1	1 1st (1) (11/2 -10%) Flying Scotsman		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) Flying Scotsman 11/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (2m), never nearer. Off 95 days. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Dropped a long way in weights; creditable 4th in better C&D race on penultimate start.
2	8 2nd (8) (17/2 +66%) Duchess		8.5 17/2(+66%)																															(8) Duchess 17/2, Eighth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 35 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won on return to action last May (1m); stays 1m2f but still has stamina questions at 1m4f.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 +0%) Opticality		5 5/1(+0%)																															(3) Opticality 5/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 42 days ago but had been runner-up on both starts prior to that. Capable of bouncing back with Billy Loughnane taking the reins. Both wins on Tapeta elsewhere; running well for new yard until poor at Southwell latest.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -25%) Yakhabar		20 20/1(-25%)																															(4) Yakhabar 20/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in C&D handicap 17 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Two C&D wins in 2024; well treated now but twice beaten out of sight since back from break.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/11 +42%) Letmeseethecolts		0.727273 8/11(+42%)																															(5) Letmeseethecolts 8/11, Career best when winning 7-runner classified event (5/2) at Southwell (11f) 17 days ago, well on top finish. Looks on a good mark back in a handicap. Improved since back from a break, cosy winner of 1m3f classified latest; may do better yet.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -125%) Star Of Markinch		18 18/1(-125%)																															(7) Star Of Markinch 18/1, 9-y-o maiden. 14/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (2m) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Place claims again. Maiden; close call over 2m here in December; not quite as good next time; now back at 1m4f.
7th	2 7th (2) (125/1 -279%) Pilgrim Of Culture		125 125/1(-279%)																															(2) Pilgrim Of Culture 125/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Karl Burke when last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 28 days ago. Can only watch after that. Has form at this trip but finished remote on debut for new yard after a break.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 +31%) Typewritten		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Typewritten 11/1, Unreliable sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (16.5f) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip. Never threatened at Wolverhampton latest but two fair efforts at 1m4f/2m here previously.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 -14%) Cage Rattler		16 16/1(-14%)																															(9) Cage Rattler 16/1, Just poor on the Flat these days, beaten 11 lengths when second of 7 in C&D handicap (80/1) 17 days ago. Others are preferred. Won over 7f in Ireland; well held more often than not in Britain; recent 2nd was remote.

13:58 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

LETMESEETHECOLTS boosted her confidence with a breakthrough victory in a classified event at Southwell and is capable of making an impact in handicap company off this sort of figure. Cage Rattler occupied the runner-up berth over C&D but he was beaten a long way and a bigger threat might come in the shape of Star Of Markinch, who has shown she retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game with placed efforts over the extended two miles here.

Recent Southwell classified winner LETMESEETHECOLTS looks well treated back in a handicap from a mark in the low-50s. Opticality's latest effort was too bad to be true and she could provide the chief threat if back to the form she showed when runner-up twice in the autumn. Star of Markinch may prove best of the rest.

A few of these have plenty to prove but LETMESEETHECOLTS won a minor race at Southwell in pleasing style and may improve further.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +25%) Buzz Box		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(4) Buzz Box 9/4, Course winner. Shaped better than the result when fifth of 9 over C&D (16/5) 34 days ago, not clear run. Shortlist material. Good second here in December and repeatedly met trouble next time; might be the answer.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +22%) Darlo Pride		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(6) Darlo Pride 7/2, Three wins from 17 runs last year, including C&D last month. Badly hampered and can have latest C&D run ignored. One to consider. Reliable sort who had an excuse when a beaten favourite last time; has to be considered.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 +64%) Our Absent Friends		2.5 5/2(+64%)																															(1) Our Absent Friends 5/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in C&D handicap 6 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Mostly in good form of late and better than bare result last time; unlikely to be far away.
4	9 4th (9) (28/1 +30%) Sugar Baby		28 28/1(+30%)																															(9) Sugar Baby 28/1, C&D winner but last of 8 on recent return from a 14-month absence. Can only be watched after that. Should come on for C&D reappearance run (80-1) but might need today's as well.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +18%) Winter Crown		9 9/1(+18%)																															(3) Winter Crown 9/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 on C&D reappearance 6 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time. 0-8 since 3yo win and no threat here on reappearance; others have less to prove.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 +36%) Ramon Di Loria		9 9/1(+36%)																															(10) Ramon Di Loria 9/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fifth of 8 in C&D handicap C&D 21 days ago. Could strip fitter for that first outing in over 3 months. Hood back on. Encouraging reappearance when fifth over C&D; has dropped below his last winning mark.
7th	2 7th (2) (4/1 +0%) Strong Johnson		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Strong Johnson 4/1, C&D winner in November. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 23 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Found only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D; fair chance off unchanged mark.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 -64%) Cast No Shadow		18 18/1(-64%)																															(5) Cast No Shadow 18/1, C&D winner. Visored first time, third of 6 in C&D handicap 17 days ago. Blinkers on now. Signs of return to form when third over C&D 17 days ago; not ruled out.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -100%) Wrestling Revenue		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) Wrestling Revenue 28/1, 17/2, first run since leaving Tony Carroll when last of 7 in C&D handicap 29 days ago. Needs to leave that behind. Didn't show much on stable debut four weeks ago and his AW record is modest.

14:28 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Strong Johnson is still a reliable sprinter at the age of nine and is likely to go hard from the stalls again. Our Absent Friends' C&D fourth was a step back in the right direction, but CAST NO SHADOW also showed more signs of life when third over track and trip and the visor that was fitted there is now replaced by blinkers. If they inspire just a touch more improvement, he can capitalise on a sliding rating. Darlo Pride is noted too.

BUZZ BOX didn't get much room to work with over C&D last time and gets another chance to show he's on a good mark with Billy Loughnane in the saddle for the first time. Darlo Pride and Strong Johnson have been in good heart this winter and head the dangers.

The vote goes to the lightly raced BUZZ BOX who found only a resurgent Mondammej too strong two outings ago and met trouble last time.

Off 101 days. Makes tapeta debut with more needed. Landed gamble at Ffos Las last summer; two trainer changes since; may still be unexposed.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +44%) Pallas Lord		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(4) Pallas Lord 5/2, 3-time C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Becoming well treated. Now well handicapped again, shaped nicely last time and most recent win came over C&D.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +26%) Al Baahy		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(1) Al Baahy 10/3, One win from 35 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 11 days ago. Hood back on. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. 1-35 but was a good second after Christmas and had an excuse last time; high on the list.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +0%) Odd Socks Havana		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Odd Socks Havana 7/1, 5-time course winner. 10/1, not disgraced when eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 59 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and weighted to go close. No impact recently but return of headgear is a positive; interesting from a reduced mark.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -56%) Top Gun Tina		25 25/1(-56%)																															(9) Top Gun Tina 25/1, Ninth of 11 in minor event at this course (8f, 11/1) 8 days ago. Others appeal more. 12-race maiden; well held over 1m here last week; unconvincing.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 +10%) Drakeholes		9 9/1(+10%)																															(2) Drakeholes 9/1, 4-time C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 23 days ago so needs to bounce back. Two C&D wins last autumn but last two runs have been below par (especially poor on latest).
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 -40%) Lumenbourg		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Lumenbourg 7/1, Winner at Doncaster in August. 4/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good). Off 113 days. Something to find on form. 7f specialist; winner at Doncaster in 2024; has had four months off since below-par run.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/1 -8%) Yaahobby		7 7/1(-8%)																															(8) Yaahobby 7/1, C&D winner. 9/1, creditable second of 11 in minor event at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. In the mix again. Won two C&D handicaps last autumn and has remained in form; should be thereabouts.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 +0%) Bitacora		12 12/1(+0%)																															(6) Bitacora 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, tailed off when fell 3 out in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Joe Conlon. Watch the betting. Lightly raced and hard to weigh up but needs watching in market for new yard after absence.

14:58 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Yaahobby occupied the runner-up berth in a classified stakes over C&D earlier in the month and should remain competitive now that he steps back into the handicap ranks. However, PALLAS LORD gets the nod. Donald Whillans' seven-year-old returned to some sort of form when fourth over track and trip and is now 2lb lower. He competes off 5lb below his last winning mark and could record his eighth course success. Our Dagger completes the shortlist.

ODD SOCKS HAVANA goes really well here and is fancied to bag a sixth success at the track now he is refitted with cheekpieces off a handy-looking mark. C&D winner Yaahobby appeals as the one to chase home Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o ahead of Pallas Lord and Al Baahy.

This looks a solid opportunity for PALLAS LORD to regain the winning thread. Odd Socks Havana is second choice.

Can make presence felt. Needs to bounce back from two below-par runs but Billy Loughnane is a positive booking.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 -21%) Hierarchy		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(2) Hierarchy 10/3, Readily ended a long losing run in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago but subsequently disqualified for weighing in light. Up 5 lb here but still a big player. First past post over this trip at Lingfield (weighed in light); unlikely to be far away.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -56%) Muscika		7 7/1(-56%)																															(3) Muscika 7/1, 15/2, resumed winning ways in 6-runner handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Had run of race there but this veteran can give another good account. Admirable veteran who retains vim and verve; C&D winner last time; in the mix again.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -65%) Momaer		14 14/1(-65%)																															(1) Momaer 14/1, 16/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 15 days ago. Can take a step forward back over 6f here. Well handicapped and her last run was a step in the right direction; not without interest.
5th	5 5th (5) (28/1 -12%) Respectful		28 28/1(-12%)																															(5) Respectful 28/1, 28/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 42 days ago. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. Showed little in 2024 but new stable has a good record with recruits from other yards.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/2 +65%) Sibyl Charm		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(6) Sibyl Charm 7/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Needs considering. 3-9 here, 0-14 elsewhere; might have needed latest run; well treated if building on that.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/4 +21%) Kitaab		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Kitaab 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 6/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Respectable second at Wolverhampton 18 days ago and could have a say again.
8th	7 8th (7) (9/1 -13%) Bellagio Man		9 9/1(-13%)																															(7) Bellagio Man 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Fifth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Not discounted. Can blow start, and was withdrawn after running loose eight days ago; in form before then.

15:28 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

KITAAB only found a subsequent winner too good in a deeper event than this at Wolverhampton on his most recent start and competes off an unchanged rating. Philip Kirby's six-year-old has a previous C&D victory on his profile and can regain the winning thread. Muscika struck over track and trip earlier in the month and holds an obvious chance off just 1lb higher, while Hierarchy is another to keep an eye on.

A few with chances but HIERARCHY ended a losing sequence in fine style at Lingfield last week only to lose the room in the stewards' room and can gain compensation here. Veteran Muscika arrives in very good nick and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Kitaab and Momaer.

A chance is taken on MOMAER who improved plenty on her second run back from an absence and can build on that again.

Noteworthy newcomer. Fetched 80,000gns at breeze-ups; wouldn't have to be anything special to make an impact.

Needs a big step forward. Slowly away and no threat on debut; in good hands but has plenty of improvement to find.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 -144%) Target Man		5.5 11/2(-144%)																															(6) Target Man 11/2, Lightly-raced gelding.

15:58 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Target Man arrives with something to prove after finishing last of three when favourite at Chelmsford. Stepping up from 5f might aid his cause but the same owners' POLITICAL POWER may have his measure. Gelded after running down the field in a Curragh maiden won by leading Classic contender The Lion In Winter, he was previously placed over a mile at Bellewstown and his proven stamina could prove the deciding factor. A War Eagle is capable of being in the mix after a promising start at Wolverhampton.

Ed Bethell's A WAR EAGLE made a promising start when third at Wolverhampton and is fancied to build on it here to get off the mark. Power Fizz rates the chief threat if, as expected, building on his Yarmouth fifth after breathing surgery. Target Man also has the form to play a part and newcomer Miami Matrix is worth monitoring in the betting in an intriguing maiden.

Target Man sets the form standard but several could improve past him, in particular A WAR EAGLE (preferred) and Power Fizz.

16:29 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

REBECCA'S GIRL has been dropped 2lb for her recent third here over 7f and that performance suggested that returning to a mile could see her back to winning ways. Cusack has to enter calculations having run creditably last time under a penalty, and Kaiya Fraser's 3lb claim is another positive to aid his cause. Others for the shortlist include Volenti and Paris Lights.

VOLENTI didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a recent C&D third and can bag a fourth C&D victory now off an unchanged mark. Cusack also goes really well round here and is next on the list ahead of another course scorer Rebecca's Girl.

Course regular CUSACK (nap) can run off a lower mark than when fifth here last week and has the added bonus of Kaiya Fraser's claim.
