16:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (6/4 +25%) Catalan King	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(6) Catalan King 6/4, Showed improved form and looked a proper stayer when second of 6 on handicap debut at Ayr (15f, good, 9/4) 17 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously. Favourite for handicap debut at Ayr (1m7f) and closed to within a neck; headgear/AW debut.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +50%) Val Bassett	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) Val Bassett 3/1, Unreliable sort. 12/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 3 days ago, late headway. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 3rd here (1m4f) on Tuesday, staying on from rear as if he would stay further; considered.
5	5 (5) (16/5 -97%) Unique Spirit	3.2 16/5(-97%)	(5) Unique Spirit 16/5, Confirmed promise of previous run when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D (13/8) 17 days ago, overcoming pace bias to edge ahead final 50 yds. Remains of interest. Fared better with a visor fitted over C&D on last three starts, off the mark on latest.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +0%) Zivaniya	9 9/1(+0%)	(3) Zivaniya 9/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year, latest over C&D in August. 8/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f) just over 3 weeks ago, dropping away entering final 1f. Needs to get back on track. Inconsistent overall but has usually run with credit here, including a 2m win in August.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +64%) Galahad Threepwood	12 12/1(+64%)	(1) Galahad Threepwood 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Hood on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm, 80/1) 4 weeks ago, having hopeless task from position. Up in trip. Mark has eased further but would need to see market support to make him of interest. Won over hurdles in March 2023; no impact Flat or jumps codes since, including here once.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -40%) Grand Scheme	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Grand Scheme 28/1, 20/1, hinted at temperament when eighth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (14f, firm) 10 weeks ago, carrying head awkwardly straight. Makes tapeta debut. Plenty to prove at present. Disappointing last year and beat a total of one rival during his three runs this summer.

16:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for UNIQUE SPIRIT after a comfortable breakthrough success over C&D, there is likely to be more improvement forthcoming from the son of Waldgeist off 2lb higher. A major improver on the rise in distance when second on his handicap debut at Ayr, Catalan King can give the selection the most to think about for his in-form stable. Val Bassett is another with the potential to do better over further.

CATALAN KING left previous efforts behind switched to a handicap when finding just one too good at Ayr earlier this month and, with first-time blinkers applied to eke out that bit extra, Ed Bethell's charge is fancied to go a place better on all-weather debut at the expense of Unique Spirit, who opened his account over C&D recently and remains of interest from just 2 lb higher. Val Bassett looks best of the remainder.

With his best efforts in handicaps having been delivered over C&D on his last three starts, UNIQUE SPIRIT has the least to prove.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (10/11 +39%) Something	0.909091 10/11(+39%)	(4) Something 10/11, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (6/4) 3 days ago, making all in dominant fashion. Remains unexposed granted this sort of test and sound claims under a penalty with prospect of more to come. Made all over C&D on Tuesday; should take the beating if turning out again despite penalty.
5	5 (5) (7/4 +50%) Arazzo	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(5) Arazzo 7/4, Lightly-raced maiden who again shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, meeting trouble under 2f out and noted finishing with running left. Remains capable of better and he's one to consider. Step up in trip should suit and respected for trainer with a good strike-rate here.
6	6 (6) (13/2 -63%) Miss Monte Carlo	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(6) Miss Monte Carlo 13/2, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/2) 22 days ago. Remains a maiden but she's not out of things having eased a little in the weights. In the frame in five of her six starts including all four on the AW; one for the shortlist.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -100%) Princess Niyla	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Princess Niyla 20/1, Latest win at Beverley in July. 12/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 15 days ago. Up in trip and booking of De Sousa a definite plus. Has dropped to a fair mark, but has gone off the boil of late and has stamina to prove.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -57%) Stand Strong	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Stand Strong 22/1, Still finding his feet following a lengthy absence for this yard, unable to make an impact upped in trip when last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Not shown much in three outings for this yard since returning in August; tongue-tie on.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -100%) Glasses Up	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Glasses Up 28/1, Latest win at Ayr in August. 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 8 days ago. May well prove vulnerable to a couple of the 3-y-os here. Has run with credit over C&D, but looks vulnerable to younger rivals.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -257%) Scottish Reel	50 50/1(-257%)	(7) Scottish Reel 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 22 days ago, hanging left over 1f out. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Didn't appear to stay on handicap/AW debut at Southwell (1m3f) last month.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -400%) Sound Pressure	125 125/1(-400%)	(3) Sound Pressure 125/1, Missed whole of last year and offered little in handful of starts for new yard this term, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 150/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Can only be watched tackling this longer trip. Has beaten a total of one rival in four starts since returning for this yard in August.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SOMETHING wasn't for catching when scoring with something in hand over C&D earlier in the week and Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is turned out again quickly under a 6lb penalty, which could prove manageable. Miss Monte Carlo has generally held her form well throughout her first season, while Glasses Up hasn't quite matched the performance that saw him score at Ayr over 1m2f in August but is now just 1lb higher.

SOMETHING has come into his own since forcing tactics where employed, running out a dominant winner from the front over C&D 3 days ago. Wisely turned out under a penalty, he holds sound claims in his follow-up bid. Arazzo remains with a bigger effort in his locker and is feared, along with another 3-y-o, Miss Monte Carlo.

If turning out again after his all-the-way win over C&D on Tuesday, SOMETHING (nap) should be hard to beat despite the 6lb penalty.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (9/2 -13%) Facoulty	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(8) Facoulty 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 14 in nursery (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Improved since switched to nurseries; second of 14 at Southwell last time; high on list.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +50%) Bella Love	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(2) Bella Love 9/2, Bit below form sixth of 11 in nursery at Redcar (6f, good, 7/1) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Enters calculations on best form for last year's winning yard. Placed in first four starts but held in two nurseries; sister to a five-time Tapeta winner.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +50%) Ghostman	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) Ghostman 5/1, Modest maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (13/2) at Wolverhampton (5f) 11 days ago. Better effort when fourth at Wolverhampton 11 days ago; considered off same mark.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +85%) Azuinthejungle	6 6/1(+85%)	(7) Azuinthejungle 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, eighth of 10 in nursery at Catterick (5f, soft) 16 days ago, always behind after missing break. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form. Ability in both starts last month but held on nursery debut; out of a dual Tapeta winner.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +56%) Tabago Moon	7 7/1(+56%)	(10) Tabago Moon 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has shown ability and is related to AW winners; not dismissed on nursery debut.
3	3 (3) (17/2 +0%) Bow Street	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(3) Bow Street 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 12 in nursery (12/1) at Bath (5f, good) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not beaten far at Bath last time and that form is working out well; each-way claims.
12	12 (12) (9/1 +10%) Causin A Commotion	9 9/1(+10%)	(12) Causin A Commotion 9/1, Modest form. 11/5, best effort when fourth of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5f) 18 days ago. Blinkered first time. Enters calculations. Got going too late when fourth on nursery debut; this stiffer track may help; blinkers on.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +25%) Harswell Dandy	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Harswell Dandy 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Respectable fourth of 14 in nursery at Southwell (5f, 17/2) 22 days ago. Should be competitive again. Both wins have come in four-runner events; return to a stiff track may not be ideal.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -25%) Cugini	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Cugini 20/1, Creditable third of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form. Placed in four of nine starts on turf, but needs the switch to the AW to make a difference.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -83%) Almasi	22 22/1(-83%)	(9) Almasi 22/1, Showed ability in 3 outings for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. Visored first time on handicap debut for new yard. Worth a second look in the betting. Some ability in three starts for another stable; improvement needed; visor on.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FACOULTY seems to be getting the hang of things since beginning life in nurseries and she looks the one to beat if building upon a strong runner-up effort over this distance at Southwell last month. Causin A Commotion ran well enough as favourite when fourth on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations, along with the unexposed Dutch Finale after a gelding operation.

DUTCH FINALE appeals as a likely improver in handicaps for the Boughey yard and gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Facoulty ran well in a competitive nursery at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Causin A Commotion.

Another chance is given to CAUSIN A COMMOTION who was well backed when a staying-on fourth on his Wolverhampton nursery debut.

18:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (1/1 +100%) Tundra Rose	1 1/1(+100%)	(6) Tundra Rose 1/1, £90,000 yearling, Tamayuz filly. Well supported and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third of 11 in class 2 maiden at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) on debut back in August, running green but keeping on. Looks sure to improve and the one to beat here. Market springer when a promising 3rd at Goodwood 11 weeks ago; leading contender.
1	1 (1) (10/3 +26%) Glamorous Marlene	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Glamorous Marlene 10/3, 65,000 gns yearling, Make Believe filly. 13/2, showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Should have more to offer. Green when fifth of ten at Newmarket last month (7f, soft); can do better but she needs to.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +42%) North Star	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(4) North Star 7/2, Foaled March 23. €160,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Sweet Gentle Kiss and winner up to 1½m Sunset Key, both useful. Noteworthy newcomer. 160,000euros half-sister to six winners; looks the part on paper; betting to guide.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -27%) Storm Lady	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Storm Lady 7/1, Zoustar filly who matched debut form when second of 6 in novice at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Appeals as the type to progress further and she's respected on tapeta debut. Similar form in two slow-ground 7f runs last month; AW should be fine; e/w claims at least.
3	3 (3) (25/1 -127%) Nightsinwhitesatin	25 25/1(-127%)	(3) Nightsinwhitesatin 25/1, Foaled March 15. Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 6f winner Chocoya and winner up to 7.4f Gressington. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Interesting newcomer for yard who have had an excellent season. Wears cheekpieces. Half-sister to five winners out of useful winner; yard in form; cheekpieces on for debut.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -178%) Yellow Dream	50 50/1(-178%)	(7) Yellow Dream 50/1, Foaled March 5. €40,000 foal, £46,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Rainbow Royal and winner up to 7f Rose Marmara. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Market should guide with yard also saddling Tundra Rose. £46,000 yearling; half-sister to three winners out of a Listed winner; yard run two here.
2	2 (2) (100/1 +0%) Good Reward	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Good Reward 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut in June. Steps up significantly in trip back from a break but she could well be one for handicaps further down the line. 80-1 when down the field at Wetherby (5.5f) on debut in June; big step forward required.

18:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from TUNDRA ROSE's debut third at Glorious Goodwood and she rates as the one to beat. The David O'Meara-trained filly is not expected to have any issues with the Tapeta surface and she can fend off Storm Lady, who has done little wrong in her two placed efforts to date and another prominent showing is forecast. North Star is the most appealing of the newcomers and is worth a check in the betting.

Having been well supported, TUNDRA ROSE shaped with considerable promise when third behind a subsequent Group 3 scorer on debut at Glorious Goodwood back in August and, with progress on the cards, she can make it second time lucky. Storm Lady and Glamorous Marlene head up the dangers, though market confidence behind Nightsinwhitesatin or North Star would look significant.

Storm Lady can go well again but TUNDRA ROSE shaped with considerable promise on her Goodwood debut and is preferred.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (16/5 +29%) Kilteel	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(2) Kilteel 16/5, Improved to win a 7f course nursery in September. Nowhere near that form back on turf at Brighton since but can fare better back on AW. 7f win here on nursery debut last month; below that level at Brighton latest; down in trip.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +71%) Uncle Sam	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(5) Uncle Sam 7/2, 9/1, creditable fourth of 9 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, good) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not beaten far at Thirsk last month; one to consider now switched to AW.
4	4 (4) (9/2 -29%) Layaali	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(4) Layaali 9/2, 11/1, respectable fourth of 11 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 4 days ago but claims on her close third over C&D prior to that. Good efforts over C&D and at Kempton this month; still has time to do better.
6	6 (6) (9/2 -29%) Monticristo Boy	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(6) Monticristo Boy 9/2, Creditable second of 10 in C&D nursery 24 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Considered. Runner-up in two of his three nursery starts; tongue tie now added; should run well.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +40%) A Fine Claret	6 6/1(+40%)	(8) A Fine Claret 6/1, Has shown more temperament than ability so far but he hails from a top yard and could improve now handicapping after a 3-month break/gelding op. One to note in the betting. Poor form in three turf runs in midsummer; gelded since; likely improver now handicapping.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -38%) Elladora Black	9 9/1(-38%)	(1) Elladora Black 9/1, Creditable 3¼ lengths third of 7 to Kilteel in nursery at this course (7f, 12/1) 31 days ago. Fair 3rd behind Kilteel here (7f) last month; had an easy lead there though & vulnerable.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -257%) Stat Goddess	25 25/1(-257%)	(7) Stat Goddess 25/1, Modest maiden. 25/1, creditable fifth of 12 in nursery over this C&D 17 days ago. Exposed 12-race maiden; ran okay over C&D latest without totally convincing at the trip.
10	10 (10) (40/1 0%) Aria's Dream	40 40/1(0%)	(10) Aria's Dream 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, eighth of 10 in C&D nursery 24 days ago. Fared no better for the switch to nurseries here last month; too much to prove.
3	3 (3) (50/1 -150%) Itsallaboutus	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Itsallaboutus 50/1, Modest form. 66/1, ninth of 10 in nursery at Southwell (1m) 19 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Down in weights and possible this return to sprinting will help; risky but not impossible.
9	9 (9) (80/1 -100%) Sun Petal	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Sun Petal 80/1, 28/1, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when last of 11 in nursery at this course (10.2f) 15 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces need to make a difference. Dropped away over 1m2f on recent stable debut; cheekpieces added now down in trip.

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

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

Layaali was a respectable fourth at Kempton on Monday and must enter calculations reverting to Tapeta. However, MONTICRISTO BOY is slightly more compelling after his latest C&D second and compensation could be on the cards racing off an unchanged mark. Better is expected from course winner Kilteel on her return to this venue and, despite the drop in distance being a slight concern, Ed Dunlop's filly isn't taken lightly.

MONTICRISTO BOY has run well to be runner-up in both AW nurseries and may be able to open his account now. Last month's course scorer Kilteel is respected back on AW, while Layaali was a good third in a similar race on her previous Newcastle visit.

Monticristo Boy and Layaali look solid but A FINE CLARET appeals as a potential improver now he's handicapping at a low level.

5	5 (5) (7/5 -2%) Manhattan Mirage	1.4 7/5(-2%)	(5) Manhattan Mirage 7/5, Fairly useful gelding. 7/4, second of 4 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Leading claims. Hasn't quite kicked on from a promising seasonal return; leading form claims though.
4	4 (4) (4/1 -14%) Kisdon Force	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Kisdon Force 4/1, Promise when third of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7f, 28/1) on debut 8 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Promising 3rd on last week's Southwell debut (Jodhpur Blue 2nd); open to improvement.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +20%) The Ganges	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) The Ganges 20/1, Placed both starts in early 2022 but not seen since. Can only really watch for new yard after such a long time on the sidelines. Promise over C&D in January 2022; makes stable debut after a 965-day absence.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -230%) Three Sixty	66 66/1(-230%)	(8) Three Sixty 66/1, 100/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut. Off 13 months. 100-1 when down the field at Redcar 419 days ago (6f); looks best watched.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -100%) Heavenly Heather	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Heavenly Heather 66/1, 37,000 gns 3-y-o, Shamardal filly. Half-sister to 11.4f/1½m winner Night Breeze. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m (stayed 2½m) Cross Counter. The betting should guide on belated debut. 37,000gns purchase in Feb; half-sister to 11.4f/1m4f winner Night Breeze; may need further.
2	2 (2) (200/1 -100%) Heritor	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Heritor 200/1, 200/1, ninth of 10 in novice at this course (8f) on debut 38 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap on first time. 200-1 and offered little here on last month's debut (1m); now tongue tied.

19:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JODHPUR BLUE has steadily improved with each run this season and posted a solid second at Southwell last week. This may prove to be his easiest assignment to date and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. Manhattan Mirage rates as an obvious threat on the back of his runner-up effort at Yarmouth recently, with Kisdon Force looking best of the remainder.

MANHATTAN MIRAGE has form good enough to win a race like this and is given one more chance. Jodhpur Blue is the obvious danger ahead of last week's Southwell third Kisdon Force.

Manhattan Mirage sets the standard but KISDON FORCE shaped well on debut and can reverse those placings with Jodhpur Blue.

9	9 (9) (9/2 +55%) Variety Island	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(9) Variety Island 9/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 6/1) 22 days ago. Visor back on. 2-30 though one of his wins came over C&D; fairly treated on summer turf form.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +0%) Sergeant Mayer	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(3) Sergeant Mayer 11/2, Winner at Nottingham in August. Respectable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 17 days ago. Nudged back up 2 lb but he can remain competitive. 1-19; runner-up over C&D last time but the stiff track appeared to find him out.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +20%) Hurstwood	8 8/1(+20%)	(4) Hurstwood 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in August. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 20 days ago. That was a rare off day and he's fancied to bounce back. C&D winner and runner-up on his last AW start here last November; chance.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +50%) Too Much	10 10/1(+50%)	(2) Too Much 10/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap (100/1) at this course (7.1f) 31 days ago. This is her first crack at 6f. Out of the frame in all five starts since returning in May; plenty to prove down in trip.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +52%) Madame Christine	12 12/1(+52%)	(8) Madame Christine 12/1, 18/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 24 days ago. Hood replaces cheekpieces. 0-12 but stable in cracking form recently; hood on.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Too Much Too Young	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Too Much Too Young 14/1, Winner at Catterick in August. Blinkered for first time, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Catterick (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Twice held in handicaps since winning a 0-50 classified event on stable debut.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -200%) La Boo	18 18/1(-200%)	(5) La Boo 18/1, Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 24 days ago. Remains a maiden but looks to have found her level. 0-12; needs a bit more back up 2lb and attempting this far for the first time.
10	10 (10) (22/1 -83%) Grid Iron Maiden	22 22/1(-83%)	(10) Grid Iron Maiden 22/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 55 days ago. 0-13 and unplaced in all six starts on the AW; look elsewhere.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -257%) Beneficiary	25 25/1(-257%)	(6) Beneficiary 25/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, 7/2), though had excuses on the day. Off 6 months. Dual C&D winner not seen in seven months, but is proven fresh; shortlisted.

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

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

HURSTWOOD made the most of a lenient mark when he put a race to bed without much fuss at Redcar in August and, having been unfavourably drawn when failing to follow up at Ripon, this C&D winner reverts to Tapeta with solid claims from a still-workable rating. Variety Island is interesting with impressive apprentice Jack Doughty claiming 5lb, while the three-year-olds La Boo and Sergeant Mayer are other respected contenders.

This is the lowest band of handicap that LORD ABAMA has contested and following a respectable return to the AW here 3 weeks ago, he looks the way to go. Sergeant Mayer is likely to give it another good go, with La Boo another to consider.

The vote goes to HURSTWOOD, a C&D winner who returns to the AW for the first time since finishing runner-up here last November.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (4/1 -14%) Barleybrown	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Barleybrown 4/1, Temperamental sort but a 3-time C&D winner this season, career best for latest of them in 10-runner handicap 24 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can make presence felt. Three C&D wins for Ruth Carr this year; well on top latest and a 5lb rise is fair enough.
10	10 (10) (4/1 +11%) Triple Force	4 4/1(+11%)	(10) Triple Force 4/1, Short of room at a crucial moment when third of 12 in handicap (7/4) at this C&D 15 days ago. Has to be taken very seriously given he isn't fully exposed. 0-10 but placed in three of his last four starts; can get it wrong at the start; claims.
2	2 (2) (11/2 +61%) Arantes Nascimento	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(2) Arantes Nascimento 11/2, Course winner. 22/1 and hooded for first time, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. 7f win here as a 2yo; only run to form once this year; drops in class this evening.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +13%) Mr Jetman	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Mr Jetman 7/1, Hard to knock his consistency this year, running up to form again when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 8 days ago. Infrequent winner but he's yet to run a poor race this year; should be involved again.
9	9 (9) (15/2 -50%) Love Warrior	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(9) Love Warrior 15/2, Shade better than the result when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Visor replaces cheekpieces and he should be a factor at this level. Ran well when 2nd on his stable debut last month; not quite so good since; new headgear.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +60%) Crown's Lady	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Crown's Lady 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in August. 28/1, well-held tenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago, though that effort can be excused on account of going off too hard. Two wins this summer and she may have found the ground too slow the last twice; considered.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Edvard Grieg	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Edvard Grieg 12/1, 9/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. Makes tapeta debut and he's in very capable hands in his quest to bounce back. Promising stable debut in August but took a backward step at Beverley latest; AW debut.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +0%) Pop Favorite	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Pop Favorite 14/1, Five-time C&D winner. 17/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Five-time C&D winner; only midfield in a weaker race here on Tuesday but can't discount.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -80%) Redondo	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Redondo 18/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in May. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good), missing break. Off 137 days. Has work to do and return to this trip could well be in his favour. Two wins for new yard this year, including C&D; can go well fresh; betting should guide.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -43%) Pallas Lord	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Pallas Lord 20/1, Four-time C&D winner. 5 wins from 11 runs this year. 17/2, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Usual tongue tie still missing but he should strip fitter for that. 5 course wins early in the year; sharper for recent return but others look better treated.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -40%) Habitual	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Habitual 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good, 33/1) 82 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Stiff task on bare form. Needs to step up on this summer's three qualifying runs but that's not out of the question.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TRIPLE FORCE has been threatening to win a race of late and is worth another chance after several good efforts in defeat. There are dangers aplenty, however, and support in the betting for the likes of Love Warrior, who swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor, and recent C&D winner Barleybrown would also have solid foundations and will need serious thought. Pallas Lord loves this course and cannot be ruled out in his bid for an eighth win here.

Despite being unable to justify strong support over this C&D a fortnight ago, TRIPLE FORCE still ran a sound race and was a shade better than the result too, so he remains of serious interest. Love Warrior could do with a sound pace to aim at kept at 1m but he's a threat in a change of headgear, along with C&D regular Barleybrown.

A trappy event in which Craig Lidster's pair CROWN'S LADY and Triple Force can fight out the finish.

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.
