16:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +42%) Just Hiss	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(2) Just Hiss 3.5/1, C&D winner. 11/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 21 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Won this last year and solid second of six at Thirsk last time; one to consider.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 +0%) Point Louise	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Point Louise 8/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, firm, 7/1) 15 days ago. Hood on 1st time and booking of Serena Brotherton/return to the AW are positive factors, so she's not ruled out. Two-time Tapeta winner who could settle better now in a hood; capable of a bold show.
3	14 3rd (14) (7.5/1 +38%) Braes Of Doune	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(14) Braes Of Doune 7.5/1, 13/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, not clear run. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Promising signs in these cheekpieces & Jack Nicholls has made an excellent start to career.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 +21%) Bushfire	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Bushfire 11/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 6/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and capable of making his presence felt, if indeed he puts his best foot forward. Went close on AW last December but has struggled on both starts this season.
5th	13 5th (13) (12/1 +14%) Oscar Doodle	12 12/1(+14%)	(13) Oscar Doodle 12/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Chelmsford City in May. Last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm, 4/1) 15 days ago. Each-way squeak returned to the AW. Two-time course winner who may not have been suited by the return to turf a fortnight ago.
6th	9 6th (9) (4.5/1 +44%) Prince Ali	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(9) Prince Ali 4.5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 11 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities. Close third at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and this C&D winner could be bang there once more.
7th	10 7th (10) (9/1 -13%) The New Marwan	9 9/1(-13%)	(10) The New Marwan 9/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, firm) 23 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Went close at Redcar last month but inconsistent and soundly beaten at Nottingham latest.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 +20%) Whiskey And Water	40 40/1(+20%)	(11) Whiskey And Water 40/1, Second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f, good, 11/1) when last seen in April 2021, no match for winner. 0-12 on the Flat and best watched. First run since April 2021 but trainer can ready one after an absence; not a forlorn hope.
9th	5 9th (5) (25/1 +0%) Pessoa	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Pessoa 25/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 33/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 60 days ago. Up in trip and he's likely to find a few too good once more. Two winter wins at Wolverhampton for new yard but well beaten the last twice.
10th	4 10th (4) (16/1 -167%) Luna Magic	16 16/1(-167%)	(4) Luna Magic 16/1, 9/4, won 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. More needed up 4 lb in this more competitive race. Won under Brodie Hampson for the eighth time at Chepstow a fortnight ago; respected up 4lb.
11th	6 11th (6) (8.5/1 +47%) El Jad	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(6) El Jad 8.5/1, Second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) when last seen in September. Still, remains winless following 11 attempts and needs to step up if he's to buck that trend in this contest. Absent since last September but went close over C&D when last seen and is not ruled out.
12th	7 12th (7) (14/1 -87%) More Diamonds	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) More Diamonds 14/1, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (13/2) on debut for new yard at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 79 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip and, having dropped another 2 lb, she's not discounted. Return to form needed but she's one to watch in the betting on her second stable start.
13th	12 13th (12) (40/1 +39%) Wheal Kitty	40 40/1(+39%)	(12) Wheal Kitty 40/1, Last of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Thirsk (12f, good) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she needs to find some improvement. Well beaten the last twice and the first-time cheekpieces need to inspire a revival.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LUNA MAGIC was a good winner over the stiff 1m2f at Chepstow, scoring by two lengths. The Archie Watson-trained mare, who goes well for Brodie Hampson, will have to negotiate a 4lb rise in the ratings, but that may prove lenient. Connections of Diffident Spirit will be hoping he can go one better than his second at Windsor last time, while similar applies to El Jad, who hit the crossbar here on his final appearance of 2022.

The available evidence suggests that DIFFIDENT SPIRIT is more of a force on turf but his AW handicap mark reflects that and he gets the nod on the back of a highly creditable effort at Windsor. Prince Ali was a close third in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton recently and, provided the headgear works equally well second time round, he shouldn't be far away. More Diamonds is probably capable of better than she's been able to show thus far and is also shortlisted, along with Just Hiss.

A first win may well be imminent for BRAES OF DOUNE, who has shown encouraging signs in these cheekpieces the last twice.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Nelson Gay	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(3) Nelson Gay 5.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Weighted to go well off a falling mark. 3rd at Catterick and this two-time Tapeta winner should be suited by today's stiffer test.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Dandy Dinmont	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(2) Dandy Dinmont 2.75/1, C&D winner. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive. Unfavourably drawn at Haydock last time and has a good record over this C&D.
3	8 3rd (8) (7.5/1 +38%) Newyorkstateofmind	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(8) Newyorkstateofmind 7.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 16/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f, firm) 6 days ago. Merits consideration if back to his best. Disappointing last Saturday but in good form previously and is not ruled out.
4	14 4th (14) (22/1 -10%) Ben Macdui	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Ben Macdui 22/1, Course winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (18/5) at ipon (5f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Continues to drop down the weights but he was soundly beaten at Ripon last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (7.5/1 +0%) Prodigious Blue	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(6) Prodigious Blue 7.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 3/1, below-par fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 36 days ago so needs to bounce back. Won over C&D last month on AW debut and may have more to offer now back here.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 -64%) Little Muddy	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Little Muddy 9/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in May. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. In the mix. Two wins this spring and good fourth of 16 at Doncaster last time; could be a player.
7th	13 7th (13) (18/1 +18%) Belsito	18 18/1(+18%)	(13) Belsito 18/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. No forlorn hope. 3yo for whom things may click again at some point but he was disappointing three weeks ago.
8th	5 8th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Show Me Show Me	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(5) Show Me Show Me 6.5/1, C&D winner. 22/1, ninth of 17 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Encouraging signs at Beverley last time and this C&D winner is well handicapped.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 -65%) Jarvis	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Jarvis 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Others appeal more. Needs to raise his game but the return to this C&D could work in his favour.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -178%) Blazing Hot	50 50/1(-178%)	(10) Blazing Hot 50/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in December. Seventh of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Needs more now. Mixed on turf this summer for new yard but he's 0-19 on grass as opposed to 6-21 on AW.
11th	12 11th (12) (14/1 -75%) Elzaal	14 14/1(-75%)	(12) Elzaal 14/1, 5-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in March. Off 7 weeks before coming in last of 10 to Prodigious Blue in handicap at this C&D 52 days ago. Can bounce back now. Disappointing over C&D on May 9 but had a break since and was prolific over C&D previously.
12th	4 12th (4) (40/1 -43%) Murbih	40 40/1(-43%)	(4) Murbih 40/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Last of 17 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 50/1) 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Still needs a couple of these to falter. Unable to beat a rival on turf the last twice but the AW is his game; could go well.
13th	11 13th (11) (16/1 +36%) Run This Way	16 16/1(+36%)	(11) Run This Way 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 55 days ago. Others are preferred. Well handicapped on last year's best 6f form but hasn't been at the same level this year.
14th	7 14th (7) (20/1 -82%) Libertus	20 20/1(-82%)	(7) Libertus 20/1, Unseated rider start in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago. Good Lingfield second prior to that so he can give a good account. Bumped into a thriving winner when going close at Lingfield on last completed start.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE MUDDY has been running well over 6f of late and this stiff 5f appears likely to unlock some more improvement. Seb Spencer's sprinter was a good winner at Ayr on her penultimate appearance and after performing well again for fourth when upped to this mark at Doncaster subsequently, she is worth sticking with. Dandy Dinmont should also be thereabouts if he's more alert at the start, while Nelson Gay isn't easily ruled out.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and NELSON GAY is fancied to capitalise on a good mark and end a losing run for his current yard. Little Muddy is feared most in her attempt to bag a third win of 2023 ahead of Libertus who appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Nigel Tinkler may hold the key to this race and PRODIGIOUS BLUE is preferred to stablemate Dandy Dinmont.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 5f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (12/1 -33%) Vintage Clarets	12 12/1(-33%)	(12) Vintage Clarets 12/1, 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give another good account. Up just 2lb for recent Chester win and he's a possible player on AW debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -25%) Korker	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Korker 10/1, 8/1, bit below form 4 lengths sixth of 10 to Regional in listed race at Haydock (5f, firm) 20 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Can be slowly away but he can be given a chance on this season's best form; AW debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -60%) Fine Wine	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Fine Wine 12/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. 4 lengths seventh of 10 to Regional in listed race (20/1) at Haydock (5f, firm) 20 days ago. Something to find on form. Front-runner who is a two-time C&D winner and capable of a bold bid.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -43%) Makanah	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Makanah 10/1, Creditable fifth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, firm, 28/1) 44 days ago. One for the shortlist. Ran well over 6f at York last time and 5f seems to suit better; third in this last year.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 -17%) Mondammej	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Mondammej 7/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 11/2) 12 days ago, finishing well. Not taken lightly. On a 17-race losing run but has gone close in his last two handicaps and is effective here.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +40%) King Of Bavaria	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) King Of Bavaria 12/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. 5/1, last of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 12 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back. Up and down on last few starts but won at Windsor and has run well here; not discounted.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -65%) Arecibo	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Arecibo 33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 10¼ lengths last of 10 to Regional in listed race at Haydock (5f, firm, 28/1) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with work to do. On a handy mark on form as recent as April but hasn't shone on his last three starts.
8th	14 8th (14) (28/1 -12%) The Thin Blue Line	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) The Thin Blue Line 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Last of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 20/1) 5 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won at Musselburgh in April but form on his last three starts hasn't been up to scratch.
9th	13 9th (13) (40/1 -150%) Elegant Erin	40 40/1(-150%)	(13) Elegant Erin 40/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Beverley (5f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 9 months so needs to hit the ground running. Highly progressive last season with four wins; in a warm race on return but not ruled out.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 +13%) Intrinsic Bond	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Intrinsic Bond 14/1, Course winner. 15/2, last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner who went very close two starts ago but has struggled otherwise this season.
11th	8 11th (8) (3.5/1 +36%) Bedford Flyer	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(8) Bedford Flyer 3.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at York (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Can go well again. Running well on turf and there's a suspicion he's slightly better on Tapeta; interesting.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 -100%) Look Out Louis	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Look Out Louis 28/1, C&D winner. Nineteenth of 20 in handicap (25/1) at Epsom (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Out of form on last two starts but has had wind op and is below last winning mark.
13th	3 13th (3) (2.5/1 +44%) Badri	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(3) Badri 2.5/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 27 days ago, driven out. Expected to be bang there. Three-time C&D winner who has been in the form of his life of late; obvious contender.
14th	11 14th (11) (50/1 -100%) One Night Stand	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) One Night Stand 50/1, Ridden aggressively when fading fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not discounted. Good fifth in Epsom Dash but below par since and Polytrack may be preferable to Tapeta.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Badri scored over 6f at Epsom's Derby meeting but will have to overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings for that neck success, which may leave him susceptible to some better-treated rivals such as MONDAMMEJ. Antony Brittain's charge found Listed company beyond him at Haydock but bounced back when touched off over this distance at Doncaster and, off the same mark, he appears sure to go close again. Vintage Clarets is just one other to consider.

BADRI is enjoying a fine season yet still looks weighted to bag a fifth win raised 4 lb for his latest Epsom success which is proving strong form. Mondammej is a long time without a win but feared most on the back of his good Doncaster second. Vintage Clarets and Intrinsic Bond complete the shortlist in an open sprint.

Three-time C&D winner BADRI (nap) is in the form of his life, having won a quality handicap at Epsom on Derby day, and can win again.

18:35 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +33%) Al Husn	3 3/1(+33%)	(1) Al Husn 3/1, Smart filly who won all 3 starts last season, including a red-hot valuable Newmarket fillies/mares handicap over this trip in October. Fine return in the Group 2 Dahlia on reappearance and didn't need to improve to land the odds in listed company a month ago. Improving 4yo who was a Listed winner at Ayr last month and is respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.73/1 -38%) Nashwa	0.73 0.73/1(-38%)	(4) Nashwa 0.73/1, Winner of French Oaks at Chantilly and Nassau at Goodwood last summer and nothing wrong with a couple of in-frame efforts at the highest level to end the campaign. Looked a bit rusty on her reappearance but she's the class act here on AW debut. May have needed reappearance run and she won two Group 1s last year; stand-out form claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -20%) One For Bobby	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) One For Bobby 12/1, Winner of first 2 starts at Gowran for Johnny Murtagh last May and went on to post a couple of good efforts in more exalted company for that yard. Transferred to Hughie Morrison and better than ever when successful in listed company at Nottingham last month. Listed winner at Nottingham on stable debut and she has each-way claims.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 +45%) Misty Dancer	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Misty Dancer 11/1, Progressive 3-y-o and confirmed she's useful back on the AW for latest win at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. Strong traveller who looks worth a shot at this level. Won 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford and could have more left in the tank; each-way claims.
5th	9 5th (9) (80/1 -142%) Heavenly Breath	80 80/1(-142%)	(9) Heavenly Breath 80/1, Runner-up at Group 3/listed level over 1m in France. Did too much too soon when well held in 1m German Group 3 and while she showed a bit more at Goodwood, that level still well short of what's required here. Fair Listed fourth at Goodwood last time but needs something extra in first-time blinkers.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +56%) Star Fortress	11 11/1(+56%)	(7) Star Fortress 11/1, Sea The Stars filly who confirmed debut promise when taking Chelmsford novice (10f) and showed improved form upped significantly in grade when third in a listed event at Newmarket last summer. Limitations perhaps exposed after but she's in top hands ahead of reappearance. Listed third last July; lightly raced but improvement needed to threaten on her return.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -79%) Belt Buckle	50 50/1(-79%)	(2) Belt Buckle 50/1, Half-sister to 7f winners Brigham Young and Cosmo Sherpa. Dam, winner up to 9.4f (including Dance Design Stakes) and made successful start herself despite signs of greenness at Wolverhampton in February (9.5f). Fared as well as could be expected upped in listed class last month and this even harder. Promise on both starts in 2022 but returns from an absence in a hot race; it's a big ask.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 +0%) Rousay	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Rousay 50/1, Listed winner at Salisbury in August and just as good when fourth at that level on the AW final 3-y-o start. Probably needed recent reappearance but big career best needed. Listed winner last August but needs to come on plenty for reappearance outing.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 +11%) Bright Diamond	16 16/1(+11%)	(8) Bright Diamond 16/1, Useful at 2 (third in Prestige at Goodwood and Fillies' Mile at Newmarket). Outclassed in the Oaks second run back this term and this more her level with cheekpieces on. Bang there 2f out before fading in the Oaks; not ruled out now back down in distance.

LTO Selection:

18:35 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

NASHWA steps out of Group company for the first time in well over a year and given she gets into this without any penalties, she should be able to make her class tell and get her season back on track before a potential defence of her Nassau Stakes crown at Goodwood. Al Husn was a cosy winner of a Listed affair at Ayr and appears the biggest threat to the selection, although One For Bobby got off the mark at the first time of asking for Hughie Morrison at Nottingham and can't be discounted.

NASHWA established herself at a higher level than this as a 3-y-o, winning a brace of Group 1 contests and with her reappearance run unlikely to be lost on her, she can outclass these switched to the AW. Al Husn is clear second choice on form, with One For Bobby another to consider on the back of a sparkling stable debut at Nottingham.

Last year's Prix de Diane and Nassau winner NASHWA can get back on the scoresheet, with Al Husn a stand-out danger.

19:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +8%) Miami Thunder	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Miami Thunder 11/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray but turned out quite quickly on the back of that heavy defeat. Potentially on a good mark and change of scenery may do him good.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +26%) Swiss Ace	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(1) Swiss Ace 3.33/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. 9/4, fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Course winner over 7f; 6f perhaps too sharp last time but 1m might be too far.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 -9%) Vindobala	3.5 3.5/1(-9%)	(6) Vindobala 3.5/1, Unreliable individual. 4-time course winner. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 47 days ago, though he was denied a clear run. Below par on turf the last twice but had been running well on the AW.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 -82%) Anif	10 10/1(-82%)	(4) Anif 10/1, Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 52 days ago and likely to give it another good go back from a short break. Five course wins to his name and again wasn't far away here last time.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +9%) Mr Squires	10 10/1(+9%)	(7) Mr Squires 10/1, Southwell novice winner in December. Fifth of 13 in novice event (12/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 89 days ago. Opening mark asks for more but he's unexposed. Course winner but rather watch off this mark on handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +9%) Love Your Work	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Love Your Work 5/1, Good second of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 13/2) 17 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Shortlist material from just 1 lb higher. Ran well behind one ahead of his mark at Southwell 17 days ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (3/1 +33%) Centre Court	3 3/1(+33%)	(8) Centre Court 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 19 days ago. This is slightly easier back on the AW. Front-runner with form figures of 221 at this venue; 1m2f appeared a stretch last time.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LOVE YOUR WORK has gone well at this track in the past and looks to be on a workable mark having run with credit on his last two starts. Five-time course winner Anif is showing no signs of slowing down, despite his advancing years, and appears to have solid each-way credentials along with Mr Squires, who is having his first start in handicap company and an opening mark of 80 looks fair, with this step up in trip likely to suit.

LOVE YOUR WORK did very well to stick around for as long as he did having helped set a brisk pace at Southwell 17 days ago, and on that evidence, he's ready to add to his AW tally. Swiss Ace drops slightly in class and is a big threat, with the tricky Vindobala dangerous if she's on her game.

The suggestion is multiple AW winner LOVE YOUR WORK who chased home one ahead of its mark at Southwell

LTO Selection:

19:45 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Lowton is sure to be popular having got off the mark in game fashion at Leicester but, conceding upwards of 7lb all round, he is passed over in favour of CHELSEA SQUARE. The Ralph Beckett-trained gelding failed to build on his promising introduction when down the field on quick ground at Chepstow, but he was reported to have bled and is given another chance. Valtellina ran much better than her odds predicted when fifth at Newmarket on debut and improvement is likely.

LOWTON had a bit in hand when confirming the abundant promise of his Doncaster debut at Leicester last time and with plenty more to come he's capable of conceding weight all round. Valtellina seems sure to step up on her opening run, with Chelsea Square a danger away from firm ground.

Having caught the eye when fifth on last month's debut at Newmarket, VALTELLINA earns the vote on her second start.

1	14 1st (14) (8/1 -45%) My Roxanne	8 8/1(-45%)	(14) My Roxanne 8/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in April. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Merits respect. In good form at 1m recently but she will need a good pace back at this trip.
2	8 2nd (8) (2.75/1 +58%) Variety Island	2.75 2.75/1(+58%)	(8) Variety Island 2.75/1, Course winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, good second of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 9 days ago, running on. LIkely to be on the premises again. Went close over 6f here last week and is a big player if he can repeat that form.
3	6 3rd (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Global Tycoon	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(6) Global Tycoon 5.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, first run since leaving Chris Dwyer when good second of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 49 days ago. Solid claims. Made a bold bid here (8.6f) on his stable debut last month; respected back in trip.

Plenty to prove at present. Has struggled switched to handicaps this year and has plenty to prove.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 -7%) Bold Territories	8 8/1(-7%)	(3) Bold Territories 8/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Not completely dismissed. C&D winner who ran well over 1m here last week; dangerous back in trip.
6th	13 6th (13) (33/1 -32%) Love Destiny	33 33/1(-32%)	(13) Love Destiny 33/1, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/2) 36 days ago. Well treated if he can take another step in the right direction. Showed signs of a revival at Chelmsford and could be dangerous if he can build on that.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -33%) Louis Treize	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Louis Treize 16/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. 12/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip. Hard to know if he'll build on that. All wins at 5f/6f and has uninspiring record of 0748067 beyond sprint trips.

Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 days ago. Others more persuasive. 5yo who is in fair form and has claims if she gets the breaks.
11th	11 11th (11) (7/1 +7%) Na Scoitear	7 7/1(+7%)	(11) Na Scoitear 7/1, Winner at Southwell in April. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fair third at Wetherby latest and he looks interesting on this drop back to 7f.
12th	7 12th (7) (33/1 -65%) Vivency	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Vivency 33/1, 15/2, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f). Off 7 months. Likely to need the run. On reduced mark but she returns from 224 days off and others are preferred.

One to be interested in. Dual 6f winner who still has something to prove at this trip; others look stronger.

LTO Selection:

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

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

GLOBAL TYCOON found only a resurgent rival too strong on his stable debut at Wolverhampton last month and John Butler's four-year-old looks the one to be with off the same mark now returned to 7f. Variety Island posted his best effort of the year when second here over 6f last week and is due to go up 1lb after this so is feared most. My Roxanne and Lockdown Lass are others to note in an open-looking contest.

This is quite competitive but TOPO CHICO is used to racing in a better grade of handicap and arrives on the back of a good run at Brighton 10 days ago, so she gets the nod over Global Tycoon, who made a positive start for John Butler at Wolverhampton last time. Variety Island is another one to consider.

An open race in which last week's course runner-up VARIETY ISLAND gets the vote ahead of Global Tycoon and Topo Chico.

LTO Selection:

20:52 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BOMB SQUAD once more filled the runner-up berth when weakening late on at Wolverhampton and a return to his last winning distance of 6f may work the oracle. Connections of Enderman reach for a first-time visor, with the five-year-old likely to be on the scene once more at this level. Eldeyaar's mark continues to slide and he is another to note after not enjoying the smoothest of passages at Dunstall Park last time.

DREAM TOGETHER is handicapped to win now and shaped better than the result at Thirsk (up with strong pace and hampered late) last time, so he's worth taking a chance on. Yazaman is another one to consider despite his poor strike rate and Bomb Squad is likely to run his race again.

After a very encouraging handicap debut over 7f, AZEEZAN may benefit from today's drop back in trip and gets the vote.

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.
