3 1/2l last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on S, G and AW; mark unchanged for return to handicaps. Straightforward task last time and this is harder but she may have more to offer on AW.
4	10 4th (10) (25/1 -150%) Donna Nook	25 25/1(-150%)	(10) Donna Nook 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 8-10f and acts on AW; capable off this rating. Faces a tougher task upped in class but is 1-1 at 7f on AW (Irish success).
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +31%) Enola Grey	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Enola Grey 11/1, Won by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts back and ran to form last time off the same mark. Trainer in form; suited by 7/8f and acts on AW; drop in trip looks fine. Six-time AW winner but is more exposed than most of today's rivals.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -57%) Mollie Foster	11 11/1(-57%)	(5) Mollie Foster 11/1, Best work late, improved upped in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 6-8f, acts on GS, GF and AW; more to come although drop in trip not certain to suit. Made a winning AW debut when last seen; interesting prospect for shrewd new connections.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -33%) Rajindri	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Rajindri 16/1, Well below form when finishing down the field in the Prix Miss Satamixa (Listed) at Deauville last time; in good form prior and has a significant jockey booking. Effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; capable but needs to bounce back. Mixed results in a light 2025 campaign; by no means certain to defy top weight.
8th	6 8th (6) (15/2 +17%) Stellenbosch	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(6) Stellenbosch 15/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford two starts ago; ran to form last time and is 1lb higher here. Effective at 7/8f and acts on AW; considered after a small rise. Record of 1412 since racing in 7f contests on AW; may well remain competitive.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -27%) Mereside Diva	28 28/1(-27%)	(9) Mereside Diva 28/1, Failed to show from off the pace after an awkward start when down the field in a handicap at Ayr last time. Returning from a break; effective at 7f but in moderate form. Goes into unknown territory, being the only AW debutante in the field.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -129%) Second Fiddle	16 16/1(-129%)	(11) Second Fiddle 16/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here two starts ago and ran just about to form last time off the same mark. Suited by 8f and acts on AW; needs to find a bit more. Ex-Irish mare who is 6-8 (all over 1m and mostly at Newcastle) for current yard.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 -100%) Bela Sonata	8 8/1(-100%)	(3) Bela Sonata 8/1, Improved, scored with plenty in hand landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 7-9f, acts on G, AW; likely to go well once more. Record is 2-4 and gained both wins fresh; open to further progress on reappearance.

13:40 Newcastle (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Nikki Swango has been absolutely flying at Dundalk, but her compatriot INDIGO DREAM might be the better value. Ross O'Sullivan's filly broke through as her odds suggested she would last month and her early form, especially her Curragh second to the classy Red Letter, suggests she could be well treated off 83 for her handicap debut. Bela Sonata ran out a comprehensive winner at Newbury on her first foray outside of maiden/novice company and has been freshened up since. Stellenbosch and Stateira also enter the equation in a good race.

Lightly raced BELA SONATA is particularly interesting and she's first choice ahead of Mollie Foster.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 -43%) Duke Of Oxford	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Duke Of Oxford 5/1, Ran to form when winning the London Stayers' Series Final by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Best at 16f and enjoys the all-weather, particularly Kempton. Likely to go well again. Excels at Kempton where he won last time, but has plenty of good form here as well.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +38%) Ribble Vibe	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Ribble Vibe 5/1, Ran to form when winning a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective up to 16f and acts on all-weather. Likely to have more to come at this trip. 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 +0%) Brasil Power	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Brasil Power 8/1, Improved again landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-12f, well suited by the longer trip now, acts on GF and AW; stamina to prove over this far. On a roll but unraced beyond 1m4f so will be into unknown territory some way out.
4	11 4th (11) (16/1 +0%) Weddell Sea	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Weddell Sea 16/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Suited by 16f and acts on all-weather. Likely to go well again. Recent C&D winner but will do well to follow up in this higher grade.
5th	10 5th (10) (40/1 -150%) Humble Spark	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Humble Spark 40/1, Did his best work late when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective from 12f to 16f and acts on all-weather. Worth a step back up in trip. He's had mixed fortunes over 2m and probably ideally suited by shorter.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 -50%) Blazeon Five	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Blazeon Five 12/1, Travelled, improved again landing a Staying Handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time; suited by 16f, acts on S, G and AW; chance of a four-timer. Excellent overall strike-rate and she's won her last three, the latest on Tapeta.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -230%) Wise Eagle	33 33/1(-230%)	(1) Wise Eagle 33/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective from 14f to 18f, acts on all-weather, and has undergone a wind operation since. Has a bit to prove but remains capable. Fair hurdle run latest and 3lb lower than when going close in this 12 months ago.
8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 -8%) New York Minute	7 7/1(-8%)	(9) New York Minute 7/1, Scored by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form last time, 2lb higher here; effective 12-17f, acts on any; strong stayer to go well again. Failed in his bid for a four-timer but ran Berkshire Sundance close at Kempton.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 +30%) Tryfan	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) Tryfan 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective from 12f to 16f and suited by a sound surface. Needs more off this mark. Second of 19 over C&D last summer and has since won comfortably at Southwell.
10th	6 10th (6) (4/1 +11%) Berkshire Sundance	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Berkshire Sundance 4/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Effective up to 16f and acts on all-weather. A 6yo who remains firmly on the up. All five career wins have come in his last eight races so something has clicked.
11th	4 11th (4) (7/1 +42%) Sheradann	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Sheradann 7/1, Won by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton on his penultimate start. Better than the result when hampered late last time and runs off the same mark here. Significant jockey booking and considered over 16f on the all-weather. Kempton winner in October but only tenth there last time, behind Duke Of Oxford.

14:15 Newcastle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Berkshire Sundance got the better of New York Minute by half a length at Kempton last month and that form is likely to be upheld, despite the revised terms. Even so, TRYFAN looks the way to go. Harry Charlton's charge finished a fair third in this grade over 1m4f at Southwell in November and goes off an unchanged rating. He was a neck in front of Sheradann in second when last seen over the marathon trip in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle in June and could regain the winning thread.

Very competitive. DUKE OF OXFORD excels at Kempton where he won last time but he was placed in a Northumberland Plate here.

1	4 1st (4) (25/1 -39%) King's Code	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) King's Code 25/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Chelmsford three starts back and ran to form last time. Now 1lb lower and effective from 10f to 12f on all-weather. The handicapper may have caught up. Bang in form but might be a shade high in the weights now for a race this hotly contested.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +31%) Parlando	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(8) Parlando 9/2, Picked up well from off the pace, strong at finish in landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on GS, GF and AW; respected in hat-trick bid. Had 26 races but arrives here in career-best form and handicapped to go well.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -144%) Beylerbeyi	22 22/1(-144%)	(3) Beylerbeyi 22/1, Ridden confidently and improved in a new headgear combination when landing the Cesarewitch Handicap by 1 1/4l off an 8lb lower mark at Newmarket last time. Usually held up and effective from 12f to 18f, but more needed off a higher mark dropping markedly in trip. Cesarewitch winner; 8lb higher this afternoon and he's returning from a lengthy break.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 -63%) Time Loop	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(11) Time Loop 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten a short-head in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; significant jockey booking; effective 8-10f, acts on Hy, AW; more to come now handicapping. Improving mare from a top yard and could be on a good mark for this handicap debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -22%) Teumessias Fox	11 11/1(-22%)	(2) Teumessias Fox 11/1, The yard won this last year. Ran to form despite a slow start when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time. Off a short break and effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface, so capable off this mark. Capable of being in the shake-up granted a solid pace to chase; claimer enlisted.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/4 +70%) Regal Ulixes	1.5 6/4(+70%)	(5) Regal Ulixes 6/4, Yard won this last year; didn't stay and probably out of depth well beaten in King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot latest; in good form prior; suited by 8-10f, acts on S, G; more to come handicapping back from a break. 2-4 and gelded since finishing seventh in a 1m4f Group 2 at Royal Ascot.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 +63%) Military Academy	6 6/1(+63%)	(1) Military Academy 6/1, Bit below form when tried in a visor and beaten 5l in the Quebec Stakes (Listed) at Lingfield last time. The trainer is in form, and he's suited by 1m4f with some give, but has something to prove at present. Not seen to best effect on recent stable debut and too classy to put a line through.
8th	12 8th (12) (18/1 -13%) Dark Moon Rising	18 18/1(-13%)	(12) Dark Moon Rising 18/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a 5lb lower mark at York last time. Off a short break and effective from 10f to 12f on all-weather, though inconsistent but capable. Went up 5lb for narrow York defeat in October but he can deal with this mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 +0%) Cristo	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Cristo 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Returning from a long layoff but effective from 7f to 10f on all-weather and can go well again. Ran well in defeat here in May; now gelded and there could be more to come as a 4yo.
10th	13 10th (13) (28/1 -133%) Zryan	28 28/1(-133%)	(13) Zryan 28/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts back and ran to form last time off the same mark. Effective from 8f to 10f on all-weather and remains in good form. Running well but was put in his place by Parlando off this mark three weeks ago.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 +0%) Storm Catcher	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Storm Catcher 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective from 8f to 12f on all-weather, but others look stronger. Multiple AW winner but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature.
12th	14 12th (14) (20/1 -100%) Flame Of Forest	20 20/1(-100%)	(14) Flame Of Forest 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 7f to 9f on all-weather; a big gelding with more to come. Looks ready for this stiffer stamina test but he has raised in grade from a Class 4.
13th	7 13th (7) (40/1 -344%) Night Breeze	40 40/1(-344%)	(7) Night Breeze 40/1, Travelled well and ran to form when landing the Shergar Cup Challenge by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time. Enjoys making the running, effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface, and capable after a break. Won at Ascot in August despite a wide trip and only 4lb higher now; placed form here.

14:50 Newcastle (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Despite being disadvantaged by a slow pace, Teumessias Fox did well to finish as close as he did when third over C&D last time and remains on a workable rating. He needs to be taken seriously, along with the hat-trick seeking Midnight Lion, but it may pay to side with TIME LOOP. William Haggas' mare made a deep impression when returning from a long time away from the track at Chelmsford in November, prior to just being touched off into second under a penalty at Wolverhampton. An opening mark of 87 may prove workable and she looks the one to side with.

This will take some winning. As it could be run at a true pace it may pay to risk TEUMESSIAS FOX who is a classy operator on the AW.

1	11 1st (11) (33/1 -50%) The Caltonian	33 33/1(-50%)	(11) The Caltonian 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f with all wins on this surface; showing better form recently. Solid efforts in defeat here on last 2 starts; return to 6f a plus; can go well at a price.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +33%) Pocklington	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(3) Pocklington 10/3, Ran to best when landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on this surface; capable of another good run despite a career-high mark. Heavily backed when beating a few of these at Southwell on New Year's Day; solid again.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 -12%) Fivethousandtoone	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Fivethousandtoone 28/1, Stopped quickly and may have needed the run when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Trainer in form; effective at 6f and better on this surface; may show more this time. Looked rusty when behind Pocklington on New Year's Day; boasts a fine C&D record; chance.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +27%) Sergeant Wilko	16 16/1(+27%)	(8) Sergeant Wilko 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Ayr last time. Enjoys making the running; returns from a break after a wind operation; suited by 6f and acts on this surface; needs to bounce back. C&D winner; had a wind op since last seen and well treated on 3yo exploits; not ruled out.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +8%) Heavenly Heather	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Heavenly Heather 11/1, Ran to form off a new mark when dropped in trip, winning by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f and suited by a sound surface; hat-trick chance with return to longer trip no issue. Thriving 5yo but a penalty for Tuesday's 5f win leaves her vulnerable at this level.
6th	2 6th (2) (20/1 -67%) Wiltshire	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Wiltshire 20/1, Again below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time, needing the run. Usually held up and effective at 6/7f on this surface; could fare better now fitter. Lightly raced since his progressive year in 2024; bit to prove for now.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 -11%) Coul Angel	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Coul Angel 5/1, Won by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton three starts ago. Not clear run and should have finished closer when sixth, beaten 3l off 95 last time; same mark here. Suited by 6f and in good form. Fast-improving 4yo whose last two runs can be significantly upgraded; not reached ceiling.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +14%) Ten Pounds	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) Ten Pounds 6/1, Didn't quite get home when beaten a length off this mark at Southwell last time, running without the declared tongue-tie. Suited by 6/7f and prefers a sound surface; remains on a competitive mark. Close 4th behind Pocklington on stable debut two weeks ago; still not fully exposed.
9th	7 9th (7) (11/2 +21%) Germanic	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(7) Germanic 11/2, Travelled well and was on top late when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 6/7f and on this surface; mark still competitive. Record of 121 on AW and still well treated despite a 6lb rise for his C&D win in November.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -136%) Oriental Prince	33 33/1(-136%)	(14) Oriental Prince 33/1, Won by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here in November, then ran to form back up in trip when third last time. Just 1lb higher now; effective at 5/6f and acts well on this surface; remains on a fair mark. Multiple course winner; arrives in form but this is tougher than he is used to.
11th	13 11th (13) (25/1 +24%) Purest Time	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Purest Time 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Suited by 6f and acts well on this surface; respected off current mark. Behind three of these when close fifth at Southwell last time and no obvious excuse there.
12th	4 12th (4) (9/1 -13%) Berkshire Whisper	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Berkshire Whisper 9/1, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time. Top jockey returns to the saddle; effective at 6f on this surface; more to come if settling better. 10lb higher than for C&D win last Good Friday; two fair runs after a break; more needed.
13th	10 13th (10) (16/1 -14%) Eminency	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Eminency 16/1, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Chelmsford on penultimate start, then ran to form when second last time. Now 2lb higher; effective at 6/7f and acts on this surface; can go well again. Thriving in recent months and pushed Pocklington hard on New Year's Day; each-way shout.
14th	12 14th (12) (12/1 +40%) Photosynthesis	12 12/1(+40%)	(12) Photosynthesis 12/1, Showed a good attitude and ran to best when landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket last time. Returning from a break; suited by 6f and barely stays 7f; still on a competitive mark back on this surface. Ended 2025 with a game Newmarket win; up 3lb and in a deeper race on his return.

15:20 Newcastle (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Ten Pounds ran without his declared tongue-tie when a close fourth behind Pocklington at Southwell and there is every chance that form can be overturned, especially on these more favourable terms. However, BERKSHIRE WHISPER attempted to make all but faded into fourth near the finish at Kempton last time and goes off the same mark. With both of his career victories coming over C&D and Oisin Murphy back on board, he looks the one to beat. Germanic completes the shortlist.

A competitive sprint but GERMANIC (nap) looks to hold outstanding claims. Impressive over C&D in November, a 6lb rise is manageable.

Trainer in form; effective over 6/7f on the all-weather and may progress further. Three wins in a week this month; taking on stronger opposition now but still has potential.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 0%) Monarch's Gold	6.5 13/2(0%)	(2) Monarch's Gold 13/2, Yard won this last year. Ran to form when winning a novice at Southwell by 3/4l last time. Off a short break; effective at 6f, bred to stay beyond 8f; good attitude and still has more to come. 2-2 on AW; makes handicap debut off a tough mark but he retains potential.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 +63%) Augustus Gloop	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(7) Augustus Gloop 10/3, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten a neck off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f, should appreciate further, acts on AW; steadily progressive. C&D winner at 2; good 2nd on handicap debut ten days ago; not reached his ceiling just yet.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 +13%) Rogue Supremacy	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Rogue Supremacy 14/1, Below form and unbalanced when not staying in the Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time. Returning from a break; effective over 5/6f on a sound surface. Game and reliable type. Best 2yo run came on only AW outing (Polytrack); needs to step forward but it's possible.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 +8%) Gorey Gold	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Gorey Gold 11/1, Probably improved slightly when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 6/7f and very consistent performer. Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; up 3lb in a better race.

Effective at 6f on the all-weather; consistent and probably still has a bit to come. Some promise in novice company but looks to be in at the deep end on her handicap debut.

15:55 Newcastle (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Having completed a four-timer at Southwell a shade cosily last month, TEN CARAT HARRY may still be a step ahead of the assessor. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for Jamie Osborne's progressive gelding and he edges the vote over handicap debutant Monarch's Gold. The Too Darn Hot colt has only tasted defeat once in three outings and is open to improvement. Fellow last-time-out winners Bassenthwaite and Dartrey are others to consider.

Rogue Supremacy ran a cracker on his only AW run as a 2yo but AUGUSTUS GLOOP shaped well ten days ago and can go one better.

Effective at 7f and 8f on all-weather; chance off new mark. Exploited reduced mark at Southwell two weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb.
3	8 3rd (8) (18/1 -80%) Dosman	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Dosman 18/1, Made late gains up in grade and ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Usually held up; effective 7f and 8f on all-weather; not one to rely on. Recent stable debut suggested he retained ability; interesting off a dangerous mark.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 +50%) Apiarist	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(3) Apiarist 9/2, Back to form, should have finished closer beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Ascot last time; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, acts on any; chance if ready to roll.

Top jockey returns; effective at 7f and 8f on all-weather, likes Newcastle; should come on for that run up in trip.

7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -71%) Uniting	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Uniting 12/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here two starts back; ran to form when third last time, now 1lb higher.

16:30 Newcastle (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Although he found his winning run coming to an end when finishing third over 7f here last month, STORM STAR is entitled to build on that first run for 239 days. Moreover, a return to 1m is also likely to help the five-year-old and a fifth career victory may be on the horizon. Talis Evolvere arrives on the back of a triumph at Southwell and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of triple C&D scorer Rogue Encore.

Storm Star is rock solid but DOSMAN is well treated if he can build on his encouraging stable debut.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
