22/1(-57%)
(9) Glasses Up 22/1, 28/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 11 days ago, shuffled back a bit around 3f out, rallied gradually, no match for principals. One to note. Back off last winning mark and unexposed on AW, but others are more convincing.

25
25/1(-285%)
(4) Urban Road 25/1, C&D winner. 17/2, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 6 months ago. Three-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; off since April but has gone well fresh in the past.

4.5
9/2(+44%)
(7) Awtaad Prince 9/2, Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Off last winning mark but patchy form lately and out of the frame in three goes on Tapeta.
7th

7th (6) (6/1 -140%) Ayr Poet
6
6/1(-140%)
(6) Ayr Poet 6/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, well-backed 3/1) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Has gone well here and good shout again up 4 lb. 4lb higher than when winning at Musselburgh last time; placed in three of six starts here.
8th
2
8th (2) (50/1 -525%) Deauville
50
50/1(-525%)
(2) Deauville 50/1, Fair dual winner over 12.5f in France in 2023. Off 14 months, third of 4 in seller at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) on UK debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. This should reveal more and she's interesting. Dual turf winner in France; well held on recent stable debut after 14 months off.
9th

9th (3) (7/1 +65%) It's A Love Thing
7
7/1(+65%)
(3) It's A Love Thing 7/1, C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago. Failed to beat a rival in both starts after returning from wind surgery last month.
16:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Jim Goldie is on for one of his best ever seasons as a trainer and his placement here of AYR POET looks ideal as he bids to defy a 4lb rise to follow up his Musselburgh success 15 days ago. Having been placed on three of his six previous runs at this course, reverting to Tapeta shouldn't be an issue and another bold showing can be expected. Previous course winners Prince Achille and Urban Road can give the selection plenty of think about.
AYR POET landed a gamble at Musselburgh a fortnight ago and can follow up. Prince Achille can show more now back at Newcastle and is feared, as is Deauville, who wasn't subjected to a hard time returning from a long absence recently. Glasses Up also makes some appeal.
The vote goes to PRINCE ACHILLE who is 3-6 over C&D and is 2lb lower than when third in a better race here in May.
(2) Mu Mu Land 5/4, Cable Bay colt. Closely related to 5f winner Lazyitis and half-brother to 6f winner Roshambo. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Promising second of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut 41 days ago. Likely to improve and good shout in this company. Promising second on last month's Beverley debut; 6f should suit as should the AW.

8
2nd (8) (28/1 -75%) Boyne Lady
28
28/1(-75%)
(8) Boyne Lady 28/1, Foaled January 22. River Boyne filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Centennial out of smart 7f winner Lurina. Stable only has the occasional 2yo go in first time; watch market.

7
3rd (7) (12/1 +52%) Amelia's Joy
12
12/1(+52%)
(7) Amelia's Joy 12/1, 19,000 gns foal, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7.4f Byron's Choice and 2-y-o 6f winner Twilight Song. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 31 days ago, very green. Never involved when seventh on last month's Ripon debut; needs a big step up.
4
5
4th (5) (18/1 -64%) Sweet Cicely
18
18/1(-64%)
(5) Sweet Cicely 18/1, Sir Percy filly. Dam 7f-11f winner. 9/1, seventh of 10 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 66 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Well held on her Redcar debut in August; may need further.
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 -129%) Run To My Side
4
4/1(-129%)
(4) Run To My Side 4/1, Al Kazeem filly. Half-sister to 6f winners Rhossili Down and Exuding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner. Fourth of 5 in novice (7/1) at Leicester (6f, heavy) on debut 14 days ago, making quite a taking move into contention after blowing the start. Sure to progress and bold bid could be on the way. Close fourth of five on Leicester debut after missing the break; bred to handle AW.
6th
6
6th (6) (11/2 -22%) Always Eternal
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(6) Always Eternal 11/2, Foaled April 14. Twilight Son filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Bulldog Drummond. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Perdika. Newcomers from yard still shaping up well and she's worth a look. Bred for speed and should handle the AW on pedigree; market useful.
7th
3
7th (3) (14/1 +65%) Alfa Kalori
14
14/1(+65%)
(3) Alfa Kalori 14/1, 10,000 gns yearling, £30,000 2-y-o, Kodi Bear filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Double O and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Edward Cornelius. 20/1, twelfth of 14 in novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 113 days ago. Beaten a long way on her Ripon debut in July; a good deal of improvement is required.
8th

8th (1) (100/1 0%) Nobody's Business
100
100/1(0%)
(1) Nobody's Business 100/1, €27,000 yearling, Kodiac gelding. Closely related to 6f/7f winner Brazuca and half-brother to winner up to 7f Big Boots. Hooded, seventh of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 66/1) on debut 8 days ago. Beaten a very long way on his Pontefract debut eight days ago; little appeal.
9th
9
9th (9) (50/1 +0%) Hala Joza
50
50/1(+0%)
(9) Hala Joza 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Little promise in both starts, beaten a very long way at Pontefract eight days ago.
16:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although purchased cheaply, there is enough to like about the pedigree of ALWAYS ETERNAL to put her forward as a notable contender for this maiden on debut. A half-sister to Bulldog Drummond, who won over this C&D as a juvenile, this could be a good starting point for the Twilight Son filly, whose yard has done well with juveniles this season. Mu Mu Land appeals most of those with experience, ahead of Run To My Side.
MU MU LAND made a promising start at Beverley 6 weeks ago and has a good shout in this line-up with improvement on the way. He's preferred to Run To My Side, an eye-catcher first time up at Leicester, and newcomer Always Eternal.
Preference is for MU MU LAND who shaped as though this extra furlong would suit when a promising second at Beverley last month.
16:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Substitute 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in May. Twelfth of 15 in nursery (20/1) at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 47 days ago. Makes tapeta debut down markedly in class. Faced stiff tasks after her winning debut; worth a second look on AW debut down in class.
2
5
2nd (5) (18/1 -80%) Hot To Dot
18
18/1(-80%)
(5) Hot To Dot 18/1, Made perfect start when winning 11-runner novice at Pontefract (5f, heavy, 16/1) on debut in April. First run since when well-held sixth of 8 in novice at Catterick (7f, soft, 4/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut now. Won on debut in April, but held on last month's return; needs to bounce back.
3
8
3rd (8) (9/4 +78%) Sherlock
2.25
9/4(+78%)
(8) Sherlock 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Gelded and now makes handicap debut. Has a bit about him physically and may well have more to offer. Regressive in three starts on turf; bred to handle AW, but a leap of faith is required.
4
4
4th (4) (14/1 -17%) Mayor Of Maghera
14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Mayor Of Maghera 14/1, Winner at Musselburgh in August. Gelded and 14/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 24 days ago. Four starts on turf have been much better than his two on Tapeta; has a bit to prove.
5th
3
5th (3) (8/1 -45%) Jachin
8
8/1(-45%)
(3) Jachin 8/1, 5/1, improved when winning 11-runner maiden at Catterick (7f, heavy) 10 days ago, kept up to work. Could do better again now handicapping. Improving and got off the mark at Catterick ten days ago; a possible on nursery debut.
6th
7
6th (7) (13/2 -136%) Al Waseela
6.5
13/2(-136%)
(7) Al Waseela 13/2, 15/8 and blinkered for 1st time, improved when winning 7-runner nursery at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 14 days ago, readily. Gone well on AW previously so respected up 6 lb. Improving steadily, winning well at Yarmouth a fortnight ago; 6lb higher but respected.
7th
9
7th (9) (9/2 +72%) Night Emperor
4.5
9/2(+72%)
(9) Night Emperor 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Gelded and blinkered for 1st time, below form sixth of 11 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 40/1) 22 days ago, going with little fluency but probably needing stiffer test. Dropped 3 lb. Some promise on his second start, but not built on it twice since; look elsewhere.
8th
6
8th (6) (16/1 -33%) Sure And Stedfast
16
16/1(-33%)
(6) Sure And Stedfast 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 62 days ago. Makes handicap debut and may do better. Showed promise in two of his three starts in turf maidens; sire has a good record here.
9th
1
9th (1) (11/2 -100%) Mini Mac
5.5
11/2(-100%)
(1) Mini Mac 11/2, 5/2, improved when winning 5-runner novice at Brighton (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, cosily. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More to come again now handicapping upped further in trip. Won at Brighton last time; remains open to improvement on nursery/AW debut; cheekpieces on.
10th
10
10th (10) (33/1 +0%) Elementary Charge
33
33/1(+0%)
(10) Elementary Charge 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in nursery (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve. Some ability in three starts on turf, but didn't build on it on nursery/AW debut.
17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Last-time-out winners Jachin, Al Waseela and MINI MAC boast compelling claims. The former scored cosily over this trip in a Catterick maiden 10 days ago and is respected. However, the latter showed a very game attitude when getting off the mark under a calm ride from Billy Loughnane at Brighton and could have plenty more to give with cheekpieces added. Al Waseela is more exposed but cannot be ruled out.
MINI MAC opened his account at the second attempt at Brighton recently and can improve again now handicapping up in trip. He gets the vote over Yarmouth winner Al Waseela, Sherlock and Jachin in a competitive nursery.
The choice is AL WASEELA who seems to be progressing steadily and won in good style at Yarmouth a fortnight ago.
(8) Jez Bomb 5/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and he should be on the premises. Made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton ten days ago; shortlisted if proving as effective back here.
2
3
2nd (3) (10/3 -21%) Barleybrown
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(3) Barleybrown 10/3, Temperamental sort. 4/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, easily. That was his fourth success over this C&D and he has to enter calculations. Four wins over C&D this year and Billy Loughnane 2-2 on him; another big effort likely.
3
2
3rd (2) (11/4 +17%) Midnight's Dream
2.75
11/4(+17%)
(2) Midnight's Dream 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fifth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (7f) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. High on the shortlist given that he's probably capable of better. 0-5 but has shown ability as when a close fifth at Kempton last time; shortlist material.
4
9
4th (9) (28/1 -12%) Wyvern
28
28/1(-12%)
(9) Wyvern 28/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 100/1, 4 lengths third of 10 to Barleybrown in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Readily passed over. 4l behind Barleybrown over C&D five weeks ago and 11lb better off; still needs more.
5th
4
5th (4) (13/2 +28%) Overlooked
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(4) Overlooked 13/2, First run since leaving Tom Dascombe when sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 8/1) 35 days ago. Others have achieved more. 0-10 and no improvement on stable debut last time; more needed.
6th
7
6th (7) (20/1 +20%) Ravishing Beauty
20
20/1(+20%)
(7) Ravishing Beauty 20/1, Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. 0-6; not really threatened in three handicaps since joining yard; others make more appeal.
7th
11
7th (11) (12/1 -33%) Little Ted
12
12/1(-33%)
(11) Little Ted 12/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 25 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. C&D record reads 1445424422 and he should go well again despite a 1lb rise.
8th
1
8th (1) (25/1 +0%) Cusack
25
25/1(+0%)
(1) Cusack 25/1, Three-time C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap back here (16/1) 14 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but others make more appeal all the same. Six of his seven wins have come here, but not at his best lately; best watched for now.
9th
10
9th (10) (8/1 -7%) Dingwall
8
8/1(-7%)
(10) Dingwall 8/1, Winner at Ayr in July. 17/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Place possibilities. Caught the eye at Wolverhampton this month, but not sure the shorter trip is in his favour.
10th
6
10th (6) (50/1 -100%) Redondo
50
50/1(-100%)
(6) Redondo 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. Last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 11 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner in February and latest effort here can be forgiven; needs to get back on track.
11th
5
11th (5) (33/1 0%) Rob's Umberella
33
33/1(0%)
(5) Rob's Umberella 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago and he looks set for another struggle. Some ability in a couple of Tapeta novices in January, but not built on it since.
17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JEZ BOMB, now two from three on the all-weather following his recent Wolverhampton success, might be one to follow over the winter months and he's fancied to defy a further 3lb rise in the weights. Little Ted struck the woodwork over C&D earlier this month and must enter calculations, along with Barleybrown, who shoulders a penalty having cruised to victory over track and trip last Tuesday.
The trio that stand out here are MIDNIGHT'S DREAM, Barleybrown and Jez Bomb, in that order of preference. The first-named produced his best effort yet when a strong-finishing fifth in a steadily-run race at Kempton recently and, granted a decent pace to aim at here, this unexposed colt could be the answer. Barleybrown is feared most on the back of notching C&D win number four in good style last week.
This can go to BARLEYBROWN who is taken to record his fifth win over C&D this year. Billy Loughnane is 2-2 aboard him.
(6) Barnaby 3/1, 2/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty. Shortlist material in his quest for a hat-trick. Bids for a C&D hat-trick under a 6lb penalty for an impressive success a week ago.
2
9
2nd (9) (8/1 -7%) King's School
8
8/1(-7%)
(9) King's School 8/1, Good second of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, finishing well. Needs a good test kept to this trip. 0-10; had three of these behind when a close second over C&D last time; leading player.
3
5
3rd (5) (11/1 +21%) Finn Ironside
11
11/1(+21%)
(5) Finn Ironside 11/1, Winner at York in July. Shaped as though still in good nick when fourth of 16 in minor event (18/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Has run well on Tapeta and in good form on turf in recent months; shortlisted.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 +27%) Beale Street
4
4/1(+27%)
(3) Beale Street 4/1, Shaped well when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 26 days ago, pulling hard and only worn down late. Another bold bid looks forthcoming. 0-8 but has gone well here as when a close third last time; should go well again.
5th
7
5th (7) (25/1 -39%) Rainwater
25
25/1(-39%)
(7) Rainwater 25/1, 8/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Struggling for form at present. 0-10; runner-up at Chester in July but has regressed since.
6th
4
6th (4) (17/2 +29%) Arantes Nascimento
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(4) Arantes Nascimento 17/2, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 11/2) 11 days ago. Overall profile is rather patchy and he's back down in trip. Awarded the nursery on this card last year; suggested return to 7f might suit last time.
7th
1
7th (1) (14/1 -56%) Profit Street
14
14/1(-56%)
(1) Profit Street 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 26 days ago. Can bounce back given overall record here. Both wins over 5f/7f here, but well held over C&D last time and just 1lb lower.
8th
10
8th (10) (9/1 +10%) Front Gunner
9
9/1(+10%)
(10) Front Gunner 9/1, Won 8-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 14 days ago, driven out under a tactically astute ride. This is a better race. Dictated a steady pace when off the mark over C&D last time; 5lb higher in a better race.
9th
2
9th (2) (6/1 -33%) Mereside Madness
6
6/1(-33%)
(2) Mereside Madness 6/1, C&D winner. 7/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, running on in s race than didn't pan out for him. Remains one to be very positive about. Two narrow wins over C&D at start of year and not beaten far into fourth here last time.
10th
12
10th (12) (25/1 -108%) Fariha
25
25/1(-108%)
(12) Fariha 25/1, Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 7/1) 17 days ago. In top hands but she isn't really progressing. 0-8; best performances in a change of headgear, but other efforts less convincing.
11th
8
11th (8) (50/1 -257%) Likeashadow
50
50/1(-257%)
(8) Likeashadow 50/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (7.1f). Off 7 months. 2-18 but consistent, both wins coming here this time last year; off seven months.
12th
11
12th (11) (40/1 -60%) Buttercross Flyer
40
40/1(-60%)
(11) Buttercross Flyer 40/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. 1-17 with her win coming over C&D in August last year; not at her best last time.
18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
King's School lost out to an unexposed rival on his latest outing and a first career success doesn't look far away. BARNABY has improved tenfold since being switched to the all-weather, though, winning two on the bounce over C&D, and a 6lb penalty might not prevent him from completing the hat-trick. Beale Street is noted, as is Front Gunner, who steps up in class.
This looks a strong race for the grade, with MERESIDE MADNESS taken to record his third C&D win from 4 outings here having shaped well in a race that wasn't run to suit. Barnaby was a decisive scorer last week and he chases a quick-fire Newcastle hat-trick so he must be a danger, along with Beale Street.
A chance is taken with ARANTES NASCIMENTO who suggested a return to form here last time, shaping as though the return to 7f might suit.
(3) My Cloud 1/6, Half-brother to several winners, notably top-class miler Palace Pier. Runner-up at Newcastle and Redcar 8 months apart. This looks an excellent opportunity. Beaten at short prices in 2 7f starts, here and at Redcar; should be too good upped to 1m.

2nd (4) (16/5 -7%) Tancredi
3.2
16/5(-7%)
(4) Tancredi 16/5, 375,000 gns yearling, 37,000 gns 3-y-o, Kingman gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 7f (Moyglare Stud Stakes) winner and fourth in Irish 1000 Guineas, out of twice-raced half-sister to top-class winner up to 1m Rock of Gibraltar. One to note. 375,000gns yearling but sold for 37,000gns this year; fine pedigree; check the market.

3rd (1) (250/1 -25%) Brave Musketeer
250
250/1(-25%)
(1) Brave Musketeer 250/1, Orientor gelding. Dam of little account, half-sister to smart 5f-8.4f winner Hawkeyethenoo. Last of 5 in novice (250/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) on very belated debut 11 days ago. Came home in his own time on very belated debut at Redcar recently; can only watch.

(2) Maguire 25/1, Advertise gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m He's A Keeper out of winner up to 1¼m Silver Grey. Out of half-sister to winners over a range of trips; more than likely this will be needed.

Dam unraced, closely related to very smart winner up to 6.5f Signs of Blessing. 50/1, last of 6 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good) on debut. Off 168 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Jim Goldie. Has some glamorous relatives but never going the gallop when last of 5 on debut; new yard.

18:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MY CLOUD, a beaten odds-on favourite on each of his starts to date, will not get a better opportunity than this and the son of Blue Point can go in at the third time of asking. That said, George Boughey is no stranger to success with his debutants and Kingman gelding Tancredi makes more than enough appeal on paper to suggest he can be involved. Beautiful Girl can chase the pair home.
MY CLOUD has shown plenty to work on when runner-up on both of his starts 8 months apart and will struggle to find a better opportunity than this. Well-bred newcomer Tancredi looks the only realistic threat.
Newcomer Tancredi has the pedigree and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting but MY CLOUD ought to be too good.
(5) Fiscal Policy 9/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in September. 12/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 12 days ago. Hasn't enjoyed the best of luck in his last two starts; could make his presence felt.

(8) Golden Duke 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (5/2) 35 days ago. Enters calculations. Finished a close third over C&D last time and the form has been boosted; considered.

(3) The Ridler 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy, 7/2) 21 days ago. 0-15 since winning the Norfolk Stakes as a 2yo; well held in both visits here.
19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kitaab found himself with too much to do when a never-nearer third at Kempton last time out. Philip Kirby's gelding warrants respect in his current mood, but a 6lb higher rating could see him falling short of victory once again. With that in mind, last month's C&D third GOLDEN DUKE makes slightly more appeal. The son of Galileo Gold races off an unchanged mark and an overdue triumph may beckon. Buzz Box and Indivar are others to consider.
The in-form KITAAB should have followed up his C&D win at Kempton 18 days ago (left with too much to do) and is fancied to make amends. Low-mileage 3-y-o Buzz Box shaped encouragingly after 8 months off when fourth at Southwell and may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Golden Duke.
The vote goes to KITAAB (nap) who won well over C&D at the start of the month and who did well to go so close at Kempton a week later.
(6) Ana Emaraaty 3/1, Course winner. Good ¾-length second of 8 to Tickets in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/1) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly. Broke duck in 1m classified; close 2nd to Tickets over 7f here last week; first 6f run.

(3) Shark Two One 7/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Looks competitive on form. 0-6 on AW but has two pieces of C&D form; tight with Fircombe Hall on last week's form.

(10) John Kirkup 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 14/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Yet to win on AW; has gone off the boil a touch of late and makes limited appeal.

(7) Back Tomorrow 20/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 8 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Two 6f Southwell wins last midwinter; mostly below best for this yard; now tongue tied.

20/1(-186%)
(4) Coconut Bay 20/1, Latest win at Catterick in August. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two front-running 7f wins this year, on AW and turf, but below best on last two starts.
19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
TICKETS justified strong support in the market when making all over 7f here last week. A 5lb penalty and return to 6f shouldn't inconvenience Ben Haslam's inmate and a quick-fire double could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from My Boy Jack, who has filled the runner-up berth on his last three outings. Shark Two One and Ana Emaraaty have the form to figure too.
MY BOY JACK is going through a good spell, just held only by a course specialist here last week, and gets the nod off the same mark. Ana Emaraaty was a good ¾-length second to Tickets over 7f here last week and may emerge as the biggest threat being 5 lb better off with the penalised Tickets this time.
This is very open but TICKETS has found form back on the AW for his new yard and can prove he is still well treated despite the penalty.
(8) Fylingdale 15/2, Fifth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago. Southwell winner at 6f in early 2023; has not yet recovered best form since an absence.

(3) Gunnerside 7/2, Course winner. 13/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 27 days ago, well positioned. Looks competitive on form. Course winner; just above latest winning mark in June; first AW run since May 2023.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The introduction of a first-time hood with cheekpieces proved just the tonic for recent track-and-trip scorer QUERCUS. The son of Nayef scored a shade cosily and he looks capable of following up off a 4lb higher mark. Fellow in-form rival Gunnerside returns to the all-weather after some creditable efforts in defeat on the turf of late. Grant Tuer's seven-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Noble Captain.
QUERCUS pulled clear with the runner-up when making all over C&D 2 weeks ago so is taken to defy a 4 lb rise. Gunnerside is edging back down the weights and is next best ahead of Noble Captain, who is working his way back.
Although QUERCUS won only narrowly over C&D last time he did look comfortable on the surface and fitting a hood seems to have helped.

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.
