Rock Armour

2/1(+27%)
(1) Rock Armour 2/1, Off the mark at this C&D in February and, after just 6 days off, would have benefited from stronger gallop when 2 lengths third of 6 to Susiesparkle in handicap (evens) here 2 weeks ago. Enters calculations with cheekpieces back on.

We Still Believe

22/1(-38%)
(5) We Still Believe 22/1, C&D winner whose latest success came at Ayr last summer. After 6 months off, probably needed the run when 11 lengths eleventh of 12 to Rock Armour in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Has work to do from current mark, though.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Rock Armour and SUSIESPARKLE are honours even after a couple of recent C&D encounters. The latter came out on top when they clashed a fortnight ago and has a decent chance of upholding the form, with Mohammed Tabti taking over from a 3lb claimer in the saddle and effectively reducing the handicapper's attentions for now. The still low-mileage Desiderata and the feasibly-treated It's A Love Thing are others to consider.

SUSIESPARKLE resumed winning ways at this C&D a fortnight ago and she could be capable of following up with more still to offer on all-weather. She is taken to see off the challenge of Sandret, who had excuses on his latest outing and had been in good form prior to that, with Rock Armour also in the mix.

In a competitive little race, maybe DESIDERATA can build on his Wolverhampton success from two starts back, having had excuses since.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Concert Boy is shortlisted based on his reliability since the turn of the year, while Drakeholes is a C&D specialist who cannot be ruled out. However, this could be a good time to catch fellow track-and-trip winner SIR MAXI, who runs with first-time blinkers added and has his chance boosted by the very capable Warren Fentiman taking the ride and pitching in with his 7lb claim. The returning American Star has plummeted in the ratings and merits a betting check.

ODD SOCKS HAVANA is 4 lb better off with Pallas Lord for a narrow defeat over 1m here on Tuesday and that could be enough for the Rebecca Menzies-trained 7-y-o to get the better of the argument this time. Concert Boy is another with a good course record and looks best of the rest.

This looks another fair opportunity for the in-form CONCERT BOY, who has already won twice here this year. Sir Maxi is second pick.

18:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

NOBLE TESTIMONY improved from his debut to chase home a progressive type over a mile here and is the ready pick of those with experience. Still a work in progress, the son of Wooded will be maturing nicely and has a golden chance to get off the mark at the third time of asking. One More Bottle and Wyld Bill have shown little under either code of racing, so the attractively-bred newcomers Aurora Majesty and Symphony's Song can fight it out for the runner-up spot.

Having shown promise over C&D on debut, NOBLE TESTIMONY found only a more experienced rival (has won again since) too strong back here last time and he can build on those efforts to open his account. The biggest threat could come from the newcomers, with Aurora Majesty the pick for second ahead of Symphony's Song.

Two hard-to-weigh-up newcomers, but NOBLE TESTIMONY is the clear pick of those with form, setting a fair standard.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DEMBE went in by just under a length in a stronger event at Lingfield in January and is only 3lb higher for that triumph. Simon Pearce's seven-year-old is holding his form well and can make it four wins out of his last six starts. Quiet Resolve occupied the runner-up berth over C&D last month and should go close again, while Mr Mistoffelees is another to watch out for.

DEMBE did well under the circumstances when landing a Class 3 Lingfield handicap last time and a 3 lb nudge is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. He may have most to fear from Mr Mistoffelees, who has put in good shifts both starts in this sphere for present connections and he remains feasibly treated. The Cookstown Cafu and Quiet Resolve are others to consider.

All of these need considering, with a chance taken on ORBAAN. He needs to come back to form but he's a player on December's C&D third.

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LATIN FIVE returned to winning ways by a head in this grade over track and trip last month and a 2lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. The eight-year-old remains on a workable mark and could complete a double. Global Effort struck in a classified stakes at Wolverhampton and is an interesting contender now that he steps back into the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, eight-time course winner Pockley makes the most appeal.

Irish raider NO SPEED LIMIT is lurking on a dangerous mark and left the strong impression that he may soon be ready to cash in on the handicapper's mercy when third at Dundalk last month. It's best to draw a line through his subsequent display in a claimer at the same course last week and he shades preference ahead of Latin Five, who resumed winnings ways over C&D last time, and recent Wolverhampton scorer Global Effort.

This can see LATIN FIVE (nap) follow up a recent C&D win, which was gained on his reappearance and following a breathing operation.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A promising second on his first run for this stable at Wolverhampton last week, NORTHERN CRACKSMAN should be suited by dropping back in trip, having scored over C&D off 11lb lower in January. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of Falcon Nine, making his first start for the in-form Iain Jardine team, and Cloch Nua, who completed a hat-trick last month, including a couple of victories over track and trip.

The 9.5f trip appeared to stretch NORTHERN CRACKSMAN at Wolverhampton recently and he looks the way to go back down in trip off the same mark. Cloch Nua's winning run came to a halt at Southwell but he didn't help himself with a sluggish start and will be a threat if breaking more alertly this time. Falcon Nine also enters calculations.

A competitive race for the class and FALCON NINE appeals most on his debut for a new trainer.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Now that RAFT UP has regained the winning thread after a taking performance in a classified contest over C&D last week, Harriet Bethell's charge is likely to have more improvement forthcoming and he can bring up the double. The veteran Athollblair Boy may be winless since a victory off 15lb lower over track and trip a little over a year ago but he is a key player, as is Arlington, who has been runner-up on two of his last three starts.

RAFT UP took a step forward in a first-time hood with an emphatic C&D success last week and is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty with the headgear again fitted here. In-form C&D scorer Arlington appeals as the one to chase home Harriet Bethell's 4-y-o ahead of Midnightattheoasis and Athollblair Boy.

Cases to be made for most of these and perhaps ARLINGTON, a two-time C&D winner and runner-up last week, is the answer.

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.
