1	13 1st (13) (20/1 +60%) Luminaries		20 20/1(+60%)																															(13) Luminaries 20/1, Has failed to build on promise of stable debut at Kelso in October, again down the field at Musselburgh last month. Races from 6 lb out of the handicap. Difficult to recommend on recent evidence. Showed a bit more in his latest handicap but was still beaten 15l; 6lb wrong.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +70%) Leader Wing		10 10/1(+70%)																															(8) Leader Wing 10/1, Fair bumper winner for Tom Weston but yet to match that form in this sphere, continuing to underachieve despite being tried in various headgear (blinkers retained on this occasion). Best to look elsewhere. Won a bumper but very opposable on hurdling exploits, in handicaps on last three starts.
3	9 3rd (9) (14/1 +50%) Dartie Bay		14 14/1(+50%)																															(9) Dartie Bay 14/1, Has offered little in bumpers/novice hurdles. Difficult to fancy on handicap hurdle debut. Handicaps should now offer better opportunities; worth a market check.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -33%) On The Go		8 8/1(-33%)																															(4) On The Go 8/1, Hasn't progressed from minor promise shown on hurdles debut, although has likely been campaigned with handicaps in mind. One to note in the betting now stepping up in trip on handicap debut. This southern raider could raise his game over this longer trip now handicapping.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +45%) Lathan		6 6/1(+45%)																															(1) Lathan 6/1, Won a modest C&D maiden in November and would have bettered that form (looked set for second) but for falling 2 out at Wetherby just 24 hours later. Seemed amiss when pulled up on handicap debut but has an each-way squeak if back on song. Has only won a match but soft ground perhaps an issue last time; not yet exposed.
6th	10 6th (10) (7/1 -27%) Lady's Present		7 7/1(-27%)																															(10) Lady's Present 7/1, Shaped better than the beaten distance when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f) in January, made a fast-forward move on final circuit and paid the price for those efforts late on. Stamina stretched on more testing ground over 3 miles last time and looks interesting back down in trip. Only 5l away over 2m3f three runs back and perhaps a non-stayer over 3m since then.
7th	12 7th (12) (40/1 -21%) Just Winging It		40 40/1(-21%)																															(12) Just Winging It 40/1, Well-held in a bumper and three qualifying runs. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap on his first start in handicap company. Best to look elsewhere. Goes handicapping off a basement mark but it looks warranted.
2	2 |F| (2) (11/4 -22%) Looking Splendid		2.75 11/4(-22%)																															(2) Looking Splendid 11/4, Has shown enough in handicap runs to suggest he is fairly handicapped off this mark, continuing in good heart latest when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago, having been given plenty of ground to make up. One for the shortlist. Best runs at Musselburgh but good claims otherwise on the back of a placed effort.
5	5 |PU| (5) (10/1 +0%) Devon Skies		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Devon Skies 10/1, Showed some respectable form in maidens but disappointed on final start in novice company and regressed on first run in a handicap when pulled up at Sedgefield (19.9f) last month. Needs to bounce back. Has finished no closer than 10l despite some placed efforts; poor last time.
7	7 |PU| (7) (12/1 -118%) Silverbridge		12 12/1(-118%)																															(7) Silverbridge 12/1, Yet to match the form of handicap debut at Bangor in April (third of 10) and has failed to beat a rival on his last two starts (wore cheekpieces), although his latest effort did come on the back of an 8-month absence. Blinkers on first-time and he's fairly treated if they can spark a revival. Poor of late but now tries blinkers; his Bangor third off 9lb higher is not forgotten.
6	6 |PU| (6) (16/1 -33%) Rock N Roll Champ		16 16/1(-33%)																															(6) Rock N Roll Champ 16/1, Maiden in Irish points and showed limited ability on final run in novice company. Step up in trip can only help and one to monitor in the betting on handicap debut/reappearance. A little closer in latest novice hurdle but set a steady pace and was probably flattered.
11	11 |PU| (11) (40/1 -21%) Goodoldbill		40 40/1(-21%)																															(11) Goodoldbill 40/1, Struggled over hurdles but got off the mark over fences at this venue in November in 2023. Not in same form since, pulling up when last seen in May 2024. Returns to smaller obstacles for reappearance. Others have stronger claims. Both wins have been over fences; in modest form when last seen and 0-6 as a hurdler.

14:25 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

This doesn't look the deepest race of it's type and a tentative vote goes to LOOKING SPLENDID. He was far from disgraced when third over 2m4f at Musselburgh last month and it would be no surprise if he were up to the task racing off an unchanged mark. On The Go hasn't cut much ice in his three qualifying runs but better can be expected now pitched into handicap company for the first time. Lathan is another for the shortlist, although his inconsistency is a concern.

LADY'S PRESENT is fairly lightly raced for her age and has proven that she can be competitive from a lowly handicap mark. She won't need to improve to win this modest event and makes appeal with Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle for the first time. Looking Splendid is a standout danger having posted a couple of solid efforts at Musselburgh this winter, while Silverbridge is well-treated if first-time blinkers can awaken him from his recent slumber.

A chance is taken on LADY'S PRESENT who hasn't been getting home over longer trips since her close fourth at Catterick in December.

1	6 1st (6) (7/2 -17%) Jingle Jangle Jet		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(6) Jingle Jangle Jet 7/2, Improved for the step into handicap company, runner-up to a more progressive one on penultimate start at Market Rasen before finishing second at the same venue last month. chasing home an enterprisingly ridden winner. Leading claims. Runner-up in both his races since the cheekpieces were fitted; mark untouched.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/5 +60%) Passengerontheship		1.2 6/5(+60%)																															(7) Passengerontheship 6/5, Placed in an Irish point and left behind novice form when making promising reappearance in January, progressing on next start when runner-up to a rejuvenated and well-treated sort at Southwell (20.4f) two weeks ago. Merits serious consideration in this company. Winner appeared rejuvenated after wind surgery when this 6yo was runner-up at Southwell.
3	4 3rd (4) (100/1 -733%) Cage Rattler		100 100/1(-733%)																															(4) Cage Rattler 100/1, Modest 7f Flat winner who offered little in novice/maiden hurdles and fared little better when last of 9 on the Flat 31 days ago. Tackles longer trip on handicap hurdle debut but others have stronger claims. Modest Flat performer; handicap debut over hurdles but plenty of risks attached.
4	13 4th (13) (80/1 -60%) Windsor Wife		80 80/1(-60%)																															(13) Windsor Wife 80/1, Dead-heated for first on her sole start in Irish points but has shaped with no encouragement in 5 starts over hurdles. Tough ask from long way out of the weights. Unlikely to raise her profile here from so far out of the weights.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 -167%) Breadalbane Lass		12 12/1(-167%)																															(8) Breadalbane Lass 12/1, Little promise in maiden/novice hurdles but has shown more in handicaps, not unsupported when running up to her best in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second of 7 at Carlisle two weeks ago, shaping as though worth a go at this longer trip. Open to improvement with tongue-tie now added. Second at Carlisle and bred to appreciate this longer distance.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -69%) Killybegs Jet Lady		11 11/1(-69%)																															(5) Killybegs Jet Lady 11/1, Irish Point winner bettered previous exploits in this sphere when third in a 13-runner Kelso novice (21f, good) but could only match that form when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter when last seen in June. Low-mileage and could improve if ready to roll after an 8-month break. Beaten about 10l in her last two races (2m5f novice/2m7f handicap).
7th	2 7th (2) (3/1 +54%) The Dark Edge		3 3/1(+54%)																															(2) The Dark Edge 3/1, Improved further after 5 months off when landing a 9-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) in September and has held form well since, hitting the frame on three occasions, most recent fourth of 15 at Taunton (23.9f). Back down trip on return from short break and not discounted. Might be high in the weights but still has a solid chance against these.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -12%) Love That		28 28/1(-12%)																															(3) Love That 28/1, Second in a Kelso novice (20.9f) in December but failed to back that up with two disappointing performances in handicaps. Others preferred. Her second in a Kelso novice was remote and finished tailed off in subsequent handicaps.
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 -100%) Away She Goes		100 100/1(-100%)																															(11) Away She Goes 100/1, Failed to make an impact in 2 bumpers/3 starts over hurdles for Brian Ellison last year and has struggled since joining current connections. Hard to fancy. No real worthwhile form for her former yard and things aren't picking up for this one.
10th	9 10th (9) (33/1 -18%) Fancy Nancy Pants		33 33/1(-18%)																															(9) Fancy Nancy Pants 33/1, Poor novice hurdler may have been flattered by finishing position when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Others have stronger form claims. Lightly raced and never nearer than at the finish last time at Carlisle (2m3f).

14:55 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PASSENGERONTHESHIP shaped with plenty of promise when finishing runner-up over this trip at Southwell last time out and, upped 3lb since, he could prove tough to stop with a repeat of that effort. Jingle Jangle Jet arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts and another prominent showing looks likely, while the relatively unexposed The Dark Edge looks the pick of the remainder.

PASSENGERONTHESHIP travelled well when chasing home a rejuvenated rival last month and, still on a fair handicap mark, she's taken to go one better on this occasion. Jingle Jangle Jet has improved for the switch to handicap company and should be in the mix once again, while Breadalbane Lass is interesting now stepped up in distance.

The Dark Edge should go well but he's high in the weights and preference is for KILLYBEGS JET LADY who seems mildly progressive.

1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +31%) Flash Du Pistolet		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(4) Flash Du Pistolet 9/2, Ex-pointer who is winless under Rules but was well backed and shaped as if still in good form when third at this track (16.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, finishing tired. More needed to get his head in front but there's been signs of a revival in yard form of late. Jumping was untidy when 10l off Diamond Mix here 18 days ago.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -10%) Top Of The Bay		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Top Of The Bay 11/1, First piece of worthwhile form when third in handicap chase at Southwell last April, despite none too fluent. Disappointed back over hurdles at that venue the following month and offered nothing back chasing fitted in cheekpieces when last seen in June. Has since moved yards. First run for a new yard and wouldn't be far away if repeating his third last April.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 +46%) Hawkseye View		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(3) Hawkseye View 7/2, Point winner who showed improved form on third start in handicap chases when runner-up over C&D in November. Let down by his jumping on both subsequent outings (unseated at Wetherby last month) and that tempers enthusiasm somewhat here. Prone to mistakes but would be competitive off this mark with a clear round.
4	9 4th (9) (11/4 +73%) Cave Hill		2.75 11/4(+73%)																															(9) Cave Hill 11/4, Breakthrough winner at this venue in December and backed it up when fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Ayr next time. Wasn't disgraced in the end but went through the race in pretty laboured fashion at latter track recently and now attentions are switched to fences. Yard is amongst the winners. Won over hurdles here in Dec and back on favoured good ground for this chase debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -100%) Tanking Along		18 18/1(-100%)																															(6) Tanking Along 18/1, Showed ability both starts over hurdles this season but was on the retreat when coming down on handicap/chase debut at Catterick (19.2f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago (remained down for some time). Should prove at least as competent in this sphere but probably best watched for now. Ran well for a long way before falling on last month's chase debut at Catterick.
6th	10 6th (10) (6/1 +57%) Great Ballinboris		6 6/1(+57%)																															(10) Great Ballinboris 6/1, Ran one of his better races in first-time blinkers/tongue strap but typically didn't finish with purpose after 3 months off when third of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (20.5f, good) 12 days ago. Handicapper drops him another 1 lb but others more appealing. Front-running third over this far at Doncaster (good) but may need more here.
11	11 |F| (11) (11/2 +61%) Toombridge		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(11) Toombridge 11/2, Still a maiden but got back on track after 9 weeks off in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 15 in handicap at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Has struggled for consistency however, so the percentage call is to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Cave Hill. Fourth at Carlisle (soft) where 3m appeared to stretch him; considered.

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

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

LOW MILEAGE was only beaten a neck into second over 2m4f at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going one better here. Ceolwulf also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Diamond Mix and Flash Du Pistolet should not be discounted.

DIAMOND MIX proved that all can't have been well on his chasing debut when finding just one way ahead of its mark too good at this track last month and, with further progress over fences on the cards, he gets the nod to go one better. Ceolwulf hasn't stood much racing of late but, provided there's no bounce factor from his recent Leicester second, he looks an obvious threat. Low Mileage and Cave Hill round off the shortlist.

This is wide open. CEOLWULF bumped into one on last month's belated return to action and hopefully he will avoid the 'bounce'.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +50%) Rewired		7 7/1(+50%)																															(4) Rewired 7/1, Won 2m handicaps at Doncaster and Taunton last winter but yet to fire for current yard and, though now down in class and 13 lb below his last winning mark, others make more appeal. Won off 13lb higher just over a year ago but has been finding it tough going of late.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +9%) The Grafter		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(3) The Grafter 5/2, Low-mileage sort who has yet to pick up a race but he's been knocking on the door of late, finding just one too good on each of his last 3 starts. Clearly not short of ability but, equally, his attitude is questionable (often seems somewhat reluctant when push comes to shove), so there are doubts. Has finished runner-up in all three handicaps, the latest at Bangor after a wind operation.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +60%) Galahad Threepwood		10 10/1(+60%)																															(7) Galahad Threepwood 10/1, With fitness on his side from the Flat, shaped well on hurdles debut for this yard when third in an 11-runner C&D handicap in January. Subsequent fourth over 2½m back here the following month was no more than respectable, though, and he's evidently not as good as he once was. 0-10 under both codes since leaving Ben Pauling; something to prove after last time.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 -25%) Fostered Phil		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(8) Fostered Phil 15/2, His appearances have been sporadic and his mileage is very low for a horse of his age. However, yet to run a bad race and proved that ability remains intact following 21 months off when third of 15 at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft). Live each-way chance off the same mark here. Had a wind op during a long absence before returning with a 7l third at Musselburgh.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/2 -27%) Bathgate		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(2) Bathgate 7/2, Beaten a fair way back from a break at Kelso in October but hasn't looked back since, winning twice during a consistent string of efforts in handicaps at around 2m. Latest second off 2 lb lower at Catterick was solid and this 5-y-o is likely to be in the thick of things once again. It was another good run behind one in form at Catterick three weeks ago.
5	5 |F| (5) (10/3 +39%) Travis Wheatley		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(5) Travis Wheatley 10/3, Point winner last spring and shaped encouragingly switched to Rules when second a bumper here in October. Has failed to threaten in novice events since switched to hurdles but mark for this handicap bow looks fair and he's one to note in the betting. Has come up against some useful horses in novices and now goes handicapping.
6	6 |PU| (6) (25/1 -150%) Rory The Cat		25 25/1(-150%)																															(6) Rory The Cat 25/1, Dual winner of juvenile hurdles at Musselburgh last winter and added to his tally on the Flat there in August. Well held both starts so far this season but he's slipped to an attractive mark as a consequence and yard in good form, so there are reasons to be optimistic. Capable Flat stayer but last month's return to hurdling was forgettable.

16:00 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

The Grafter has been knocking hard on the door of late and has to be of interest once again but marginal preference is for TRAVIS WHEATLEY. The five-year-old has shown promise in novice company this season and an opening mark of 105 should be workable on his handicap bow. Others who make the shortlist are Bathgate, Fostered Phil and Russian Virtue.

The vote goes to BATHGATE, who has been at the top of his game of late and appears to still be on a competitive mark judged on his latest effort at Catterick. Rory The Cat has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be a big threat if able to get back on track. The lightly-raced veteran Fostered Phil commands respect on the back of an encouraging comeback run at Musselburgh, while handicap debutants Old But Gold and Travis Wheatley both need a second look in the betting.

Travis Wheatley and Old But Gold are interesting, while RUSSIAN VIRTUE, Bathgate and The Grafter are all running well.

Relatively unexposed over staying trips and he found plenty to win over 3m1f latest.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +93%) Heroique De Maulde		2 2/1(+93%)																															(6) Heroique De Maulde 2/1, Scored at Doncaster in February 2023 for James Ewart but no promise in 3 outings for current trainer this season after a long absence. Both British wins at 2m4f; well below best since absence but down weights and in grade.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +33%) Similar Story		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(5) Similar Story 10/3, Easy winner of an Irish point and made winning chasing debut at Kelso in October. Mixed record since, though arrives here on the back of a creditable third at Carlisle 4 weeks ago. Return to this longer trip a likely plus. First 2m7f run since Kelso win in October; close up over 2m5f latest; solid chance.
4	4 |PU| (4) (9/2 +18%) Harjo		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(4) Harjo 9/2, Returned to form from out of the blue when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good to soft) 38 days ago, all out. Not an obvious type to follow up. Deep in the doldrums for most of 2024; popped up back over 3m at Doncaster latest.
7	7 |PU| (7) (13/2 +7%) Six One Nine		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(7) Six One Nine 13/2, Enhanced his strike rate over fences here last season, winning 3 times. Yet to hit top form this term but is on a winning mark at least and this trip could be what he wants nowadays. Three wins at 2m/2m4f here last winter; non-stayer beyond latter trip earlier in career.

16:30 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Having HARJO regained the winning thread with a determined success over slightly further at Doncaster last time out, the eight-year-old looks more than capable of following up off 3lb higher for his in-form trainer. A winner of two of his last three starts, The Paddy Pie is a key player, along with Court At Slip, who wasn't beaten far over 3m6f at Catterick in January and scored over C&D on his penultimate outing.

SIX ONE NINE could be worth chancing off a winning mark over a trip which may suit him nowadays. Similar Story was back to form at Carlisle last time so is feared, while Court At Slip returns from an absence off a handy mark so needs keeping an eye on.

Harjo was back to form at Doncaster but THE PADDY PIE's stout staying effort at Catterick opens some new doors for him.

17:00 Newcastle NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

GEORDIE MACKEM improved from his first to second start when a promising second over C&D last time out, and he sets the standard on the back of that effort. Point-to-point winner Tiptoptim didn't shaped with encouragement when third over further at Plumpton on debut and he should be thereabouts, along with Big Wigg and Luckie Devil, who look to be the pick of the newcomers.

TIPTOPTIM gets the nod on the back of his promising third at Plumpton in December. Geordie Mackem was second over C&D last time and should go well again, while Daly Boy and Luckie Devil are interesting newcomers.

Lambourn-based Jamie Snowden's only runner on the card is TIPTOPTIM who has serious claims on the strength of his Plumpton run.
