17:45 Newcastle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SYNERGISM has impressively notched a Kempton double and, despite having to shoulder a 6lb penalty for the latest of those wins, he looks the one to beat. Rock N Roll Pinkie had both Fast Fred (third) and Zimmerman (fifth) behind when scoring at York and she must enter calculations, although zero wins from eight starts on the all-weather is a slight concern. Irish raider Lagoon Nebula merits consideration following a solid placed effort at the Galway Festival, while runaway Pontefract winner Captain Potter also deserves a mention.

The progressive Synergism might well go in again but fellow 3yo HATYSA could prove troublesome.

18:15 Newcastle (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Richard Hughes won this contest last year and has a definite chance with Newbury scorer Circus Of Rome, but preference is for unexposed handicap debutant GRAN DESCANS. Twice a winner from three starts, Harry Charlton's colt looks to be learning on the job and he's potentially a fair bit better than this opening mark of 88. Kempton runner-up Ivatt is turned out quickly before a 2lb rise comes into play and another solid effort beckons. Great Bedwyn and Peaky Blinder are others to note.

Frankel colt GRAN DESCANS has won his last two and is taken to complete a hat-trick on his handicap debut.

18:45 Newcastle (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TELEPATHIC appears to have improved for stepping up to this trip, recording placed and win efforts at Newbury and Doncaster respectively, and it's also worth noting that he has struck on the all-weather before. In a race where plenty have questions to answer, he looks the most solid option. Bragbor has an absence to overcome, but two performances over 1m here have been encouraging and an opening mark of 80 looks potentially lenient. Salamanca City, Mr Mistoffelees and Golspie are others to keep an eye on.

The very lightly raced 4yo BRAGBOR displayed considerable promise over 1m here earlier this year and may relish this step up in trip.

19:15 Newcastle (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Al Shabab Storm went down by just half a length at Wolverhampton and the assessor only put him up 1lb, so he is one to watch out for. Short Final is an interesting contender on his first appearance for the Stuart Williams yard, but the vote goes to ELDRICKJONES. The six-year-old, who hit the crossbar at Thirsk on his most recent outing, has struck over C&D three times in the past and remains on a workable rating.

Four-time course winner ELDRICKJONES was a neck second at Thirsk this month and can return to winning ways back at his favourite track.

19:45 Newcastle (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BRIGHT only found one too good at Haydock last month and the Mark Loughnane-trained five-year-old was victorious in this contest 12 months ago. He remains feasibly treated and looks the one to beat. Lion's House was far from disgraced in third at Musselburgh last time and is likely to be thereabouts off an unchanged rating. Monks Dream is next best.

The handicapper has given MONKS DREAM a helping hand on AW and he can prove too strong for the unexposed Pixie Diva.

20:15 Newcastle (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Tremolo should cope with a 3lb rise after he successfully reverted to a mile at Southwell. However, this is deeper and he needs another step forward. Flag Of St George also bids to complete a three-timer, but stepping up a furlong after Chepstow requires more off his new mark. Of greater interest is the recently-revitalised LIR SPECIALE, who runs off 15lb below his last winning rating and has a fair chance of giving Brian Ellison back-to-back victories in this race.

A chance is taken on TALIS EVOLVERE who had run well in some deep handicaps before contesting one of the Shergar Cup races.

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

EYE OF DUBAI showed more of his old sparkle with a good second at Ripon and could be tough to deal with if striding forward on his all-weather debut. With a potentially advantageous high draw, the John & Sean Quinn-trained gelding could be ideally berthed to seize the initiative as events unfold. Next along in the stalls is the unexposed Storm Free, whose Nottingham success was promising. Last-time Yarmouth winner Tuco Salamanca and Irish hope Barbapapa also have big parts to play.

Tuco Salamanca is sure to be popular but ARCTIC THUNDER (nap) is due a change of luck and can prove himself to be ahead of his mark.

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.
