1st (6) Yakhabar (7/1 +22%)
Yakhabar

7/1(+22%)
(6) Yakhabar 7/1, C&D winner in February. 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on and he's opposable on balance.
Off the mark at the 13th attempt over C&D in February, but not matched that form since.

2nd (1) Gastronomy (11/4 +21%)
Gastronomy

11/4(+21%)
(1) Gastronomy 11/4, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D when last seen in November. Down another 1 lb and he's very much one to consider.
0-12 and something to prove back from five months off.

3rd (4) Spirit Of Ash (3/1 +14%)
Spirit Of Ash

3/1(+14%)
(4) Spirit Of Ash 3/1, Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (7/1) 32 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this looks tougher.
Record over C&D reads 11241; likes to come late off a solid pace but that isn't guaranteed.

Tafsir

12/1(-60%)
(2) Tafsir 12/1, Three wins from 17 runs last year. Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 6/1) on latest start 138 days ago. 0-8 on AW and she looks vulnerable.
In the frame in five of her seven visits here; 138-day absence the unknown; watch market.

Tiberio Force

15/2(-7%)
(7) Tiberio Force 15/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in minor event (6/4) at this course (10.2f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and he's not without an each-way chance.
1-19 but 1lb lower than when second at Wolverhampton last October; race may be run to suit.
6th
6th (5) Desert Quest (5/1 +0%)
Desert Quest

5/1(+0%)
(5) Desert Quest 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 9/2, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 11 to Spirit of Ash in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago, not knocked about. Place possibilities.
C&D winner who has run well here the last twice, but may again find a few too good.

Starfighter

9/1(-125%)
(3) Starfighter 9/1, Course winner. 28/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago. Reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture here.
A player on form, but far from sure to get the solid pace he needs.

Broctune Azure

80/1(-300%)
(8) Broctune Azure 80/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 18/1) 13 days ago. Looks up against it.
0-10 and hasn't shown enough since returning in January to suggest this will be her day.

13:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Spirit Of Ash sets the standard based on her C&D victory a month ago but marginal preference is for STARFIGHTER. The eight-year-old was third off this mark in a similar event at Kempton last time and that form gives him a big chance here. Desert Quest should not be underestimated and he edges out Yakhabar to be best of the rest.

GASTRONOMY has slipped to an attractive mark and shaped as though working his way back to form when fifth over this C&D on his latest appearance in November. If able to build on that back from a break, he could be the answer. Starfighter didn't do much wrong at Kempton last time and is second choice ahead of Tiberio Force.

It may be worth chancing TIBERIO FORCE who is on a fair mark on last autumn's form and should be all the better for his recent return.

Midnight Lion

15/2(+53%)
(4) Midnight Lion 15/2, One win from 3 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (16.2f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and while he would have a serious chance off this reduced mark if able to get back on track, others make more appeal.
His mark continues to fall but for good reason, as he's struggled this year.

2nd (12) Scarriff (150/1 -275%)
Scarriff

150/1(-275%)
(12) Scarriff 150/1, 22/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when last of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago, lost all chance at start. Up in trip. Readily passed over.

Busby

7/2(+13%)

We Still Believe

5/1(+9%)
(7) We Still Believe 5/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in September. 11/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, no match for winner. Looks competitive on form.
Three-time course winner and good second off this mark over C&D latest; solid claims.
5th
5th (8) Golden Echo (12/1 +14%)
Golden Echo

12/1(+14%)
(8) Golden Echo 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden at this course (8f, 100/1) 24 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and she needs to raise her game.
All three runs over 1m here; makes handicap debut off lowly mark; interesting contender.
6th
6th (10) Ana Emaraaty (10/1 +17%)
Ana Emaraaty

10/1(+17%)
(10) Ana Emaraaty 10/1, Course winner. Winner here in March. 33/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip and shouldn't be too far away.
Sole win came over 1m here; 7f here last time was inadequate; effective at this trip.
7th
7th (11) Mr Coco Bean (28/1 -75%)
Mr Coco Bean

28/1(-75%)
(11) Mr Coco Bean 28/1, Forty one runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in minor event (15/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, not much room. Likely to find one or two too good.
10yo who hasn't won for ages, but promising run when unlucky 5th in C&D classified latest.
8th
8th (5) Dougies Dream (11/2 -22%)
Dougies Dream

11/2(-22%)
(5) Dougies Dream 11/2, Course winner. 13/2, third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and he has to feature on the shortlist off this 2 lb lower mark.
Two-time course winner who is well treated and won on his third start back last year.
9th
9th (3) Bulls Aye (16/1 -60%)
Bulls Aye

16/1(-60%)
(3) Bulls Aye 16/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in October. 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations.
Two 1m1f wins on turf last year and may have needed recent comeback run over 7f here.
10th
10th (1) Moush (14/1 -56%)
Moush

14/1(-56%)
(1) Moush 14/1, 15/2, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 173 days. Back up in trip on debut for new yard and he's not without hope.
0-12 for Channon yard but on a handy mark for this stable debut and not ruled out.
11th
11th (9) Mr Heinz (15/2 -67%)
Mr Heinz

15/2(-67%)
(9) Mr Heinz 15/2, Course winner. Winner here in October. 5/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f), needing stiffer test. Off 150 days and steps back up in trip. Should make his presence felt.
In good form over 1m here last autumn when last seen; well worth another go at 1m2f.
12th
12th (6) Indication Rocket (11/1 -38%)
Indication Rocket

11/1(-38%)
(6) Indication Rocket 11/1, Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (12.4f) when last seen 6 months ago. Remains 3 lb above winning mark here last spring and looks vulnerable.
Front-running course winner; form can be mixed, but capable of bold bid if fully tuned up.

14:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BUSBY has made the frame on both starts so far this year and that includes a narrow second over C&D a couple of weeks ago. The veteran could provide his supporters with some compensation here, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings. We Still Believe is an obvious threat having also hit the crossbar over this track and trip last time, while Dougies Dream completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to DOUGIES DREAM, who posted his best effort for a while when third over a mile here three weeks ago and he may well exploit this reduced mark now stepping back up in trip. We Still Believe was fit from hurdles when a good second over this C&D and he has to be feared, while Moush will be a player if fully tuned-up and Bulls Aye is also capable of a bold show.

A chance is taken on the 10yo MR COCO BEAN, who was a promising and unlucky fifth over C&D recently.

(2) Aerospace 11/8, Thrice-raced winner. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when landing an 8-runner minor event (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, plenty in hand. Further progress likely now handicapping.
Made an impressive return from a long absence at Wolverhampton last month; respected.

Loyal Touch

10/1(-150%)
(5) Loyal Touch 10/1, 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb rise easy to digest and he has to enter calculations.
2lb higher than when making most over C&D last month; a player.
3
3rd (4) Toshizou (18/1 -140%)
Toshizou

18/1(-140%)
(4) Toshizou 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and would be a danger to all off this reduced mark if bouncing back to his best.
1-19; may have needed his Doncaster return 15 days ago, but will need to step up quickly.

4th (7) Westernesse (5/2 +29%)
Westernesse

5/2(+29%)
(7) Westernesse 5/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 14 days ago, running on. Not long with this yard and, likely to come on for that reappearance spin (first run for 9 months), he is a strong candidate.
Fnished third on his return from 283 days off over C&D a fortnight ago; contender.
5th
5th (6) Bashful (14/1 -17%)
Bashful

6th

Arkendale

4/1(+47%)
(1) Arkendale 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (8f, heavy). Off 6 months and back up in trip for this AW debut. May find one or two too good.
Makes AW debut after 191 days off having been gelded in the meantime; market informative.
7th
7th (3) Tarjamah (150/1 -838%)

(3) Tarjamah 150/1, First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when fourth of 7 in minor event at Dax (10.4f, good, 52/10) last summer. That was her sole start for Francois Rohaut and she is opposable back from 9 months off on debut for another new yard.
Tapeta winner for the Gosdens but unplaced in three starts since; stable debut.

14:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The well-bred AEROSPACE showed plenty of promise for previous connections and he won impressively on his debut for Archie Watson at Wolverhampton last month. Given that effort followed a 690-day break, the five-year-old merits the utmost respect on his handicap bow here. Toshizou is on a workable mark if leaving his Doncaster effort last time well behind, while Westernesse is another with claims.

AEROSPACE clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but the 16,000 gns new connections paid for him looks like money well spent judged on his impressive comeback success in a Wolverhampton novice. Given that he was returning from almost two years off, the 5-y-o is entitled to come on for that and he may well find the necessary improvement to follow up on this handicap debut. Westernesse shaped well on his reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago and he is the clear main danger ahead of Toshizou.

The choice is AEROSPACE (nap) who was so impressive when making a successful return from a mammoth absence at Wolverhampton last month.

(1) Whisky Mcgonagall 5/1, One win from 3 runs last year. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 17/2) 27 days ago. Solid second over this C&D prior to that and, if able to reproduce that level of form, he will surely be in the mix.

15:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Stallone has found a new lease of life since being paired with William Pile and, given the C&D winner is 2-5 under the 5lb claimer, another big run is likely, while Global Humor is dangerously well handicapped and the in-form Hollie Doyle is an eye-catching jockey booking. However, from a handy draw, RAINBOW RAIN looks worth chancing. Tracy Waggot's five-year-old likes to be on the front end and, assuming he can make this a good test, this return to the minimum trip could be a profitable move.

Though he was nearer last than first over C&D on his reappearance, BELSITO nevertheless caught the eye under a sympathetic ride on his first outing for eight months. He will be sharper now and is appealing eased into a 0-65 handicap for the first time. Rainbow Rain will be a threat if ready to roll following a break and he is second choice ahead of Whisky McGonagall.

Having enjoyed a productive campaign last season, featuring three wins (one here), RAINBOW RAIN is taken to make a winning return.

15:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A close second to an all-out Patronage over this course and distance last month, LOUBIERE is an attractive proposition despite being nudged up 1lb for that near-miss. Still unexposed at the trip, the Rebecca Menzies-trained filly got better the further she went that day and, with the memory of that improved effort still fresh, this has come around at the right time. Patronage might struggle to uphold the form on 1lb worse terms, so the less-exposed Northern Cracksman may be more of a threat.

LOUBIERE likely would have overhauled Patronage here last month had she got the gaps sooner and is taken to turn the tables on Nigel Tinkler's charge. Brian Ellison won this race 12 months ago and his Northern Cracksman is another who should go well. Ed Bethell's new recruit Wonderful Lives would also need considering should the betting speak in his favour on handicap debut.

A chance is taken with REDONDO whose two efforts over C&D in February would give him every chance in this company.

16:20 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas always commands respect with his runners at this venue but it is rare for him to introduce a filly of the potential held by ADMIRED HOPE anywhere on the all-weather. A 425,000gns purchase, the selection is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Garswood, among other high-class relatives within the pedigree, and with options on turf possibly limited by the weather, this looks an ideal starting point for the daughter of Galileo. Gunlock and Midnite Storm appeal most from those with previous experience.

Garswood's half-sister ADMIRED HOPE makes obvious paper appeal and can make a winning start for William Haggas, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Midnite Storm and Zain Blue went close in similar company at 2 and should be on the premises if fully primed after 6 months off, while Gunlock is open to progress on the back of last month's C&D debut second.

It makes sense to trust those with experience and both ZAIN BLUE and Midnite Storm ran to a useful level last season.

16:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied over C&D in February and last seen staying on for second over 6f here, MARIE'S JEWEL remains largely unexposed after eight career outings and this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to get off the mark. Odd Socks Havana has shaped well over further here on a few occasions and dropping in trip may suit the son of Havana Gold. The consistent Secret Daay and Southwell runner-up Coconut Bay are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

MARIE'S JEWEL is less exposed than most at this level and might prove the answer to the first division of this 7f handicap having been runner-up here twice in recent months. Odd Socks Havana, Northbound and Captain Vallo are feared most in that order.

The lightly raced 4yo MARIE'S JEWEL has been runner-up here on two of his last three starts and this could be a good opportunity.

17:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to DANDYS GOLD, who has been running with plenty of credit here over a variety of trips and may be ideally suited by 7f on this occasion. The 10-year-old has dropped to a mark 4lb below her last success and that may be enough to see off previous C&D winner Crocodile Power. Sydney Bay shaped encouragingly on his return from wind surgery last month and should also have a big say.

SYDNEY BAY is starting to look well treated, particularly if William Pyle's 5 lb claim is taken into account, so might be worth chancing in this finale. Amaysmont and Crocodile Power are next on the list.

It could pay to chance the stamina of SYDNEY BAY, who kept on nicely over 6f here latest. Crocodile Power may be the main danger.

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.
