6	6 (6) (15/8 +66%) Papagei		1.875 15/8(+66%)																															(6) Papagei 15/8, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, ran below pick of form when tenth of 12 in novice event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October. However, gelded since last seen and returns with yard amongst the winners so well worthy of note if market vibes are positive. Promise on debut last summer; likely improver handicapping over 1m this year; been gelded.
7	7 (7) (4/1 -100%) Superb Force		4 4/1(-100%)																															(7) Superb Force 4/1, Much-improved for switch to handicaps/equipped with a visor when runner-up to another unexposed sort (pair clear) at Lingfield (1m) last month. Shade underwhelming when fifth at Kempton since but worth another chance to confirm previous promise. Blinkers go on. Fluffed his lines at Kempton but still of major interest judged on earlier Lingfield 2nd.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -14%) Havanarama		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Havanarama 4/1, Much improved on back of being gelded/fitted with a hood when opening his account at Kempton (7f) in January. Similar form when second of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Should be in the thick of things again. Kempton win in January followed by a solid 2nd here (both 7f); up in trip; can race freely.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +31%) Squeaker		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(4) Squeaker 11/2, Fair maiden who ran respectably on the back of 4 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago, coming from further back than ideal. No surprise to see a good showing from 1 lb lower mark. Shown enough to think she could win a handicap but needs to bounce back from a modest run.
3	3 (3) (13/2 +28%) Khamsin		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(3) Khamsin 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 40 days ago, pushed along 3f out and left behind gradually. Return to this trip may help now. Fourth in two small-field handicaps this year; needs more but that's impossible.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -60%) Mariner		16 16/1(-60%)																															(1) Mariner 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who is not long with this yard and not disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago, left with lot to do. Return to 1m looks likely to suit. Similar form in three course runs for this yard; returning to 1m not enough to tempt.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -220%) Mon Etoile		16 16/1(-220%)																															(5) Mon Etoile 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Again found only one too good in 9-runner maiden (6/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, keeping on well and edged out close home. Shapes like she'll stay further still and not discounted on handicap bow. Runner-up in AW maidens on her last three starts; more needed on this handicap debut.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -21%) Infinite Honour		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Infinite Honour 40/1, Decorated Knight gelding who finished midfield in trio of novice/maiden contests at upto 7f last summer. Needs to find some progress now handicapping on the back of 6 months off. Appeals as a likely improver this year but he's eligible for weaker races than this.

17:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It could be a winning return to UK shores for Silvestre De Sousa, who gets the leg up on Andrew Balding's SUPERB FORCE. Although he failed to live up to market expectations when finishing fifth at Kempton 11 days ago, he has proven his ability to compete recently and the addition of first-time blinkers could sharpen him up. Havanarama will have his supporters having hit the crossbar over 7f here last month, while Mon Etoile enters handicaps following a series of promising efforts at maiden level and must be considered.

SUPERB FORCE was a shade disappointing at Kempton 11 days ago given the promise he'd showed when just touched off by a next-time-out winner at Lingfield on his penultimate start but he's probably worth another chance on balance and earns the vote with blinkers replacing the visor. Havanarama and Mon Etoile both arrive in good order are and feared, whilst market confidence behind the returning Papagei would need to be viewed positively now handicapping/having been gelded.

Papagei is a fascinating contender now handicapping but SUPERB FORCE (nap) is given another chance to prove he's ahead of his mark.

1	1 (1) (11/8 +27%) Greatgadian		1.375 11/8(+27%)																															(1) Greatgadian 11/8, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (4/1) at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has good chance on form. In good form on AW this winter, most recently keeping on for second here (7f) ten days ago.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +58%) Ron O		2.75 11/4(+58%)																															(3) Ron O 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 28/1) 10 days ago, not quicken close home. Can give another good account for all present mark demands that bit more. Good 3rd over 7f here last time; returning to 1m in his favour; capable of another big run.
5	5 (5) (3/1 +67%) Chuzzlewit		3 3/1(+67%)																															(5) Chuzzlewit 3/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 8 without being seen to best effect in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 25 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Just one win to his name but keeps shaping well in defeat; blinkers could spark extra.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +54%) Dawn Of Liberation		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(4) Dawn Of Liberation 11/2, Useful, dual winner as a 3-y-o who proved largely disappointing for Richard Hannon last term. Acquired by new yard for 27,000 gns in October but percentage call to look elsewhere on return to action. Smart 3yo but struggled in 2023; sold for 27,000gns since latest run; down in class; risky.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -150%) Bashful		20 20/1(-150%)																															(6) Bashful 20/1, Course winner. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft, 6/4) 24 days ago, impressing with the ease in which me made up his ground. Had wind surgery ahead of return to the level and capable of getting involved from this mark. Second over C&D in January was followed by two hurdle wins last month; had wind op since.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -142%) First Dynasty		80 80/1(-142%)																															(7) First Dynasty 80/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Tom Clover when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f) in November. Absent since and bit to prove now dropping back down in trip. Ended 2023 with two heavy defeats; best watched on his return.

18:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A 456-day absence proved no barrier for success when NOBLE ORDER scored with something up his sleeve over C&D last month. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Archie Watson's gelding and a double could be in the offing. The biggest threat may emerge from Greatgadian, who caught the eye when a staying-on second over 7f here earlier in March. Bashful has been in fine fettle over hurdles of late and he cannot be ruled out either.

NOBLE ORDER made light of a 15-month absence as he ran out a convincing winner on debut for Archie Watson over C&D 25 days ago and, with the physique and pedigree to suggest he can do better still, he earns the vote in the hope he can stand more regular racing. Greatgadian rates the chief danger for Roger Varian, ahead of Ron O.

Noble Order is the obvious starting point but CHUZZLEWIT continues to threaten better and blinkers could unlock his potential.

2	2 (2) (9/4 -20%) Sibyl Charm		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(2) Sibyl Charm 9/4, Has done well on AW upon joining this yard, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (6f, 7/2) 10 days ago, leading 2f out and always holding on. Expected to feature again under a penalty. In the groove at present, gaining 2nd course win ten days ago (6f); chance despite penalty.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -67%) Prairie Falcon		5 5/1(-67%)																															(3) Prairie Falcon 5/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs who couldn't add to his tally last term but signed off with respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in August, faring best of those held up. Booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye on return and worth a second look. Winless last year but starts this campaign off good mark; this is easier than he's used to.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +29%) Woodstock		5 5/1(+29%)																															(1) Woodstock 5/1, Won 2 of first 3 starts on AW this time last year and ran just about best race yet when second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.3f) in June. Disappointed at Epsom a month later but returns to action for new yard having been gelded. Not one to write off by any means back on AW. Promising on AW for former yard; struggled in turf h'caps but this is weaker; check market.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +28%) Goldsmith		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(6) Goldsmith 13/2, Enjoyed a good spell this winter, running up to best when adding to his tally at Lingfield (1m) in February. However, not at best when tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago. Five-time AW winner but over further; below par latest; query over this trip.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -17%) Sir Maxi		7 7/1(-17%)																															(7) Sir Maxi 7/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 10/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Not taken lightly. Capitalised on the fast pace when winning over C&D in November; not sure he'll get it here.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -13%) Illusionist		9 9/1(-13%)																															(4) Illusionist 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 2½ lengths sixth of 11 to Sibyl Charm in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f) 10 days ago, weakening gradually final 1f. Others more persuasive. Better known for sprint exploits; has finished behind Sibyl Charm here the last twice.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) Initio		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Initio 10/1, Didn't need to improve when bagging 12-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in October. Ran well when fifth back in much stronger company back there a month later and he remains relatively low mileage back from 4 months off. 7f win at Wolverhampton in October; fair 5th in handicap there one month later; needs more.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +52%) Bowman		12 12/1(+52%)																															(8) Bowman 12/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 28/1) 37 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Laura Mongan and others more persuasive. Had a quiet spell for former yard and something to prove starting out for this one.

18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having regained the winning thread over 6f here recently, Sibyl Charm is sure to prove popular. However, a 5lb penalty may be enough to prevent the four-year-old from completing a brace, with SIR MAXI making slightly more appeal. Richard Fahey's charge is now 1lb below his C&D victory in November and a third career triumph on the all-weather could beckon. Prairie Falcon and Illusionist may fight it out for the remaining place.

PRAIRIE FALCON ended last term with a good third over this trip at Thirsk in August and, appealing as being on a workable mark and Hollie Doyle very much an eye-catching booking, it would come as no surprise to see Michael Dods's 4-y-o put up a good showing. Sibyl Charm, a recent winner over 6f here, is also expected to feature, with the returning Woodstock on debut for Ruth Carr and Sir Maxi others worth a second look.

This is weaker than PRAIRIE FALCON is used to and he can make a winning return. Sibyl Charm and Woodstock are feared most.

2	2 (2) (16/5 +20%) Zarzyni		3.2 16/5(+20%)																															(2) Zarzyni 16/5, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously from the same mark. Run well in stronger C&D handicaps the last twice; should be in the thick of it.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +33%) Jenever		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(6) Jenever 10/3, C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in November. 9/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, finishing well. Respected. C&D winner and he's run well in defeat here the last twice; should be involved.
11	11 (11) (11/2 +21%) Bonito Cavalo		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(11) Bonito Cavalo 11/2, 5-time course winner this year. Good third (finished second, demoted a place) of 11 in 6f handicap (5/2) at this course 10 days ago. Ceiling may not have been reached yet and remains of interest. Flourished on AW this winter, winning five here; set to go well again.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +7%) Pockley		7 7/1(+7%)																															(10) Pockley 7/1, All 6 career victories at this course, with latest win in November. Good second (third past post, promoted) of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 6/1) 10 days ago. One to consider. Closely matched with Bonito Cavalo on a recent 6f run here; can be involved.
9	9 (9) (7/1 -17%) Tyke		7 7/1(-17%)																															(9) Tyke 7/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in December. 9/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 29 days ago. His four best RPRs have come over 6f at Southwell; something to prove dropped to 5f.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -69%) Star Of Lady M		11 11/1(-69%)																															(1) Star Of Lady M 11/1, Latest win at Lingfield in February. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. This winter's wins have come at Lingfield but she's effective elsewhere; considered.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -144%) Gustav Graves		11 11/1(-144%)																															(5) Gustav Graves 11/1, 10/3, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. 9 lb rise to contend with but thriving under this rider and no surprise to see him go well again up in class. Won 5 of his last 8 but the handicapper has taken a dim view of the latest win; vulnerable.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -144%) Reigning Profit		22 22/1(-144%)																															(7) Reigning Profit 22/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 13/2) 19 days ago. Useful on his day but no certainty to confirm Wolverhampton placings with Star Of Lady M.
3	3 (3) (28/1 -75%) Princess Karine		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Princess Karine 28/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in September. Off 117 days. Gone well fresh and over C&D. One to consider. Can go well fresh and returns off a fair mark; one to be interested in.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Our Absent Friends		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Our Absent Friends 33/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 32 days ago. C&D winner but yet to fire back from a break and others are stronger tonight.
4	4 (4) (50/1 -52%) High Velocity		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) High Velocity 50/1, C&D winner. Off 13 months, first run since leaving James Tate when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 22/1) 24 days ago. Low-key stable debut at Kempton last month; needs to leave that well behind.

19:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A 9lb rise for Gustav Graves' latest victory over track and trip may prove his undoing, with ZARZYNI selected to thwart the six-year-old in his bid for a hat-trick. The seven-year-old posted a close-up second over C&D earlier this month and a similar level of performance may be enough for him to enjoy a breakthrough success on Tapeta. Pockley is unlikely to be far away in his current heart either.

ZARZYNI's strike-rate isn't the best but there's little doubting he's on a good mark right now, just failing to get past a game winner here last time, and he could be the way to go with cheekpieces back on. Bonito Cavalo and Princess Karine are a couple of others to consider in a competitive handicap.

Fiendishly competitive but JENEVER wasn't ideally positioned last time and can reverse placings with Zarzyni.

4	4 (4) (9/4 +0%) Plastic Paddy		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(4) Plastic Paddy 9/4, 3-time C&D winner. 9/2, won 8-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Capable of following up. Unpenalised for last week's Kempton win and he's got a better record here; obvious chance.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +58%) Star Shield		3.333333 10/3(+58%)																															(5) Star Shield 10/3, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 5 days ago, nearest finish. One to consider. Conditions to suit and placed in all three AW runs this year; in the mix again.
10	10 (10) (7/2 -40%) Lough Leane		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(10) Lough Leane 7/2, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (6/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago. Merits consideration. Chasing a hat-trick but doesn't look straightforward and this is a rise in class.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +43%) Trais Fluors		8 8/1(+43%)																															(3) Trais Fluors 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 25 days ago. Not dismissed. Two C&D wins for new yard this winter; held in a better race last time; not discounted.
1	1 (1) (9/1 +25%) Crownthorpe		9 9/1(+25%)																															(1) Crownthorpe 9/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Conditions to suit and dropping into a Class 5 will help; should make a bold bid.

Latest win at Kempton in November. 4/1, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 46 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Flat and hurdle wins for new yard but dropping back to 1m isn't sure to suit.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +24%) Midnight Lion		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) Midnight Lion 25/1, One win from 3 runs last year. Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 100/1) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Yet to fire for current stable and dropping to 1m isn't the obvious solution (1m6f winner).
2	2 (2) (25/1 -317%) Matty Too		25 25/1(-317%)																															(2) Matty Too 25/1, 9/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 48 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop. Cheekpieces back on. Well worth monitoring in the betting. 6-time winner; good 3rd here on final run for E Dunlop; stamina the query on stable debut.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -186%) Sandret		40 40/1(-186%)																															(9) Sandret 40/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 76 days ago. Shaping well prior to latest outing so not one to write off. Conditions to suit but ran poorly on latest start and yard has had a quiet winter on Flat.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -213%) Shine On Brendan		50 50/1(-213%)																															(8) Shine On Brendan 50/1, 4/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft). Off 163 days. Others more persuasive. In good form on turf last year but he's 0-15 on AW and has been off since early October.

19:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LOUGH LEANE is in the form of his life at present and he can take this rise in grade in his stride following a determined success at Wolverhampton last month. A 2lb rise for that success could prove lenient and David Simcock's charge is narrowly preferred to Kempton scorer Plastic Paddy and It's A Love Thing, who was runner-up over much further here last time out. Matty Too and Star Shield are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

PLASTIC PADDY did well to get up when scoring at Kempton a week ago and he's a likely candidate to follow up at a track where he boasts a solid record. Lough Leane and It's A Love Thing are both feasible dangers.

Crownthorpe and Trais Fluors can go well but the unpenalised PLASTIC PADDY has a big chance to follow up his Kempton win.

7	7 (7) (7/2 +13%) Irish Flame		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(7) Irish Flame 7/2, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 6/4, respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Havana Party in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Merits consideration. Yet to win a handicap; effective over C&D but work to do with Havana Party; new headgear.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -78%) Havana Party		4 4/1(-78%)																															(3) Havana Party 4/1, 12/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Winning return over C&D last month; now 6lb higher but did it well and can't be ignored.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Cusack		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Cusack 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win here in February. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (10.2f) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Likely to be on the premises. Surge of improvement to win two here last month but safely held off this mark twice since.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +0%) Natzor		8 8/1(+0%)																															(8) Natzor 8/1, 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D. Off 166 days. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson. Something to find on form. Didn't progress for A Watson but has had a wind op prior to this stable debut; interesting.
4	4 (4) (17/2 -42%) Sugar Hill		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(4) Sugar Hill 17/2, Unreliable sort. 9/2, below form fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 33 days ago. Not the most straightforward but may have a bigger effort in him now switched to handicaps. Has ability but also his share of temperament; betting instructive now handicapping.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Skilled Warrior		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Skilled Warrior 16/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, last of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 12 days ago, folding tamely. Back down in trip. Others make more appeal. C&D winner off 10lb higher last April; mixed bag this winter but he's capable.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -13%) Harswell Duke		18 18/1(-13%)																															(1) Harswell Duke 18/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1), slowly away. Off 127 days. Won the Lincoln consolation off 8lb higher last spring; struggled after; 0-5 on AW.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -213%) Showmedemoney		25 25/1(-213%)																															(9) Showmedemoney 25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. 16/1, creditable 4½ lengths third of 9 to Havana Party in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. More encouragement when 3rd to Havana Party here last month; on a dangerous mark.

20:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HAVANA PARTY returned from a 148-day break with a comfortable success over C&D last month and a 6lb rise appears to be manageable for a six-year-old looking for his third win in four starts. That may be at the main expense of the fourth from that contest, Irish Flame, who has nearly five lengths to make up with the selection, but is 7lb better off at the weights, and the unexposed Sugar Hill.

IRISH FLAME wasn't discredited after attracting support last time and, while he has a bit to do to turn the tables with Havana Party, he does arrive on much better terms, so he's worth chancing. Cusack is another one to consider.

Sugar Hill is an interesting handicap debutant but HAVANA PARTY won well here last month and can defy his 6lb rise.

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.
