1	3 1st (3) (14/1 +13%) Calling The Wind		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Calling The Wind 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, good second of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 11 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Extended excellent record of placed returns at Royal Ascot; rarely seen on AW these days.
2	10 2nd (10) (4.5/1 -50%) Golden Rules		4.5 4.5/1(-50%)																															(10) Golden Rules 4.5/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when winning 7-runner handicap (9/1) at Kempton (16f), always holding on. Off 108 days and this is tougher but not totally dismissed. 638 days off before better than ever to win from the front at Kempton (2m, AW) in March.
3	15 3rd (15) (22/1 +33%) Aztec Empire		22 22/1(+33%)																															(15) Aztec Empire 22/1, Pair of AW wins at up to 2m at Kempton this year but having only his second outing on turf when a remote sixth on very testing ground at Newbury last month. Could bounce back. Looked promising three runs back (2m on Kempton AW) but two backward steps since.
4	17 4th (17) (4.5/1 +50%) Nathanael Greene		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(17) Nathanael Greene 4.5/1, Mainly on the up last season (a dual winner) and he has posted solid efforts at Ascot and Goodwood (14f) this May. Needs considering now his stamina is drawn out more. The cheekpieces return today for first time this term and 2m holds possibilities.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +0%) Adjuvant		6 6/1(+0%)																															(8) Adjuvant 6/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 43 days ago, staying on well. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form despite a 4 lb rise. AW debut but 2m has to be worth a go on the latest evidence and the 4lb rise isn't harsh.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -14%) Rainbow Dreamer		25 25/1(-14%)																															(2) Rainbow Dreamer 25/1, Eleven wins from 39 Flat runs. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 9-runner minor event (10/1) at this C&D 85 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not discounted. Won big C&D race on Good Friday; fifth in this in 2020, fair bit better than 2021 and 2022.
7th	5 7th (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Omniscient		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(5) Omniscient 7.5/1, Progressive on the whole and was firmly back on the up when scoring readily at Southwell (1m4f) 9 months ago. Yard is among the winners so he's very much one to consider now stepping up to 2m. Set for further progress this season and the big question is over this extra 4f.
8th	16 8th (16) (50/1 +0%) Sir Chauvelin		50 50/1(+0%)																															(16) Sir Chauvelin 50/1, 4-time course winner. Only tenth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, firm, 50/1) 7 days ago but veteran is the sort to bounce back round here. 11yo; third in this in 2018, tailed off last two editions; soundly beaten last Saturday.
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -64%) Vino Victrix		18 18/1(-64%)																															(11) Vino Victrix 18/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign, runner-up in Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Not disgraced when 11th in Chester Cup (18.6f, soft) 50 days ago and weighted to go well on his tapeta debut. Cesarewitch second; soft ground may well have been against him on both starts this term.
10th	13 10th (13) (40/1 +50%) Themaxwecan		40 40/1(+50%)																															(13) Themaxwecan 40/1, Useful sort who has got back on track of late, twelfth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Finished 17th and 12th in the last two editions of this race, both from stall 2.
11th	4 11th (4) (28/1 +15%) Berkshire Rocco		28 28/1(+15%)																															(4) Berkshire Rocco 28/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. Bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. More is needed. Won on Southwell AW (2m) this January but his form has subsided somewhat since.
12th	19 12th (19) (100/1 +0%) Green Team		100 100/1(+0%)																															(19) Green Team 100/1, Useful performer at best but comfortably held all 4 starts in Meydan this year for present stable and no upturn for return to these shores when well held at Ascot and Espom. Needs a big revival over new trip but he is down to a dangerous mark for this AW debut.
13th	18 13th (18) (66/1 +18%) Matchless		66 66/1(+18%)																															(18) Matchless 66/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in May. 8/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago, having run of race. Significantly up in trip but he's no forlorn hope. In good form, including 1m4f on Flat; acts on this track but 2m on Flat asks something new.
14th	7 14th (7) (8/1 -23%) Post Impressionist		8 8/1(-23%)																															(7) Post Impressionist 8/1, Low-mileage Teofilo gelding who signed off for 2022 with a career-best win in 14-runner handicap at York (13.8f, good to soft) in October, forging clear. 8lb higher now and off 8 months but he's interesting with this step up to 2m a big plus. Shapes very much as if 2m will suit; open to further improvement on this reappearance.
15th	6 15th (6) (9/1 +0%) Zoffee		9 9/1(+0%)																															(6) Zoffee 9/1, C&D winner. Good sixth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good, 16/1) 11 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Merits consideration off an unchanged mark. Won the Vase on this card last year in good style; no shortage of big-race credentials.
16th	20 16th (20) (33/1 +18%) Mountain Road		33 33/1(+18%)																															(20) Mountain Road 33/1, Ended last season on the up, winning a pair of Chelmsford handicaps at up to 2m, but only sixth of seven in 2m Goodwood handicap last time. Needs to bounce back. Won on Chelmsford AW (2m/1m6f) on final two outings last term; not so good on turf in 2023.
17th	1 17th (1) (25/1 -14%) Rajinsky		25 25/1(-14%)																															(1) Rajinsky 25/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in April. Good fifth of 16 in handicap at Chester (18.6f, soft, 14/1) 50 days ago. Needs considering. Third and fourth in the last two runnings of this race; career-best form on latest outing.
18th	12 18th (12) (12/1 -9%) Law Of The Sea		12 12/1(-9%)																															(12) Law Of The Sea 12/1, Good fourth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Can give another good account. Fourth in Chester Cup, second at Haydock and fourth over 2m4f at Royal Ascot; player.
19th	14 19th (14) (28/1 +15%) Good Show		28 28/1(+15%)																															(14) Good Show 28/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.8f, firm, 4/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut with more required. Probably retains potential and stamina in pedigree, so very interesting on this AW debut.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ZOFFEE is only 2lb higher than when a neck second in the Chester Cup and he confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort at Royal Ascot subsequently. The seven-year-old won the consolation race for this event 12 months ago and another good run can be expected. Calling The Wind finished in front of the selection when runner-up in the Ascot Stakes so cannot be discounted. Post Impressionist and Adjuvant are progressive four-year-olds who have to be of interest, while Law Of The Sea and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist.

William Haggas' low-mileage 4-y-o POST IMPRESSIONIST signed off for 2022 with an emphatic York success and can take another sizeable step forward on his first go over 2m to claim his biggest prize yet. Sir Mark Prescott's returning Omniscient is another unexposed stayer going the right way and he rates a big threat, while Cesarewitch runner-up Vino Victrix is weighted to have a say if building on his Chester Cup eleventh. Adjuvant and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist in a cracking Plate.

The high draw may complicate matters for Good Show, who is therefore second choice behind the in-form stayer LAW OF THE SEA.

1	8 1st (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Adeb		6.5 6.5/1(+46%)																															(8) Adeb 6.5/1, Two course wins at the start of the year, the latter over this trip. His last 2 runs have been a bit disappointing but it's possible a return to this venue will see him get back on track. Below best on Polytrack/turf the last twice but progressive on Tapeta previously; possible.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Zip		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(5) Zip 4.5/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in January. Also successful at Southwell in February. Given a short break since his below-form twelfth of 22 in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, soft), ridden too aggressively. Capable of bouncing back. Mid-division in Victoria Cup last time but in top form on Tapeta earlier in the year.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +46%) The Gatekeeper		3.5 3.5/1(+46%)																															(4) The Gatekeeper 3.5/1, Made a winning return from long absence over C&D in March and went in again at Newmarket in May. Found Buckingham Palace all too much at Ascot last week but capable of making presence felt in these calmer waters. Down the field at Royal Ascot but won in good style over C&D in March on sole AW run.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Air To Air		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Air To Air 4.5/1, Good second over C&D in January. Tongue strap on first time, not in the same form when last of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 5 months later. Return to AW needs to help. Second over C&D two runs ago but has finished last on three of his last four starts.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 -20%) Lord Of The Lodge		12 12/1(-20%)																															(1) Lord Of The Lodge 12/1, Smart AW performer. Best turf run for a long time when fourth of 19 in 7f York handicap in May but not in the same form back there since. A smart effort will be needed from his higher AW mark. Unable to threaten on turf of late but the AW is his thing nowadays and he's respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Wobwobwob		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(7) Wobwobwob 4.5/1, Recorded a couple of creditable in-frame efforts on his return to action in April and shaped as if still in form when sixth at Chester latest. Back from a 7-week break with his yard going well. Contender under Marquand. Not seen to best effect at Chester latest but in fair form before; might not be far away.
7th	10 7th (10) (8.5/1 +39%) Utilis		8.5 8.5/1(+39%)																															(10) Utilis 8.5/1, Achieved fairly useful form over 6f/7f at 2 without managing to get his head in front. Makes his reappearance in a competitive race against older and battle-hardened rivals. Betting perhaps the best guide. 0-6 in last year's 2yo campaign but showed considerable promise and is not ruled out.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +0%) Marshal Dan		12 12/1(+0%)																															(6) Marshal Dan 12/1, Needs to bounce back from below-par efforts on his last 2 outings but his stable's good record at this venue makes him a dangerous one to discount. Reappeared with good third at Redcar but beaten a long way on his last two starts.

LTO Selection:

---

14:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ZIP was well held at Ascot last time but his previous form on the all-weather was very encouraging and he's only 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell in February. Air To Air is closely matched with the selection based on their meeting over C&D in January and he should not be discounted. Safe Voyage edges out Adeb and Wobwobwob to be best of the rest.

Perhaps former C&D scorer SAFE VOYAGE can roll back the years and resume winning ways on the back of a pair of good efforts in highly competitive handicaps on turf in May. Three-time C&D winner Zip was better than the result in the Victoria Cup at Ascot last time and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Wobwobwob, whose trainer Adrian Keatley has had his string in excellent form lately.

The veteran SAFE VOYAGE has run creditably in competitive turf handicaps on his last two starts and is taken to return to winning ways.

Dam, winner up to 5.5f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 5f-6f winner Tone The Barone. 5/2, green when sixth of 7 in novice at Sandown (5f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago.

Dam unraced out of useful 11.7f/12.4f winner Crystal Diamond. 6/1, third of 9 in novice at York (6f, good to firm) on debut 35 days ago. Form pick and should improve. Third to an impressive winner at York first time out; that was over 6f.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -71%) Stanley Spencer		6 6/1(-71%)																															(5) Stanley Spencer 6/1, Foaled March 30. £50,000 yearling, Iffraaj colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Trillium and useful winner up to 9f Mohawk King. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. £50,000 yearling; there's pace in the pedigree and stable gets 2yo winners first time out.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -79%) Mehigburn		50 50/1(-79%)																															(4) Mehigburn 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 6 in novice (40/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Finished last of six on debut in a conditions stakes at Beverley (5f, good to firm; 40-1).
6th	9 6th (9) (7.5/1 -15%) Zaman Daar		7.5 7.5/1(-15%)																															(9) Zaman Daar 7.5/1, Foaled April 29. 70,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

BATAL ZABEEL put in a promising display when third on his debut at York in May and Kevin Ryan's colt could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Markakol failed to reward favourite-backers on his racecourse bow at Sandown but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Stanley Spencer is closely related to some high-class performers, including last year's Flying Childers winner Trillium, and is the pick of the newcomers.

MARKAKOL was too green to do himself justice at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but he's evidently held in high regard so is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary novice. Batal Zabeel fared best of the newcomers when third at York and is the obvious threat, with Stanley Spencer making the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

Batal Zabeel is feared but MARKAKOL is chanced in the hope he can leave his Sandown form behind him now he's hooded.

1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +50%) Nobel		2.5 2.5/1(+50%)																															(4) Nobel 2.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with more needed. Won first two races; disappointing the next twice but things may click again at some point.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Qaasid		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(6) Qaasid 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 9/2) 43 days ago. Can give another good account. Has continued to run well since winning over C&D in February; could be thereabouts.
3	8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 +35%) Innse Gall		6.5 6.5/1(+35%)																															(8) Innse Gall 6.5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Ayr (10f, good) 38 days ago. Bit more is still needed though. Runner-up over C&D in March and good third at Ayr last time; could be in the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Thundering		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(2) Thundering 4.5/1, Course winner. 10/1, last of 15 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 45 days ago so needs to bounce back. Course winner who is well treated on last season's best but hasn't shone this season.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -43%) Mr Curiosity		40 40/1(-43%)																															(1) Mr Curiosity 40/1, First run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when below form eighth of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy, 66/1). Off 7 months. Has work to do. Didn't run badly in November Handicap on sole stable start but he's been off again since.
6th	5 6th (5) (5.5/1 -57%) Persist		5.5 5.5/1(-57%)																															(5) Persist 5.5/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 7/1), slowly away. Off 9 months so needs to hit the ground running. Well-bred, lightly raced 4yo who could have more to offer if able to break more alertly.
7th	7 7th (7) (8.5/1 +29%) Cockalorum		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(7) Cockalorum 8.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in June. Good fifth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Pontefract (10f, good) 6 days ago. Needs considering. Won two in a row at Ripon and has continued in good form; might not be far away.
8th	9 8th (9) (5.5/1 -72%) Shimmering Sands		5.5 5.5/1(-72%)																															(9) Shimmering Sands 5.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/4) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago with plenty in hand. Big shout on AW debut. Did it very readily at Doncaster and a 6lb rise could underestimate his dominance.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Several have decent chances and the likes of Cockalorum, who has been placed twice from three starts at this circuit, and Innse Gall, who has also proven to be effective on the Tapeta here, are not to be underestimated. However, PERSIST makes most appeal as she was really consistent last year and shaped well off this mark in a deeper race at Newmarket last October.

SHIMMERING SANDS ran out an easy winner at Doncaster and can follow up if proving as good on tapeta. Qaasid is feared most, ahead of Cockalorum.

A 6lb rise may not be enough to stop SHIMMERING SANDS following his very cosy win at Doncaster last time and he can follow up.

Won over C&D in January; fair fifth at Wolverhampton recently but needs something extra.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -50%) Vallamorey		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Vallamorey 18/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Winner at Doncaster in April.

16:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LEXINGTON KNIGHT has held his form lately and, off just 3lb higher than last month's Doncaster success, he is a strong fancy to cope with top weight in this company. Richard Hannon's gelding has been admirably consistent since being fitted with a tongue-tie and this looks well within his reach given the resurgent form posted this season. Billy Bathgate and The Dancing Poet both get plenty of weight from the selection and may give him the most to think about.

LEXINGTON KNIGHT remains on a workable mark raised only 1 lb for his very good Thirsk second so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways at the chief expense of Billy Bathgate who could now build on his breakthrough Ayr success. In-form pair Golden Vintage and The Dancing Poet complete the shortlist.

Not many of these appeal. The consistent topweight LEXINGTON KNIGHT arrives in fine form and is preferred over The Dancing Poet.
