16:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (1/1 +67%) Dramatic Star	1 1/1(+67%)	(9) Dramatic Star 1/1, Progressed well in maiden/novices, emphatically landing a maiden at Hamilton (11f, good to firm) in June. Short in the betting but no show at Haydock and in the Melrose at York subsequently. Has been gelded and has sights lowered now tackling AW. Could be set for a big run. Dam 2-2 on the AW (Polytrack) for the yard and he still has potential having been gelded.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 -211%) La Pulga	14 14/1(-211%)	(7) La Pulga 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in September. Well below form when sixth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Handicap wins have come off lower marks, mainly in smaller fields; may not get his own way.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +25%) King Lear	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) King Lear 3/1, 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 38 days ago. Ran well at Southwell before that and could bounce back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Solid effort on his Tapeta debut in August but still to conclusively prove his stamina.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -78%) Get Shirty	16 16/1(-78%)	(8) Get Shirty 16/1, Much improved in 2022 when scoring 4 times at up to 14f. Winless since but retains plenty of ability judged on his Ascot Stakes fourth and no surprise if he bounces back making belated AW debut after a break. This is less competitive off a career-low mark; claims if stamina comes into the equation.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -17%) Lucander	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Lucander 14/1, Did well in Bahrain last winter, winning a 10f handicap in December. Finished down the field in Epsom/Royal Ascot handicaps back in Britain on his last 2 starts and now makes tapeta debut after 126 days off. Off four months since a couple of ordinary efforts in good-quality handicaps in the summer.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 -200%) Chichester	66 66/1(-200%)	(4) Chichester 66/1, Course winner. Smart performer at his best for Keith Dalgleish. 66/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs a revival. A string of poor efforts for his current yard this season leave him hard to fancy.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -122%) Kolossal	20 20/1(-122%)	(1) Kolossal 20/1, Won 3 times at Pattern level last season in Germany, including Group 3s at Milan/Hoopegarten. €200,000 purchase who ran well in the Duke of Edinburgh handicap at Royal Ascot on return for new yard, but not so good in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock (11.8f, good, 33/1) 108 days ago. AW debut. Dual Group 3 winner in Germany in 2023; AW debut back from a break; can do better.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 -125%) Marhaba The Champ	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Marhaba The Champ 9/1, Won competitive handicaps at both the Dante/Ebor Festival at York in 2023. Best effort this year when fourth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Back up in trip for AW debut. Best run of the season latest and is on his last winning mark; shortlisted on his AW debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -50%) Capital Theory	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Capital Theory 33/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, heavy) 60 days ago. Two-month break since a few poor efforts in the summer; La Pulga is his yard's best chance.

16:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It's possible this trip will stretch a few of these and, with that in mind, the proven staying power of previous course winner LA PULGA could be a major asset if he is allowed to set the fractions on the front end. Marhaba The Champ is a possible improver to consider on the back of a respectable fourth over an inadequate 1m2f at Ayr last month. King Lear should also be noted with first-time blinkers added.

None of these look particularly solid but GET SHIRTY is lower in the weights than he's been for some time and has solid claims if returning in the same sort of form that saw him finish fourth in the Ascot Stakes in June. 3-y-o Dramatic Star has been gelded since his Melrose flop and could get back on track. King Lear is another to consider.

Marhaba The Champ ran his best race of a light campaign last time, but DRAMATIC STAR still has some potential having been gelded.

16:50 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (15/8 +25%) Sword	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(6) Sword 15/8, Kingman colt who is proving expensive to follow and didn't go about things in a particularly likeable manner when second of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 2/1) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Expensive to follow; will want to settle much better going beyond 1m for the first time.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 -57%) Cadarn	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Cadarn 22/1, Magna Grecia. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Killybegs Warrior and unreliable winner up to 8.3f (stayed 10.5f) Ventura Knight, both useful: dam sprint maiden. Shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 13 in a junior bumper on debut 14 days ago. Tongue tied. Not beaten far on his recent bumper debut; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 -133%) Muhib	28 28/1(-133%)	(4) Muhib 28/1, Has taken a while to make it to the track and showed only greenness when twelfth of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) on debut 36 days ago. Up in trip. Step up in trip may help (dam a 1m4f winner) but Sword is clearly his yard's best chance.
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 -25%) Warm Response	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(7) Warm Response 15/2, Showed plenty to work on when third of 11 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip and sure to improve. Satisfactory debut at Southwell early this month (1m); may improve.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/11 +17%) Marama	0.909091 10/11(+17%)	(1) Marama 10/11, Brushed off an 11-month absence when off the mark in 5-runner novice at Chester (10.3f, soft) 31 days ago, easily. Open to further improvement and looks up to defying a penalty. Impressive on her belated return (turf) a month ago; likely to improve for that.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -203%) Saxon Star	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Saxon Star 100/1, Just modest form in bumpers and looks up against it on Flat debut. This looks tough enough on her Flat debut; is likely one for handicaps down the line.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -100%) King Of Lightning	50 50/1(-100%)	(3) King Of Lightning 50/1, Went backwards from debut when a well-held fourth of 5 in novice at this course (8f) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Disappointing on his recent return from a layoff; will find life easier once handicapping.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 +64%) Stone Forest	18 18/1(+64%)	(5) Stone Forest 18/1, Proved very green when last of 7 in novice at Leicester (7f, heavy, 16/1) on debut 7 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Again likely to find this beyond him and is probably one for handicaps down the line.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -52%) Krissy	100 100/1(-52%)	(9) Krissy 100/1, Showed definite signs of promise on debut at Carlisle but finished a well-beaten last of 6 at Ripon 24 days ago. The drop in trip isn't sure to help and this is likely to prove beyond her.

16:50 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MARAMA impressed with a seven-length victory in a similar race at Chester last month and is taken to brush aside the penalty. Although beaten by four and a half lengths at Southwell most recently, Sword was second to an upwardly mobile rival and must have a good chance being of thereabouts in this company. Krissy, King Of Lightning and Warm Response all need to improve, so perhaps Cadarn could be the pick of the rest.

MARAMA got off the mark in impressive fashion at Chester last month and is surely up to defying a penalty on that evidence, especially with further improvement on the cards. Sword is proving expensive to follow, so Warm Response, who showed plenty to work on his rather belated debut at Southwell recently, is feared most.

The sex allowance means MARAMA has to concede only 2lb to the enigmatic Sword and she's clearly the one to beat.

17:25 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (40/1 -100%) Happy To Fly	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Happy To Fly 40/1, €52,000 yearling, Pinatubo filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Habana and 9.5f/1¼m winner Huancayo, both in Germany. 7/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 17 days ago. Green when ninth at Southwell on her debut; daughter of Pinatubo can take a step forward.
2	12 2nd (12) (14/1 +30%) Miss Yorkshire	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Miss Yorkshire 14/1, Foaled January 28. €12,000 yearling, €12,000 2-y-o, Johnny Barnes filly. Sister to winner up to 1m Grey Belle and half-sister to 3 winners, including 7.5f-10.5f winner Colday and 7f/1m winner Eblouis Moi. This daughter of Johnny Barnes is interesting, especially if market vibes are positive.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 +0%) Jamaican Storm	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Jamaican Storm 25/1, Foaled April 12. Havana Grey gelding. Closely related to fairly useful 7f winner Craven and half-brother to Saudi Arabian 9f-1½m winner Freshwater Cliffs. Havana Grey gelding; respected newcomer who is worth a market check.
4	2 4th (2) (11/8 +45%) Sapphire Valley	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(2) Sapphire Valley 11/8, Winner at Wolverhampton in September on debut. Evens, fourth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago. Remains with potential. Winning debut at Wolverhampton before a solid Chlemsford fourth; strong form claims.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 +0%) Everyoneknowsadave	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Everyoneknowsadave 7/1, Won 10-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 12/1) 17 days ago. This is tougher under a penalty. Off the mark in 7f Wolver maiden 17 days ago; he may do better still so needs considering.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 -25%) Shamador	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Shamador 5/1, Came clear with an experienced rival when second of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut but disappointing when seventh of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f, 5/6) 24 days ago. Worth another chance. C&D debut second but odds-on seventh at Chelmsford since; may still do better.
7th	11 7th (11) (9/4 -80%) Velvet Whisper	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(11) Velvet Whisper 9/4, Sales price rose appreciably earlier this year to €42,000. Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Chaturanga. Gambled-on 2/1, second of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 12 days ago. Sure to learn from that and improve. Leading claims. Shaped well when strong-travelling debut second at Southwell; big shout for in-form yard.
8th	9 8th (9) (250/1 -150%) Precious Spartan	250 250/1(-150%)	(9) Precious Spartan 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice at this C&D (300/1) 7 days ago. Might be one for next year. Son of Magna Grecia has offered little in a novices at Redcar (7f) and C&D this month.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 -355%) Get Up Everybody	150 150/1(-355%)	(6) Get Up Everybody 150/1, Foaled April 7. €40,000 yearling, €15,000 2-y-o, Invincible Army colt. Brother to useful winner up to 6f Vantheman and half-brother to 5f winner Whisky McGonagall. Invincible Army colt; appeals on paper but the market can prove an accurate guide.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -21%) Jackchester	80 80/1(-21%)	(8) Jackchester 80/1, Foaled April 8. 1,000 gns yearling, Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Last Tango Inparis and 1¾m winner Flamborough. Ribchester gelding is a half-brother to six winners; market can guide.
11th	3 11th (3) (300/1 -200%) Andalseeyagraham	300 300/1(-200%)	(3) Andalseeyagraham 300/1, 200/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 13 days ago, slowly away. Cut little ice in a novices at Beverley/Nottingham this autumn; plenty more is required.
12th	5 12th (5) (200/1 -100%) Launceston	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Launceston 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 6 in novice at Redcar (7f, good) 27 days ago. One for handicaps up in trip. Brought along very steadily; looks one for middle-distance handicaps in the longer term.

17:25 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

An easy winner on his racecourse bow at Wolverhampton last month, SAPPHIRE VALLEY sets the standard and can atone for fading into fourth when he possibly went off too quickly at Chelmsford subsequently. A third run in quick succession suggests all is well with this potentially progressive son of Blue Point and he is worth persevering with here. Fellow penalised runner Everyoneknowsadave is feared most, although Velvet Whisper is taken seriously after a promising introduction at Southwell.

VELVET WHISPER made a very promising start at Southwell when well backed and seems sure to improve. She looks the one to be on. Sapphire Valley and Shamador head up the dangers.

There was plenty to like about the debut second of VELVET WHISPER and she's preferred to Sapphire Valley.

17:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (15/2 +6%) Cover Point	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(7) Cover Point 15/2, Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 8/1 and visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 38 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Did well to finish fourth on last month's AW debut at Lingfield, having fluffed the start.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 -13%) Muker	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Muker 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in June. Seventh of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Has mixed record this year but has claims if judged on close second at Southwell in August.
3	2 3rd (2) (80/1 -300%) Ventura Express	80 80/1(-300%)	(2) Ventura Express 80/1, Latest win at Beverley in July. 14/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Good third in Racing League event in August but two lesser efforts have followed.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -71%) Harvanna	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Harvanna 12/1, Latest win at Doncaster in July. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 6/1) 44 days ago, left poorly placed. Run well on 2 previous visits here and worth considering. Narrow winner of five-runner turf race in July but not in same form again since.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -200%) Elegant Erin	33 33/1(-200%)	(9) Elegant Erin 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in September. 16/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to soft) 17 days ago, never nearer. 2-5 since her wind op in the spring, the first win gained over C&D; each-way claims.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +14%) Alligator Alley	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Alligator Alley 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in August. 4¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Elegant Erin in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Visor back on. On the downgrade now but won in the summer and has excuses for latest defeat.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 +23%) Badri	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Badri 5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 6/1) 17 days ago, never nearer. This is easier. Pretty consistent on turf for new stable since August and well suited by this C&D.
8th	6 8th (6) (17/2 +15%) Lucky Man	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(6) Lucky Man 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Below form eighth of 22 in Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to firm, 22/1) 31 days ago. Respected back here. 6f turf winner in August; looks quite interesting on first 5f start since 2022.
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 -127%) Bond Chairman	25 25/1(-127%)	(1) Bond Chairman 25/1, Won at Doncaster in 2023. Off 10 months, 20/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 87 days ago, too free. Makes tapeta debut. Seen only once this year, finishing well down the field in valuable Ascot handicap in July.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -32%) Cast No Shadow	33 33/1(-32%)	(14) Cast No Shadow 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 20/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Returned to form with C&D win in June but disappointed last month, after a break.
11th	8 11th (8) (5/1 +17%) Jenever	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) Jenever 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Sandown in June. 25/1, fourth of 22 in Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Goes well here and good shout. Creditable fourth in Ayr Silver Cup last month; also suited by this C&D.
12th	13 12th (13) (66/1 -100%) Piloto Pardo	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Piloto Pardo 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. 20/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 124 days ago. Down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon/gelded. Must improve. Sold for 4,400gns after running poorly on handicap debut in June; stable debut today.
13th	10 13th (10) (3/1 +63%) Londoner	3 3/1(+63%)	(10) Londoner 3/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, 11/2) 19 days ago. Down to a good mark and is still relatively unexposed as a sprinter. Caught the eye when running on strongly for second here (6f) recently.
14th	12 14th (12) (14/1 +0%) Arecibo	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Arecibo 14/1, Unreliable sort. Thirty nine runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Placed a few times on turf this year but is a notoriously tricky horse to win with.

17:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

JENEVER may be suited by dropping back to the minimum trip, having shown up well when fourth in the Ayr Silver Cup last month. Jessica Macey's charge has won over C&D before, and he gets the vote ahead of the well-handicapped Badri and Lucky Man, who has strong claims on his success at Windsor in August. Completing the shortlist are Cover Point, Harvanna and Londoner.

JENEVER ran well despite never being a threat to the smart winner in the Ayr Silver Cup last month. He goes well here and can land the spoils. Londoner, Lucky Man and Harvanna are solid threats.

The pick is BADRI, who did not have the race run to suit when midfield in a good Ascot handicap this month and is well handicapped now.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -10%) Better	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Better 11/1, 33/1, good fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago, nearest finish. His mark is tumbling but he could do with sharpening up his stalls work. Best run for new yard when 4th over C&D 18 days ago; not sure to build on it.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +25%) Northerner	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(3) Northerner 9/2, 40/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Has a race in her on that showing. 0-7 but latest C&D 4th can be upgraded and she's capable of better; down in grade now.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 -8%) Stallone	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(7) Stallone 13/2, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 21 days ago. Conditions to suit and he's coming here in fair form; considered.
4	11 4th (11) (50/1 +0%) The Princes Poet	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) The Princes Poet 50/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Eyeshields on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 125/1) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Struggled for current yard and latest change of headgear isn't enough to tempt.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 +50%) Cuban Rock	5 5/1(+50%)	(10) Cuban Rock 5/1, Respectable 2½ lengths third of 9 to Sixcor in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 17/2) 8 days ago. Hamilton win in July off a higher mark; fair third behind Sixcor latest; not ruled out.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/1 +50%) Sassy Soprano	9 9/1(+50%)	(12) Sassy Soprano 9/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Exposed maiden whose best form has come over 6f; others are more appealing.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +20%) Elzaal	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Elzaal 4/1, 5-time C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (well-backed 4/1) at Southwell (5f) 81 days ago. Interesting back here. Multiple C&D winner; current wellbeing not easy to assess but he's on a dangerous mark.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 +12%) Sacred Melody	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Sacred Melody 22/1, 50/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 10 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. Poor form for new yard; down in weights but hard to recommend.
9th	5 9th (5) (6/1 -33%) Sixcor	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Sixcor 6/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (well-backed 7/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Good shout if backing that up under a penalty. Easy win at Musselburgh last week; solid claims despite a penalty.
10th	4 10th (4) (6/1 -9%) Mecca's Duchess	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Mecca's Duchess 6/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 23 days ago. 0-16 but she's been running well of late and conditions are no issue; shortlist material.
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 -60%) Joshua R	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Joshua R 40/1, C&D winner. 25/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, lost all chance at start. Cheekpieces back on. Yet to shine in a light 2024 campaign; too much to prove for comfort.
12th	9 12th (9) (11/1 +0%) Rockley Point	11 11/1(+0%)	(9) Rockley Point 11/1, 4-time course winner. Twenty six runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Veteran who comes here on the back of two solid C&D runs; should be involved.

18:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty after a comfortable success at Musselburgh last week, SIXCOR may not be the most consistent but he looks more than capable of following up at this level. The unexposed Northerner was a promising fourth over C&D last time out and is likely to be thereabouts, along with the veteran Stallone and Cuban Rock.

ELZAAL has fallen a long way in the weights ahead of his return to a track where he goes really well and is worth chancing. Northerner is feared most ahead of Musselburgh-winner Sixcor.

Sixcor should go well despite his penalty but NORTHERNER's latest C&D fourth offered hope of better and this is a weaker race.

1	11 1st (11) (4/1 +33%) Barleybrown	4 4/1(+33%)	(11) Barleybrown 4/1, Temperamental sort. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 4 days ago. Can give a good account. Clearcut C&D winner last month and placed off new mark here on Friday.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 +17%) Jewel Maker	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Jewel Maker 10/1, C&D winner. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 12 days ago, finding little. Didn't fire on turf recently but largely consistent since Pontefract win in July.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -100%) Alpine Sierra	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Alpine Sierra 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/4, good second of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 12 days ago, conceding first run. Merits consideration. Went close on turf recently but does not have a persuasive record on Tapeta.
4	12 4th (12) (28/1 -75%) Jumeira Vision	28 28/1(-75%)	(12) Jumeira Vision 28/1, 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 15/8, fourth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Won three in a row on turf in the summer but seems to have gone off the boil lately.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 +52%) Slaney Swagger	12 12/1(+52%)	(10) Slaney Swagger 12/1, Visored for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 37 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Plenty to find on form. Ex-Irish maiden; well below best on all three starts for current stable.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/2 +29%) Pursuit Of Truth	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(4) Pursuit Of Truth 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, good second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Needs considering. Kept on well for second on recent handicap debut and probably still has potential.
7th	9 7th (9) (17/2 -55%) Operation Gimcrack	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(9) Operation Gimcrack 17/2, Better than bare result both starts this term, tenth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 16/1) 27 days ago, not much room. Not taken lightly. Shaped well here on belated seasonal debut and subsequent defeat best overlooked.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 +0%) Million Thanks	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Million Thanks 14/1, Visored for 1st time, bit below form third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, slowly away. Safely held when third here a week ago (first-time visor) and needs to find extra today.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 +55%) Harlem Nights	9 9/1(+55%)	(1) Harlem Nights 9/1, 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Fair fifth in first-time cheekpieces last month but others here appeal more.
10th	8 10th (8) (28/1 -250%) Sir Maxi	28 28/1(-250%)	(8) Sir Maxi 28/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Very good third of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 5/1) 40 days ago, running on. Player. Kept on well from the rear for third over 7f here last month; worth another crack at 1m.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +0%) Jackson Street	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Jackson Street 8/1, Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to get back on track but is of interest if judged on 7f second here in September.

18:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fresh off a victory in the Champion Stakes on Saturday, Owen Burrows can continue that form with the unexposed PURSUIT OF TRUTH, who ran a career-best when second on handicap debut at Kempton last time out. A mere 1lb rise could prove lenient, and he may have too much for the recent narrow Ayr runner-up Alpine Sierra, as well as Sir Maxi, who looked to be finding his way for new connections when a promising third over 7f here last month.

OPERATION GIMCRACK has caught the eye on both his starts this term after an absence, leaving the impression there are races to be won with him off his current mark. Alpine Sierra is next best ahead of Pursuit of Truth.

This might go to PURSUIT OF TRUTH, who was running for only the second time this season when second on his recent handicap debut.

19:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Barnaby struck in convincing style over C&D last month and he is likely to have his supporters off only 5lb higher. However, a chance can be taken on NO SAINT, who produced a much better effort when beaten two lengths into second over track and trip last time. Sam England's four-year-old was possibly unsuited by the slowly run race on that occasion and might get more of a pace to aim at this time around. Mr Stanley is another to consider.

BARNABY had been crying out for 7f and duly found progress to get off the mark in comfortable fashion over this C&D 4 weeks ago. Still unexposed at this trip, he can defy a 5 lb rise at the main expense of No Saint and Jkr Cobbler.

Kevin Ryan's BARNABY (nap) took his form up a notch when a stylish C&D scorer latest and can defy a 5lb rise (form has been franked).

RETIREMENT BECKONS wasn't beaten far into fourth over a mile here on his penultimate start and he backed up effort up when filling the same position at Hamilton last time. Linda Perratt's nine-year-old is a previous course winner and can cope with the drop in trip to score. Dash Power made the frame at Kempton in May and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off an unchanged mark. Space Ninja isn't ruled out either.

HAVANA SMOKE continues to knock on the door so remains of interest with headgear re-fitted. Kapparis Kid is worth a second look back on AW, with Space Ninja another to consider.

The consistent HAVANA SMOKE is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough win after a run of good efforts, now the cheekpieces go back on.

FIRCOMBE HALL was closing all the way to the line when denied by a neck into second over track and trip last month and he competes off only 1lb higher. The six-year-old remains on a workable mark and might be able to record his seventh course-and-distance success. My Boy Jack has taken the silver medal home on each of his last two outings and should remain competitive, while The Gay Blade is another to keep an eye on.

SPARTAN FIGHTER disappointed last time but went close here the time before so is given another chance. My Boy Jack and The Gay Blade head the dangers.

All of BLACKCURRENT's wins have come after a recent outing and he has plenty in his favour. Fircombe Hall is next best.

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.
