16:55 Newcastle (Class 4) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +36%) Best Adventure	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(1) Best Adventure 9/2, Below form when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a Nottingham handicap last time. Had been in good form previously, and the yard won this race last year. Effective over 10-12f on a sound surface and usually consistent. 1lb above last winning mark; has run quite well on AW; shortlisted back down in grade.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/8 +58%) Census	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(5) Census 15/8, Didn't settle when fourth, beaten 9l, in a Newmarket novice last time. Effective at 10f on a sound surface; a big gelding who should continue to progress. 1-1 on Tapeta and makes handicap debut; still unexposed, but stamina may be an issue.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 -78%) Niminy Piminy	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Niminy Piminy 4/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 81 over 8f at Sandown last time. Effective at 7-8f on a sound surface and may still have a little more to come. Unexposed 3yo whose record on AW reads 112; worth a go over this longer trip; respected.
4	10 4th (10) (25/1 0%) It's A Love Thing	25 25/1(0%)	(10) It's A Love Thing 25/1, Produced a poor effort switched to all-weather, finishing down the field here most recently. Best suited by 12f or a stiff 10f on a sound surface, but has lost form. Dual C&D winner and 1lb below last winning marks, but recent efforts have been blowouts.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -17%) Lady Chartwell	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Lady Chartwell 14/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a Salisbury handicap last time. Returns from a short break; suited by 10f on all-weather but can be in and out of form. Still 4lb higher than for her sole success; failed to beat a rival at Salisbury last time.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +17%) Jujubella	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Jujubella 10/1, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time after previously good efforts. Effective over 10-12f on any surface, though recent form has tailed off. Just 1lb above last winning mark; has won three times here this year; worth considering.
6th	3 6th (3) (17/2 +29%) Grecian Legacy	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(3) Grecian Legacy 17/2, Ran about to form when beaten 6 1/4l in a Salisbury handicap last time. Effective at 10-11f on all-weather and yet to convince with stamina for further, but largely running to form. Not at best in recent outings; still 6lb higher than for his sole win; others preferred.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/1 +36%) Sea Legend	9 9/1(+36%)	(9) Sea Legend 9/1, Below form when dropped in trip and beaten 8l in an Ayr handicap over 8f last time. Usually held up, rides from a top course jockey, and effective over 10-11f on all-weather despite poor form this term. Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D and now 8lb lower; big run possible with more luck.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -133%) Hosanna Power	28 28/1(-133%)	(12) Hosanna Power 28/1, Ridden to stay and ran poorly when up in trip over 12f here last time. Suited by 10f and acts on most ground bar fast; the drop in trip should help. In the frame in three of his four starts over C&D this year, but losing run up to 13.
10th	4 10th (4) (20/1 -122%) Inappropriate	20 20/1(-122%)	(4) Inappropriate 20/1, Below form in a handicap hurdle on his most recent start in April. Showed solid Flat form over 10-12f including on all-weather in 2024. Returns from a break after a wind operation. Consistent on Flat last year and 2-5 over hurdles; off six months having had wind surgery.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 +0%) Flickering Halo	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Flickering Halo 25/1, Bit below form when comfortably held in a 1m5f Ayr handicap last time. Effective over 10-12f on all-weather, though below par on his last two starts. 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims on that form.
12th	13 12th (13) (12/1 0%) Catherine's Gift	12 12/1(0%)	(13) Catherine's Gift 12/1, Below novice form in her second handicap, beaten 4l off 68 over 11f at Kempton last time. Suited by 10f on a sound surface but has something to prove in handicaps. 0-5 though poorly drawn last time; interesting to see if she again attracts support.

16:55 Newcastle (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Census boasts an appealing profile, winning one from his three starts in maiden/novice company, and is one to watch in the betting market on his handicap bow. However, NIMINY PIMINY was given an enterprising ride when beaten a length into second at Sandown last time, racing wide throughout, and could go one better. The handicapper may have been kind to only put her up 1lb for that effort and an all-weather record of 2-3 further enhances her claims. Best Adventure is another to keep an eye on.

It may be worth chancing SEA LEGEND who is 8lb lower than for his sole win over C&D and has not enjoyed the rub of the green lately.

2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +70%) Educate	3 3/1(+70%)	(4) Educate 3/1, Ran poorly again on fast ground when fourth beaten 19l over 11f at Carlisle latest; off a short break; suited by 12f and most of his form has come on the all-weather; chance he will return to form on synthetic surface. Changed stables since struggling on turf at Carlisle (1m3f) in August; consult the market..
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -150%) Blue Siam	25 25/1(-150%)	(7) Blue Siam 25/1, Ran to handicap form when beaten 5 1/4l over 8f here last time; effective at 1m and acts on the all-weather; bit more needed now handicapping.

4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -45%) Star Cast	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) Star Cast 4/1, Produced a better effort when beaten 2l off 65 over 10f at Ayr last time; effective at 10f and may stay 12f; seems to like testing conditions; fair mark. Split in-form pair at Ayr (1m2f, heavy) last week; same mark back on AW; one to consider..
5th	5 5th (5) (5/2 +29%) Big Win	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Big Win 5/2, Well backed and run probably reflected ability when beaten 3l off 60 over 2m at Southwell last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 11f, stays 2m and acts on the all-weather; looks on a workable mark. Failed to oblige on Southwell handicap debut (2m; 11-10); back to 12.5f in cheekpieces..
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 -85%) Bunker Bay	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Bunker Bay 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 62 at Wolverhampton last time; effective over 11-12f and acts on any surface; mark looks a little ungenerous. 1-24; runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m4f) recently after a four-month break; a possible..
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -25%) Bruce Banner	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Bruce Banner 20/1, Made too much use of and was well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective over 12f with all worthwhile form on the all-weather; has lost form. Dropped out tamely in last of eight (Star Cast fourth) over C&D recently; look elsewhere..
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 -100%) Cushty	12 12/1(-100%)	(8) Cushty 12/1, Game effort when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 50 here last time; effective over 8-12f, probably stays 14f, and acts on a sound surface; fair mark.

17:30 Newcastle (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

STAR CAST produced her best effort yet when filling the runner-up spot over 1m2f at Ayr earlier in the month and runs off 2lb lower here. Providing Gemma Tutty's filly can back that display up, she will prove hard to beat. Despite failing to justify favouritism on his handicap debut, Big Win still showed promise when finishing third over an extended 2m at Southwell and the son of Galiway will appreciate this drop back in distance. Cushty isn't out of it either.

The focus is on Big Win and STAR CAST. Gemma Tutty's filly split an in-form pair at Ayr last week, so receives the cautious vote.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +42%) Ten Carat Harry	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Ten Carat Harry 7/1, Made plenty of use of up in trip on soft ground when 4l third in a novice over 7f at Catterick last time; effective at 6f, acts on all-weather; likeable. Wolverhampton novice winner (6f); encountered soft ground over 7f at Catterick next time..
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +9%) Sioux Perfect	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Sioux Perfect 5/1, Improved in blinkers when winning the Tattersalls Somerville Auction race at Newmarket in July by 1l last time; off a short break; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; progressive.

On an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f); 6lb higher..
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +0%) Dublin Bay	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Dublin Bay 6/1, Scored by 4l off 63 at Doncaster three starts back; didn't stay 7f on soft last time; suited by 6f and a sound surface; seems to have plateaued.

18:00 Newcastle (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ROMEO MONTAGUE is progressing nicely and got off the mark by a nose at Lingfield latest. Richard Spencer's youngster makes his first appearance in a nursery and could defy his opening rating of 78. Dandy's Rocket bounced back to form when second over 7f at Chelmsford earlier in the month and he warrants respect cutting back in trip. Of the remainder, Pull The Rug makes most appeal.

Sioux Perfect, aided by blinkers, has raised her game. However, in an interesting nursery, the pick is Ed Bethell's PULL THE RUG.

2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -100%) Empirestateofmind	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(1) Empirestateofmind 7/2, Did what was necessary in a modest event when winning a seller at Musselburgh over 9f by 2l last time. Effective at 7f to 8f, acts on any surface, and arrives in good form. Twice runner-up in four visits here and respected despite 15lb worth of penalties.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +13%) Tempus	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Tempus 7/1, Produced a poor effort when down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recently. Effective at 8f to 10f and acts on any surface except in extreme ground; form has tailed off. Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts; may find a couple too strong.
4	3 4th (3) (15/8 +83%) Stanage	1.875 15/8(+83%)	(3) Stanage 15/8, Would probably have run to form with a clear passage when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f to 8f and acts on the all-weather; in fair form. Dual 7f winner; didn't enjoy much luck over C&D last time, but may find a couple too good.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 -88%) Look Back Smiling	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(6) Look Back Smiling 15/2, Close to form when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l in a 7f handicap at Ayr latest. Effective at 7f to 8f, suited by plenty of cut, and in fair form. Running well in handicaps lately; record here reads 6231; major player on these terms.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +58%) Abduction	5 5/1(+58%)	(2) Abduction 5/1, Below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a 7f handicap at Ayr last time. Effective at 6f to 7f and acts on any surface but prefers some cut over shorter trips; a little out of form. Not very consistent and this stiff mile may just find him out; others preferred.

18:30 Newcastle (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having made light work of the opposition when making all at Musselburgh earlier this month, Empirestateofmind merits respect in his follow-up bid. However, LOOK BACK SMILING boasts some solid handicap form at the foot of the weights and rates the one to beat on this switch to selling company. Dual C&D winner Cephalus may appreciate a return to this venue and is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to LOOK BACK SMILING who is favoured by the conditions and has winning form here.

Trainer in good form; effective from 8f to 10f but best at 1m on a sound surface; poor strike rate and needs to settle. 0-21 in handicaps but runner-up three times in five visits here this year; each-way claims.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 -71%) Criminal Shore	12 12/1(-71%)	(7) Criminal Shore 12/1, Yard won this last year. Ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newmarket last time. Effective at 1m and acts on the all-weather; generally consistent though his mark looks a little tough. 1-12; doesn't appear to have anything in hand of his mark.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -11%) Eve's Boy	10 10/1(-11%)	(8) Eve's Boy 10/1, Below form when beaten 7l in a 7f handicap at Ayr last time. Has a top course jockey booked; effective at 7f and untried on the all-weather; out of form at present. Half-brother to a three-time Tapeta winner including twice here; worth a second look.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -340%) Urban Road	33 33/1(-340%)	(5) Urban Road 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 78 over 10f here last time. Suited by 9/10f, with all recent form on the all-weather; consistent prior to a break. May prefer a stiffer test now, but his record here still puts him on the shortlist.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/8 +44%) Paladin	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(4) Paladin 15/8, Ran to form when switched to the all-weather, finishing second and beaten 2l off 76 last time.

6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 +25%) Atlantic Gamble	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(2) Atlantic Gamble 9/2, Made plenty of use of but produced a poor run when down the field in a handicap at Goodwood last time. Effective at 1m, suited by cut and the all-weather; bit to prove after two poor runs in good races. Six wins last year and 2lb below last winning mark, but has been modest the last twice.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +30%) Man Of Desert	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Man Of Desert 7/1, Didn't stay when racing freely and was well beaten in a 10f handicap at Sandown last time. Returns from a short break; best suited by a mile and a sound surface; below form on his only all-weather start, with a possibly stiff mark. 0-6; returns from 85 days off having been gelded and needs to improve.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -25%) Heavenly Heather	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Heavenly Heather 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a mark of 80 over 6f here last time; wide draw. Effective at 6/7f, suited by a sound surface, though her mark may now be high enough. Shock winner of the Fillies And Mares Championship here in April, but has stamina to prove.

19:00 Newcastle (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

PALADIN returned to form with a good second at Southwell a fortnight ago and could go one better this evening. A 2lb higher mark looks workable for Charlie Johnston's gelding and he edges the verdict over top-rated Heavenly Heather. The four-year-old has finished third on her last two outings over 6f and looks ready for another crack at 1m. The down-in-class Atlantic Gamble could also have a say reverting to the all-weather.

The choice is PALADIN based on his Southwell success last December and his recent second of 13 back there.

2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -56%) Ignac Lamar	14 14/1(-56%)	(1) Ignac Lamar 14/1, Poor effort on soft ground when well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on the all-weather; has regressed. Not at best on turf since a wind op in July; return to AW not enough to tempt.
3	10 3rd (10) (22/1 -22%) Yaahobby	22 22/1(-22%)	(10) Yaahobby 22/1, Close to form despite finishing position when beaten 3l off 45 over 8f here last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, all recent form on the all-weather; mark a bit stiff. Two C&D wins last autumn; returns from 190 days having undergone a third wind operation.

6th	14 6th (14) (28/1 -12%) Teardrops	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Teardrops 28/1, No worthwhile form to date; visor applied for the first time; yet to show any sign of ability at sprint trips. Poor form in three sprint novice runs; up in trip/new headgear for handicap debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -233%) Madame Plaintiff	40 40/1(-233%)	(7) Madame Plaintiff 40/1, Close to her best when beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f at Hamilton last time; suited by 1m and acts on the all-weather; currently in moderate form. Some promise for Alan Brown this year but strike-rate of 1-20 tempers enthusiasm.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 -25%) Cable Beach	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Cable Beach 50/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recently; returning from a break and drawn wide; has shown little worthwhile form.

12th	8 12th (8) (50/1 -456%) Langholm	50 50/1(-456%)	(8) Langholm 50/1, Close to form down in trip when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Catterick last time; enjoys making the running; suited by 7f, acts on any surface; consistent and game, mark about right. Multiple turf winner; handles Tapeta but others in this field are more compelling.
13th	3 13th (3) (9/1 -20%) Filey Beach	9 9/1(-20%)	(3) Filey Beach 9/1, Ran to form when second beaten 5 1/2l off 55 last time; effective from 6f to 1m, both wins made when leading; mark remains competitive. Two 7f wins in recent months and solid second latest; easy lead unlikely on stable debut.

Good progress since headgear went on; 2nd to handicap blot here (1m) on Tuesday; e-w shout.

19:30 Newcastle (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RING OF GOLD has upped his game since returning to 7f, as displayed when recording a track-and-trip double here last month, and further glory could be imminent. The eight-year-old's will to win is sure to stand him in good stead and a further 2lb nudge up the ratings appears surmountable. Woodrafff is only 4lb higher than his latest triumph over C&D and is feared most, ahead of stable debutant Filey Beach.

Several are in-form contenders but WOODRAAFFF (nap) appeals most after a smooth C&D win last month. Ring Of Gold is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (11/2 +27%) Bambalam	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(2) Bambalam 11/2, Run probably reflected ability when beaten 2l off 75 at Wolverhampton last time. Represents a top course trainer. Effective over 7f to 8f on all-weather, though current mark looks a bit stiff. Not living up to his price tag and looked a tricky ride when fifth at Wolverhampton latest.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 +71%) Political Power	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(9) Political Power 7/2, Probably didn't stay when down the field in a 10f handicap at Newmarket (July) on latest start. Returns from a short break following a wind operation. Effective at 1m on a sound surface and the drop in trip should suit. Infrequent winner but conditions no problem and he's had a wind op since last seen.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 -13%) King's School	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(3) King's School 17/2, Scored by 1/2l off 69 here on his penultimate start and ran about to form when third, beaten 2 1/4l off 73 last time. Suited by 7f on the all-weather and in solid form. All three wins have come over C&D; should be in the shake up once again.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -50%) Kirkdale	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Kirkdale 9/1, Needed the race when down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recently. Visor applied for the first time. Suited by 7f and acts on all-weather, but current mark looks stiff based on handicap form. 7f 2yo winner; no progress in handicaps this year and now tried in a visor.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -285%) Samra Star	25 25/1(-285%)	(6) Samra Star 25/1, Back to form when landing a handicap by 2l off 65 here last time. Has a wide draw but is effective from 7f to 9f on all-weather. New mark looks fair. Won a weak C&D fillies' handicap two weeks ago; a 5lb rise looks stiff enough.
6th	11 6th (11) (18/1 -13%) Swiss Ace	18 18/1(-13%)	(11) Swiss Ace 18/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Has a top course jockey booked. Effective over 7f to 8f and probably best on a sound surface, but has something to prove after that poor run. Faces his optimum conditions and on a dangerous mark; market useful after five months off.
7th	1 7th (1) (18/5 -20%) Yaajooz	3.6 18/5(-20%)	(1) Yaajooz 18/5, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a mark of 73 here last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective at 7f to 8f, acts on all-weather, and remains in good form. Poor strike-rate but threatening for new yard, including C&D latest; new headgear today.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -125%) Lessay	18 18/1(-125%)	(7) Lessay 18/1, Didn't quite see it out when back up in trip, beaten 6l in a handicap over 8f at Kempton last time. Was in good form prior. Effective over 7f to 8f on all-weather and in decent form. Starts out for his new stable off a reduced mark; risky but not impossible.
9th	8 9th (8) (20/1 -150%) Cusack	20 20/1(-150%)	(8) Cusack 20/1, Showed better form but not the most willing effort when second, beaten 4l in a handicap over 8f here latest. Effective at 7f to 8f on all-weather but can be irresolute. Prolific course winner; running himself back into form and he's one to take seriously.
10th	5 10th (5) (10/3 +67%) The Childe Of Hale	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(5) The Childe Of Hale 10/3, Scored by 3/4l off 68 at Doncaster on his penultimate start but didn't stay the trip when stepped up to a mile last time. Has a wide draw, yet the drop back to 7f on all-weather should help. 7f Doncaster win in July; low-key run over 1m latest; could resume progress here.
11th	12 11th (12) (50/1 -25%) Neapolitan	50 50/1(-25%)	(12) Neapolitan 50/1, Produced a poor effort when down the field in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Trainer in good form. Effective at 6f to 7f on all-weather, though has plenty to prove despite a lower mark. Struggled for current yard, including after a wind op; cheekpieces now added.
12th	10 12th (10) (33/1 -32%) Angel Of England	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Angel Of England 33/1, Below form when back up in trip and looks better suited by a shorter distance, finishing down the field in a handicap over 8f at Doncaster most recently. Drawn wide and has a bit to find. Chance on last winter's best but he is into a competitive race after 201 days off.

20:00 Newcastle (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to YAAJOOZ, who was narrowly denied over C&D last month and looks the one to beat on this occasion off 2lb higher, with Joanna Mason returning to the saddle. Raised 5lb for her most recent victory over track and trip earlier in the month, Samra Star is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Cusack and fellow course winner King's School.

King's School has his ideal conditions but THE CHILDE OF HALE is low mileage and can bounce back from a low-key Ayr run last time.

Winless for 14 months; no match for Second Fiddle over C&D recently; easing mark helpful..

20:30 Newcastle (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SECOND FIDDLE has gone from strength to strength since joining the Iain Jardine stable and a 5lb penalty for her most recent easy success over C&D may not be enough to prevent her from landing the five-timer. Mercurius Power (third) is 10lb better off with the selection for finishing two and a quarter lengths behind her here last month and he can have a say, along with Electric Avenue, who ran her best race for some time when second over C&D most recently.

This revolves around SECOND FIDDLE. She bolted up over C&D on Tuesday, making it 4-4 for Iain Jardine, and can defy a 5lb penalty.

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.
