13:15 Newcastle (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A small but select field for this mile contest and a race that could go the way of BOWMARK, who still holds a Dante entry suggesting he is held in some regard. An impressive debut winner at Kempton in December when scoring by over four lengths, despite pulling hard throughout, the Kingman colt looks destined for bigger and better things. Glittering Legend stepped up to beat Royal Lodge Stakes sixth Hawksbill on his seasonal return at Kempton and is an obvious danger, alongside Irish raider Michael Scofield, who remains unbeaten after two victories at Southwell in March.

Progressive GLITTERING LEGEND has strong credentials and he is first choice ahead of Titanium Emperor in an intriguing Burradon.

13:50 Newcastle (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Andrew Balding won this in 2024 with Fire Demon and he has three entered this year with BERKSHIRE WHISPER possibly the pick of the trio, after following up a debut second with wins at Kempton and over C&D when sent clear late on. Oisin Murphy will be hoping he can build on that for his handicap debut where a mark of 89 seems reasonable. So Darn Hot is also a C&D winner and he can go well with Warren Fentiman claiming 5lb, while Humam and Hello Zaman also make the shortlist.

Andrew Balding could hold the key here and the promising BERKSHIRE WHISPER is preferred to stablemate Marchogion.

14:25 Newcastle (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Aramis Grey's last victory was over this trip at Lingfield in 2023 off the same mark and remains capable of being in the mix. CLOUD COVER took this last year for James Tate and although a full stone higher now,the five-year-old still seems the one to beat. The winner of her last two starts at Deauville in Listed class and over C&D, she has had wind surgery which may bring improvement. Brazilian Rose is another who loves it here and she could surprise, despite racing from 2lb out of the handicap.

Last year's winner Cloud Cover is respected, while VIENNOISE is an interesting alternative and Quandary has solid claims.

15:00 Newcastle (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A drop in distance appeared to find ROI DE FRANCE out when finishing third over 7f at Kempton last month. However, the son of Sea The Stars lost little in defeat and is fancied to resume his upward trajectory reverting to 1m. The hat-trick seeking Storm Star is 5lb higher than his ready C&D triumph in mid-January and another bold bid is forecast. Andrew Balding's colt may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of fellow progressive rivals Destructive and Symbol Of Light.

Several runners look interesting. Top of the list is STORM STAR, ahead of Destructive.

15:35 Newcastle (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having finished a good third at Southwell 12 days ago, Diligent Harry must enter calculations sporting first-time blinkers. The seven-year-old has scored in two of three outings at this venue and he isn't taken lightly, but MARSHMAN gets the vote. Karl Burke's charge has thrived since being gelded and didn't get the rub of the green on his staying-on third in the Cammidge at Doncaster last month. Reverting to handicap company, compensation could be in the offing. Fivethousandtoone and The Caltonian are the pick of the remainder.

Heathcliff still appeals as being ahead of his mark but FIVETHOUSANDTOONE bolted up in this race last year and can repeat the feat.

16:07 Newcastle (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Charlotte's Web finished just over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork in the trial for this contest at Lingfield in February and is likely to be on the premises. However, a 5lb rise makes life tougher so it may pay to side with SMART HERO. James Tate's four-year-old didn't have to come out of second gear to complete a double at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and that performance made him still look ahead of his mark, despite being 9lb higher now. Glen Buck has only tasted defeat once in five starts and is also noted.

On the back of a useful performance over C&D, OLD HARROVIAN is taken to reverse earlier Southwell placings with Glen Buck.

16:42 Newcastle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ROARING LEGEND is unbeaten in three starts since switching to the Hugo Palmer yard, with his best effort coming when a five-length victor in this class at Lingfield in February. The five-year-old continues his rise in the ranks and can score before a potential tilt at the Yorkshire Cup next month. Wonder Legend accounted for Plage De Havre by just under three lengths over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time and is expected to confirm that form to have a say. Duke Of Oxford is the pick of the remainder.

Wonder Legend must have a chance but PLAGE DE HAVRE (nap) can reverse their Wolverhampton placings. Roaring Legend is feared.

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.
