1	7 1st (7) (11/4 +54%) Lincoln Burrows		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(7) Lincoln Burrows 11/4, Gambled on and showed improved form to make a successful handicap debut over 2½m here last April. Best effort this term when 12 lengths third of 14 over 20.5f at Ayr 4 weeks ago, shaping as if this trip could suit. Cheekpieces also go on first time. Showed signs of revival when third at Ayr (2m4f, heavy) latest; cheekpieces go on; player..
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -11%) Ushuaia Dancer		10 10/1(-11%)																															(8) Ushuaia Dancer 10/1, Made frame completed start in points. Has shown promise in a couple of novice hurdles this month and rates a potential improver in handicaps. Moderate early performances but there's been more encouragement lately; more needed..
3	13 3rd (13) (9/2 +18%) Glory Hights		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(13) Glory Hights 9/2, Improved when narrowly denied on 2½m course handicap debut 24 days ago, with the reopposing Scalloway Bay 8½ lengths back in third. Enters calculations. Good attitude latest, when only just held; up 5lb for that, so will need some improvement..
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 -50%) Scalloway Bay		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Scalloway Bay 12/1, First sign of ability when third of 9 on 2½m course handicap debut (heavy) 24 days ago. Tongue strap worn on that occasion retained. Has the potential to build on that but could do with jumping better. Best effort came latest on his handicap debut here (2m4f, soft); up in trip; player..
5th	11 5th (11) (28/1 -12%) Kingston Rock		28 28/1(-12%)																															(11) Kingston Rock 28/1, Poor form in bumpers/novice hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Well beaten at big odds in all five starts; can only be watched..
6th	14 6th (14) (9/1 +25%) Bushmill Boy		9 9/1(+25%)																															(14) Bushmill Boy 9/1, Remains a maiden after 18 starts but he has reached the frame on his last 6 outings. He's shown he can be competitive from around this mark; each-way player..
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 -230%) Bridgetjoans		66 66/1(-230%)																															(2) Bridgetjoans 66/1, Showed a bit in 3 qualifying runs before Christmas but her opening handicap mark looks tough on the face of things. Best effort came at Kelso on penultimate start; initial mark looks stiff..
8th	15 8th (15) (40/1 -60%) This Is Bob		40 40/1(-60%)																															(15) This Is Bob 40/1, Little form of worth in maiden/novice hurdles but more chance now handicapping from a basement mark. First outing for 6 months. 0-4 and hasn't yet shown enough to suggest he can be competitive in this field..
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +18%) Ffree Pedro		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Ffree Pedro 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped as if needing the run after 9 months off when sixth of 9 in 2½m course handicap in December. Pulled up on Wetherby chase debut on Boxing Day and quickly reverts to hurdles. No surprise if he left his previous form this season behind; back up in trip; drops 2lb..
12	12 |F| (12) (5/2 +67%) Emotional Roller		2.5 5/2(+67%)																															(12) Emotional Roller 5/2, Maiden Irish pointer. First sign of promise under Rules when third of 12 on 2½m Wetherby handicap debut on Boxing Day. This longer trip could suit. Considered. Better effort at Wetherby latest; the longer trip is probably a positive; each-way player..
10	10 |PU| (10) (28/1 -40%) Gine Sacre		28 28/1(-40%)																															(10) Gine Sacre 28/1, Absent since finishing third in a 20.5f Ayr handicap in February 2022. Betting the best guide to expectations after such a long spell on sidelines. Last seen in February 2022; drops 7lb but has wellbeing to prove..

13:50 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied on his handicap debut here earlier in the month, GLORY HIGHTS should be well suited by going back up in trip and William Maggs 3lb claim can help him get off the mark at the sixth time of asking. Secret Secret has strong claims on the form of his penultimate success at Kelso, while Lewa House has dropped to 2lb below his last winning mark. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Emotional Roller, Scalloway Bay and Theirshegoes.

EMOTIONAL ROLLER made a good start to his handicap career when third over 2½m at Wetherby on Boxing Day and there could be more to come now stepping up in trip so he's the suggestion. Ushuaia Dancer looks an interesting one for handicaps and is second choice ahead of Lewa House and Lincoln Burrows, who were second/third in the same race at Ayr at the turn of the year.

The suggestion is SCALLOWAY BAY, who has begun to show some improvement and can break his duck, now upped in trip.

1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +50%) Six One Nine		2 2/1(+50%)																															(4) Six One Nine 2/1, Good record here, winning this race in 2022 and gaining his first victory since in C&D handicap 5 weeks ago, responding well under this rider. Respected again up 4 lb. Won this two years ago and secured further C&D honours just before Christmas.
2	10 2nd (10) (15/2 +38%) Fathers Advice		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(10) Fathers Advice 15/2, Several creditable efforts in defeat over hurdles, not least when going close at Cartmel last summer, but yet to better poor form over fences, held again in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr 6 weeks ago. 0-23 after weakening tamely to be remote third over 2m4f at Ayr when tried in cheekpieces.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +38%) Blue Bear		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(6) Blue Bear 15/2, Offered more over hurdles at Kelso in October but hasn't built on that over fences. His jumping needs to improve. Eight-race maiden yet to be placed; beaten 30l and 15l in his two chases.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -17%) Brickadank		14 14/1(-17%)																															(11) Brickadank 14/1, Long-standing maiden well held again at Market Rasen in first-time cheekpieces 3 weeks ago. Didn't run too badly in the new cheekpieces at Market Rasen but he remains opposable.
5th	3 5th (3) (3/1 +33%) Beat The Edge		3 3/1(+33%)																															(3) Beat The Edge 3/1, Good placed efforts last 3 starts but should have won at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, turning it in once hitting the front. Risky. Again flattered to deceive last time; jockey will need to time his run to perfection.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 +46%) Contre Ordre		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(2) Contre Ordre 7/2, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase from Six One Nine in November. Not in the same form there on Boxing Day but could bounce back. Disappointing last time at Sedgefield but a contender on the form of his previous win.

14:25 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner over C&D last time out, SIX ONE NINE looks the one to beat off a 4lb higher mark and he can overturn form with Contre Ordre (first) from Sedgefield last November. Micky Hammond's charge has disappointed since and it may be that Beat The Edge gives the selection the most to think, having been runner-up on his last two outings. Dakota Moirette is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

SIX ONE NINE has C&D form figures of 12241 and is taken to follow up last month's victory here. Limerick Leader and Contre Ordre may emerge as a couple of the dangers.

In a race riddled with risks, bSIX ONE NINE\p should go well in a race he won two years ago .

1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +65%) Moon Over Mexico		2.25 9/4(+65%)																															(7) Moon Over Mexico 9/4, €70,000 3-y-o, £30,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Off the mark in Irish points (dead-heated) at the third attempt in November and is worth a market check for yard whose newcomers are often fancied. Cost £30,000 after dead-heating for 1st in Irish point; no surprise if he shows up well..
2	6 2nd (6) (7/4 +65%) Hazy Glen		1.75 7/4(+65%)																															(6) Hazy Glen 7/4, Winning start to his career in a Carlisle bumper in October and wasn't disgraced when mid-field in a listed event at Cheltenham next time. Also made a promising introduction to hurdles when runner-up in a Catterick maiden (19.3f, soft) last month and he's open to improvement. Under 5l second in a Catterick maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft) last month; each-way player..
3	13 3rd (13) (40/1 -100%) Pinot Rouge		40 40/1(-100%)																															(13) Pinot Rouge 40/1, Half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Advantage Point, stayed 2½m, and bumper winner/21f/23f chase winner Bushmans Pass. Winner of a maiden point on sole start to date back in November 2022 and the market should guide in terms of expectations of this mare on her Rules debut. Won sole Irish point (clear leader fell at the last) but probably best watched..
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 +46%) From The Clouds		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(4) From The Clouds 15/2, Placed all 4 completed starts in points and didn't shape badly when third of 6 on sole start under Rules to date in a Fairyhouse bumper in November 2022. However, will likely come on for the run on this hurdles debut for new connections. Showed promise in an Irish bumper; check for any market confidence; hurdling debut..
5th	10 5th (10) (11/4 +73%) Tigga Time		2.75 11/4(+73%)																															(10) Tigga Time 11/4, £30,000 buy after making a successful sole start in points last spring. Showed plenty to work on when third in a Catterick bumper (15.7f, good to soft) on Rules debut and this stiffer test will be in his favour now sent hurdling. Hood applied. Third on rules debut and with some improvement on that he could get competitive..
6th	11 6th (11) (33/1 +34%) Whosmydaddy		33 33/1(+34%)																															(11) Whosmydaddy 33/1, Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags but hasn't shown much in a handful of appearances under Rules, including on debut for this yard here earlier this month. Tigga Time is the stable No 1. Restricted point winner; well beaten in a bumper and two starts over hurdles..
7th	12 7th (12) (66/1 -230%) Zuul		66 66/1(-230%)																															(12) Zuul 66/1, Posted best effort from 4 starts in bumpers for Michael Appleby when third in an 8-runner contest at Stratford (16.3f, good) in August 2022 (gelded since). Subsequent absence is naturally a concern ahead of this hurdles/yard debut. Placed in a bumper; returns from a layoff for this hurdles/stable debut; best watched..
8	8 |PU| (8) (10/1 +50%) Red Sam		10 10/1(+50%)																															(8) Red Sam 10/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to useful 19f/25f hurdle winner Ree Okka. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (winner up to 25f) Identity Thief. Probably best watched on debut. Fifth foal; half-brother to point/2m3f/3m hurdle winner Ree Okka; market check on debut..
3	3 |PU| (3) (50/1 -150%) Court Case		50 50/1(-150%)																															(3) Court Case 50/1, Third both starts in small-field bumpers but beaten a fair way on each occasion and sizeable step forward needed now switched to hurdles. Should appreciate this trip for his hurdles debut; market check suggested..
5	5 |PU| (5) (150/1 -500%) Happy County		150 150/1(-500%)																															(5) Happy County 150/1, Didn't shape with a great deal of immediate promise when sixth in an 8-runner bumper on debut here last March. Beaten a distance on debut here in a bumper last March; needs a big step up on that..
2	2 |PU| (2) (150/1 -355%) Point Franklin		150 150/1(-355%)																															(2) Point Franklin 150/1, Made a winning start to hurdles career in a Kelso junior event (16.2f, heavy) last January but, following a 12-month absence, he didn't show much on his recent return to action over the same C&D. One of 3 representing the Rebecca Menzies yard. Below par when returning to Kelso for his only run since winning; bit to prove after that..
9	9 |PU| (9) (250/1 -150%) Samillier		250 250/1(-150%)																															(9) Samillier 250/1, Hard to make a case for based on what he's achieved thus far, both under Rules and between the flags. Has shown no worthwhile form in points, a bumper or two hurdle races.

15:00 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FLORIDA DREAMS faced a stiff test in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree on Boxing Day and is hard to oppose back at this less prestigious level. With a current rating of 129, he sets a decent standard and, with just a 7lb penalty to contend with for last month's win at Ayr, he's a prime contender in an otherwise ordinary novice hurdle. From The Clouds is feared most on his hurdling bow, with Rules debutant Moon Over Mexico rated a noteworthy alternative.

This step up in trip appears to be just what FLORIDA DREAMS needs and he is taken to resume winning ways having failed to land a blow in Grade 1 company last time. Tigga Time shaped well in a Catterick bumper and he is marginally preferred to Hazy Glen and point winner Moon Over Mexico for forecast purposes.

Unless something makes considerable improvement it is hard to see them being good enough to beat FLORIDA DREAMS, who can win again.

1	7 1st (7) (13/8 +19%) Fenland Tiger		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(7) Fenland Tiger 13/8, Progressive handicap hurdler and similar story over larger obstacles, making it 2 wins from 3 starts with a career-best display at Doncaster (26f) 3 weeks ago. Unlikely he's reached his limit yet and one to consider again. Prolific in handicap hurdles and form figures of 131 in handicaps over fences, all at 3m2f.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +60%) Prince Des Fichaux		8 8/1(+60%)																															(9) Prince Des Fichaux 8/1, Took well to fences last term, landing 10-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (25.3f, good to soft) in April (final start for Sam Thomas). Yet to fire in 3 starts for current yard, though, so has bit to prove. On his last winning mark but has made a quiet start for this yard.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +36%) Marown		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(1) Marown 9/2, Dual winner over fences during 2020/21. Winless subsequently but returned with good runners-up efforts in 3m handicaps at Ayr this winter. No reason why he won't go well again in this groove. Runner-up in both his runs this season, going close last time; should be a factor.
4	5 4th (5) (10/3 +45%) Brayhill		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(5) Brayhill 10/3, Low-mileage 9-y-o who was successful on return/chase debut last winter and, following another wind op, he made light of a 12-month absence to score over 20f here 38 days ago. Effective at this longer trip provided he can hold it together. First run after further wind surgery when grinding it out over 2m4f here last month.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/1 +18%) Mint Condition		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Mint Condition 9/1, Three-time hurdle winner who opened his account over fences at Haydock (22.2f) in December 2021. Acquitted himself well final 2 starts in stronger company thereafter that season but 21-month absence to overcome now starting out for new yard. Market may guide. Potentially well treated for this belated return to action after leaving Jennie Candlish.
3	3 |PU| (3) (17/2 -6%) Enqarde		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(3) Enqarde 17/2, Back to form after another wind operation when making a successful reappearance at Warwick. Not in same form at Haydock since, however, and headgear now applied. Below par last time but lurks on a dangerous mark and now goes in cheekpieces.

15:35 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

READYSTEADYBEAU had six and a half lengths to spare over the runner-up, Marown, when he bounded home at Ayr last month and is hard to oppose, despite the imposition of a 7lb higher mark. Marown holds a feasible chance of getting closer to the selection on the revised terms, but French import Jar Du Desert has been cut some slack by the handicapper and may be more of a threat on just his third start for the Nick Kent yard.

READYSTEADYBEAU looked well served by the return to positive tactics (notably jumped better) when running out a convincing winner at Ayr last month and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold follow-up bid. Fenland Tiger continues to improve and he's feared, with Brayhill and Marown other in-form sorts to consider.

A good handicap chase. ENQARDE has become hard to predict but he'd be a danger to all if on one of his going days in new cheekpieces.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -6%) Ip Up		2 2/1(-6%)																															(1) Ip Up 2/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France who struck for this yard over 2m at Fakenham in November. Late blunders didn't aid her cause when chasing Atlantic Dancer home at Kelso (2¼m, heavy) last time but that was still a creditable effort and she now meets that rival on 8 lb better terms. Perhaps stretched by 2m2f on heavy when left behind by Atlantic Dancer at Kelso.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/8 +31%) Golden Glance		1.375 11/8(+31%)																															(2) Golden Glance 11/8, Maiden winner at Haydock last spring and stepped up on her reappearance display when hitting the crossbar upped to 2½m in a first-time tongue strap at Aintree (heavy). 5 lb rise fair given that she pulled well clear of the third and another bold show likely. Clear claims after chasing home a Skelton improver at Aintree when clear of the rest.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 -84%) Atlantic Dancer		3 3/1(-84%)																															(3) Atlantic Dancer 3/1, In good form last spring, bagging handicaps at Uttoxeter and Kelso. Looked better than ever when proving 10 lengths too good for Ip Up back at the latter course during the Christmas period but this 8 lb higher mark could prove to be a stumbling block. Powered clear to beat Ip Up by 10l at Kelso; an 8lb rise seems justified.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +52%) Rory's Story		12 12/1(+52%)																															(4) Rory's Story 12/1, Showed ability in bumpers but she's failed to land a blow in 4 starts over hurdles, including on handicap bow at Ayr last time. Has shown little in her four hurdle races; a worthy outsider against in-form opposition.

16:10 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

ATLANTIC DANCER romped home a series qualifier at Kelso last month and an 8lb higher mark might not stop her from registering back-to-back successes. Ip Up was 10 lengths away in second in that aforementioned race and has work to do to reverse the form. With that in mind, Golden Glance rates a bigger threat after a much improved effort when tried with a first-time tongue-strap applied when she was a good second off 5lb lower at Aintree's Christmas fixture latest. She can go well with the application retained.

IP UP couldn't cope with Atlantic Dancer at Kelso but an 8 lb pull, combined with this drop back in trip and forecast better ground, could help tilt the scales in her favour this time. Atlantic Dancer will of course be dangerous if again allowed a soft lead but a bigger threat on this occasion may be posed by Golden Glance, who put in a good shift when runner-up at Aintree last month and she probably has more to offer.

Atlantic Dancer came 10l clear of IP UP (nap) at Kelso but the selection was stretched by that longer trip on heavy ground.

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.
