6	6 (6) (5/1 -67%) Pink Parfait		5 5/1(-67%)																															(6) Pink Parfait 5/1, Promising sort. Course winner. 9/4, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) in March, effort over 1f out and running on late. Worth a look on return with step up to 1m expected to suit. Only had five starts and has proved herself on Tapeta; gone well fresh before; shortlisted.
10	10 (10) (7/2 +22%) Urban Road		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(10) Urban Road 7/2, C&D winner. 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (2/1) 25 days ago. Visor back on. Can give a good account again. Last two wins have come over C&D and should again go well in the returning visor (2-4).
9	9 (9) (10/1 +44%) My Honey B		10 10/1(+44%)																															(9) My Honey B 10/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in August. Last of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 22 days ago, always behind. Drop back down in class rates a plus here and worth noting she remains unexposed on AW. Completed a hat-trick on turf this summer; 1-2 on Tapeta and of some interest back on AW.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +0%) Pearly Star		11 11/1(+0%)																															(12) Pearly Star 11/1, Winner at Chester in June. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Others more persuasive. Second off this mark two starts ago and has run with credit on Tapeta; not without a shout.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +39%) Cusack		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(5) Cusack 11/4, 4-time course winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Four course wins including a narrow success last time; a player if they go quick enough.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +7%) Vindobala		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(4) Vindobala 13/2, 4-time course winner but not for the first time she blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Musselburgh (7f) in July. 11/4, not seen to best effect when fourth of 11 in 7f handicap here 6 weeks ago, staying on having been very slowly away. Comes with risks attached. Won this race last year and 2lb below last winning mark; risky but capable.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -75%) Rocket Rod		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) Rocket Rod 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in June. Eleventh of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 43 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form. Back off last winning mark; completed a hat-trick here last year, but poor the last twice.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -29%) Rise Hall		18 18/1(-29%)																															(3) Rise Hall 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 80/1, best effort for present yard when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago. Task is to build on that now. Once a smart handicapper, but has shown nothing since returning from 26 months off in May.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -10%) Floral Splendour		22 22/1(-10%)																															(7) Floral Splendour 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 73 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine. Modest in last four starts and needs a change of stable to help bring about a resurgence.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +12%) Hostelry		22 22/1(+12%)																															(8) Hostelry 22/1, 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 17/2) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely type to bounce back. Won twice on turf last month but disappointing back on AW last time; something to prove.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +24%) Captain Corelli		25 25/1(+24%)																															(11) Captain Corelli 25/1, Tasted success twice last term but struggled to make an impact all 3 starts so far this campaign, latterly when ninth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) in August (following a wind op). Needs to get back on track returning from another break. Has shown nothing in a light campaign since returning in May; best watched.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -122%) Sandret		40 40/1(-122%)																															(1) Sandret 40/1, C&D winner who shaped as if back in form without being seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) in June, running on late. Good pace to aim at will help and he's operating from last winning mark. Back off last winning mark, but may need this on return from another absence.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CUSACK found the drop in class to his liking when recently regaining the winning thread over C&D and a 1lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to thwart the five-year-old from completing a double. The returning Pink Parfait is a potential improver now upped to a mile and Grant Tuer's filly isn't taken lightly. She may give the selection most to ponder, ahead of the in-form Urban Road.

PINK PARFAIT arrives on the back of an 8-month absence but she again shaped well, not least with a view to stepping up to this trip when third over 7f here back in March and it could just be worth siding with Grant Tuer's filly given she's less exposed than most she meets here. In-form pair Cusack and Urban Road head up the dangers, with Rocket Rod also worth keeping an eye on from his easing mark.

The vote goes to URBAN ROAD who has gained his last two successes over C&D, while the returning visor may be another positive.

6	6 (6) (4/1 -45%) Annalee Lass		4 4/1(-45%)																															(6) Annalee Lass 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. Not disgraced when third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) in July, plugging on. Not discounted returned to AW. C&D winner returning from three months off but a major player if ready to go.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +50%) My Boy Teddy		5 5/1(+50%)																															(9) My Boy Teddy 5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to soft, 40/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Irish import who has been well beaten in all eight starts; hard to fancy.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +0%) Storminghull		8 8/1(+0%)																															(7) Storminghull 8/1, Maiden who was best excused the run when seventh of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) in August, short of room inside final 1f. Has since switched yards again and he's still relatively unexposed compared to most here. Out of the frame in all seven starts and enough to prove.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +25%) Antagonize		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(3) Antagonize 9/2, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, weakening from 2f out having pulled hard. Not taken lightly with assessor having relinquished his grip a little more. Losing run up to 19, but ran well over C&D last month and had excuses last time.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -29%) Iconique		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(1) Iconique 9/2, One win from 26 Flat runs. 15/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 21 days ago, weakening gradually final 1f. Hood/tongue tie now reached for and interesting connections opt for this marked drop in trip. Down in grade, but 1-26 and has never raced over a trip this short; new headgear.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +14%) Prince Hector		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Prince Hector 12/1, First run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when eighth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, possibly needing the run on the back of 10 months off. Cheekpieces back on and he may be sharper now. 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D a year ago, but now 0-18; others preferred.
11	11 (11) (13/2 +19%) Ledger		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(11) Ledger 13/2, Maiden who showed fair form at his best in handful of starts as a juvenile in Ireland. Recent exploits in handicaps have been underwhelming but he starts out for new yard from much-reduced mark and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Tongue tied. One piece of fair form, but not matched it since; stable debut in first-time tongue-tie.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -45%) Top Gun Tina		16 16/1(-45%)																															(5) Top Gun Tina 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 22/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not built on her third here on her second start; needs to turn things around.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -40%) Skedaddled		28 28/1(-40%)																															(8) Skedaddled 28/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 29 days ago, barely adequate test. Cheekpieces back on. Has run the odd creditable race, but 0-22 and dropping to this trip made no difference.
12	12 (12) (40/1 -82%) Crown Bridges		40 40/1(-82%)																															(12) Crown Bridges 40/1, Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good, 25/1) 62 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but others preferred on balance. Has made the frame three times, but 0-10 and latest efforts not amongst his best.
10	10 (10) (200/1 -400%) Blue Jay Way		200 200/1(-400%)																															(10) Blue Jay Way 200/1, 125/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in minor event at Catterick (6f, heavy) 10 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Beaten a total of three rivals in seven starts; related to AW winners on the dam's side.

18:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ANNALEE LASS probably wasn't best suited by the soft ground when finishing third at Leicester in late-July and Peter Niven's filly makes plenty of appeal now reverting to the all-weather. The daughter of Gutaifan could take some stopping if replicating her penultimate second at Wolverhampton earlier that month and she may get the better of Antagonize. The seven-year-old is best excused his latest disappointing over C&D after hitting his head on the stalls. Iconique is also worth a second look.

A decidedly trappy handicap with a chance taken on ICONIQUE. Not at her best on her latest outing at Southwell (21.1f) 3 weeks ago, it's interesting connections opt for the marked drop back in trip here and the booking of Oisin Murphy very much catches the eye. Analee Lass and Antagonize are a couple of others to consider.

C&D winner ANNALEE LASS looks the one to beat if ready to go after three months off.

4	4 (4) (5/2 -11%) Copper Mountain		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(4) Copper Mountain 5/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 over C&D 25 days ago. One to consider. Came within a neck of ending her losing run over C&D last time; still on a fair mark.
10	10 (10) (6/1 -9%) Two Rivers		6 6/1(-9%)																															(10) Two Rivers 6/1, Unreliable type. 33/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Ayr (1m, heavy) 19 days ago. 0-13, but has shown glimpses of ability; frame material on those efforts.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +61%) Revoquable		3.5 7/2(+61%)																															(5) Revoquable 7/2, Latest win at Beverley in July. 6/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 33 days ago. Has become well handicapped, but ran poorly in one previous visit here.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +0%) Keeponbelieving		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Keeponbelieving 10/1, 25/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Ayr (1m, heavy) 19 days ago but it's of some interest that Oisin Murphy takes the ride. Blinkers on first time. Third off 8 lb higher earlier in the season. 0-8, but twice ran with credit here in the spring; blinkers on.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +49%) Calleveryoneuknow		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(6) Calleveryoneuknow 10/3, Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW, 8/1) 4 days ago. Capable of figuring if coping with the quick turnaround. 0-11, but ran well when third at Lingfield recently; possibilities off the same mark.
1	1 (1) (17/2 +6%) Billy McGarry		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(1) Billy McGarry 17/2, 5/2 and cheekpieces on first time, first run since leaving David Griffiths when fifth of 7 in classified event at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) 41 days ago. Feasibly treated if bouncing back to form. Disappointing favourite on stable debut last time; interesting to see if backers return.
7	7 (7) (22/1 +0%) Foshan		22 22/1(+0%)																															(7) Foshan 22/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.5, 40/1) 18 days ago, met some trouble. Significantly down in trip. Others are more obvious. Has shown little in two starts for this yard since returning from 466 days off last month.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Bawaader		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Bawaader 25/1, Two AW wins over this trip in January but well held on both starts for current yard. Won a couple of 0-50 classified events at the start of the year, but precious little since.
12	12 (12) (40/1 -60%) Indian Outlaw		40 40/1(-60%)																															(12) Indian Outlaw 40/1, 14/1 and blinkered first time, well-held fourth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, soft) 44 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. 0-12, but ran with credit at Dundalk for previous stable; worth keeping an eye on.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -25%) Mr Coco Bean		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Mr Coco Bean 50/1, Thirty one runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, last of 10 over C&D when last seen in July. Probably best to look elsewhere again. Engaged 7.00 here Has made the frame on several occasions here, but losing run up to 31.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -300%) Rubellite		100 100/1(-300%)																															(11) Rubellite 100/1, Poor form. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (1m, good to firm, 5/1) in June. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Modest form for William Haggas; watch market on stable debut.

18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

COPPER MOUNTAIN posted her best effort of the season when a close-up second over C&D earlier this month and a 2lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to prevent the Sir Percy filly from getting her head in front here. Billy McGarry was unable to justify favouritism on his fifth-placed effort in a classified stakes contest at Beverley last month, but better is expected now reverting to Tapeta. Calleveryoneuknow and Revoquable enter calculations too.

ROYAL PROSPECT shaped as if still in good form (travelled well) when seventh here last time and might be capable of getting his head back in front now. Recent C&D runner-up Copper Mountain is second choice ahead of Keeponbelieving, who is capable of playing a prominent role if reacting well to first-time blinkers.

The vote goes to triple course winner ROYAL PROSPECT who only found one too good over C&D on his penultimate start.

2	2 (2) (7/1 +0%) Crown Board		7 7/1(+0%)																															(2) Crown Board 7/1, 180,000 gns Lope De Vega gelding. Dam, useful French 9.5f-2m winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1½m winner Nice To See You, from family of Last Tycoon. Interesting to see what the betting makes of this newcomer. 180,000gns yearling; likely type on pedigree; yard 6-24 here; worth market check.
1	1 (1) (7/4 -17%) Dolce Courage		1.75 7/4(-17%)																															(1) Dolce Courage 7/4, Promising type. 4/1 and tongue strap on, won 11-runner novice at Southwell (7f) on debut 21 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Should have more to offer for his top stable 160,000gns yearling; highly promising 7f debut at Southwell when leading near line.
5	5 (5) (8/15 +36%) Leadman		0.533333 8/15(+36%)																															(5) Leadman 8/15, Kingman colt who showed plenty of promise when runner-up in 7f maidens at Newmarket and Newbury last summer. It's taken a long time to get him back to the track but he's still the one to beat. Classy juvenile form at 7f; looks sure to stay 1m but has been off since last August.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -52%) Very Classy		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Very Classy 50/1, Muhaarar filly. Betting should help guide to expectations with this one. Trip looks about right on pedigree but likely to need this debut experience.
4	4 (4) (80/1 -186%) Delta Legend		80 80/1(-186%)																															(4) Delta Legend 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, first run since leaving William Haggas when fourth of 5 in novice at Ripon (1½m, soft) 31 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Modest form at 1m2f (AW) and 1m4f (turf) for both yards; handicaps more likely.
3	3 (3) (80/1 -60%) Darkzideofthemoon		80 80/1(-60%)																															(3) Darkzideofthemoon 80/1, 66/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 34 days ago. 66-1, made low-key start when remote 6th in 7f Redcar maiden last month.
7	7 (7) (125/1 -150%) Nashid		125 125/1(-150%)																															(7) Nashid 125/1, Siyouni gelding who was sold for 3,000 gns earlier in the year. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 7f winner Hadaatha out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Hathrah. Out of 1m2f Polytrack winner; nice enough pedigree but this looks a tough debut.
6	6 (6) (200/1 -203%) Muddy Marvellous		200 200/1(-203%)																															(6) Muddy Marvellous 200/1, Koropick gelding. Dam 5f/6f winner. Likely outsider on debut. Out of winning Fibresand sprinter; not sure to want 1m on pedigree; likely best watched.
9	9 (9) (200/1 -279%) Miss Motivator		200 200/1(-279%)																															(9) Miss Motivator 200/1, Motivator filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f winner Fettuccine and winner abroad by Sommerabend. Dam Italian winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner). Bred to have a future but probably best to look elsewhere this time. Several winning siblings but enough speed in pedigree to hesitate over 1m on debut.
10	10 (10) (200/1 -150%) Pleasure Vampire		200 200/1(-150%)																															(10) Pleasure Vampire 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in novice at Redcar (1m, heavy) 11 days ago. Big prices and no impact in either start so far, at about 7f and 1m.
8	8 (8) (250/1 -279%) Eternal Sunshine		250 250/1(-279%)																															(8) Eternal Sunshine 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in seller at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft, 150/1) 15 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Moderate form at 5f and 1m4f; handicaps surely her best option after this.

19:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Leadman ran well on both starts as a juvenile with second places at Newmarket and Newbury, but the form hasn't worked out that well, and he is having his first start in over a year following a gelding operation. Andrew Balding's charge is entitled to be in the mix, but DOLCE COURAGE should have a fitness advantage. The winner of his only start at Southwell earlier this month by a short-head, he can only improve for that experience and may be able to give weight away all round. Crown Board is an interesting newcomer who may challenge for the places.

LEADMAN ran to a good level when runner-up on both starts last summer and can overcome his long absence and make it third time lucky under Oisin Murphy. Southwell debut winner Dolce Courage is the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomer Crown Board.

Leadman is the one to beat on form but he has an absence to overcome and DOLCE COURAGE may be able to give the weight away.

12	12 (12) (5/1 -25%) Water Of Leith		5 5/1(-25%)																															(12) Water Of Leith 5/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 10 days ago. Will be a threat if on-song. C&D win one year ago off 15lb higher; 0-11 this year but retains ability; not ruled out.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +8%) Asadjumeirah		6 6/1(+8%)																															(4) Asadjumeirah 6/1, C&D winner. Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 32 days ago, not clear run. Couldn't rule out. Conditions to suit but he's on a losing run and his yard have been quiet; others safer.
11	11 (11) (7/1 -17%) Bella Kopella		7 7/1(-17%)																															(11) Bella Kopella 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) here (5f) 25 days ago. Can make her presence felt. Two course wins over 7f; 5f turf winner; promising run in a race that's working out latest.
10	10 (10) (10/3 +33%) Carlton And Co		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(10) Carlton And Co 10/3, Winner here in August. 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap back here (7.1f) 32 days ago and he's a live each-way player off the same mark. 7f winner here in August; mixed since and needs the return to 6f to spark something extra.
3	3 (3) (11/5 +66%) Snash		2.2 11/5(+66%)																															(3) Snash 11/5, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Has slipped to a dangerous mark. On a lowly mark but hopes rest on today's drop in class perking him up; 2-3 on AW.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -14%) Thaki		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Thaki 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in August. 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 60 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Conditions to suit and he's won twice on turf for his new yard; not at best the last twice.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -67%) Misty Blues		20 20/1(-67%)																															(2) Misty Blues 20/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7.1f) 32 days ago. Would have a serious chance off this reduced mark if able to reproduce something akin to her 2-y-o form. Yard also saddles Snash. Useful 2yo but it's been a real struggle this year; accessories left off today; risky.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -14%) Ignac Lamar		25 25/1(-14%)																															(9) Ignac Lamar 25/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Rod Millman when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 19 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival, but he has enough to prove at present. Yard also represented by Water of Leith. Two 6f wins on Tapeta for Rod Millman; tailed off on heavy (7f) on recent stable debut.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -133%) Athollblair Boy		28 28/1(-133%)																															(5) Athollblair Boy 28/1, Seven-time C&D winner. 11/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm). Off 150 days and Bella Kopella appears to be the stable first-string. Three C&D wins last winter; likely to come on for this first outing in five months.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -106%) Daytona Lady		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Daytona Lady 33/1, 14/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 112 days ahead of this first run for yard after leaving John Ryan. Has work to do. Two AW wins for other yards; sold for 3,500gns in July; risks attached on stable debut.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -313%) Astapor		66 66/1(-313%)																															(8) Astapor 66/1, Four wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Pontefract in July. 17/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good) 71 days ago. 0-6 on the AW and others are more persuasive on balance. Four 5f wins this year but disappointing the last twice; something to prove on AW.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -100%) Invested		66 66/1(-100%)																															(7) Invested 66/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in May. Last of 12 in handicap (66/1) at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago. Readily passed over. No show in two runs for this yard (7f) but on a reduced mark; check betting.

19:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Athollblair Boy is a standing dish here with nine wins here dating back to 2017, but he is now 10 and he may have to settle for a place for now. Snash continues to slip down the handicap and drops in class after a ninth at Doncaster, but the narrowest vote goes to BELLA KOPELLA. Fifth but beaten less than two lengths here over shorter, she races off 2lb lower now and as a three-year-old, there may be improvement to come.

The Tim Easterby-trained duo SNASH and Misty Blues have both slipped to very dangerous marks and it would be no surprise were one of them to pop up here. The latter has the most to prove on the back of a tame all-weather debut here last month, whereas Snash is 2-3 on synthetics (and 2-2 here), which tilts the scales firmly in his favour. Bella Kopella wasn't beaten far off a 2 lb higher mark here last time and is third choice ahead of Asadjumeirah, Carlton And Co and Water of Leith.

The form of the race in which BELLA KOPELLA finished fifth here last time has worked out well and she can gain a third course win.

2	2 (2) (2/1 +15%) Sydney Bay		2 2/1(+15%)																															(2) Sydney Bay 2/1, First run since leaving Ann Duffield when winning an 11-runner C&D handicap (3/1) 14 days ago, by head from Kasino. Remains on a good mark nudged up just 2 lb and he's a big player. Hampered early but just prevailed over C&D on debut for new yard; still well treated.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +68%) Fighting Chance		8 8/1(+68%)																															(11) Fighting Chance 8/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. ½-length third of 12 to Eyes in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Engaged 7.30 here Monday. First sign of ability when close 3rd over C&D this month; down to run here last night.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -227%) Blackcurrent		9 9/1(-227%)																															(4) Blackcurrent 9/1, Six-time course winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at this course (5f) 32 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Useful AW strike-rate; five course wins, the latest over C&D in September; solid chance.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +25%) Lupset Flossy Pop		9 9/1(+25%)																															(7) Lupset Flossy Pop 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 18 days ago. Enters calculations. C&D winner off 13lb higher last autumn; not clear run latest but looked in fair form.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +92%) Churchill Bay		3.333333 10/3(+92%)																															(6) Churchill Bay 10/3, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 50 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Maiden; big weights chance on C&D form in March but not in the same form since.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Brother Dave		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Brother Dave 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago, but will need to improve upon that if he's to play a leading role in this contest. Promising handicap debut over C&D after a break; scope for improvement; can be involved.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +13%) Flavius Titus		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Flavius Titus 14/1, Latest win at Thirsk in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Sole AW win in 2017; often spoils chance with slow starts; first run here for 2 years.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -56%) Tathmeen		14 14/1(-56%)																															(10) Tathmeen 14/1, Seven-time course winner. 3 wins from 23 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Still, others make more appeal on this occasion. Seven course wins, most recently in February; not at full strength in recent AW starts.
12	12 (12) (16/1 -45%) Kasino		16 16/1(-45%)																															(12) Kasino 16/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent head second of 11 to Sydney Bay in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner as 2yo; taken a while to find form in 2023; close 2nd to Sydney Bay latest.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +0%) Cuban Rock		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Cuban Rock 16/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 7/1) 15 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Hood back on. Others preferred. Has form from 5f-1m; 0-2 on AW but seems to handle Tapeta; needs best form to figure.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -82%) Mai Alward		40 40/1(-82%)																															(8) Mai Alward 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft, 14/1) 43 days ago. Readily passed over. Dropped down weights; good 7f run here in August; not looked one to side with since.

20:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Blackcurrent brings consistency to the table after four top three finishes since August, but they have not gone unnoticed and he races off his highest mark since March. He can still go close in this line-up but may struggle to give 5lb to KASINO. Only beaten a head here in a similar race earlier this month when caught close home, he races off 1lb more which may be pretty generous. Eyes has more to do off her new mark, but is another who could get involved where it matters.

SYDNEY BAY and Kasino were the first two home in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago and a repeat could be on the cards. The former was making his debut for Geoffrey Harker on the back of a four-month break and is taken to again emerge on top having been raised just 2 lb. Blackcurrent has been in good form of late and is likely to be on the premises once more, while Eyes, who scored on the same card here as the selection two weeks ago, is also shortlisted.

Blackcurrent and Brother Dave are respected but SYDNEY BAY overcame some trouble to win over C&D and is taken to follow up.

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.
