1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +15%) Spirit Of Ash		5.5 5.5/1(+15%)																															(7) Spirit Of Ash 5.5/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 15/2, again looked hard ride when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Capable of going well but comes with risks attached. Sole attempt at Newcastle resulted in June success; remains unexposed on this surface.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 +13%) Balqaa		6.5 6.5/1(+13%)																															(2) Balqaa 6.5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip. Chance if able to scale a further revival. Both wins at Newcastle, the latest off this mark last September; interesting back here.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 +30%) Chinese Whisperer		14 14/1(+30%)																															(8) Chinese Whisperer 14/1, Little show in 2 outings this year after returning from near 2-year absence. Can't be fancied. Has achieved little in two runs since returning from lengthy absence.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -230%) Dome Of Stars		33 33/1(-230%)																															(10) Dome Of Stars 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 3 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. With leading yard, so could do better on handicap debut, for all there's been no promise so far. Holds weak claims on form but may do better now handicapping.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 +31%) Two Rivers		11 11/1(+31%)																															(11) Two Rivers 11/1, Unreliable individual. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 6/1) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Difficult ask. 3yo maiden who has possibilities if this switch to AW prompts improvement.
6th	13 6th (13) (5/1 +33%) Ana Emaraaty		5 5/1(+33%)																															(13) Ana Emaraaty 5/1, Step back in right direction when sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago but others are more persuasive in balance. 3yo maiden; ran respectably in two C&D events last month; still unexposed on AW.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 +12%) Casa Luna		22 22/1(+12%)																															(5) Casa Luna 22/1, Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. 16/1 seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Still a maiden but sole start under Hollie Doyle resulted in peak RPR; one to consider.
8th	1 8th (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Ice Shadow		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Ice Shadow 5.5/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. 11/2, went off too hard when fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 15 days ago. Worth treating as if still in form and isn't ruled out. Front-runner of late; chance would improve granted an easy lead and suitable fractions.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -38%) Coconut Bay		22 22/1(-38%)																															(6) Coconut Bay 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Hood back on. Place claims if able to get back to best. 0-9 for current stable; chance partly depends on whether the reapplied hood works.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 -300%) Irv		20 20/1(-300%)																															(3) Irv 20/1, Close second at Nottingham in July. 9/2, below form sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Player if able to bounce back from career-low mark. Rarely wins (just one success since 2019) and was below par here on last AW attempt.
11th	12 11th (12) (12/1 -71%) Zakram		12 12/1(-71%)																															(12) Zakram 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Shaped as if back in form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/1) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly. Well treated on 2yo form; current mark reflects his lesser achievements in 2023.
12th	4 12th (4) (3.5/1 +71%) Calcutta Dream		3.5 3.5/1(+71%)																															(4) Calcutta Dream 3.5/1, C&D winner. Best effort this season when second at Yarmouth in July. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 22/1) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Combination of new headgear and return to Newcastle may prompt a good run.
13th	9 13th (9) (50/1 -150%) Tarnhelm		50 50/1(-150%)																															(9) Tarnhelm 50/1, Three wins from 79 Flat runs. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Far from consistent in recent times and losing spell goes back over three years.
14th	14 14th (14) (40/1 -21%) Stelios		40 40/1(-21%)																															(14) Stelios 40/1, Placed at Beverley in June but has shown little in 4 outings since. Makes limited appeal. Maiden who needs a big revival back on AW.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SPIRIT OF ASH's only career victory to date came over C&D in June and the drop back in trip following her recent effort at Hamilton, combined with the tongue-tie being reapplied, may help her bounce back to form. Ice Shadow is better than his latest performance at Beverley suggests and the four-year-old is capable of a decent showing, while Calcutta Dream and Irv appeal most of the remainder.

Top-weight ICE SHADOW was given an overly aggressive ride at Beverley last month but had been in good form prior, including when scoring at Nottingham, so Alan Brown's gelding makes most appeal. Irv appeals as being potentially well treated and also merits respect, with the lightly-weighted Zakram another to consider.

Preference is for SPIRIT OF ASH, who won a similar event here on her sole Tapeta start. Balqaa is second choice.

Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Zulu Tracker. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner (stayed 6f). Worth noting for a yard that does well with similar types. 15,000gns yearling; respected newcomer from a Newmarket yard that does well here.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +20%) Speed Court		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) Speed Court 4/1, Thrice-raced colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 11 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good, 125/1) 15 days ago. Improved 15 days ago at Yarmouth when 5l behind the highly progressive Lambert.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Chiefman		2.75 2.75/1(+31%)																															(1) Chiefman 2.75/1, Twice-raced colt. Second of 4 in minor event (7/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 26 days ago. Needs to improve. No match for a good horse at Ffos Las but unlikely he faces anything of his calibre here.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 +64%) Pearl Sands		18 18/1(+64%)																															(3) Pearl Sands 18/1, Twice-raced gelding. 50/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Beaten just over 10l in his two starts to date and looks one for handicaps.
5th	2 5th (2) (1.75/1 -7%) Miaswell		1.75 1.75/1(-7%)																															(2) Miaswell 1.75/1, Promising individual. 20/1, second of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) on debut 10 days ago. Likely to improve and should take all the beating. Second at Thirsk when beating all bar the odds-on favourite who is probably decent.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -43%) Amasar		10 10/1(-43%)																															(4) Amasar 10/1, Foaled March 17. 9,000 gns yearling, Masar colt. Interesting newcomer if the market speaks in his favour. 9,000gns yearling; third foal; dam Group-placed 5f 2yo winner (RPR 96).
7th	5 7th (5) (100/1 -52%) Believitanducan		100 100/1(-52%)																															(5) Believitanducan 100/1, Foaled February 6. 25,000 gns foal, 12,000 gns yearling, Make Believe gelding. Half-brother to winner in Italy by Acclamation. 12,000gns yearling; half-brother to Italian 8.5f 2yo/9.7f winner Sopran Modigliana.
7	7 |F| (7) (25/1 -79%) Lunar Cycle		25 25/1(-79%)																															(7) Lunar Cycle 25/1, Foaled March 2. 12,000 gns yearling, Time Test filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 1¼m-21.6f winner Stratum and 2-y-o 7f-1m winner Star Player. Dam 8.3f winner who stayed 1½m. 12,000gns yearling and a half-sister to classy dual-purpose performer Stratum.

18:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MIASWELL ran with a fair amount of promise when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk and the son of Gleneagles has been found a suitable opportunity to go one better. Chiefman was no match for a potentially smart type at Ffos Las and the step up in trip is likely to aid his cause, while Speed Court and newcomer Amasar can fight it out for the minor honours.

MIASWELL shaped nicely on debut and should have enough progress in him to account for this opposition. That said, Speed Court is quite closely matched with the selection in form terms and Placeholder looks a notable newcomer for a shrewd yard, so it's by no means a formality.

Experience may count here. SPEED COURT, Miaswell and Chiefman were all beaten by good prospects on their latest starts.

1	2 1st (2) (9/1 +18%) Havana Prince		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Havana Prince 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ran no sort of race over a longer trip when eighth of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, heavy, 11/1) 36 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Can bounce back. Has failed to build on his Brocklesby effort; down the field in two nurseries.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +69%) Forever Eighteen		5 5/1(+69%)																															(7) Forever Eighteen 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Offered something to work on when sixth of 9 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 80/1) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. One of many contenders who may do better now qualified for handicaps.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 -45%) Polly The Rocket		8 8/1(-45%)																															(1) Polly The Rocket 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) 33 days ago. Yard in good form and market support should be noted on handicap debut. Possible improver now handicapping with Sam James replacing 7lb apprentice.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -118%) Hooray For Hazel		12 12/1(-118%)																															(6) Hooray For Hazel 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, promised more than she delivered when sixth of 11 in nursery at Catterick (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be shortlisted. First-time headgear and switch to AW are possible sources of improvement.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 +40%) Balmanzor		12 12/1(+40%)																															(10) Balmanzor 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 300/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut and has been gelded since last seen. Combination of gelding operation and switch to nursery level may help.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -75%) My Lady Samantha		14 14/1(-75%)																															(4) My Lady Samantha 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ridden with an eye on the future when twelfth of 16 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Makes handicap debut. Likely has a more realistic task on nursery debut; may well improve.
7th	12 7th (12) (25/1 -213%) Lyndsanda		25 25/1(-213%)																															(12) Lyndsanda 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in nursery (25/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shapes as if a bigger effort may be forthcoming; not without hope.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -100%) Lady Of The Garr		16 16/1(-100%)																															(8) Lady Of The Garr 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, failed to improve making handicap debut when fourth of 11 at Catterick (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Remains early days. The only contestant who has Newcastle form (ran well over C&D two starts ago).
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -13%) Miss Rainstorm		18 18/1(-13%)																															(11) Miss Rainstorm 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed little again when eighth of 10 in nursery (18/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not entirely disgraced on penultimate run; the rest of her form is unconvincing.
10th	3 10th (3) (3/1 +54%) Desert Raider		3 3/1(+54%)																															(3) Desert Raider 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, soft) 59 days ago. Makes handicap debut and certainly worth a second look in the betting. Bred to do better; may start to progress now qualified for a mark; possibilities.
11th	5 11th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Tees Warrior		7.5 7.5/1(+6%)																															(5) Tees Warrior 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 26 days ago. May do better now handicapping. Open to improvement now handicapping and back down in trip; one to consider.
12th	9 12th (9) (12/1 +25%) Wichahpi		12 12/1(+25%)																															(9) Wichahpi 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Related to several winners for her stable; may improve markedly on handicap debut.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LADY OF THE GARR has shown a bit of promise since joining the Tracy Waggott team and she must hold every chance if building upon decent efforts over C&D and at Catterick. The daughter of Mehmas remains open to improvement and she gets the vote ahead of Hooray For Hazel and Polly The Rocket, who could be dangerous for an in-form yard.

The market will no doubt prove informative with the majority making their handicap bow, but the tentative vote goes to HOORAY FOR HAZEL, who promised more than she delivered on her first start in a nursery at Catterick 3 weeks ago but now has first-time cheekpieces applied for her all-weather debut. Polly The Rocket, My Lady Samantha and Havana Prince are just a handful of others worth considering.

In a tricky nursery, the suggestion is POLLY THE ROCKET ahead of Tees Warrior.

1	2 1st (2) (10/1 +0%) Child Of Lir		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Child Of Lir 10/1, Ran no sort of race when sixth of 8 on handicap debut (14/1) at Ripon (12f, good to soft) 23 days ago, labouring under 4f out. Significantly back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Runner-up in claimer on sole Irish start; below that form for new yard; headgear on.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +11%) Hidden Code		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Hidden Code 4/1, 9/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs this return to maiden company to spark a revival. Exposed sort but has a fighting chance granted a return to his best form.
3	3 3rd (3) (0.5/1 +50%) Dream Final		0.5 0.5/1(+50%)																															(3) Dream Final 0.5/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 40/1, showed improved form when third of 7 in minor event at this course (7.1f), well positioned. Off 8 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Lots to like for an in-form yard. Solid third at this course when last seen; leading contender on return from absence.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 +64%) Muddagent		18 18/1(+64%)																															(1) Muddagent 18/1, 100/1 and hooded, showed nothing when seventh of 8 in minor event at Redcar (8f, good to soft) on debut 11 months ago, slowly away. Will need to leave that effort miles behind. Absent since an unpromising debut 11 months ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -200%) Aurora Glory		12 12/1(-200%)																															(5) Aurora Glory 12/1, Ran poorly after a 7-week break when eleventh of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (6f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not dismissed if back somewhere near her Redcar third in June. Comparatively exposed but the new trip may have positive effect.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -100%) Jamie's Choice		28 28/1(-100%)																															(6) Jamie's Choice 28/1, Peace Envoy filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Footstepsinthesand. Dam, 1m winner, sister to useful 9.4f-1½m winner Curly out of unraced dam of National Stakes/Phoenix Stakes winner Danehill Dancer. Market check advised. Starts off at an ordinary level but her yard isn't associated with winning newcomers.

19:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The step up in trip can work the oracle for DREAM FINAL as he tries to improve upon a pair of creditable efforts here over shorter. The form of his stable is another plus and, in first-time blinkers, he might have too much for Aurora Glory, who may be a maiden after 11 starts but surely has a race in her. Hidden Code has the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

In a contest that is unlikely to take much winning, DREAM FINAL gets the verdict to make a winning return after 8 months off with first-time blinkers applied for his in-form yard. Aurora Glory and Hidden Code can chase the selection home in that order.

Hidden Code and Aurora Glory are two of the main form contenders but the much less exposed DREAM FINAL is more appealing.

Again ran creditably when second of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago. Sound place claims again. Placed twice at Southwell since returning from break; 5-15 at Newcastle; solid chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +53%) Mumcat		3.5 3.5/1(+53%)																															(5) Mumcat 3.5/1, One win from 32 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Running reasonably prior to last effort, so isn't discounted. Record at this course (24225) suggests she'll pick up prize-money.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +43%) Magic Gem		4 4/1(+43%)																															(4) Magic Gem 4/1, Failed to complete hat-trick when eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David C. Griffiths. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Latest 7f effort suggests he's worth a crack at sprinting; stable debut.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -150%) Frank The Spark		50 50/1(-150%)																															(6) Frank The Spark 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in minor event at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 80/1) 35 days ago. More required on handicap debut. Brother to a four-time winner for his connections; interesting on handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Show Compassion		7.5 7.5/1(-67%)																															(1) Show Compassion 7.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. 5/1, returned to form when third of 10 in handicap at that course (6.1f) 24 days ago. Enters calculations. Likely player provided she transfers her Wolverhampton form back to Newcastle.
6th	11 6th (11) (16/1 +36%) Sharrabang		16 16/1(+36%)																															(11) Sharrabang 16/1, C&D winner. Twenty nine runs since last win in 2021. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 14 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Going through the motions at present. On a lengthy losing sequence and has lost his form recently.
7th	8 7th (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Laertes		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(8) Laertes 3.5/1, Well backed on first run since leaving Michael & David Easterby when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 11 days ago, finishing well having been left poorly placed. Has good chance on pick of form and yard does well with new recruits. Interesting off a reduced mark on second run for new yard; step back up to 6f is a plus.
8th	12 8th (12) (125/1 -150%) Henery Hawk		125 125/1(-150%)																															(12) Henery Hawk 125/1, Modest performer for David & Nicola Barron but has shown nothing for current yard. Maiden; form for current yard is far from compelling.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -150%) Fircombe Hall		40 40/1(-150%)																															(3) Fircombe Hall 40/1, Three-time C&D winner but hasn't been seen since July 2022 and market check advised on return from lengthy absence. Three-time C&D scorer off this sort of mark; absent for 14 months.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -100%) Mutabaahy		66 66/1(-100%)																															(10) Mutabaahy 66/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May but hasn't made much impact in 3 outings since, so others make more appeal. Easily his best strike-rate is at Wolverhampton; only 1-26 here.
11th	14 11th (14) (10/1 +17%) Dresden Green		10 10/1(+17%)																															(14) Dresden Green 10/1, Best effort this season when sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago but likely needs a couple of these to falter if he's to build on that. Maiden; record suggests he's not certain to back up latest effort.
12th	7 12th (7) (7.5/1 -7%) Mai Alward		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(7) Mai Alward 7.5/1, Looked hesistant when third here on penultimate outing and raced too freely when sixth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well over 7f here two starts ago; sole win came at 6f; shortlisted.
13th	13 13th (13) (80/1 -60%) Holly Blackmore		80 80/1(-60%)																															(13) Holly Blackmore 80/1, First run since leaving David O'Meara when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 125/1) 16 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy. Made the frame in first two handicap attempts; not in same form since.

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LAERTES showed enough on his stable debut at Chelmsford to suggest that he has slipped to a reasonable mark, and going back up in distance could be the key to him breaking his maiden at the 12th attempt. A winner at Wolverhampton in July, Show Compassion is a key player, along with Blackcurrent, who has placed at Southwell on his last two starts. Others to note include Magic Gem and Mumcat.

LAERTES had little go right when well backed on his stable debut last time and Mick Appleby's gelding is very much worth another chance, now 8 lb lower than when second at Chelmsford in the spring. Show Compassion chased home a prominently-ridden pair at Wolverhampton on her latest outing and rates as the main danger, with Blackcurrent and Mumcat others to consider.

Off a reduced mark back over 6f, LAERTES may be able to open his account. Mai Alward is second choice.

10	10 (10) (22/1 -57%) Lancashire Life		22 22/1(-57%)																															(10) Lancashire Life 22/1, Sole success came at this C&D back in 2021. 10/1, below form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, rearing leaving stalls. Had made the frame on her previous 3 starts, though. Course winner; place possibilities but has a poor 1-33 strike-rate.
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Nazca		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(1) Nazca 4.5/1, Dropped in trip, opened his account at Chelmsford in August and followed up under a penalty in 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days later. Respected in his current form. 2-2 over sprint trips, both last month, and this bang-in-form 4yo has to be respected.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -67%) Congress		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) Congress 20/1, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (6.1f) in August. Found it tougher under a penalty back in a handicap next time, though, eighth of 12 at the same C&D (10/1) 2 weeks ago. Won at Southwell two starts ago; lesser run there last time but was trapped wide.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Noble Captain		5.5 5.5/1(+45%)																															(7) Noble Captain 5.5/1, Has shown improved form since dropped to 6f, running well when third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11/1) 2 weeks ago. Still looking for his first win but can give another good account. 3yo; running well in defeat in 6f Tapeta handicaps and every chance he'll be thereabouts.
4	9 4th (9) (9/1 +0%) Eyes		9 9/1(+0%)																															(9) Eyes 9/1, Course winner. 13/2, not discredited when fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Can give her running again with blinkers back on. Poor strike-rate but has run some bright races this term (including here); each-way claims.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -50%) Lupset Flossy Pop		6 6/1(-50%)																															(6) Lupset Flossy Pop 6/1, C&D winner. Best effort this season when third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Leading contender off her reduced mark back at this venue. C&D winner who has posted promising performances the last twice and could be in the mix.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Captain Dandy		5.5 5.5/1(+21%)																															(8) Captain Dandy 5.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. Never a threat when sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 56 days ago, typically slowly away. Has been gelded since. Needs everything to drop right. Gelded since last run in July and a case can be made on this year's best efforts.
7th	13 7th (13) (7.5/1 +63%) Doon The Glen		7.5 7.5/1(+63%)																															(13) Doon The Glen 7.5/1, Hasn't made much impact in varied events, eleventh of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with visor on 1st time. Half-brother to two winners for the yard but hard to fancy on what he's shown so far.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 -43%) Tathmeen		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Tathmeen 20/1, Seven-time course winner, successful twice here in February. However, has been struggling for form of late, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 12/1) 2 weeks ago. Not at top of his game on last few starts but this 7-time course winner is on a handy mark.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 +20%) Churchill Bay		20 20/1(+20%)																															(2) Churchill Bay 20/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Form has gone the wrong way this year, tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 39 days ago. Has enough to prove at present. Close third over C&D in March when fully 16lb higher; however, he's struggled since.
10th	4 10th (4) (7/1 +30%) Deputise		7 7/1(+30%)																															(4) Deputise 7/1, Course winner. Ended long losing run at Southwell in August. Not in the same form when seventh of 9 in minor event at Bath (5f, good, 5/1) 11 days ago, but could bounce back returned to tapeta. Won at Southwell last month and may not have been suited by the return to turf last time.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 -14%) Zegos Surprise		16 16/1(-14%)																															(11) Zegos Surprise 16/1, Well below form when sixth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Ayr (6f, soft) 6 weeks ago. However, runner-up twice here earlier this year, so she's capable if on a going day. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine. Patchy turf form this summer but return to this course for stable debut could be a plus.
12th	14 12th (14) (100/1 -100%) The White Elephant		100 100/1(-100%)																															(14) The White Elephant 100/1, Little solid form, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, heavy) when last seen in April. Makes handicap debut on first run for yard after leaving Ronald Thompson. Makes stable debut after time off; not a forlorn hope judged on penultimate effort.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NAZCA is two out of two since returning to the all-weather, with the latest of those victories coming at Wolverhampton by a neck, for which he has been raised 4lb. The four-year-old could continue his recent progression to record a treble. The main threat might be Noble Captain, who made the frame at Southwell and looks sure to go well once more off 1lb lower. Of the remainder, Eyes makes the most appeal after her fifth at Yarmouth.

LUPSET FLOSSY POP produced her best effort of the season when third at Southwell a fortnight ago and, having won off an 11 lb higher mark at this C&D last year, she could be ready to return to winning ways. Nazca arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, with Deputise completing the shortlist.

The drop to sprinting has worked a treat for NAZCA (nap), who can make it 3-3 over 6f. Zegos Surprise is second choice.

12	12 (12) (28/1 -12%) Dalglish		28 28/1(-12%)																															(12) Dalglish 28/1, Always behind after 16 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (5f) 2 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it. Well beaten a fortnight ago but after long absence; handy mark judged on old C&D form.
1	11 1st (11) (20/1 -100%) Phoenix Star		20 20/1(-100%)																															(11) Phoenix Star 20/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. After 4 months off, never involved when eleventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 2 weeks ago. Mark continues to fall but others more persuasive. Form has gone wrong way this year but his mark has tumbled; second in this last season.
2	8 2nd (8) (8.5/1 -55%) Latin Five		8.5 8.5/1(-55%)																															(8) Latin Five 8.5/1, Gained reward for consistency when winning at Ripon in August and produced another creditable effort when fourth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (5f, good) 15 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more. Return to AW poses a question but major player if transferring good recent turf form.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Lady Celia		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Lady Celia 4/1, Course winner who scored on second outing for current connections at Nottingham in July. Not discredited when sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 10/1) 3 weeks ago, denied clear run over 1f out. Shortlisted. Course winner who has been in good form in the main since joining this yard; a possible.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Aconcagua Mountain		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(7) Aconcagua Mountain 5.5/1, Below-par effort when seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 9/4) 13 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Had been in good form previously, though, so could leave his latest run behind. Unplaced favourite last time but in good form previously and he's a two-time Tapeta winner.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 +33%) Urban Dandy		6 6/1(+33%)																															(6) Urban Dandy 6/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, latest success at this C&D in March. After 5 months off, tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 40/1) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied and could fare better back on tapeta. Down the field at Beverley recently but Tapeta seems to be his thing; one to consider.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -14%) Glorious Rio		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Glorious Rio 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. Placed on his last 2 starts, third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 5/2) 17 days ago. Well handicapped on old form and he's a major player returned to this track. Three-time C&D winner who is in good form, and his turn may be getting near.
7th	13 7th (13) (5/1 +29%) Howyadoin		5 5/1(+29%)																															(13) Howyadoin 5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 10 days ago, hampered early. Still early days for current yard. This is just his third start for Mick Appleby, but he's 0-17 and needs to raise his game.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Annie Maher		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) Annie Maher 33/1, Below form on both starts for her current trainer, sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 27 days ago. Others preferred. Mark continues to fall but she's been soundly beaten the last twice.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +60%) Fai Fai		16 16/1(+60%)																															(9) Fai Fai 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Again finished down the field when eleventh of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this course (6f) 39 days ago. Fair run over C&D in May and he's now 10lb lower, but he has a regressive profile.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -186%) Jailhouse Rock		40 40/1(-186%)																															(10) Jailhouse Rock 40/1, Never a threat in 3 starts so far, last of 6 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good, 50/1) 82 days ago. Much more required as he makes handicap debut. Has shown some ability and he's one to watch in the betting off lowly mark on h'cap debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (28/1 -40%) Doctor Mozart		28 28/1(-40%)																															(2) Doctor Mozart 28/1, First run since leaving David Evans when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 25/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track making his first start at this course. In fair form on final few runs for David Evans but disappointing on recent stable debut.
12th	4 12th (4) (25/1 +24%) So Sleepy		25 25/1(+24%)																															(4) So Sleepy 25/1, With blinkers and tongue strap on for 1st time, fared no better than of late when last of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 19 days ago. Has failed to beat a rival since her debut success. Lightly raced 3yo who won on debut in August 2022 but has achieved very little since.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This looks like an open contest and a tentative vote goes to LATIN FIVE, who ran well from an awkward draw for fourth at Beverley. If the son of Camacho can transfer that level of form to the all-weather, he should have a big shout. Glorious Rio (second) had Aconcagua Mountain (third) just behind on his penultimate start at Ayr and he is fancied to confirm those placings, even on 1lb worse terms.

GLORIOUS RIO has been heading back in the right direction of late and he can build on his recent placed efforts to land a fourth C&D success. He is taken to get the better of the consistent Latin Five, while Lady Celia has been in good heart for her current yard and is another to consider.

The return to Tapeta is a likely positive for URBAN DANDY and he earns the vote ahead of the in-form Glorious Rio.

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.
