17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/2 +13%) Prince Achille	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(6) Prince Achille 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 17 days ago, shaping as if better for the run following 5 months off. Not entirely dismissed. May have needed his recent comeback here but will need to improve somewhat on that.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/1 -83%) We Still Believe	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) We Still Believe 11/1, 3-time winner on Flat last season (twice over C&D). Made frame on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles since the turn of the year and no surprise to see him give a good account returned to this sphere. Should be happy back on the AW minus the visor; fair claims of adding to his two C&D wins.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -65%) Very Classy	14 14/1(-65%)	(2) Very Classy 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event (50/1) at this course (8f) 71 days ago. Longer trip ought to suit on pedigree now handicapping but would need to see market support to make her of interest. Trainer 4-8 so far in 2024 but that's the only positive; would want to see good support.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +20%) Lochnaver	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Lochnaver 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 17/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Merits consideration back at this more suitable trip. Didn't have the race run to suit down to 1m here last Friday; should do much better.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/3 +52%) Isle Of Wolves	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(5) Isle Of Wolves 10/3, Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 17 days ago, no extra only late on. Should be thereabouts again for all losing run tempers enthusiasm. Not much other pace in here and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/2 +38%) Mass Consumption	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) Mass Consumption 5/2, Maiden who has got back on track equipped with a visor in recent weeks, good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 17 days ago, staying on to be nearest at the finish. Can make presence felt with mark steadily easing. Claims on latest third but is still to win and it's unlikely he'd want a tactical affair.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -118%) Bay Of Naples	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) Bay Of Naples 12/1, Ended long losing run at Leicester (10f, soft) in September and remained in form since, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 13/2) 48 days ago. Drop back in trip will hold no fears and one of the likelier players. Wants a good test over this shorter trip but should go well again if things fall right.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -17%) Great Colaci	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Great Colaci 14/1, Veteran, 9-time course winner. Latest win here in February. Seventh of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, meeting some trouble around 2f out and never dangerous. May find a few too good again. Well held behind four of these back into handicap company latest; others are stronger.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A chance can be taken on VERY CLASSY, who showed signs of promise across her three qualifying runs last year. The daughter of Muhaarar looks to have been found a suitable opportunity now pitched into handicaps, with the step up from a mile an added positive. Bay Of Naples appeals as a live candidate having posted a number of creditable efforts recently, while Lochnaver, who is back on a competitive mark, should not be underestimated either.

Having highlighted her turn may not be far away when runner-up over C&D on her penultimate start LOCHNAVER may not have been so well served by the drop back to 1m back here 7 days ago and operating from her last winning mark, she earns the vote. Mass Consumption has got back on track equipped with a visor of late and along with Isle of Wolves, heads up the dangers.

Preference is for WE STILL BELIEVE, who has Jason Hart (5-14 for the yard) up. Lochnaver is another with claims.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -20%) Westmorian	4 4/1(-20%)	(2) Westmorian 4/1, C&D winner who ran creditably when third of 8 in C&D handicap (11/4) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Remains below last winning mark and must enter calculations. Back to form when a close 3rd over C&D last month; that looks solid form; strong contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +40%) One More Dream	2 2/1(+40%)	(1) One More Dream 2/1, Confirmed return to form when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 5 days ago, cosily. Excellent claims under 5-lb penalty. Back in form since returned to Class 5 and won well over 7f here on Sunday; solid claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -38%) Dandys Derriere	9 9/1(-38%)	(5) Dandys Derriere 9/1, C&D winner who again ran creditably to hit the frame at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 32 days ago. Should remain competitive. In good order following a wind op and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +58%) Secret Road	5 5/1(+58%)	(7) Secret Road 5/1, C&D winner in November but was below form when seventh of 12 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 24 days ago. Player if bouncing back. C&D winner in November; some solid runs since but others bring more pressing claims.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/2 +0%) Blackjack	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Blackjack 9/2, C&D winner who scored at Chelmsford City in February and ran at least as well in defeat in 5-runner affair there (7f) 15 days ago. Should go well again. Been in good form since returning from a break; return to 6f no problem; one to consider.
6th	4 6th (4) (15/2 -25%) Athollblair Boy	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(4) Athollblair Boy 15/2, Veteran who followed up from last time in 6-runner handicap at this C&D (9/2) 15 days ago, driven out. Merits respect in hat-trick bid. Loves it here and thriving at present but upped in class and needs more in hat-trick bid.
7th	9 7th (9) (22/1 -120%) Global Humor	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Global Humor 22/1, C&D winner in February and shaped as if still in good form when third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Good efforts here the last twice but up in class today and may come up short.
8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -203%) Hailey Ya Mal	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Hailey Ya Mal 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held on handicap debut at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 32 days ago. Has work to do. Well-beaten 40-1 shot on last month's handicap debut (7f); too much to prove for now.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Athollblair Boy completed a C&D double when winning here last month and he merits respect from a 3lb raised mark, but preference is for ONE MORE DREAM. John and Sean Quinn's charge was, ultimately, a comfortable victor over 7f on Sunday having been short of room approaching the two-furlong marker. The drop in trip is expected to pose no problem and, with the promising Gianluca Sanna negating the 5lb penalty incurred for that success, he can repeat the dose. Others to note include Dandys Derriere and Westmorian.

ONE MORE DREAM resumed winning ways in cosy fashion here last week and is selected to follow up under a penalty. Secret Road won't be far away if bouncing back from a lesser effort, while Blackjack arrives in top form and must be feared, also.

Plenty of possibles but the form of WESTMORIAN's latest C&D third looks strong and he can gain a second win at Newcastle.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -45%) Nazca	4 4/1(-45%)	(6) Nazca 4/1, C&D winner who got back on the up when second of 8 in C&D handicap 15 days ago, clear of rest. Must enter the reckoning. Had fine winter & bounced back from two quiet runs to go close here latest; 2lb higher now.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 -83%) Blazing Son	5.5 11/2(-83%)	(5) Blazing Son 11/2, C&D winner who ran below form at Redcar when last seen in October but has gone well fresh before and can't be dismissed. Fine record on AW and well treated on 2023 best; interesting back from a break.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +17%) Burj Malinka	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Burj Malinka 10/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Too free after 4 months off when only seventh of 8 over C&D 15 days ago. Probably needed his reappearance and he's handicapped to go well; contender.
4	3 4th (3) (2/1 +56%) Novak	2 2/1(+56%)	(3) Novak 2/1, Course winner who again ran respectably when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 17/2) 5 days ago. Stiff 6f should suit and he's probaby in better form than his figures suggest; shortlisted.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -100%) Ballyare	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Ballyare 16/1, Course winner who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Others preferred. Down to a good mark and a strong early pace would aid his cause.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 -17%) Bobby Joe Leg	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Bobby Joe Leg 7/2, Completed a 4-timer in likeable fashion last month and bounced back to his best when second of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) last week. Big shout. Thriving veteran who is 2lb well in; has first 6f run since August 2019 but not discounted.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -167%) Vixey	16 16/1(-167%)	(1) Vixey 16/1, 7/4, good second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Chris Fairhurst and could go well. Progressed for C Fairhurst last year; more to come but has absence to defy on stable debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 -136%) Sound Of Iona	66 66/1(-136%)	(8) Sound Of Iona 66/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (5f). Off 126 days. Had a bleak 2023 but dropped 27lb in the weights; may need this reappearance.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NAZCA finished an agonising narrow second over C&D under Tommie Jakes last time out, but he is fancied to go one better from a 2lb higher mark. Bobby Joe Leg continued his rich vein of form when also occupying the runner-up berth one week ago and must be respected, while the unexposed Vixey, who starts out for a new yard on the back of a 190-day absence, can also enter the reckoning.

BLAZING SON has slipped below his last winning mark and, having run well fresh before, a chance is taken on him to bounce back to form. Nazca and likeable veteran Bobby Joe Leg are feared most.

Blazing Son has plenty to recommend him but he's back from a break and BURJ MALINKA, who has had a recent run, may be the answer.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (66/1 -32%) Thursday's Child	66 66/1(-32%)	(9) Thursday's Child 66/1, 20,000 gns Harry Angel filly. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Rosy Blush out of useful winner up to 10.4f (2-y-o 7f-1m winner) Sweet Lilly. A watching brief is advised on debut. Stable not a noted source of winning newcomers and looks one for later on.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -60%) Star Jasmine	4 4/1(-60%)	(7) Star Jasmine 4/1, Churchill filly who cost 400,000 gns as a yearling and is a sister to 2-y-o 1m winner River Thames. Interesting newcomer. Stable gets plenty of winning newcomers and the market should indicate what is expected.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/4 +0%) Absolute Star	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(2) Absolute Star 9/4, Promising sort. Second of 9 in C&D maiden on debut 52 days ago, keeping on not knocked about. Can be expected to improve and leading claims. Runner-up on her debut over C&D in January; major player.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +25%) Maritime Lady	9 9/1(+25%)	(5) Maritime Lady 9/1, 33/1, held back by inexperience when fifth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (7f) on debut 22 days ago, never nearer. May do better. Promising fifth on Southwell debut and form has been franked; interesting.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 +19%) Kindest Nation	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(4) Kindest Nation 13/2, £22,000 Sioux Nation filly. Dam unraced. Newcomer to note in the betting. Stable does have winners first time out and worth a market check.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/2 +61%) Star Of Kilfrush	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(8) Star Of Kilfrush 7/2, 20/1. sixth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut 39 days ago. Open to progress. Green when sixth on her Wolverhampton debut; well bred and should improve.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 +9%) Sneaky Girl	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Sneaky Girl 5/1, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Half-sister to very smart 7f-1¼m winner Lady Bowthorpe, smart winner up to 7f Speak In Colours and useful winner up to 1m Pretty In Grey. Makes obvious paper appeal and respected if the betting vibes are strong. Stable doesn't have that many go in first time but pedigree makes a market check crucial.
8th	1 8th (1) (200/1 -100%) Emer Elysees	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Emer Elysees 200/1, Modest form in bumpers in Ireland but well held in 2 Flat runs this winter (trained by Barry Fitzgerald on first occasion). A little promise in a couple of Irish bumpers but nothing in two starts on the Flat.

18:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A highly encouraging second on her debut over C&D in January, ABSOLUTE STAR must hold every chance of breaking the maiden tag granted normal improvement. Another open to progress is Heavenly Fire, who shaped well first time out at Lingfield when not getting a clear run and staying on well late in the day. A costly purchase at the sales for an esteemed owner, Star Jasmine must be monitored for market support on debut.

ABSOLUTE STAR made an encouraging start to her career when second over C&D in January and is the percentage call with improvement likely, although a strong market move for well-bred newcomers Star Jasmine and/or Sneaky Girl would put a slightly different slant on things.

A chance is taken with MARITIME LADY who belied her 33-1 odds when a close fifth on her Southwell debut. The form has been franked.

1	12 1st (12) (25/1 -79%) Latin Five	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Latin Five 25/1, 10/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. Should strip fitter for that return, so no surprise if he's back on his game. Has form over C&D & should be sharper for last month's return; others still look stronger.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 -29%) Phoenix Star	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(10) Phoenix Star 9/2, 4-time C&D winner. Won 10-runner handicap (6/4) at this C&D 15 days ago by ¾ length from Elzaal. Can make presence felt. Loves it here and won well 15 days ago; no banker to confirm placings with Elzaal though.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 +0%) Saaheq	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) Saaheq 25/1, 16/1, last of 10 in handicap at this C&D. Off 126 days. Ended last season out of sorts, so hard to make a solid case for after break. On a good mark and won't mind conditions but he'll need to be cherry-ripe after a break.
4	7 4th (7) (5/2 +38%) Elzaal	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(7) Elzaal 5/2, 5-time C&D winner. Four wins from 15 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good ¾-length second of 10 to Phoenix Star in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 15 days ago, running on. Should go well again. Conditions to suit and ran well after a break here 15 days ago; more appealing than most.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/2 +65%) Warminster	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(8) Warminster 7/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 17/2) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly. Held his form for new yard this winter but today's drop in trip isn't sure to suit.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 +13%) Rogue De Vega	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Rogue De Vega 7/1, Hooded for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 40/1) 11 days ago, not clear run. Becoming well treated and shaped nicely last time. More encouragement when 4th at Wolverhampton 11 days ago; stiffer test should suit.
7th	11 7th (11) (18/1 +45%) Mews House	18 18/1(+45%)	(11) Mews House 18/1, 7¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Phoenix Star in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Dropped right away in a couple of C&D runs last month; others come here in better form.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/1 -64%) Alafdhal	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Alafdhal 9/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. 5/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago. Bang in form and should be on the premises again. In good form and went close off this mark at Chelmsford eight days ago.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 +0%) Blazing Hot	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Blazing Hot 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. 28/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can get involved if the race pans out ideally. 5f win at Southwell in January and placed over 6f latest; consistency not his forte.
10th	9 10th (9) (22/1 -10%) Sixcor	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Sixcor 22/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 10/1, 9 lengths eighth of 10 to Phoenix Star in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Down the field in two C&D runs this year; others look safer.
11th	3 11th (3) (25/1 +0%) Indian Sounds	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Indian Sounds 25/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D. Off 158 days. Likely to need the run. Capable at this level but his record fresh doesn't suggest today will be the day.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between PHOENIX STAR (first) and Elzaal (second), with the former taken to uphold that form, despite being 5lb worse off at the weights for less then a length. Jessica Macey's charge rarely runs a bad race here and should have too much for the likes of Alafdhal and Southwell winner Water Of Leith.

WATER OF LEITH defied a reduced mark with something to spare at Southwell last time and he remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so a chance is taken on him to follow up. Phoenix Star and Alafdhal also arrive at the top of their game and should feature.

Elzaal can reverse recent C&D placings with Phoenix Star but ROGUE DE VEGA could have more to offer in a hood.

1	12 1st (12) (9/2 +18%) Danielsflyer	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(12) Danielsflyer 9/2, 4-time course winner. Won 12-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Can make presence felt again. This stronger as he chases a hat-trick under a penalty but nothing arrives in better form.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +50%) Lahab	4 4/1(+50%)	(4) Lahab 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. First run since leaving Andrew Balding when very good third of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) 52 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit and he has more to offer. Fair debut for his new yard here (6f); has to settle better than in one previous try at 1m.
3	10 3rd (10) (16/1 -167%) Star Shield	16 16/1(-167%)	(10) Star Shield 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 6/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Others look better treated. Landed a third C&D win off a mark just 1lb lower late last year; rarely disappoints here.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -40%) Paris Lights	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Paris Lights 28/1, 25/1, ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 30 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Must improve. Fair comeback for his new yard before not taking to hurdles; this trip is a bare minimum.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +33%) Hartswood	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Hartswood 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in October. 18/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 61 days ago, left poorly placed. Can get involved if things drop right. Back on his last successful mark (turf) and has won over C&D; has a fair bit in his favour.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 +36%) Gainsbourg	16 16/1(+36%)	(7) Gainsbourg 16/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (150/1) 20 days ago. Needs to up his game. Has done his winning on turf in late summer/autumn and never off a mark this high.
7th	3 7th (3) (17/2 -70%) Torchlight	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(3) Torchlight 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 7 days ago, finishing with running left. Should benefit from this step up in trip, so one to note. Promise in the tongue-tie for her new yard last Friday; that gave something to build on.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 +25%) Hortzadar	9 9/1(+25%)	(5) Hortzadar 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Eighth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Others make more appeal. Hold-up performer; won over C&D off this mark four months ago; remains capable.
9th	6 9th (6) (15/2 +70%) King Sharja	7.5 15/2(+70%)	(6) King Sharja 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 14/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Makes handicap debut. More required. Has been gelded and the market could be informative on his handicap and stable debut.
10th	9 10th (9) (6/1 -20%) Enola Grey	6 6/1(-20%)	(9) Enola Grey 6/1, C&D winner. 4/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago, just failing. Bound to remain competitive. Habitual slow-starter who won twice over C&D late last year; ought to go well once more.

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a taking success over C&D last Friday, Danielsflyer is bound to be popular under a 4lb penalty, but preference instead is for the less-exposed TORCHLIGHT. An eye-catcher when making late headway on her first start for new connections at Lingfield, the daughter of Invincible Spirit should appreciate the drop in grade and going back up to a mile. Enola Grey and Lahab have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

TORCHLIGHT caught the eye from a poor position on her first outing for George Boughey and, up in trip, she's likely to take a step forward, so she takes marginal preference over Lahab, who started well for Grant Tuer here last time. Hat-trick seeker Danielsflyer is another one to consider.

This can go to HARTSWOOD, who's gone well fresh before and returns on his last winning mark. Danielsflyer is another to consider.

1	3 1st (3) (20/1 -67%) Turbo Command	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Turbo Command 20/1, Three wins from 15 runs last year, the latest at Southwell in December. 13/2, 4¾ lengths fifth of 8 to To The Bar in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Others have achieved more. Three-time winner over this trip at Southwell, but placed just once in seven visits here.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/3 +26%) Saisons D'or	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(10) Saisons D'or 10/3, Three-time C&D winner. Good second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Entitled to come on for that given that it was his first run for 4 months, and he's high on the shortlist. Triple C&D winner; well treated and has a fine record on second start back from a break.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +38%) Eleven Eleven	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Eleven Eleven 5/1, Four-time course winner. Latest win here in February. Respectable 4 lengths fourth of 8 to To The Bar in handicap at this C&D (11/8) 20 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Made all over C&D last month but held nine days later; more needed.
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +11%) Pallas Lord	4 4/1(+11%)	(9) Pallas Lord 4/1, Six-time course winner. 15/8, won 8-runner handicap at this course (8f) 17 days ago, digging deep. Needs more up 3 lb but he's on a roll and has to enter calculations. Form since tongue-tie went on in December reads 2212111; dual C&D winner; much respected.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -25%) Laura's Breeze	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Laura's Breeze 10/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/2) 52 days ago, missing break. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop and claims if on-song. Consistent though just 1-15; frame material again if maintaining her form for her new yard.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -78%) Plink	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Plink 16/1, Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 90 days ago, suited by way race developed. Up 2 lb for that and looks vulnerable back from a 3-month break. Second over C&D last time, but has a three-month absence and 2lb rise to overcome.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 +38%) Mr Squires	10 10/1(+38%)	(2) Mr Squires 10/1, 13/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 45 days ago, possibly amiss. Others make more appeal. Running well prior to bombing out at Southwell in January; has something to prove.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 -29%) Devasboy	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Devasboy 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago. Place possibilities. Losing run up to 23; all three wins have come at around 7f, but he may prefer 1m now.
9th	12 9th (12) (66/1 -100%) Stormy Pearl	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Stormy Pearl 66/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when a below-par seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 64 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Back off last winning mark but showed little on stable debut; plenty to prove up in trip.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 -65%) Captain Cooper	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Captain Cooper 33/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sole win in 16 starts came over C&D; excuses in two starts since returning for this yard.
11th	5 11th (5) (11/2 +0%) To The Bar	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(5) To The Bar 11/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D 20 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb nudge fair enough and likely to be in the thick of things once again. Ended a 14-race losing run over C&D last time; still looks fairly treated on old form.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Three of the four recent course successes posted by Pallas Lord came over a mile and while he did scrap his way to a C&D success in an apprentice handicap on his penultimate start, this looks a deeper test for the Donald Whillans-trained gelding. With that in mind, TO THE BAR earns the nod as he bids to follow up last month's C&D success from just 2lb higher. Rated 96 at his peak, the selection is too well treated to ignore on the back of that return to form. Devasboy and Eleven Eleven complete the shortlist.

SAISONS D'OR pulled nicely clear of the rest when runner-up in the first division of a C&D handicap last month and, likely to be a bit sharper this time, he could be the answer. To The Bar landed the second division of the same handicap and he is feared most ahead of Laura's Breeze and the in-form Pallas Lord.

This can go to triple C&D winner SAISONS D'OR who remains well treated and has a great record on his second start back from an absence.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -20%) Big Narstie	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Big Narstie 4/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 6/5, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. This consistent type can be expected to give another good account. Three-time 7f winner who's proven consistent since the blinkers went on; leading claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 -9%) Ledger	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Ledger 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable third of 9 in minor event at this C&D (5/2) 7 days ago. Will need to improve for the fitting of blinkers if he's to emerge on top. Two C&D wins since coming over from Ireland; player switched from cheekpieces to blinkers.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 +0%) Candy Eye	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Candy Eye 33/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and looks set for another struggle. Poor maiden; the big step up in trip looks more in hope than expectation.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 -45%) Sienna Breeze	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) Sienna Breeze 4/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 7/1) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Obvious claims. Comes with risks, as she can blow the start and/or pull hard, but she has to be considered.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/4 +17%) Marie's Jewel	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(3) Marie's Jewel 11/4, Very good second of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 18/1) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Reproduction of that effort would give him a fighting chance. First signs of spark latest; threatens to be suited by going 1m and is shortlisted.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +8%) Key Look	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Key Look 11/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. Sixth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 64 days ago. Others more persuasive. Most wins, including twice here, have come over 7f; can miss the break and/or pull hard.
7th	7 7th (7) (17/2 +47%) Damoiseau	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(7) Damoiseau 17/2, Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he's hard to warm to. Handicapper quick to ease off; stamina a question mark on pedigree (related to sprinters).
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -60%) Shotley Royale	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Shotley Royale 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, 80/1). Off 140 days and now moves significantly up in trip. Others preferred. Goes beyond 6f for the first time (is related mainly to sprinters); watch the market.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Sienna Breeze scored over 7f at Southwell 10 days ago but stepping up in trip and a 5lb penalty puts the mare at a disadvantage under top-weight this time. Therefore, LEDGER, a winner over course and distance in a classified event on his penultimate start, may be the way to go. A close third over C&D since, combining cheekpieces with a tongue-strap seems to have revitalised the selection and another big run is expected with the headgear now switched to blinkers. Marie's Jewel and Big Narstie complete the shortlist.

Though SIENNA BREEZE isn't technically well-in under a penalty, she is the most appealing all the same on the back of her recent Southwell success. The consistent Big Narstie looks nailed-on for another leading role, while this step up in trip should suit Marie's Jewel and she is also shortlisted.

A few have stamina to prove and others have risks attached, leaving this looking good for MARIE'S JEWEL (nap). Ledger is next best.

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.
