Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (12.4f, 7/2) 36 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has good chance on form but possibly vulnerable to stronger stayers.

6th	9 6th (9) (7.5/1 +25%) Nolton Cross		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(9) Nolton Cross 7.5/1, Useful gelding. 10/3, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, having run of race. Significantly up in trip.

Career best when winning 5-runner minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 27 days ago by head from Fleurman, having run of race. Won this last year and should make another bold bid.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

BERKSHIRE ROCCO has a touch of class and has scope to go further now he's proven he has the stamina. His last two performances suggest a race of this nature is within his compass and, with the in-form Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, all the pieces fit together well enough to expect a big run from the six-year-old. Earlofthecotswolds doesn't have much to find with the selection judged on their encounter at Kempton in February, while Nolton Cross is also fancied to be thereabouts.

BERKSHIRE ROCCO is making up for lost time now and had a few of these in behind when runner-up to a smart one at Kempton 8 weeks ago. The likely stiffer test here will suit and he looks the one to beat. Barenboim continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and must be respected despite slight stamina doubts, while last year's winner Earlofthecotswolds just held off Fleurman at Wolverhampton last month and there shouldn't be much between the pair again.

Berkshire Rocco is the form horse on recent evidence but FLEURMAN and Earlofthecotswolds are appealing alternatives.

1	5 1st (5) (2.25/1 +74%) Notre Belle Bete		2.25 2.25/1(+74%)																															(5) Notre Belle Bete 2.25/1, Three-time scorer at around 1m last year who has posted solid efforts in 1m handicaps at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in 2023. This is tougher but he's still not discounted back up to 1m2f.
2	1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Base Note		6.5 6.5/1(+13%)																															(1) Base Note 6.5/1, Smart gelding who kickstarted 2023 with success in 1m4f Lingfield handicap. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth of 6 at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago so needs considering.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -45%) Harrovian		4 4/1(-45%)																															(4) Harrovian 4/1, Useful gelding who arrives in good nick, fourth of 8 to stablemate Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield (10f, AW) 41 days ago. Shortlisted.
4	2 4th (2) (2.25/1 -29%) Forest Of Dean		2.25 2.25/1(-29%)																															(2) Forest Of Dean 2.25/1, Resumed with cosy C&D success in January and not disgraced when sixth of 8 to stablemate Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield (10f) 41 days ago. Big shout at these weights.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +30%) United Front		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) United Front 14/1, Course winner who posted easily his best run this term when third of 11 in handicap at Meydan (8f) 42 days ago. Back up in trip and not dismissed.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 -67%) Freescape		10 10/1(-67%)																															(3) Freescape 10/1, Smart Irish gelding who scored on AW at Dundalk in December. Only eighth in Group 3 event at Meydan (9.9f, good) 49 days ago but not ruled out in this less exacting company.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Freescape has failed to make much of an impact out in Dubai, but he shouldn't be underestimated now back home and he warrants respect. However, FOREST OF DEAN shaped better than the bare form when weakening into sixth in the Winter Derby - a prize he claimed in 2021 - and the John Gosden-trained seven-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread in these calmer waters. His stablemate Harrovian finished ahead in fourth on that occasion, but could only manage third when the selection struck over this C&D in January.

FOREST OF DEAN started 2023 with a cosy C&D success and has less on his plate than when sixth to stablemate Lord North in Lingfield's Winter Derby so looks the way to go. Irish-challenger Freescape shouldn't be underestimated and is next on the list ahead of Base Note, who wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time.

Preference is for the in-form NOTRE BELLE BETE now back up in trip. Forest Of Dean is feared most ahead of stablemate Harrovian

1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 -27%) Berkshire Shadow		1.75 1.75/1(-27%)																															(1) Berkshire Shadow 1.75/1, Smart performer who was better than ever when making a successful reappearance and AW debut in the listed Wulfrina Stakes at Wolverhampton (7f) last month. Just as effective at 1m. Bold show likely.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +13%) Chichester		7 7/1(+13%)																															(2) Chichester 7/1, Ready winner of a C&D conditions event in January and even better form when narrowly denied in 1¼m Chelmsford handicap last month. Won't need to up is game much to have a big say.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -10%) The Wizard Of Eye		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) The Wizard Of Eye 11/1, Useful colt. Cheekpieces on first time (retained), career best when winning 4-runner listed race (20/1) at Kempton (1m) by 3½ lengths from Tinker Toy, having run of race from front. More will be required if he's to follow up here.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -29%) Lord Of The Lodge		18 18/1(-29%)																															(3) Lord Of The Lodge 18/1, Course scorer whose latest win came at Southwell (7f) in January. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f again) 27 days ago. Lingfield listed third in February shows he stays 1m but this track provides a stiffer test at the trip.
5th	4 5th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Positive		2.75 2.75/1(+31%)																															(4) Positive 2.75/1, Group 3 winner as a juvenile in 2019. Understandably took a bit of time to find his feet again after returning from a long absence last summer but AW handicap wins at Wolverhampton and Kempton this winter suggest he's every bit as good as ever. Leading claims.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +33%) San Andreas		4 4/1(+33%)																															(5) San Andreas 4/1, Smart gelding who got his head back in front in 1m Dundalk conditions race last month. Top Irish stable's British runners always command plenty of respect.

15:35 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

BERKSHIRE SHADOW looked back to his best when winning the Lady Wulfruna Stakes at Wolverhampton last month and the 2021 Coventry Stakes hero can stamp his class on this contest too. Positive is rated 5lb inferior to the selection, but is clearly in good heart having completed a brace of handicap victories. He is feared most, ahead of Irish raider San Andreas, who struck over this distance in taking fashion at Dundalk last time out.

POSITIVE has looked right back on song when landing a pair of very useful AW handicaps this winter and is narrowly preferred to last month's Wolverhampton listed winner Berkshire Shadow. Irish-raider San Andreas may prove best of the remainder.

Irish raider SAN ANDREAS went very close in this last year and can emerge on top this time, having bolted up at Dundalk in March.

1	5 1st (5) (1.5/1 +0%) Queen Aminatu		1.5 1.5/1(+0%)																															(5) Queen Aminatu 1.5/1, Ended last year on the up, impressively landing back-to-back AW listed events at up to 1m. Run style suggests the demands of this track will suit and she's well worth considering.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +13%) Aramis Grey		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Aramis Grey 14/1, Useful mare who chased home re-opposing Manaafith at Southwell (7f) on New Year's Day and having finished runner-up next time, she duly regained the winning thread in Lingfield conditions' event in February (with bit in hand). Credit to connections but more on her plate here.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.1/1 +0%) Manaafith		1.1 1.1/1(+0%)																															(4) Manaafith 1.1/1, Smart filly with a very good strike rate, gaining her sixth career success when landing 6-runner Lingfield listed event (1m) in February with plenty in hand. Remains open to further improvement and she's expected to play a lead role again.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 +8%) Hodd's Girl		11 11/1(+8%)																															(3) Hodd's Girl 11/1, Improved model for this yard, notching up yet another victory at Dundalk (6f) in January. Has performed with credit both starts since, latterly at listed level 4 weeks ago but place claims may be her best hope here.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +20%) Fiduciary		40 40/1(+20%)																															(2) Fiduciary 40/1, 6-y-o mare who ran to a useful level in North America but exploits have been mixed upon joining present yard, albeit not beaten far when last of 7 in Wolverhampton fillies' handicap (7f) 11 days ago. Still, very much has her work cut out on these terms. Blinkered for 1st time.
6th	6 6th (6) (18/1 +40%) River Pride		18 18/1(+40%)																															(6) River Pride 18/1, Dual 7f winner for Richard Hannon and better than ever to open account for present yard at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago, getting first run but always holding on. Needs to pull out a good deal more if she's to follow up in this higher grade, however.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 +0%) Smiling Sunflower		100 100/1(+0%)																															(7) Smiling Sunflower 100/1, Scored on debut for Mick Appleby at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and similar form in defeat from higher marks in trio of outings since. However, she's another with plenty to find on these terms and likely set to struggle.

LTO Selection:

---

16:10 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It is hard to look past MANAAFITH, who beat the boys in Listed company over a mile at Lingfield. A drop in trip may not be enough to stop the Roger Varian-trained filly adding to her tally because she accounted for Aramis Grey over this distance at Southwell on New Year's Day. Queen Aminatu progressed at a rate of knots towards the back end of 2022 and is feared most on her return to the fray. Aramis Grey has held her form since that Southwell defeat at the hands of the selection, and saw off last week's impressive Cammidge Trophy scorer Vadream at Lingfield.

MANAAFITH stretched her unbeaten record on synthetics to six when posting a career-best display to land a listed event at Lingfield in February and, with further progress on the cards, she rates the one to side with again. That said, Queen Aminatu is compiling a very solid record of her own and shouldn't be underestimated. Hodd's Girl can do best of the others.

This is probably between Manaafith and QUEEN AMINATU (nap), and the votes goes the latter who sets the standard on her return.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Diligent Harry		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Diligent Harry 4/1, Respectable neck second of 10 to Annaf in listed race at Lingfield (6f, AW, 4/1) before going one better in C&D handicap 10 days later. Saddle slipped at Chantilly since. High on shortlist.
2	10 2nd (10) (14/1 +30%) Witch Hunter		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Witch Hunter 14/1, Has done well since equipped with cheekpieces, winning at Wolverhampton in December and smart effort when going close at Lingfield (both 7f). Easy to forgive last week's showing in the Lincoln but may not have the pace of some of these back down in trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (1.75/1 +30%) Annaf		1.75 1.75/1(+30%)																															(2) Annaf 1.75/1, Smart colt. C&D winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 10-runner listed race (6/5) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 62 days ago by neck from Diligent Harry, overcoming pace bias. Shortlist material.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +10%) Mums Tipple		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Mums Tipple 9/1, Smart gelding. Won 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 10/1) 27 days ago, driven out. More needed here but frame claims.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 +29%) Harry's Bar		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(5) Harry's Bar 8.5/1, Smart gelding. Three wins from 8 runs last year. Respectable 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Berkshire Shadow in listed race (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 27 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly back down in trip.
6th	11 6th (11) (6/1 -33%) Vadream		6 6/1(-33%)																															(11) Vadream 6/1, Smart mare. C&D winner. 9/1, career best when winning 10-runner listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 6 days ago by 4½ lengths from Fast Response. No surprise to see her turned out quickly but this will be a different kind of test.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 -27%) Summerghand		7 7/1(-27%)																															(8) Summerghand 7/1, Smart gelding. Three wins from 10 runs last year, including Ayr Gold Cup and Listed event at Lingfield. Below-form sixth of 13 in minor event at Doha (6f, good) 48 days ago. Type to bounce back and merits consideration.
8th	7 8th (7) (125/1 -150%) Strong Power		125 125/1(-150%)																															(7) Strong Power 125/1, Enjoyed an excellent 2022 when garnering 4 wins but he's yet to hit top form this term, only ninth of 19 in handicap (25/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Plenty to find even if back to best.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -25%) Venturous		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Venturous 50/1, Useful gelding. 5-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (5f, 5/1) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Uphill task at this level.
10th	1 10th (1) (33/1 -50%) Alligator Alley		33 33/1(-50%)																															(1) Alligator Alley 33/1, Useful gelding. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in January. Last of 3 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/4) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. 6f may be ideal nowadays but others still preferred.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -18%) Exalted Angel		33 33/1(-18%)																															(4) Exalted Angel 33/1, Useful gelding. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 27 days ago. Opposable in this field.

16:45 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

ANNAF has taken his game to a new level this winter and completed a hat-trick when keeping on strongly to land Listed honours at Lingfield. The son of Muhaarar can continue his forward momentum, but Vadream bounced back to winning form in emphatic style at Doncaster last weekend and can give him plenty to think about. Diligent Harry was denied by the selection at Lingfield and after then defying top weight in handicap company here, struggled in France. He still merits consideration, as does Mums Tipple.

ANNAF has thrived on the AW this year, overcoming the run of the race when completing the hat-trick in a listed race at Lingfield 2 months ago, and appeals as the most likely winner. Diligent Harry was a neck behind the selection that day and has since won a C&D handicap so rates the main threat once again, while Vadream can't be ignored after her impressive win at Doncaster on Saturday.

Annaf is on a roll but the veteran SUMMERGHAND might be able to reverse February placings with him at this stiffer track.

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.
