1	6 1st (6) (2.25/1 -29%) Lattam		2.25 2.25/1(-29%)																															(6) Lattam 2.25/1, Got back on the up when overcoming trouble to land 27-runner Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh (1m) on return in March. Confirmed that improvement when runner-up at Newbury the following month and can resume winning ways with further progress to come. Lightly raced 4yo (3-6 on turf) and respected on AW debut; half-brother to a Tapeta winner.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +44%) Spirit Catcher		5 5/1(+44%)																															(10) Spirit Catcher 5/1, A winner on his reappearance in 2022 (placed on final 2 outings that year) and ran well after 8 months off when second at Redcar (1m) 6 days ago. Can give his running once more as he makes his first start on tapeta. Already due a 1lb rise after finishing second at Redcar six days earlier; shortlisted.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +22%) Alrehb		7 7/1(+22%)																															(3) Alrehb 7/1, Better than ever when winning on tapeta first 2 starts this year, at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on the second occasion. After a couple of lesser efforts on turf, ran up to his best on that surface when not beaten far at Epsom last time. One to note back on all-weather. Record on the AW reads 212511211; very interesting back on Tapeta.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +50%) Symbol Of Light		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) Symbol Of Light 10/1, Progressive sort for Charlie Appleby, completing a hat-trick on tapeta with success on handicap debut at Southwell (8.1f) in January 2022. Has lengthy absence to overcome (has had a wind op), but he could still have more to offer on his stable debut. 3-3 on Tapeta for Charlie Appleby; market informative on stable debut after 518 days off.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 -133%) Al Agaila		14 14/1(-133%)																															(8) Al Agaila 14/1, Solid start to career on turf last summer and took form up a notch on polytrack during the winter, completing hat-trick in Winter Oaks Handicap at Lingfield (10f) in January. Ran below form on return at Nottingham, so needs to resume progress as she makes tapeta debut. Completed a Polytrack hat-trick in the winter but well held on Nottingham return.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Brunch		10 10/1(-25%)																															(1) Brunch 10/1, C&D winner who made a solid return in listed company at Doncaster (1m) in April. Went backwards from that effort when down the field in handicap at Newbury later the same month, but he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Listed winner/smart handicapper who was 2-2 here earlier in career; worth a second look.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +30%) The Turpinator		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) The Turpinator 14/1, Won twice when trained by Tom Ward last year and made an encouraging start for current yard when third at this course (7f) in December. Probably needed the run after 5 months off at Thirsk in May, but may just find others stronger. May have needed last month's return and ran well here in December but has stamina to prove.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 +52%) Isla Kai		12 12/1(+52%)																															(5) Isla Kai 12/1, Having dropped in the weights, took advantage with a game success at Ripon (1m) in April. Not in the same form back in better company on his last 2 starts, though went off too hard in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last week. Others still make more appeal. Has become inconsistent; well held in a novice here in his only AW start.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 -43%) Empirestateofmind		10 10/1(-43%)																															(2) Empirestateofmind 10/1, Improved in the second half of 2022, following success at Thirsk (1m) with a trio of good runner-up efforts. Left his reappearance run behind when second at Newmarket in April, before a rare below-par effort last time. No surprise to see him get back on track. Handicapped to the hilt, being 14lb higher than when second of 13 over C&D last summer.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +25%) What's The Story		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) What's The Story 12/1, Returned to winning ways at Carlisle (7.8f) in May and backed up that effort in a deeper race when third at York 12 days ago. Remains on a workable mark so he can go well again in his current form. Engaged 3.20 Carlisle Wednesday. C&D winner who has been running well on turf lately but takes on several unexposed types.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Lattam struck in the Irish Lincolnshire on his first start of the season and followed that effort up with a top-drawer second at Newbury, with the winner going on to lift the Royal Hunt Cup last week, so he is likely to be bang there off 2lb higher. However, SYMBOL OF LIGHT is unbeaten on the all-weather and was brought from Godolphin for 60,000gns at the Horses In Training Sale in October. If he retains his ability after 17 months off, he can pick up where he left off. Eilean Dubh and Empirestateofmind are also in contention.

LATTAM got back on the up when landing the Irish Lincolnshire on his return, doing very well to overcome trouble in-running, before finding only the subsequent Royal Hunt Cup winner Jimi Hendrix too strong at Newbury next time. He is taken to get the better of Eilean Dubh who produced his best effort of the year on his latest outing, with What's The Story completing the shortlist.

This can go to ALREHB whose record on the AW reads five wins and three seconds from nine attempts.

1	7 1st (7) (16/1 +20%) Mr Strutter		16 16/1(+20%)																															(7) Mr Strutter 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Catterick (7f, good) 45 days ago, not ideally placed. Respected. 12 wins but only one in his last 23 outings; stiff 1m looks on the limit of his stamina.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +8%) Reclaim Victory		6 6/1(+8%)																															(2) Reclaim Victory 6/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 35 days ago, nearest finish. Worthy of consideration. C&D winner and staying-on fourth over 7f here five weeks ago; return to 1m is a plus.
3	11 3rd (11) (40/1 -186%) Wowshesomthingelse		40 40/1(-186%)																															(11) Wowshesomthingelse 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to improve markedly if she's to feature. Makes her handicap/AW debut at a low level; breeding suggests she may be capable of better.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 -10%) Dr Rio		11 11/1(-10%)																															(4) Dr Rio 11/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Good eighth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. On a handy mark. 5lb below last winning mark but held since and really needs further than this..
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +14%) Distinction		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Distinction 12/1, One win from 39 Flat runs. Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 7/1) 10 days ago. Not discounted. Running well lately but a record of 1-39 suggests he has more of an each-way shout.
6th	14 6th (14) (16/1 +20%) Don't What Me Boy		16 16/1(+20%)																															(14) Don't What Me Boy 16/1, 11/1, last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to make a solid case for. Made debut in March and well held in six starts; hood removed.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 +33%) Mekbat		8 8/1(+33%)																															(1) Mekbat 8/1, 66/1, good fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Well treated on best form, so claims if he can build on latest effort. 0-9 but signs of encouragement on a couple of occasions for this yard; each-way shout.
8th	8 8th (8) (6.5/1 -18%) Our Dickie		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(8) Our Dickie 6.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. 5/4 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Enters calculations. Mainly running well on turf lately and has run well on Tapeta; claims.
9th	13 9th (13) (8.5/1 -70%) Annalee Lass		8.5 8.5/1(-70%)																															(13) Annalee Lass 8.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 6/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Lawrence Mullaney. Can't be ruled out. Two wins in the spring, including over C&D; not out of it on debut for new trainer.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 -27%) Fanzone		14 14/1(-27%)																															(3) Fanzone 14/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 6/1) 45 days ago. Likely to bounce back. Went close at Bath in April but has regressed since and now 1-23.
11th	5 11th (5) (4/1 +47%) Agonyclite		4 4/1(+47%)																															(5) Agonyclite 4/1, C&D winner. Winner here in March. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 57 days ago. Started the season well and might bounce back after a break. C&D winner in March and went close in a 0-70 at Pontefract next time, but poor latest.
12th	10 12th (10) (50/1 +24%) Nazca		50 50/1(+24%)																															(10) Nazca 50/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap (150/1) at this course (7.1f) 90 days ago, running on. Up against it. Out of the frame all nine starts and plenty to prove back from another three months off.
13th	12 13th (12) (33/1 +34%) Eva Rosie		33 33/1(+34%)																															(12) Eva Rosie 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. A little promise in her first four starts but beaten a long way at Nottingham last time.
14th	9 14th (9) (6.5/1 -18%) Red Command		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(9) Red Command 6.5/1, Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 10/3) 31 days ago. Should give his running once more and is still relatively unexposed. 0-10 but has twice run well since returned to the Flat last month; worth a second look.

15:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Our Dickie failed to justify favouritism when filling the runner-up spot at Hamilton, but he shouldn't be dismissed as he steps back into a handicap. However, DISTINCTION has posted some solid efforts since returning to action in April, with the latest coming when he was beaten less than two lengths into fourth at Wolverhampton, and he ought to go very close off the same mark. Agonyclite is a C&D winner and should be respected.

RECLAIM VICTORY has been heading back in the right direction recently and wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Chelmsford last month. This track is more to her liking (has won over C&D), so she's preferred to the in-form Our Dickie, with Red Command also on the shortlist.

C&D winner RECLAIM VICTORY (nap) shaped as though she would appreciate the return to 1m when a staying-on fourth over 7f last time.

Others more persuasive. Won 6f maiden for new yard; good 6f handicap form on Tapeta/turf; return to 5f could suit.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -20%) Desert Games		4.5 4.5/1(-20%)																															(4) Desert Games 4.5/1, Found improvement, in first-time visor, when close second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 18/1) 18 days ago, finishing well. 3 lb rise fair and holds strong claims. Not clear run when promising 2nd over 5f on turf latest; respected back on Tapeta.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +45%) Thankuappreciate		1.5 1.5/1(+45%)																															(1) Thankuappreciate 1.5/1, Posted another creditable effort when second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 10 days ago. Races off same mark on tapeta debut and must enter calculations. Sole win in 6f novice; weighted to find a handicap but slow starts cost him; AW debut.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -21%) Borough		40 40/1(-21%)																															(7) Borough 40/1, Last of 5 in handicap (11/2) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, finding little. Others preferred. Has 5f form on Tapeta; high in weights so far but having first run in 5f AW handicap.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -83%) Mistamac		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Mistamac 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Fairly treated if return to AW sparks revival in form. Showed up well when 3rd over C&D on final 2yo start; may improve in this first AW handicap.
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Beelzebub		5.5 5.5/1(-22%)																															(3) Beelzebub 5.5/1, Course winner who returned to form when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration. Won handicap debut over 6f here; interesting candidate for 5f; cheekpieces fitted.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Family Ties		40 40/1(-150%)																															(5) Family Ties 40/1, 9/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 47 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Won 6f turf novice last summer; has not proved well treated in handicaps so far.

16:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

DESERT GAMES appeared to appreciate the application of a first-time visor when a never-nearer second at Beverley and with the winner of that contest finishing a solid third off 6lb higher since, a 3lb rise for Richard Fahey's gelding looks more than fair. Thankuappreciate arrives in good heart after staying on to fill the runner-up spot over 6f at Windsor, although the drop to 5f may count against him so course winner Beelzebub is seen as a bigger threat.

DESERT GAMES upped his form a notch when second on handicap debut at Beverley earlier this month and remains low mileage. He is fancied to go one better here. Thankuappreciate and Beelzebub rate the principal dangers.

Cruise and DESERT GAMES are respected back on Tapeta, with marginal preference for the latter.

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Powerful Response		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(7) Powerful Response 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Gambled-on but failed to meet expectations when ninth of 10 on handicap debut at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 9/4) 44 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Worth market check again. Our of the frame in all four starts; needs something extra.
2	5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Original Thinker		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(5) Original Thinker 7.5/1, Some encouragement when fifth over C&D on return and hasn't convinced with her stamina over 1m on her last 2 outings. Could go closer here dropped back to 7f. 5lb lower than when running creditably over C&D on stable debut last month.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +29%) Fortuitous Star		10 10/1(+29%)																															(9) Fortuitous Star 10/1, In the frame all 5 starts in nurseries late last year but is probably vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. Off 8 months. Proved consistent from last summer onwards; should stay 7f but she may need the run.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +11%) Highfield Viking		2 2/1(+11%)																															(4) Highfield Viking 2/1, Landed gamble when improving to score in 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) on return but wasn't quite in the same form when only mid-field at Ripon last month. Too early to write off from this mark nevertheless. Half-brother to stable star Highfield Princess; stepping back up a furlong may suit.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -25%) Malinheadsearovers		10 10/1(-25%)																															(6) Malinheadsearovers 10/1, Improved when third of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 50/1) 49 days ago. Opening mark looks fair and he's not discounted on handicap debut. Creditable third on his Thirsk return last month; worth a second look on handicap debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (16/1 +27%) Dresden Green		16 16/1(+27%)																															(11) Dresden Green 16/1, Best effort this season when third of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 80/1) in May but ran below form at Carlisle last time. Others more persuasive. Ten-race maiden who has run with some credit the last twice, but more is still needed.
7th	2 7th (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Run Cmc		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(2) Run Cmc 4.5/1, Close second of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 12/1) on penultimate outing and shaped as if still in form in deeper contest at Ayr last time. Makes tapeta debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Held when hampered at Ayr on Saturday; this stiff 7f may be too stiff a test; blinkers on.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -12%) Techno Lady		28 28/1(-12%)																															(10) Techno Lady 28/1, Showed more when third of 11 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on her penultimate start at 2 yrs but found herself bogged down in heavy ground at Leicester on next outing. Worth market check after 8 months off. Mixed bag in six starts last year but the stable has won two of the last three runnings.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -65%) Starshot		33 33/1(-65%)																															(1) Starshot 33/1, Fair form in novice/nurseries for George Boughey last season but has since left that yard for 4,000 gns and is best watched after 9-month absence. Makes his stable debut after nine months off; may well come on for it.
10th	3 10th (3) (12/1 +0%) Bowland Prince		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Bowland Prince 12/1, Could hardly have shown any less when last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 38 days ago.

11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 -82%) Balmaha		20 20/1(-82%)																															(8) Balmaha 20/1, Back to form on second start for this yard when fifth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 35 days ago, though didn't look particularly cooperative. Cheekpieces on 1st time but others are more persuasive. Better last time and she wouldn't need to improve much to make an impact; cheekpieces on.

17:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

HIGHFIELD VIKING wasn't quite at his best over 6f at Ripon last month, but John Quinn's charge should appreciate this return to 7f on Tapeta and he deserves another chance. Powerful Response was unable to justify strong support when down the field on his handicap debut at Wetherby in mid-May, but it's too soon to be writing him off and he's feared most, ahead of Run Cmc, who has first-time blinkers applied.

Without much obvious competition for pace, a chance is taken that RUN CMC will be able to get a positive position from his wide draw and build on the promise shown at Wetherby on his penultimate outing now fitted with blinkers. Highfield Viking can be given another chance to build on his return success at Doncaster, whilst Original Thinker can make a greater impact dropped back to 7f.

It may be worth taking a chance with ORIGINAL THINKER who ran with credit over C&D last month and is now 5lb lower.

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.
