1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -82%) Akkadian Thunder		10 10/1(-82%)																															(5) Akkadian Thunder 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Roger Varian when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, finishing with running left having been snatched up over 1f out. Could just be worth chancing on the back of that. Ran better than his final position on his Wolverhampton comeback; open to improvement.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/1 -43%) Feel The Need		10 10/1(-43%)																															(10) Feel The Need 10/1, Quirky sort. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 2½ lengths sixth of 14 to Outrun The Storm in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, finishing with running left. Lurking on a potentially lenient mark if new yard can find the key to him. Two promising runs over C&D for new yard this spring, hitting traffic each time; player.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 +25%) Outrun The Storm		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(9) Outrun The Storm 9/2, Not at his best towards the end of last season but eased in weights and proved determined back from 6 months off when landing a C&D handicap 17 days ago, edging ahead again near line. Claims once more nudged up 3 lb. 3lb rise looks fair and he'll be dangerous again if allowed his own way, which is possible.
4	4 4th (4) (7/2 +30%) Dawn Of Liberation		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(4) Dawn Of Liberation 7/2, Winless last season for Richard Hannon but made a solid start on AW for new yard, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, running on. Not out of things back down in trip. On a competitive mark for his new yard; this trip looks a minimum now though.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +40%) Another Investment		6 6/1(+40%)																															(2) Another Investment 6/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 15/2) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort on the back of 5 months off. One of 3 runners for Nigel Tinker but both career victories have come at 6f. Three solid efforts to his name round here, all over 6f, and should go well again.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -75%) Zapphire		14 14/1(-75%)																															(7) Zapphire 14/1, Successful on handicap debut at Haydock (7f) last summer and improved a little more when third of 8 in a C&D handicap on final start a month. Could easily have more to offer as a 4-y-o on the back of just 5 career starts. Could yet be capable of better and is one to consider back from seven months off.
7th	6 7th (6) (17/2 +15%) Abruzzo Mia		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(6) Abruzzo Mia 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 9/1, 4½ lengths tenth of 14 to Outrun The Storm in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter. Looked to find this mark beyond him behind three of these last time; needs more.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -25%) Ron O		10 10/1(-25%)																															(1) Ron O 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (8f, 11/4) 51 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. Most wins have come over 1m; inconsistent lately and little margin for error off this mark.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -79%) As If By Chance		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) As If By Chance 25/1, Dual 6f winner on turf last summer who ran well at huge odds on the back of 5 months off when fourth of 14 to Outrun The Storm in handicap at this C&D (150/1) 17 days ago. Boasts a consistent record over C&D without winning; trainer saddles two others.
10th	3 10th (3) (7/1 +22%) Theme Park		7 7/1(+22%)																															(3) Theme Park 7/1, 7f AW winner for Sir Michael Stoute who ran his best race for present stable (having been gelded) when second at York (7.8f) in September. Not in same form at Kempton final start but he remains low-mileage on AW and not one to write off on seasonal bow. Not much luck with one thing and another last year but this trip looks a bare minimum.

19:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Outrun The Storm warrants respect having made all in a 14-runner affair over track and trip last month. However, the six-year-old didn't have much to spare that day and a 3lb higher mark could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on the lightly-raced ZAPPHIRE. Julie Camacho's filly finished last year's campaign with a respectable third over this C&D and 2024 could prove fruitful for the lightly-raced four-year-old. Dawn Of Liberation and As If By Chance are also noted.

Claims can be made for plenty here but AKKADIAN THUNDER shaped better than the bare result following 6 months off/starting out for David O'Meara at Wolverhampton 25 days ago and he could just be worth chancing to build on that effort down in trip. Dawn of Liberation has made a solid start for Ruth Carr and is respected, with Zapphire and Outrun The Storm next best. Feel The Need is another worth monitoring following an eye-catching run over C&D last time.

The lightly raced AKKADIAN THUNDER found everything conspiring against him on his comeback/stable debut and gets the nod.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +30%) Marcello Si		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(8) Marcello Si 7/2, Won twice here in January (over C&D on second occasion). Shaped better than result when 4¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Brother Dave in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 5/1) 33 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Major player. Won twice here in January, but has a bit to find with Brother Dave on recent meetings.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -60%) Odd Socks Havana		4 4/1(-60%)																															(2) Odd Socks Havana 4/1, Gained a fifth course success when making it back-to-back wins in 9-runner handicap here (8f, 5/1) a week ago. Carries a penalty but he can remain competitive in his current form. Five wins here and 5lb higher in hat-trick bid; still a player in his current form.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 +68%) Darker		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(9) Darker 9/2, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Stepped up on reappearance when third at this C&D in April, but not quite in the same form when sixth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 0-19 so the switch to blinkers will need to make a difference.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +46%) Brother Dave		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(3) Brother Dave 7/2, Off the mark at Southwell (7.1f) in March and followed up at the same C&D 15 days later. Left with too much to do when 6¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Angel of Antrim in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, so he could bounce back. Well behind Angel Of Antrim in his hat-trick bid last time; this may be run more to suit.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +25%) Jems Bond		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Jems Bond 12/1, Five-time course winner, but 14 runs since he last got his head in front. Below form last 2 starts, 6¾ lengths seventh of 11 to Angel of Antrim in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Last five wins have come here, but losing run now 14 and was behind two of these last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +30%) Anif		7 7/1(+30%)																															(4) Anif 7/1, Five-time course winner, though it's 13 runs since his last victory. Failed to build on promise of previous run when fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at this course (8f) a week ago, but he's not written off from his career-low mark. Five wins here and 20lb below last winning mark, but opposable on balance.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -65%) Billian		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) Billian 33/1, Little impact in 3 starts this year, in first-time visor, typically slowly away when eleventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Has work to do. 3-42 and recent efforts don't suggest his strike-rate is about to improve.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +21%) Broxi		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Broxi 11/1, Returned to winning ways in first-time blinkers at this C&D in March. However, failed to repeat that effort when last of 9 in minor event (15/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 50 days ago, doing too much too soon. C&D winner last month but last at Southwell a week later; not sure what to expect.
9th	5 9th (5) (80/1 -142%) Grand Style		80 80/1(-142%)																															(5) Grand Style 80/1, Showed fair form in France but offered little in 4 starts for Alexandra Dunn, last of 10 in handicap (150/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 3 months ago. Switch to new yard need to spark a revival. Beaten one rival in four starts since arriving from France; best watched on stable debut.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ODD SOCKS HAVANA got up by a length in this grade over a mile here on his latest outing and he has a 5lb penalty to carry for that triumph. Rebeeca Menzies' six-year-old continues in fine form and he doesn't look one to take on in his bid for a hat-trick. Angel Of Antrim rarely runs a bad race and his most recent third over 1m here puts him into contention once more, while Marcello Si is also worth a second look.

MARCELLO SI has been in good heart this year, the forcing tactics just a shade overdone when fourth at Southwell on his latest outing, so he is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this venue. Odd Socks Havana arrives bidding for a course hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, while Angel of Antrim could also be thereabouts once more.

Preference is for ANGEL OF ANTRIM (nap) who recorded a tidy success over C&D on his penultimate start.

1	11 1st (11) (9/2 +36%) Fircombe Hall		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(11) Fircombe Hall 9/2, Gained a fourth C&D victory in March. Wasn't seen to best effect when 4 lengths seventh of 10 to Dandys Gold in handicap (10/3) at this C&D a week ago, headway when no room 1f out. Could be in the mix. Placed in two handicaps since C&D classified win in March; probably in the mix again.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -20%) Magic Gem		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Magic Gem 12/1, Making first start since leaving David C. Griffiths, ran at least as well as ever when third of 13 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D in September. Has since left Bryan Smart. Capable of getting involved if ready to go on return. Close third over C&D in September; makes stable debut after 235-day absence.
3	10 3rd (10) (28/1 -75%) Flavius Titus		28 28/1(-75%)																															(10) Flavius Titus 28/1, Soon left behind a lesser effort when fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D when last seen in October. Cheekpieces back on as he makes his return from 6 months off. Ran okay here in October but not seen since and best known as a turf performer.
4	8 4th (8) (9/2 +36%) Noble Captain		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(8) Noble Captain 9/2, Both wins at this C&D, with latest success in March. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 10 in handicap here (7/2) 39 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Shortlisted. Dual C&D winner this year; not quite at best lately but current mark probably workable.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -186%) Protest Rally		40 40/1(-186%)																															(1) Protest Rally 40/1, Ended last year out of form, but shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces on 1st time. Safely held on all three stable starts; cheekpieces added today.
6th	13 6th (13) (8/1 -100%) Higher Law		8 8/1(-100%)																															(13) Higher Law 8/1, Again ran well when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 10 days ago, finishing strongly. Remains a maiden but he could be ready to get off the mark in his current mood. 0-24 now but pretty consistent this year, and went close at Wolverhampton recently.
7th	12 7th (12) (13/2 -30%) Dandys Gold		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(12) Dandys Gold 13/2, Capitalised on her reduced mark when recording a third C&D victory in 10-runner handicap here (13/2) a week ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort under a penalty. Kept on well for C&D win a week ago; effectively only 3lb higher under penalty.
8th	7 8th (7) (66/1 -164%) West End Lass		66 66/1(-164%)																															(7) West End Lass 66/1, Fared no better making her handicap debut when tenth of 13 at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 66/1) 10 days ago. Remains early days but much more needed. Weakened into tenth when 66-1 for recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton.
9th	5 9th (5) (9/1 +10%) Absolute Dream		9 9/1(+10%)																															(5) Absolute Dream 9/1, C&D winner. With headgear reapplied, returned to winning ways at Southwell in March. Not discredited when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 25/1) 17 days ago. Can give another good account. Didn't really fire here last month but has claims if judged on his two March runs.
10th	4 10th (4) (7/1 +42%) Captain Vallo		7 7/1(+42%)																															(4) Captain Vallo 7/1, C&D winner. It's been a while since his last success, but he was denied a clear run when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/1) 25 days ago. Not discounted having eased further in the weights with visor on first time. Not seen to best effect over 7f last month; reverts to optimum trip on good mark.
11th	2 11th (2) (4/1 +43%) Tillybob		4 4/1(+43%)																															(2) Tillybob 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped well on first run since leaving David Loughnane when fifth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, short of room again late on. One to consider dropped in grade. Unexposed filly who made very encouraging stable debut over C&D in March; interesting.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 -106%) Kaidu		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Kaidu 33/1, After 3 months off, first run since leaving Archie Watson when sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 25/1) 13 days ago. Needs to leave latest effort well behind back on all-weather with hood applied. Struggled (albeit on soft turf) on recent stable debut and now 0-10.

21:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MAGIC GEM made the frame in this grade over track and trip when last seen in September and he has since switched to the Michael Herrington stable. The son of Garswood goes off an unchanged rating and he could be the one to beat if fully wound up for his reappearance. Tillybob outran her long odds when not beaten far in fifth over this C&D in March and she has been dropped 2lb for that display, which puts her in contention. Last-time-out winner Dandys Gold is another to note.

HIGHER LAW has made the frame on 3 of his last 4 starts since the cheekpieces have been reapplied, finishing well when second at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, and he can continue his good run of form to open his account. Tillybob made an encouraging stable/seasonal debut at this C&D in March and could be the main danger, ahead of Noble Captain.

The most interesting runner is arguably low-mileage filly TILLYBOB, who made an encouraging stable debut over C&D in March.

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.
