1	3 1st (3) (8/13 +0%) Gaelic Rover	0.615385 8/13(+0%)	(3) Gaelic Rover 8/13, Improved from debut when second, beaten a length in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; could improve for further in time. Placed on both hurdle starts and sets a good standard for the rest to aim at.
2	12 2nd (12) (50/1 0%) Roarin' Success	50 50/1(0%)	(12) Roarin' Success 50/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, needing the run on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Catterick; effective at 2m; a useful Flat winner who should be capable of much better over hurdles. Some useful form on the Flat but soundly beaten on recent hurdle debut at Catterick.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 -25%) Who's Glen	5 5/1(-25%)	(9) Who's Glen 5/1, Promising debut, just flattened out late when 4l third in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh; handled any ground on the Flat; a Flat winner who could make a fair hurdler and drop in trip may suit. Became disappointing on the Flat but hurdle debut third gives him something to build on.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 +0%) Intenzo	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Intenzo 100/1, Bit keen but improved from debut after a layoff on first start for the yard when 20l third in a maiden hurdle at Catterick; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; should come on for the stable debut but may be one for handicaps. Has shown some ability but not enough to suggest he's the one to be on today.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 +11%) So Proud	2 2/1(+11%)	(6) So Proud 2/1, Promising bumper debut, got first run and held on gamely to win by a neck in a 4yo bumper at Haydock on debut; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; bumper win boosted over hurdles. Sold for £100,000 after bumper win; could play a leading role on hurdle/stable debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (22/1 +56%) Midnight Bella	22 22/1(+56%)	(11) Midnight Bella 22/1, Never in the race on poor debut, down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby; trainer in form and likely to need more time over hurdles. No threat in either bumper and likewise on hurdle debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +11%) Swingforthefence	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Swingforthefence 16/1, Yard won this last year; fair bumper debut when third beaten 9l at Sedgefield; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; bumper form has been franked over hurdles but may just need this initial experience. Potential in pedigree; market check advised but he may be one for further down the line.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 +0%) Berwick Law	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) Berwick Law 100/1, Green and jumped abysmally on poor debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Catterick; looks in need of more experience. Well beaten on last month's bumper debut & same story when 80-1 over hurdles at Catterick.
9th	8 9th (8) (66/1 +0%) Takeyoutotheisland	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) Takeyoutotheisland 66/1, Modest debut when fourth beaten 48l in a novice hurdle at Carlisle; acts on soft ground; likely to need more time over hurdles. Hasn't posed a threat on his two starts; may be of greater interest when upped in trip.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 +52%) Made All	16 16/1(+52%)	(5) Made All 16/1, Too keen and modest hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield latest; usually held up and has stamina to prove over hurdles. 3-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; down the field at Sedgefield on sole hurdle start.
11th	2 11th (2) (33/1 +34%) Big Jon	33 33/1(+34%)	(2) Big Jon 33/1, Outpaced but improved from debut when well beaten in a bumper here latest; looks one for longer trips further down the line. Hurdle debut; unable to make an impact in his two bumpers and others are preferred.
12th	1 12th (1) (18/1 +10%) Art Dancer	18 18/1(+10%)	(1) Art Dancer 18/1, Improved slightly from debut experience when 6l third in a bumper at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; showed promise in bumpers and not ruled out for a local yard with a good record here. 3rd in bumper at Sedgefield on second start; might have an each-way squeak on hurdle debut.

11:45 Newcastle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GAELIC ROVER has a likeable pedigree and his two previous starts over hurdles were highly encouraging. Those efforts suggest he has banished the memory of a couple of falls in point-to-points and further progression could see the son of Walk In The Park get off the mark here. Who's Glen commands respect, cutting back in trip after a promising hurdles over 2m4f at Musselburgh. However, a bigger danger could be the Haydock bumper winner, So Proud, who could be anything now he tackles obstacles for the first time.

Having run well to be placed on both hurdle starts, GAELIC ROVER is taken to get off the mark. So Proud is the stand-out danger.

Effective from 2m to 2½m and acts on good to soft and good ground. His bumper win has worked out well and there should be more to come over hurdles.

5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 +10%) Noble George	18 18/1(+10%)	(7) Noble George 18/1, Ran to bumper level when third beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Off a short break.

Effective from 2m to 2½m and acts on soft and good ground. Type to do better when handicapping. Well held in all five runs and he needs improvement with hood added.

Off a short break and acts on good to soft ground. Has shown promise but looks one for handicaps over further than 2m. Some promise over hurdles but he needs more progress back at this trip.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 +0%) Blazing Echo	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Blazing Echo 100/1, Found little, a step back from his modest debut when down the field in a bumper at Catterick last time.

12:15 Newcastle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IS THIS FOR REAL won quite a decent bumper at Kelso last term and built on his hurdling-debut fourth when filling the same position but finishing much closer to the winner at Taunton. He can make it third-time lucky over timber, with Freddie Steady Go feared most on his first crack at obstacles. Madame La Papillon ran a stormer for second when 80/1 at Wetherby, but she needs to back that performance up.

Preference is for MADAME LA PAPILLON, who chased home a useful prospect at Wetherby and sets the standard on that eyecatching effort.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +0%) Moon Phases	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Moon Phases 9/2, Improved for the switch to fences when beaten a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Kelso last time. Back from a short break. Effective around 2m and acts on soft ground. More to come over fences stepped up in trip with the form of his debut effort working out well. Went close to getting straight off the mark over fences at Kelso; longer trip will suit..
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +23%) Quantock Hills	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Quantock Hills 5/1, Ran to debut form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Returns from a short break. Effective around 2m and may stay a little further. Form has been franked and he looks capable of better over fences. Yet to fire since switched to fences this campaign, but could improve for the longer trip..
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +56%) Jus De Citron	7 7/1(+56%)	(3) Jus De Citron 7/1, Keen and outpaced when needing the run after a wind operation, well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. This is his second run after wind surgery. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft ground. Previous hurdles form has been franked and he should come on for returning run now switched to fences. Appeals as the type to do better over fences but recent form gives him a bit to prove..
4	6 4th (6) (5/2 +0%) Fat Harry	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(6) Fat Harry 5/2, Scored by 5l off a 13lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. May have won but for a late error when second, beaten 3/4l off 101 last time, now 6lb higher. Trainer in good form. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground. Progressive. 6lb rise in the weights asks more, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet..
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +33%) Joecooker	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Joecooker 4/1, Ran to form in a first-time tongue tie when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Effective at around 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Consistent performer. Produced a career best over fences at Wetherby latest and likely to go well again..
6th	1 6th (1) (15/2 +25%) Glen Road	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(1) Glen Road 15/2, Scored by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Kelso on his penultimate start. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l off 119 last time on the same mark. Effective from 2m4f to 2m7f and acts on soft and good ground. Progressive over hurdles, though the handicapper may be catching up. Yard's horses do however tend to improve for switch to fences. Thriving over hurdles this term, and this switch to fences may unlock further improvement..
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (28/1 +0%) Dunnet Head	28 28/1(+0%)	(7) Dunnet Head 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Recent form has tailed off. Last season's chase form would give him claims if he's benefited from recent wind surgery..

12:50 Newcastle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FAT HARRY, a winner at Sedgefield in November before landing a similar event over C&D winner on his penultimate start, was narrowly denied registering a hat-trick by an in-form rival at Haydock most recently. Well clear of the rest in that race, a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to anchor the improving chaser at this stage of his development. His stablemate, top-weight Glen Road, gives the Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith team a good chance of domination here. Moon Phases and Powerofjet complete the shortlist.

Moon Phases is respected but lacks the experience of FAT HARRY, who can gain compensation for a near miss last time.

2	9 2nd (9) (66/1 +0%) Loulou Madrik	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Loulou Madrik 66/1, Took a step forward when fourth beaten 34l in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective over 2m4f and handles soft or good to soft; may do better once handicapping. 0-4 in points and soundly beaten on both hurdle starts; plenty to find with Daly Boy.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 +0%) Port Station	11 11/1(+0%)	(11) Port Station 11/1, Improved from debut when second beaten 9 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time; effective over 2m4f and handles soft or good ground; looks to be improving. Placed on both hurdle starts, albeit without threatening the winner; each-way claims.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +25%) Chemoulin	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Chemoulin 12/1, Green and made mistakes but ran well for a long way on debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen; effective over 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft; debut form looks solid and could have outside claims if improving. Showed ability on debut in a warm little race at Market Rasen and he's not discounted.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/3 +17%) Daly Boy	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(6) Daly Boy 10/3, Very promising debut when second beaten 13l in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m and handles good to soft; bumper form has worked out well and should progress. Placed on all three starts, most recently hurdle debut at Sedgefield, and high on the list.
6th	16 6th (16) (100/1 +0%) Tantivy Vavoom	100 100/1(+0%)	(16) Tantivy Vavoom 100/1, Green and made mistakes on a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time; off a short break; 3m point winner but has plenty to prove under rules. Won a point on first outing but pulled up next time and tailed off at 50-1 on hurdle debut.
7th	15 7th (15) (20/1 +20%) Shinealight	20 20/1(+20%)	(15) Shinealight 20/1, Not given a hard time but finished well on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time; effective over 2 1/2m and handles soft ground; could improve if ridden more positively. Point winner; fairly encouraging 5th on h'dle debut but others have more compelling claims.
8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 +56%) Workhardplayhard	11 11/1(+56%)	(13) Workhardplayhard 11/1, Outpaced but suited by a step up in trip when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a novice hurdle here last time; trainer in form; effective from 2 1/2–2 3/4m and handles soft ground; point winner who must prove ability remains after a long layoff. Looked promising in 2023; missed all of 2024 and 2025; one to watch in the betting.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +0%) Mr Ramoon	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Mr Ramoon 50/1, Showed small improvement when fourth beaten 14l in a maiden point at Lingstown last time; back from a long layoff; effective over 3m in points; best watched on rules debut. Ran three times in Irish maiden points early last year and was unable to get competitive.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 +67%) Au Plaisir	11 11/1(+67%)	(1) Au Plaisir 11/1, Below form on stable debut when down the field in a bumper at Wetherby last time; effective at 2m; showed promise in Irish bumpers but needs more to feature over hurdles. Promise in bumpers in Ireland; lesser performance on hurdle debut but could build on it.
11th	14 11th (14) (66/1 +0%) Yorkshire Man Sam	66 66/1(+0%)	(14) Yorkshire Man Sam 66/1, Green and made mistakes when needing the run on hurdle debut, comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Kelso last time; showed promise in bumpers but must prove ability remains after a layoff. Promise in bumpers in autumn 2022 but tailed off over hurdles last month on sole run since.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (6/1 +14%) Bathara	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Bathara 6/1, Ran to form when second beaten 11l in a bumper at Ascot latest, unable to reel in a runaway leader; off a short break; effective at 2m on good ground; consistent in bumpers and can figure on hurdle debut. Bumper winner who brings potential to this first hurdle start; player.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (15/8 -7%) Timefortom	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(12) Timefortom 15/8, Ran to form when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last time; effective over 2m5f and handles soft and good ground; debut form has worked out well, more to come, and looks the one to beat.

13:25 Newcastle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

DALY BOY bumped into a useful prospect when filling second place on his hurdling bow at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. With the benefit of that experience, the son of Kamsin could be hard to beat here. That said, Lewisham Grove has been knocking on the door of late and should not be discounted, while similar comments apply to Timefortom. Any market support for Bathara would have to be noted.

Point winner TIMEFORTOM has finished runner-up on both hurdle starts and is selected to get off the mark under rules this afternoon.

1	12 1st (12) (7/1 +30%) Uptown Harry	7 7/1(+30%)	(12) Uptown Harry 7/1, Ran to form and wanted an even stiffer test when beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 3m and handles cut, saving his best for Carlisle. This now looks his level. 12yo; best finish for some time when going close at Musselburgh; runs off 7lb higher here.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/1 +17%) Shadow Chaser	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Shadow Chaser 10/1, Ran to form but did too much too soon when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Wears blinkers for the first time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m but can be unreliable. Below par over hurdles on last 2 runs but this point winner may benefit from going chasing.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 +25%) Court At Slip	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Court At Slip 15/2, Raced lazily and made mistakes when 20l third in a handicap chase at Kelso last time. Trainer is in form. Effective at 3m and acts on soft or good ground. Not quite at his best since a layoff but the handicapper has eased him. Inconsistent last year but Newcastle form-figures read 14121; could have a part to play.
4	11 4th (11) (3/1 +25%) Jamesieconn	3 3/1(+25%)	(11) Jamesieconn 3/1, Ran to form when upped in trip, finishing second and beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Effective from 3m to 3m2f and acts on soft or good ground. Showing improved consistency and unexposed for this yard. Looks to hold strong claims. 12l second on stable debut when soft ground perhaps wasn't ideal; could improve upon that.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +20%) Sunset Hill	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Sunset Hill 16/1, Keen when upped in trip and may not have stayed, comfortably held in a handicap chase at Aintree last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground. Consistent but appears to have reached her level. Running respectably over fences at end of last year and not ruled out back down in grade.
6th	10 6th (10) (7/1 +0%) Swallows Song	7 7/1(+0%)	(10) Swallows Song 7/1, Had every chance and ran to current form when fourth, beaten 7l, in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time. Blinkers go on for the first time. Effective around 3m and acts on soft or good ground. A maiden but in fair form. Musselburgh fourth can be upgraded; could build on that run now going back left-handed.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -10%) Mighty Fleur	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Mighty Fleur 11/1, Made her move too soon and likely found the ground too testing when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective around 2 1/2m and handles good ground. In form until that run and may offer more over fences with hurdles form working out very well. In a competitive race for chase debut but her two half-siblings both improved for fences.
8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 +0%) Walking On A Dream	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Walking On A Dream 4/1, Improved for his debut experience when up in trip, beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Hexham last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts with cut. Highly tried over hurdles, progressive over fences, and latest form has been franked. Clear second behind a highly progressive winner at Hexham on second chase start.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 -13%) Great Notions	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Great Notions 9/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kelso last time. Effective from 3m to 3m1f and handles soft or good ground. Generally consistent under rules until that latest effort. Form dipped at Kelso 17 days ago but creditable runs in November in first two handicaps.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 +31%) Chemical Warfare	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Chemical Warfare 11/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap chase at Lingfield most recently. Effective over 3m+, prefers a sound surface. Out of form but now back below his last winning mark and could build on that return at a venue he likes. A return to form is needed but he's well treated and his southern trainer does well here.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (11/1 +0%) Shadows In The Sky	11 11/1(+0%)	(6) Shadows In The Sky 11/1, Outpaced and a bit below form on ground softer than ideal when third, beaten 36l, in a handicap chase at Fakenham last time. Likes to race prominently, effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, and best on good ground. Generally consistent but on a stiff mark. Mixed form this season but Newmarket yard is 3-6 here; capable of a big run.

14:00 Newcastle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

WALKING ON A DREAM improved on his seasonal return when filling second place over 2m4f at Hexham a month ago. With the prospect of further improvement likely now stepped up in trip, he could prove hard to beat in this company. Mighty Fleur should not be underestimated on her chasing bow, while Court At Slip and Jamesieconn are others with claims.

The forecast better ground may well be a boost for JAMESIECONN (nap) on his second yard start. He's the pick ahead of Mighty Fleur.

Effective at 2½m and handles good to soft and good ground. In moderate form off lowly marks. Has reached the frame in two of his four handicaps and he still has potential; in the mix.

Ran to form but unable to wear down the leader when third, beaten 2½l off 92 last time, and is 1lb higher here. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground.

Effective at 2½m and suited by decent ground. Inconsistent, but drop back in trip may help. 1-15 over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and she made a low-key start for new yard last month.

5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -54%) Sugar Road	10 10/1(-54%)	(3) Sugar Road 10/1, Improved on his final qualifying run but was comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m and handles good to soft ground. Needs more now handicapping, stamina to prove. 0-10 under both codes but he's a possible improver on handicap hurdle debut; watch market.

Off a short break; effective at 2m3f and handles good to soft ground. More of a handicap type. Unexposed 8yo but she's struggled last twice and needs a transformation back up in trip.
8th	10 8th (10) (12/1 +40%) Cap Ricochet	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Cap Ricochet 12/1, Up in trip last time and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby.

Effective from 2?m to 3m and handles good to soft and good ground. Down to an attractive mark and could revive at a favoured venue. Needs to get back on track but he's on a dangerous mark and is 3-3 over C&D.
9	9 \|U\| (9) (40/1 -21%) De Deli Counter	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) De Deli Counter 40/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time. Wears a visor for the first time and returns after a short break. Yet to show any worthwhile form. Still early days but he needs plenty of progress with visor added on handicap debut..
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -100%) Lady Phoebe	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Lady Phoebe 40/1, Outpaced but improved on her final qualifying run when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m. Flat winner who needs more to figure over hurdles. Just 1-21 on the Flat and she needs improvement on handicap hurdle debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (16/1 +20%) Aquitaine Boy	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Aquitaine Boy 16/1, Won this race last year but unseated in a handicap hurdle here latest. Effective over 2m to 2½m and handles good to soft and good ground. Generally consistent performer and the handicapper has relented.

12th	15 12th (15) (8/1 -23%) Junkyard Dog	8 8/1(-23%)	(15) Junkyard Dog 8/1, Outpaced and not knocked about once his chance was gone when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last time.

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

DROP KICK has made the frame on both starts since winning at Carlisle in November and, given the lack of depth in this contest, it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways on this occasion. Sugar Road has not shown much over hurdles yet, but may find significant improvement now switched to handicap company. Others to consider are Cher Monsieur and Leader Wing.

It might be worth taking a chance with LUMINARIES, who is 3-3 over C&D and is well handicapped if he can revive back in trip.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 -50%) Always A Reason	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Always A Reason 6/1, Scored by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell on his penultimate start. Ran to form off a revised mark when second beaten 3/4l off 93 last time and is 3lb higher here. Effective from 2 1/2m to 2 3/4m and may have a bit more to offer now he's been switched to fences. Ended 2025 in good form over hurdles and is open to more progress on this chasing debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 +0%) Empty Nest	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Empty Nest 7/1, No show from off the pace when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Off a short break. Effective at 2m4f on a sound surface and now back down to his last winning mark. Dual chase winner last season (once over C&D); might be back at concert pitch today.

4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +11%) The Jad Factor	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) The Jad Factor 8/1, Won this last year. Raced lazily but got going late to run to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Best around 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Needs to be sharper but respected again. Not always one to rely upon but has won his last two; headgear switched.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +36%) Emotional Roller	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(8) Emotional Roller 9/2, Taken on up front and tired late when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. In good form prior. Blinkers on for the first time. Trainer in form. Effective at 3m+ and acts on soft and good ground. Generally in good form.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Solid chance judged on latest effort. Ran well behind To Cool Forshrule on seasonal debut and not yet fully exposed over fences.

Effective at 2m but yet to convince with stamina for further. Out of form. Kept on for third at Hexham last spring but has poor completion record over fences.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (28/1 +58%) Goodoldbill	28 28/1(+58%)	(10) Goodoldbill 28/1, Had every chance but was below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest. Effective at 3m but currently out of form. Won here in 2023 but it's a good while since he showed any worthwhile form.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (40/1 +20%) Gandhi Maker	40 40/1(+20%)	(5) Gandhi Maker 40/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle latest. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on any going. Out of form. Shaped quite well over hurdles on stable debut and reverts to chasing on tempting mark.

15:10 Newcastle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

THE JAD FACTOR signed off last season with a commanding win at Kelso before springing a surprise to score on his return at Wetherby last month. A 5lb rise looks a little harsh given the winning margin but he's still low-mileage for a 10-year-old and the introduction of a visor could eke out a bit more. Tommy Combats was defeated by the reopposing Too Cool Forshrule at Ayr in November but that was his seasonal return and progress is anticipated. Chasing debutant Always A Reason is worth a second look too.

This might go to EMOTIONAL ROLLER, who will presumably be ridden very positively over this shorter trip in first-time blinkers.

1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -7%) Ronnie Russet	8 8/1(-7%)	(2) Ronnie Russet 8/1, Rallied gamely and improved for debut experience under a positive ride when winning a bumper here by 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m on good to soft, though will need a bit more to defy a penalty. Sizeable step forward to win over C&D last month on second start; respected under penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 +40%) Cowboy Casanova	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(4) Cowboy Casanova 9/2, Promising effort when third beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden point at Knockmullen House on debut. Returns from a short break and comes from a yard that can have runners ready first time. Third on sole point start; new trainer has an excellent record in bumpers this season.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/3 -33%) Diamond White	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(13) Diamond White 10/3, Mildly promising debut, possibly challenged too early and tired late when third beaten 4l in a bumper at Catterick. Effective over 2m and with point form franked in bumpers, she should improve for that initial experience. Runner-up in a point and third in Catterick bumper; she's a leading contender.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 +44%) Finbarr	14 14/1(+44%)	(6) Finbarr 14/1, Yeats gelding; half-brother to Lunar Chief, fair at 23f; tough enough task on debut. Half-brother to Lunar Chief and Sagonige, who made winning debuts in bumpers for this yard.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +43%) Kilaro	2 2/1(+43%)	(1) Kilaro 2/1, Quickened clear cosily when winning a bumper at Musselburgh by 4l last time. Trainer in form and effective over 2m on good to soft. Debut winner who likely has more to offer and could defy a penalty. Point winner who scored easily on bumper debut at Musselburgh; key player under penalty.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 +39%) Master Jack	40 40/1(+39%)	(9) Master Jack 40/1, £10,000 Jack Hobbs gelding; half-brother to Buckle Street, very useful at 24f; dam very useful from 14f to 16f but yard not known for debut winners. Half-brother to two winning jumpers but he may be one for further down the line.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 +0%) Mhordart	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) Mhordart 100/1, Outpaced on modest debut when well beaten in a bumper here on only start. Plenty to find. Debut sixth over C&D gives him something to build on but he was behind two of these.
8th	16 8th (16) (20/1 -25%) Royal Maggs	20 20/1(-25%)	(16) Royal Maggs 20/1, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten a nose in a point at Witton Castle last time. Returning from a long layoff, the point winner could get involved for her local yard. Two wins in the pointing sphere; could give a good account on rules debut.
9th	14 9th (14) (100/1 +0%) Khaleesi Queen	100 100/1(+0%)	(14) Khaleesi Queen 100/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden bumper at Carlisle on only start. Returns from a short break and needs major improvement. Tailed off at 50-1 on debut at Carlisle in November.
10th	3 10th (3) (28/1 -12%) Caspada	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Caspada 28/1, Outpaced and modest debut when fourth beaten 8l in a bumper at Sedgefield first time out. The stiffer track could suit and he may improve. Sedgefield debut 4th gives him something to build on and he might have an each-way shout.
11th	12 11th (12) (7/2 +56%) Valtteri Its James	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(12) Valtteri Its James 7/2, Improved when winning a maiden point at Damma House by 8l last time. Point winner who joins a top yard capable of having them ready first time. Sold for £80,000 after Irish point win on third start; respected stable for rules career.
12th	15 12th (15) (100/1 +0%) Maggi Breeze	100 100/1(+0%)	(15) Maggi Breeze 100/1, Well beaten in a maiden bumper at Uttoxeter on only start. Has all to do. Half-sister to 2 winners but showed no immediate promise when tailed off at 80-1 on debut.
13th	7 13th (7) (25/1 -39%) Highland Laddie	25 25/1(-39%)	(7) Highland Laddie 25/1, 30,000 euros Highland Reel gelding. Half brother to Irish hurdles winner but may just need this initial experience. Trainer 6-22 (27%) in turf bumpers here and he's therefore worth a second look on debut.
14th	5 14th (5) (66/1 +0%) Credit Union	66 66/1(+0%)	(5) Credit Union 66/1, Outpaced and modest debut when well beaten in a bumper here on only start. Needs to show plenty more. Well beaten behind Ronnie Russet when 22-1 for last month's debut over C&D (good to soft).
15th	8 15th (8) (20/1 -100%) Last Man Standing	20 20/1(-100%)	(8) Last Man Standing 20/1, Travelled well but out-battled late when third beaten 5l in a bumper here last time. Effective over 2m on good to soft and a threat if building on that effort. Third over C&D last month behind Ronnie Russet (who is now penalised); each-way contender.

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

Point winner KILARO won in fine style on his debut under Rules and amateur Paddy Barlow clearly gets on well with him. It's often tough to shoulder a penalty in these types of event but the manner in which he won would suggest there is plenty more under the bonnet. There will be plenty of challengers, though, namely Diamond White, who made an encouraging start at Catterick last month. Lucinda Russell landed the corresponding event 12 months ago, so herself and Michael Scudamore's representative Valtteri Its James must be respected. Ronnie Russet and Caspada are others to consider.

The newcomer FINBARR hails from a family that has made a habit of kicking off careers with success in bumpers.

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.
