(2) Charlotte's Web 13/8, Promising individual. 13/8, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 41 days ago, impressively. Has to be taken seriously. 5lb higher than for her successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton; has more to come.

2nd (3) (11/2 -22%) Johnny Ringo
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(3) Johnny Ringo 11/2, Course winner. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, staying on strongly. Heading back in the right direction recently. Fourth in a slowly run race over C&D last time; may not have this run to suit either.

3rd (7) (7/2 +42%) Humble Spark
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(7) Humble Spark 7/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Creditable second of 17 in handicap (11/2) at York (10.2f, soft) 54 days ago. Can give a good account. Consistent since the spring including two wins over C&D, but race may not be run to suit.

4th (4) (9/2 +25%) Typical Woman
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Typical Woman 9/2, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 12/1) 27 days ago, clear of rest. Player. Major improver on turf of late and has winning form on Polytrack; a player.
5th

5th (5) (25/1 +0%) Highwaygrey
25
25/1(+0%)
(5) Highwaygrey 25/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 29 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces back on. C&D winner but modest here last time and still 7lb above last winning mark; tongue-tie on.
6th

6th (1) (8/1 +60%) Cockalorum
8
8/1(+60%)
(1) Cockalorum 8/1, Below-par twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (10.2f, heavy, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back down in grade, but has to put a modest effort at York last month behind him.
7th

7th (6) (25/1 -355%) Three Platoon
25
25/1(-355%)
(6) Three Platoon 25/1, 15/2 and visor on for 1st time in this code, last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Visor back on. Fair on the Flat, won on last Flat run. Well beaten over hurdles last time, but had previously twice won well over C&D; respected.
14:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CHARLOTTE'S WEB made a winning handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in September. The Night Of Thunder filly looks certain to have more in the locker, and she is taken to defy a 5lb rise en route to further success. Typical Woman came up short when finishing second in her hat-trick bid at Newmarket last month but this is a drop in class and she features prominently in calculations. Three Platoon struggled over timber last time out, but he's of definite interest back on the Flat.
CHARLOTTE'S WEB took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow at Wolverhampton in good style 6 weeks ago and can defy a 5 lb rise with further progress likely. Typical Woman was unable to complete the hat-trick when second at Newmarket but she still pulled clear of the rest and remains of interest, while Johnny Ringo caught the eye over C&D last month.
This can go to CHARLOTTE'S WEB (nap) who won nicely on her Wolverhampton handicap debut. It's likely she still has improvement left.
(4) Monticristo Boy 9/2, Tongue strap on for first time, another sound effort when fourth of 10 in nursery at this course (6f, 9/2) 14 days ago. No reason why he won't give it another good go. In the frame in all four starts in nurseries; shouldn't mind the return to 5f.
2

2nd (2) (15/8 +53%) Blue Lakota
1.875
15/8(+53%)
(2) Blue Lakota 15/8, Limited impact in his qualifying runs, 150/1 when last of 10 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 64 days ago. In good hands switched to a nursery. Well beaten in three starts on turf, but is a half-brother to a couple of AW winners.
3
1
3rd (1) (4/1 +56%) Lima Sierra
4
4/1(+56%)
(1) Lima Sierra 4/1, Backward step on third start when sixth of 10 in novice (100/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Stable won this with a nursery/AW debutant last year; worth a market check.
4
5
4th (5) (3/1 -118%) Kaleidoscope Eyes
3
3/1(-118%)
(5) Kaleidoscope Eyes 3/1, First run since leaving Michael Attwater when good second of 12 in nursery (2/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Down in trip. Shortlist material with prospect of more to come for this stable. Second on stable debut over 7f last time and 2lb well in; drop to 5f an interesting move.
5th
3
5th (3) (10/1 +17%) Invincible Love
10
10/1(+17%)
(3) Invincible Love 10/1, Raced wider than ideal but ultimately finished last of 11 in nursery at Kempton (6f, 18/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut trying the minimum trip for the first time. Moderate form to date; needs the drop in trip and switch to Tapeta to make a difference.
6th
6
6th (6) (28/1 -100%) La Mer Grise
28
28/1(-100%)
(6) La Mer Grise 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, firm, 150/1). Off 91 days. Makes handicap debut. Well held in three starts on turf, but her dam won twice on the AW; worth a market check.
15:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Kaleidoscope Eyes finished a creditable second over 7f at Southwell last time out. If coping with the drop in trip, he can be a real force from an unchanged rating, but preference is for BLUE LAKOTA, who showed signs of ability across his three runs in novice company. A half-brother to two winners on the all-weather, the switch to nurseries looks more realistic and an opening mark of 55 may underestimate Kevin Ryan's gelding. Monticristo Boy can chase the pair home.
KALEIDOSCOPE EYES surpassed the form for her previous yard when runner-up at Southwell last week and she has strong claims of going one place better. Monticristo Boy is solid at this level and feared most.
Preference is for KALEIDOSCOPE EYES, second on stable debut at Southwell last time. He is 2lb well in and a drop to 5f is interesting.
(7) Eva's Eyes 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Darryll Holland when sixth of 7 in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) 48 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Well held in three starts on turf; probably only of interest if backed on nursery/AW debut.
1
1
1st (1) (7/1 +50%) Say What You See
7
7/1(+50%)
(1) Say What You See 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in novice at Redcar (8f, soft, 66/1) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Hinted at ability in three starts on turf; open to improvement on AW/nursery debut.
2
4
2nd (4) (16/1 -100%) Falaise Blanc
16
16/1(-100%)
(4) Falaise Blanc 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, below form seventh of 12 in nursery at this course (7.1f) 17 days ago. Finished behind Fastnet Jenkins on nursery debut here last time; more needed.
3
3
3rd (3) (10/1 -54%) Miss Lalita
10
10/1(-54%)
(3) Miss Lalita 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 6/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Worth another chance back on AW. Regressive since a fair debut here; needs to bounce back on nursery debut.
4
2
4th (2) (7/2 +42%) Coverbridge
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(2) Coverbridge 7/2, Course winner. Winner here in June. 22/1, sixth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f) 22 days ago. Respected returned to a more suitable trip. Course winner over 7f who has been held in nurseries since, but this stiff mile may suit.
5th
5
5th (5) (4/1 -33%) Fastnet Jenkins
4
4/1(-33%)
(5) Fastnet Jenkins 4/1, Improved when fourth of 12 on nursery bow at this course (7.1f) 17 days ago. Has good chance with a repeat. Finished a staying-on fourth on nursery debut here this month; extra furlong should suit.
6th
6
6th (6) (9/1 +18%) Owt For Nowt
9
9/1(+18%)
(6) Owt For Nowt 9/1, Seventh of 11 in nursery (28/1) at this course (10.2f) 29 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Third over C&D in September but held over 1m2f last time; frame possibilities.
7th
8
7th (8) (2/1 +60%) U S Grant
2
2/1(+60%)
(8) U S Grant 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in novice at York (7.9f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Failed to beat a rival in three starts on turf; bred to be much better than that.
15:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
An open contest with a few of these expected to improve for the switch to nurseries, so only a tentative vote can go to U S GRANT. The gelded son of Camelot faced a stiff task at York last time and, though yet to beat a rival, his latest effort wasn't devoid of promise. He's a half-brother to a few useful types and, from a basement mark with cheekpieces applied for the first time, it would come as no surprise to see him step forward. Miss Lalita has already proven her liking for this surface and she is considered, along with Fastnet Jenkins.
FASTNET JENKINS took a step forward when fourth on her nursery bow here last time and gets the vote over Miss Lalita and Coverbridge.
The vote goes to previous course winner COVERBRIDGE. The evidence of his last two starts suggests this stiff mile may suit him.
(1) Dimsons 1/3, Fair gelding. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 25/1) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Claims are crystal clear in a very thin race with 6f likely to suit. Hasn't built on his Kempton reappearance, but won't find many easier opportunities.
2
2
2nd (2) (5/2 +58%) Instant Bond
2.5
5/2(+58%)
(2) Instant Bond 5/2, Sixth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 66/1) on debut 22 days ago, very slowly away. Probably needs more time. A hint of ability on his Southwell debut last month, but improvement will be required.
3
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -167%) Bear Rock
20
20/1(-167%)
(4) Bear Rock 20/1, Hooded, sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 150/1) on debut 32 days ago. Entitled to build on that up in trip. Well held on her Wolverhampton debut; extra furlong may suit but improvement required.
4
3
4th (3) (66/1 +0%) Turkish Tiger
66
66/1(+0%)
(3) Turkish Tiger 66/1, Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 100/1) 14 days ago. Poor form in seven starts and has an official mark of 40; no appeal.
16:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A small field over the six furlongs could play into the hands of DIMSONS, who may make all dropping back a furlong. Caught late on over further at Kempton to go down by a neck in May before being beaten twice since, that still looks the best form on offer. Instant Bond showed some promise despite a slow start when sixth at Southwell and he may follow the suggestion home, leaving Bear Rock as the tentative suggestion for third place.
This is a good deal easier than the handicap DIMSONS contested at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and with 6f no issue and credible rivals thin on the ground, he really should make no mistake. Instant Bond is the tentative forecast shout.
This is about as weak as you can get. DIMSONS hasn't built on his promising return, but his form is still way above that of the others.
16:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Blue Force 11/2, C&D winner. Winner here in September. Good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/2) 18 days ago. Looks competitive on form. His two best runs have come over C&D; not fully exposed; should go well again.
2
8
2nd (8) (5/1 +17%) Calafrio
5
5/1(+17%)
(8) Calafrio 5/1, Winner at Thirsk in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 13/2) 11 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 6f win at Thirsk in August; good 2nd at Southwell latest; drop to 5f worth exploring.
3
2
3rd (2) (14/1 -75%) Howzak
14
14/1(-75%)
(2) Howzak 14/1, Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 7/2) 8 days ago. Possibilities. Prominent racer; solid efforts in 5f Tapeta handicaps the last twice; vulnerable late on.
4
10
4th (10) (12/1 0%) She'sashambles
12
12/1(0%)
(10) She'sashambles 12/1, Winner at Thirsk in August. 12/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 17 days ago. Needs considering. Comes here in good order and she holds each-way claims once again.
5th
11
5th (11) (22/1 -22%) Cuban Rock
22
22/1(-22%)
(11) Cuban Rock 22/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 10 days ago. One for the shortlist. Ran okay over C&D ten days ago but more will be needed to win here.
6th
3
6th (3) (11/1 -83%) Rogue De Vega
11
11/1(-83%)
(3) Rogue De Vega 11/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Can give a good account. Good second at Southwell last time but overall record suggests he's not sure to back it up.
7th
4
7th (4) (17/2 +29%) Phoenix Star
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(4) Phoenix Star 17/2, 5-time C&D winner. 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good), missing break. Off 99 days. Has work to do. Has his optimum conditions today and returns to AW on a good mark; one for the shortlist.
8th
6
8th (6) (9/2 +44%) Three Beauz
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(6) Three Beauz 9/2, C&D winner. Winner here in July. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 13/2) 4 days ago so needs to bounce back. C&D win in July; had wind op prior to Monday's Southwell sixth; not discounted.
9th
9
9th (9) (14/1 +44%) Second Collection
14
14/1(+44%)
(9) Second Collection 14/1, Latest win at Bath in June. 25/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not at her best on last two starts; most recent AW run was a winning one; first course run.
10th
5
10th (5) (10/1 -67%) Jack Of Clubs
10
10/1(-67%)
(5) Jack Of Clubs 10/1, Latest win at Beverley in July. 18/5, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 40 days ago. In the picture once more. Not the most consistent but capable off this mark and a stiff 5f no problem; respected.
11th
7
11th (7) (15/2 -15%) Northerner
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(7) Northerner 15/2, Good second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 10 days ago. Can go well again. 8-race maiden but her last two C&D runs have been encouraging and she's a strong contender.
16:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Trainer Jessica Macey took this race last year with Jenever and bids to repeat the dose with Phoenix Star, a five-time C&D winner (the latest off 2lb higher) who could get involved again. Blue Force may prove popular despite carrying top-weight after his Wolverhampton second, but NORTHERNER is narrowly preferred. Due to go up 1lb for future contests after his recent C&D second, stall one has produced two of the six winners of this contest and that may be all the advantage he needs.
Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to CALAFRIO who is able to race off the same mark as when a resurgent Southwell second last time out. C&D winner Blue Force heads the list of dangers with in-form pair Northerner and Jack of Clubs both firmly in the mix too. Cuban Rock completes the shortlist.
An open race in which PHOENIX STAR is marginally preferred to Blue Force and Northerner.
(3) Rogue Encore 7/2, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 55 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Disappointing at Haydock last time and now 0-6; needs to resume progress; cheekpieces on.
2
7
2nd (7) (10/1 +50%) Wind River
10
10/1(+50%)
(7) Wind River 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 33/1) 37 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut with more required. Two poor efforts since a promising return; needs the switch to the AW to help.
3
2
3rd (2) (12/1 +40%) Bear Force One
12
12/1(+40%)
(2) Bear Force One 12/1, Quirky sort. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Six runs since returning for this yard in June have yielded little; best watched.
4
1
4th (1) (7/1 -8%) Siam Fox
7
7/1(-8%)
(1) Siam Fox 7/1, Latest win at Windsor in June. 66/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago. Needs considering. Has won on Tapeta; considered down to a Class 5 handicap for the first time on the AW.
5th
5
5th (5) (11/4 +8%) Commander Of Life
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(5) Commander Of Life 11/4, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, better than the result. Should go well. Has twice run well since joining this yard and looked unlucky not to go closer last time.
6th
6
6th (6) (28/1 -40%) Carnival Zain
28
28/1(-40%)
(6) Carnival Zain 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 33/1) 8 days ago. More is needed. Unplaced in all 13 starts since his latest success despite a sliding mark.
7th
8
7th (8) (7/2 +13%) Paladin
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(8) Paladin 7/2, 6/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Has run well a couple of times since returning; still to convince that he wants this far.
8th
4
8th (4) (10/1 -11%) African Spirit
10
10/1(-11%)
(4) African Spirit 10/1, Course winner. Last of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 11/1) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Every chance if back to best. Impressive winning debut here as a 2yo, but ended up well beaten in last three starts.
17:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Rogue Encore was supported in the market at Haydock when finishing sixth of 11, but connections add first-time cheekpieces here as he drops a class looking for a better performance. He can go well, but AFRICAN SPIRIT could make the most of a drop in trip after campaigning unsuccessfully over further in better company. His one win was here over 7f on debut, and a repeat of that form may be all he needs. Wind River is another dropping back in trip and he may follow them home.
COMMANDER OF LIFE is on a long losing run but is weighted to go close on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton fourth. In-form top-weight Siam Fox appeals next, with Bear Force One the pick of the remainder.
The selection is COMMANDER OF LIFE who looked unlucky not to go even closer when fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton a week ago.
(9) Starliner 8/1, Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (8f, good) 31 days ago, left poorly placed. Not found his best form for this yard; down in the weights but others look stronger.
2
8
2nd (8) (6/5 +40%) Project Geofin
1.2
6/5(+40%)
(8) Project Geofin 6/5, Well-backed 11/4, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. Remains unexposed and can make it 3-3 here. 2-2 on AW, the latter win over C&D four weeks ago; still has time to do better.
3
7
3rd (7) (28/1 -180%) Bobby Joe Leg
28
28/1(-180%)
(7) Bobby Joe Leg 28/1, 7-time C&D winner. 18/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 6 months ago. Might need this. Thrived early in the year but resumes on a tough mark and may come on for this.
4
2
4th (2) (9/1 +10%) Swiss Ace
9
9/1(+10%)
(2) Swiss Ace 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. 33/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 153 days ago. Conditions to suit but he'll need to be cherry ripe returning from five months off.
5th
3
5th (3) (9/2 -64%) Follow Your Heart
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(3) Follow Your Heart 9/2, Won 10-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 18 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb and can go well again. First run at Newcastle. Exploited good AW mark at Kempton last month (7f); still feasibly treated; contender.
6th
1
6th (1) (12/1 -100%) Danielsflyer
12
12/1(-100%)
(1) Danielsflyer 12/1, Won 4 in a row here earlier this year. 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Could do better back at this track and one to consider. Four wins here early in the year; latest run excusable; one to take seriously.
7th
5
7th (5) (17/2 +23%) Mighty Power
8.5
17/2(+23%)
(5) Mighty Power 17/2, Course winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 11/1) 22 days ago, slowly away. On a good mark now returned to preferred surface; positive jockey booking; leading claims.
8th
4
8th (4) (100/1 -52%) Dream Show
100
100/1(-52%)
(4) Dream Show 100/1, Very lightly raced in recent years and doesn't appear to retain much ability, seventeenth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft, 100/1) 21 days ago. Shown nothing for current yard and easy to have reservations at present.
9th
6
9th (6) (12/1 +40%) Remarkable Force
12
12/1(+40%)
(6) Remarkable Force 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Off 160 days. First run after leaving John & Sean Quinn. Well handicapped if staging a revival for another new stable. Won his first two but beaten 17 times since; plenty to prove on stable debut after a break.
17:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PROJECT GEOFIN's two previous visits to Gosforth Park have yielded two victories, and he looks well capable of going in again here. Geoff Oldroyd's charge did it well when scoring over this track and trip last time, making eye-catching headway before finding plenty when asked, and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise underestimates him. A 2lb rise for a recent Kempton victory doesn't discount Follow Your Heart, while this represents an ease in grade for Swiss Ace and he completes the shortlist.
PROJECT GEOFIN resumed winning ways with his best effort to date when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago and can make it 3-3 here. Danielsflyer and Follow Your Heart are feared.
Follow Your Heart remains feasibly weighted but the return to AW can see MIGHTY POWER bounce back to his best.
(4) Beattie Is Back 18/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, 6/1) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Claims if he's back to the form he showed last time. Record over 7f on Tapeta reads 31612 including a win here; interesting.
2
1
2nd (1) (14/1 +22%) Judgment Call
14
14/1(+22%)
(1) Judgment Call 14/1, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Refused to race in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm, 16/1) 41 days ago. Hard to make a case for on the back of that. Unexposed on the AW, but refused to race at Ayr last time so has something to prove.

(3) Modern Times 8/1, 16/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 41 days ago, hampered. Others make more appeal. 0-8 and last two efforts not amongst his best; has been gelded.

33
33/1(+0%)
(7) Angel Of England 33/1, First run since leaving Edward Bethell when eighth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 33/1) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do. Well held on stable debut; half-brother to a Listed AW winner, but needs to step up.

5th (5) (4/1 -45%) Cancan In The Rain
4
4/1(-45%)
(5) Cancan In The Rain 4/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 3/1) 8 days ago. Holding form well of late and should be on the premises again. 3lb below his last winning mark and running well in defeat lately; should go well again.
6th

6th (9) (7/1 -40%) Patontheback
7
7/1(-40%)
(9) Patontheback 7/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 31 days ago. Lingering on a feasible mark and can't be ruled out in a race that lacks depth. C&D winner who has finished third back here the last twice; each-way claims again.
7th

7th (8) (4/1 +0%) Alreet Cha
4
4/1(+0%)
(8) Alreet Cha 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner novice (10/11) at this C&D 31 days ago, driven clear. Has to be taken seriously. Easily off the mark at the 13th attempt over C&D a month ago; may still have more to offer.
8th

8th (6) (16/1 -78%) Streak Lightning
16
16/1(-78%)
(6) Streak Lightning 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not discounted. Triple C&D winner but wasn't helped by a slow break last time; capable on his day.
9th

9th (2) (9/4 +68%) Bajan Bandit
2.25
9/4(+68%)
(2) Bajan Bandit 9/4, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft, 22/1) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. On a handy mark but needs to bounce back quickly. Patchy form on turf this year; needs to get back on track now switched to the AW.
18:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
STREAK LIGHTNING impressed when scoring cosily over this track and trip on his penultimate start and, with excuses for his recent low-key display over C&D, he gets the vote to return to winning ways here. Cancan In The Rain has been knocking on the door of late and, on the back of a solid third over this trip at Southwell last time out, he can emerge as the main danger to the selection off an unchanged mark. This ease in grade should see Bajan Bandit in a better light and he merits consideration.
ALREET CHA reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when landing a C&D novice last time and the handicapper has given her a chance by not altering the mark too much, so she gets the nod over in-form pair Cancan In The Rain and Patontheback.
The vote goes to BEATTIE IS BACK whose record over 7f on Tapeta reads 31612.
(12) Just Typical 9/4, 10/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 0-11 but second on Tapeta the last twice; claims if drop in trip doesn't count against him.

2nd (1) (11/2 -10%) Gunnerside
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Gunnerside 11/2, C&D winner. 7/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 3 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 1-1 over C&D but he is mainly seen over shorter; interesting back over this trip.

3rd (2) (4/1 +67%) End Zone

4/1(+67%)
(2) End Zone 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 4 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Blinkers back on. 11lb below his last winning mark but patchy form this year; not sure what to expect.

4th (6) (12/1 -140%) Believe Me Now
12
12/1(-140%)
(6) Believe Me Now 12/1, Winner at Ayr in August. 7/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Expected to be bang there. Back off sole winning mark; chance if taking to the AW at the first time of asking.
5th

5th (5) (16/1 -113%) Ballyare
16
16/1(-113%)
(5) Ballyare 16/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Better than result when seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, 7/1) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Merits consideration from sliding mark. Dual 5f winner, but didn't get home in only previous attempt over this far.
6th

6th (4) (5/1 -25%) Concert Boy
5
5/1(-25%)
(4) Concert Boy 5/1, C&D winner. One win from 32 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, shaped as if still in form when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Threatening to come good when things drop right. 1-32 but has been placed in his last two starts over C&D; each-way claims again.
7th

7th (8) (33/1 -32%) Tathmeen
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Tathmeen 33/1, 8-time course winner. 28/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 10 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for. 13 Tapeta wins including eight here, but unplaced in all 11 attempts over this far.
8th

8th (11) (9/1 +18%) Clotherholme

9/1(+18%)
(11) Clotherholme 9/1, 12/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Not dismissed. Placed in all three starts over C&D this time last year; slightly lower in the weights now.
9th

9th (9) (14/1 +13%) Asmund
14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Asmund 14/1, Course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 10/1) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal. 7lb lower than when a close fourth of 12 at Southwell in March; worth a second look.
10th

10th (7) (14/1 -17%) Alice's Impact
14
14/1(-17%)
(7) Alice's Impact 14/1, Winner at Beverley in July. 11/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 38 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk her up. Well beaten on AW debut over C&D last month; blinkers on.
18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This may prove to be a good opportunity for JUST TYPICAL to land a breakthrough victory. Ian Williams' charge was touched off late on when finishing a half-length second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton recently and, eased in trip off an unchanged mark now sporting cheekpieces for the first time, he looks well capable of going one place better. Gunnerside wasn't disgraced when a staying-on fifth over 6f here on Tuesday and, stepping up in trip off the same mark, he can make his presence felt. Concert Boy fared best of those held up off the pace when third over C&D latest and he completes the shortlist off a 1lb lower mark.
CONCERT BOY is well handicapped and has been shaping up well, again travelling well in rear when third over C&D last time, so he can make his presence felt if the race is run to suit. Believe Me Now and Just Typical are obvious dangers.
The vote goes to the top-weight GUNNERSIDE who is usually seen over shorter trips but is 1-1 over this C&D.
