(10) Sir Maxi 17/2, Latest win at Pontefract in October. 12/1, ran poorly when seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Can bounce back. Won at Pontefract last month; stuck in mud at Doncaster since; acts on Tapeta.

28/1(+30%)
(8) Magical Max 28/1, Latest win at Newmarket in June. 33/1, ran poorly back on all-weather when last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. Only 2lb higher than when winning on turf in June but last of 13 back on AW latest.

10
10/1(+38%)
(3) Troon 10/1, Made a winning debut at Kempton in October 2022 (sole starts at 2 yrs) but was too free and again below his that form when sixth of 9 in minor event (20/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) in July. Gelded since and makes handicap debut for a new yard. Won on AW debut; well held on turf since but worth betting check back on AW for new yard.

25/1(-25%)
(7) Cold Stare 25/1, Latest win at Ayr in September. Never on terms when eleventh of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Won at Ayr in September but held since and this only second AW start of his long career.

7
7/1(+56%)
(11) Ayr Poet 7/1, 14/1, ran well when third of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 8 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Deserves credit for consistency so should go well again. Most consistent this year but all 50 career starts at 1m+ so 7f asks a different question.

9/1(+36%)
(2) Oso Rapido 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Catterick in October. 14/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Not at best at Doncaster latest but had been in form prior to that; former course winner.

16/1(-14%)
(5) Kalganov 16/1, Won at Redcar in September and Ayr in October. 7/2, run of good form halted when tenth of 13 in handicap at York (7f, heavy) 29 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara (10,000 gns). Not taken lightly. Won twice for David O'Meara this autumn but disappointed on hat-trick bid; sold since.

7.5
15/2(+25%)
(1) Liamarty Dreams 15/2, Made all at Musselburgh in June and has remained in good form since, third at Haydock (8f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago. Should continue in good heart. Remained in form since 7f Musselburgh win in June; former C&D winner.
9th

9th (12) (18/1 -140%) Honour Your Dreams
18
18/1(-140%)
(12) Honour Your Dreams 18/1, Bounced back to form when second of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 10/1) 8 days ago, travelling best. Significantly back up in trip. One to be interested in. Back-to-form second over 5f here last week; has form at 7f but peak efforts at shorter.
10th

10th (6) (4/1 -14%) Bicep
4
4/1(-14%)
(6) Bicep 4/1, C&D winner in October. 7/2, went like the best horse at the weights but was stretched by the longer trip when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back at 7f. C&D win last month; travelled well long way over 1m here; big player back at 7f.
11th

11th (4) (13/2 +0%) Gobi Sunset
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(4) Gobi Sunset 13/2, Caused a surprise on first outing since leaving Charlie Johnston after 13 weeks off when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (25/1) 40 days ago, keeping on well. Not an obvious type to follow up, however. Snapped losing run when making all over C&D for new yard last month; respected up 5lb.
12th

12th (9) (13/2 -30%) Shandy Star
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(9) Shandy Star 13/2, Got back on track after a spell in the doldrums when second of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 22/1) 7 days ago, sticking to task. Makes all-weather debut. Best run this year when second of 17 on turf last weekend; claims if as effective on AW.

11:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Honour Your Dreams ran with plenty of credit when runner-up over 5f here earlier in the month and he is a strong contender, as he takes a notable step up in distance. However, GOBI SUNSET looks the way to go after his victory off 5lb lower over C&D last month. The son of Oasis Dream was making his first start for the Iain Jardine stable on that occasion and he could show a new lease of life now that he has switched yards. Liamarty Dreams takes a drop in grade and has to be considered in this sort of company.
A tricky opener to solve but preference is for BICEP, who travelled like a dream before finding his stamina running dry over 1m here last week so, now dropping back in trip, Grant Tuer's 4-y-o can resume winning ways at the expense of Kalganov, who has his first start for Michael Dods and can shrug off a lesser effort at York last month. Honour Your Dreams and the consistent Ayr Poet can battle out minor honours.
Grant Tuer's BICEP travelled like one still ahead of his mark over 1m here last week and can prove the point back 7f.
(2) Diligent Resdev 33/1, Foaled January 14. 5,500 gns foal, Due Diligence gelding. Dam unraced, out of useful 8.5f winner Absolute Crackers. 5,500gns foal; by Due Diligence; others preferred.

2nd (3) (2/1 +0%) Eulace Peacock

2/1(+0%)
(3) Eulace Peacock 2/1, Fair maiden. Creditable third of 12 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Sets a clear standard. Placed twice over 7f; shapes as if this return to 6f will suit; sets the form standard.

Ninth of 10 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft, 10/1) on debut 8 days ago. Shaped better than bare result at Newmarket last week; bred to take well to AW.

18/1(-140%)
(9) Noisy Music 18/1, Foaled March 24. Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1½m New Show and 2-y-o 8.6f winner Fightwithme. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5.7f-7f winner). Showcasing half-sister to three winners; dam a Group 1 scorer; heed the market signals.

28/1(-40%)
(8) Walter Mitty 28/1, Foaled February 2. €24,000 yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. 24,000euros yearling; by Soldier's Call out of 7f 2yo winner; market helpful.

125/1(-25%)
(6) Old Bailey 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 12 in novice event (250/1) at this course (7.1f) 12 days ago. Holds poor claims on his 7f efforts.

LTO Selection:
12:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Eulace Peacock sets the standard with an official rating of 77 and was far from disgraced in third at Newmarket last month, so he is likely to be a player. However, he may have to give best to the 360,000-euro purchase ALTMORE, who is a well-bred son of Showcasing and related to plenty of winners. He is aided by the cracking form of the William Haggas yard at present and the stable won both divisions of this race in 2021. Any market support for Noisy Music on her first start would also be of interest.
EULACE PEACOCK isn't progressing but he sets a decent standard and his experience should count for plenty. Altmore and Sherman Tank are a couple of newcomers who proved popular at the sales so both are potential threats.
Eulace Peacock brings the best form but he's taken on with interesting alternative JACKSON STREET.
12:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Beyond Borders 11/4, 3 wins from 6 runs this year, latest in 8-runner nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 44 days ago, sticking to task. Fancied to be bang there back on the all-weather. Bids for a hat-trick, having won 6f nurseries the last twice; open to further progress.

2nd (7) (20/1 -186%) Bazball
20
20/1(-186%)
(7) Bazball 20/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year, latest at Chester in September. 10/3, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 5 weeks ago, failing to keep straight under pressure. Generally progressive in 5f handicaps; bit to prove back over 6f.
3
6
3rd (6) (16/1 -29%) Callianassa
16
16/1(-29%)
(6) Callianassa 16/1, Might have needed the run after 3 months off when fifth of 8 in nursery at this course (5f, 20/1) 12 days ago. Clear best effort came on sole attempt over 6f; interesting returned to this distance.

4th (2) (9/1 -22%) Blue Prince
9
9/1(-22%)
(2) Blue Prince 9/1, Winner at York in July. Failed to improve for the step up in trip when sixth of 9 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 11/2) 4 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey (52,000 gns). Peak RPR for Richard Fahey when impressive at York in July; debut for new stable.
5th

5th (5) (9/2 +68%) Sergeant Wilko
4.5
9/2(+68%)
(5) Sergeant Wilko 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Back on track when fourth of 6 in nursery (20/1) at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Latest effort suggests he'll be vulnerable at the finish kept to 6f.
6th
1
6th (1) (15/2 -88%) Master Of My Fate
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(1) Master Of My Fate 15/2, Winner at Pontefract on debut. Ran to a similar level when second of 9 in minor event (10/3) at Lingfield (5f, AW) a couple of months ago. Makes handicap debut. Strong promise in 5f novice events; should be at least as effective over 6f; respected.
7th
10
7th (10) (10/3 +45%) Bulmer Bank
3.333333
10/3(+45%)
(10) Bulmer Bank 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 6 on nursery debut at York (7f, soft, 7/2) 7 weeks ago, not ideally placed. Makes all-weather debut. Expected to be bang there down in grade. Bred to be suited by this scenario, being closely related to a C&D scorer.
8th

8th (8) (40/1 -60%) Alfa Whiteburd
40
40/1(-60%)
(8) Alfa Whiteburd 40/1, 4/1, fifth of 6 in nursery at Ripon (6f, good to soft), doing too much too soon. Off 3 months. Makes all-weather debut and has been gelded since last seen. Failed to get home over 6f on soft ground when last seen; gelded since.
9th

9th (9) (11/1 +31%) Novello Lad
11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Novello Lad 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, failed to improve on first outing since leaving Ronald Thompson when fifth of 8 in nursery at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago. Back sprinting and worth a second look in the market. Weakened over 7f here last week (stable debut); return to 6f is worth exploring.
10th
4
10th (4) (17/2 -42%) Good Point
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(4) Good Point 17/2, Fourth of 6 in nursery at Nottingham (5f, soft, 2/1) 24 days ago, rallying final 1f. Step up in trip looks sure to suit so he's worth a second look making all-weather debut. Holds every chance if he shows any improvement for this new scenario.
LTO Selection:
12:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Beyond Borders justified favouritism when completing a double at Pontefract last time and holds an obvious chance off a 5lb higher mark on his return to the all-weather. However, the less-exposed MASTER OF MY FATE gets the vote, as he was only denied by a neck at Lingfield in his attempt to follow up his debut victory at Pontefract. The son of Footstepsinthesand now makes his nursery debut off a mark of 83, which could prove lenient with further progress expected. Good Point has recorded some solid efforts recently and can fight it out for the minor honours.
Cases can be made for several but at forecast longer odds it could pay to side with BULMER BANK, who wasn't seen to best effect in a falsely-run race when fourth on nursery debut at York 7 weeks ago and, dropping in grade, he should have more to offer making his all-weather debut. Beyond Borders arrives in top form so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Good Point and Master of My Fate.
There should be more to come from twice-raced colt MASTER OF MY FATE, who gets the vote ahead of Callianassa.
(3) Mukaddamah 6/1, Useful filly. Below par on slow ground at Newmarket latest but posted good second in Yarmouth listed race (10.1f) previously and warrants respect. Tapeta winner; second in 1m2f Listed races on turf this year; soft ground excuse latest.

2nd (6) (10/3 +5%) Sound Angela
3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(6) Sound Angela 10/3, Useful filly. Course winner. Creditable ¾-length third of 11 to Manisha in listed race (32/10) at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, good to soft) 43 days ago, left with too much to do. Shortlist material. Bolted up in course handicap last year; placed in Listed races in France this year; player.

(11) Ermesinde 20/1, Fairly useful filly. Good 7 lengths third of 14 to Tasmania in listed race (43/1) at Compiegne (9.9f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Uphill task. Third in 1m2f French Listed latest but beaten 7l and needs improvement on this AW debut.

8/1(+11%)
(2) Makinmedoit 8/1, Useful filly. 28/1, 9 lengths tenth of 14 to Sapphire Seas in listed race at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Has good record on AW and must enter calculations. Not at best last twice but third in turf Listed in July and goes well on AW; claims.

5th (12) (50/1 -25%) Lakota Sioux
50
50/1(-25%)
(12) Lakota Sioux 50/1, Fairly useful filly. Back from 12 months off when 14½ lengths sixth of 7 to Royal Rhyme in listed race (50/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 49 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Group 3 winner at 2 but lost form at end of that season and well held on belated return.

12/1(+64%)
(10) Elegancia 12/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 33/1, well-beaten tenth of 11 to Time Lock in Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 43 days ago, very slowly away.

(8) Zarabanda 25/1, Useful filly. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 40 days ago, forging clear. Back up in trip. More on plate here. Thrived in handicaps lately; more needed here but further progress can't be discounted.

8th (7) (16/1 -45%) Vera Verto
16
16/1(-45%)
(7) Vera Verto 16/1, Useful mare. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 7/1, creditable 7 lengths second of 8 to One Evening in listed race at Bath (14f, heavy) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. In good form on turf lately but unproven on AW and this trip on short side.

(4) Persist 20/1, Useful filly. 18 lengths ninth of 11 to Novus in Pride Stakes (20/1) at Newmarket (10f, soft) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Claims on best form. Competitive at this level but cheekpieces need to give her more to come out on top.
10th
14
10th (14) (2/1 +27%) Veil Of Shadows
2
2/1(+27%)
(14) Veil Of Shadows 2/1, Useful filly who found further improvement when 2 lengths second of 11 to Novus in Pride Stakes at Newmarket (10f, soft) 29 days ago. Proven on AW and holds strong claims. AW winner; improved second (Rousay third) in 1m2f Newmarket Listed latest; big player.

33
33/1(-136%)
(1) Giladah 33/1, Useful filly. 5/1, 2¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Salt Lake City in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good) 79 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Work to do on tapeta debut. Third at Killarney in July shows she can figure at Listed level; below par twice since.

40
40/1(-264%)
(13) There's The Door 40/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in August. 10/1, 5¼ lengths fifth of 8 to My Prospero in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 45 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more appealing. Won 1m2f Glorious Goodwood handicap but only fifth in Listed there latest; AW debut.

LTO Selection:
13:30 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
It looks best to side with the Charlie Appleby-trained VEIL OF SHADOWS, who fared best of the Godolphin pair last time, finishing a good second in the Pride Stakes at Newmarket. The unexposed daughter of Frankel should have more in the locker and she can go one better now down in class. Sound Angela is 3-4 on all-weather and won well on her only previous visit to this track, while stable companion Mukaddamah is noted too.
VEIL OF SHADOWS got back on the up when second at Newmarket last month and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Sound Angela and Mukaddamah head the list of dangers.
If VEIL OF SHADOWS can back up her improved second in a Group 3 at Newmarket last time she might prove the answer to this Listed race.
(10) Sophia's Starlight 15/2, Useful filly. 5 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in August. 11/2, creditable head second of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Wide draw not ideal but she's hard to fully discount. Hardy front-runner; five wins at 7f and 6f this year; close 2nd in Listed fillies' latest.

1st (5) (8/1 +20%) Tacarib Bay
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Tacarib Bay 8/1, Useful gelding. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago, slowly away. May strip fitter for that run but others are preferred dropping to 6f for first time since his debut. Last won in July 2022; very useful at 1m and 7f in 2023 but below best on last two starts.

9
2nd (9) (4/5 +54%) Sense Of Duty
0.8
4/5(+54%)
(9) Sense Of Duty 4/5, Smart filly. Impressive when winning Chipchase Stakes over C&D last season. Not at same level in pair of starts this year, though probably found ground against her when 10 lengths tenth of 15 to Art Power in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, soft) 21 days ago. May bounce back. Unbeaten 3yo, impressive C&D Group 3 winner; below best on heavy/soft after absence.

7/1(-8%)
(2) Albasheer 7/1, Smart gelding. Latest win at York in August. Shaped much better than result when fifth of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 15/2) 28 days ago, effort only petering out late on testing ground. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. Excellent 6f handicap form in August/September; AW debut; dam/relatives won on Polytrack.

(8) Secret Angel 11/1, Useful filly. 9/1, 6¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Tough and likeable sort but probably needs to step forward to figure here. Listed French 6f winner as 2yo; just fair Polytrack form on sole AW start; Tapeta debut.

33/1(-50%)
(7) Glorious Angel 33/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. 6/1, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Aberama Gold in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 14 days ago. More needed on these terms. Three Tapeta wins in January, at 5f-7f; retains her form but tough task at the weights.

(6) Embrace 10/1, Useful filly. 8/1, 4¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Profile over further is much more convincing, so others are preferred. Never involved on drop to 6f latest but quite speedy and 1-1 on Tapeta elsewhere (7f).

10/1(-43%)
(3) Brad The Brief 10/1, Useful gelding. Seven wins from 19 Flat runs. Good 1¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Exxtra in Prix de Seine-et-Oise at Chantilly (6f, heavy, 14/1) 15 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently and has to be respected. Four AW runs, winning over 6f as 2yo; fair 2022 reappearance in Group 3 over C&D.
LTO Selection:
14:05 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
SENSE OF DUTY wasn't able to land a blow in the Champions' Sprint at Ascot, but last June's Chipchase success over this C&D lives fresh in the memory and it would be no surprise to see William Haggas' filly post an improved performance back on the Tapeta. Brad The Brief makes plenty of appeal, but he might struggle to concede 5lb to the selection, while Albasheer also makes some appeal.
ALBASHEER has built a fine record in top-level handicaps since joining Archie Watson and is fancied to make a successful transition to listed company. Sense of Duty hasn't really been given the opportunity to show what she is capable of in a limited campaign this season, but was so impressive when winning the Chipchase here last season that she can't be ruled out, whilst Stewards' Cup winner Aberama Gold is also a player.
It's likely to be game over if SENSE OF DUTY is the same filly who won a C&D Group 3 last June. Testing ground may have been against her
(8) Grace Taufan 28/1, Foaled April 4. 90,000 gns yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Dam 6f-7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Mixed bag on pedigree, so looks best watched on debut. 90,000gns yearling; Ten Sovereigns half-sister to four winners; check the betting.

(1) Global Asset 11/2, Night of Thunder colt. 20/1, shaped as if needing experience when twelfth of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 8 days ago. Represents top yard but needs to take major step forward. Down the field at Newmarket but may do much better with that outing under his belt.

28/1(-133%)
(4) Noble Consort 28/1, Foaled April 21. Too Darn Hot gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Good Queen Bess and 12.4f winner Seeola. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Golden Horn. Good type on paper for the yard and he's worth a market check. Too Darn Hot half-brother to two winners; check the betting.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Zoumoon sets the form standard, having posted back-to-back second, and although she's respected, a chance can be taken on LION'S HOUSE. The son of Oasis Dream is related to a couple of useful types, who were both successful on the all-weather. Roger Varian has a healthy strike-rate with his juveniles on artificial surfaces and a high draw is a further positive. Harry Did is also noted following an encouraging Kempton debut.
An interesting maiden. HARRY DID seemed to get the hang of things late on debut and is fancied to build upon the positive impression he created there. Zoumoon is also highly respected but may find one too good for the third consecutive outing, with Roger Varian's newcomer Lion's House and Karl Burke's once-raced Wait And Hope others for the shortlist.
The shortlist is headed by the similar types HARRY DID and Wait And Hope in that order of preference. Zoumoon is third choice.
14:40 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(7) Brewing 10/3, Won all 3 starts in 2022 and ran well again when fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/3). Remains unexposed and is very interestig dropping back in trip after 7-month absence. Won his first 3 (2 here over 7f) before a non-staying 4th over 1m in April; more to come.

3.333333
10/3(+49%)
(2) Bielsa 10/3, Latest win at York in May. 22/1, shaped as if still in form when seventh of 22 in handicap there (6f, soft) 28 days ago, nearest finish. Drawn higher than ideal but not fully discounted. This less competitive than he's accustomed to and capable of a big run off his easing mark.

3rd (4) (5/1 -25%) Gisburn

5/1(-25%)
(4) Gisburn 5/1, Latest win at Goodwood in October. Good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 17/2) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Makes tapeta debut. Expected to be bang there. Returned from a gelding operation with two fine runs, more recently on AW debut; contender.

9/1(-50%)
(1) Gweedore 9/1, Three wins from 14 runs this year. Respectable third of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 22/1) 28 days ago, first home in group. Likeable sort can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Two 6f runs have seen him finish 3rd in the Ayr Gold Cup and run a stormer at York latest.

(5) Zip 6/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (6/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 14 days ago, always holding on. This looks tougher from 3 lb higher mark but shouldn't be dismissed. Tanked through the Doncaster mud to win two weeks ago (7f); course winner; 6f the query.

22/1(+0%)
(6) Magical Spirit 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in April. Last of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. Not easy to make a case for on recent efforts. C&D winner; something to prove after two heavy defeats but he's on a dangerous mark.

14/1(+13%)
(8) Gulliver 14/1, Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in September but not quite been in same form either start since, albeit poorly drawn on both occasions. Return to all-weather may help him bounce back. Easy win at Southwell on most recent AW start (6f); less good on turf since; not dismissed.

8th (3) (12/1 +25%) Roman Dragon

12/1(+25%)
(3) Roman Dragon 12/1, Latest win at Chester in September. Probably unsuited by drop in trip when fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) there (5.1f, heavy) 42 days ago. Frame claims. All wins at Chester; excuse last time but looks too high in the weights away from Chester.

(9) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in August. 10/3, creditable head second of 11 to Gisburn in handicap at Goodwood (6f, soft) 27 days ago. Enters calculations. Progressing this year and closely matched with Gisburn on latest run; promise on Tapeta.
10th

10th (10) (33/1 -65%) Call Me Ginger
33
33/1(-65%)
(10) Call Me Ginger 33/1, Won at Chester and Ascot in September but has been well below his best on his last 2 outings. Others are more persuasive. Two sprint wins in September; has shown promise here but others more persuasive today.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A commendable third in last year's Chipchase Stakes on his only previous run on the all-weather, BIELSA is an attractive proposition off 2lb lower than his most recent outing in a valuable York handicap. The Kevin Ryan-trained gelding has also fared well with the draw and could have things set up nicely for him to fly at the finish, if his old rival Gweedore runs his usual race from the front. Gisburn and Monsieur Kodi are another closely-matched pair fancied to be on the premises.
GISBURN has fewer miles on the clock this season than most of his rivals and has been proving as good as ever this autumn, so he looks the one to beat ahead of Monsieur Kodi, who finished only a head behind the selection when they met at Goodwood last month. Brewing rates as an interesting runner dropping back to 6f for only his fifth career start and could well prove capable of better.
Brewing is an unexposed lurker now back to 6f but GWEEDORE ran a mighty race in defeat at York last time and can gain compensation.
(12) Onesmoothoperator 15/2, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Has plenty of form here, so this race's move away from Doncaster looks a plus for him.
2
14
2nd (14) (14/1 +13%) Struth
14
14/1(+13%)
(14) Struth 14/1, Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 16/1) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Makes tapeta debut and others are more persuasive on this occasion. More exposed than the other 3yos in this field; first attempt on AW.
3
9
3rd (9) (12/1 -20%) Beraz
12
12/1(-20%)
(9) Beraz 12/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, good, 12/1) 32 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and stepping back up in trip no bad thing, so he could have a part to play if taking to this surface. Generally progressive on turf for current yard; likely player if taking well to AW.
4
8
4th (8) (100/1 -150%) Pleasant Man
100
100/1(-150%)
(8) Pleasant Man 100/1, Below form third of 9 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) 23 days ago. Significantly down in trip on debut for new yard. Readily passed over. May struggle in this major contest on debut for new stable.
5th
1
5th (1) (4/1 +38%) Teumessias Fox
4
4/1(+38%)
(1) Teumessias Fox 4/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 86 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and he's high on the shortlist. Fresh when he scored twice in spring; interesting on return from layoff; 2-4 on AW.
6th
5
6th (5) (3/1 +14%) Local Dynasty
3
3/1(+14%)
(5) Local Dynasty 3/1, 3/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) when last seen in July. Gelded since and moves up in trip on this tapeta debut. Needs considering. Godolphin runner who has progressive RPRs; gelded since last run; commands respect.
7th

7th (2) (18/1 -100%) Mr Alan
18
18/1(-100%)
(2) Mr Alan 18/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October. 9/2, very good second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, soft) 8 days ago. Will be a big player if able to continue the good work back on the AW. In top form but could have done with this race staying at Doncaster; revels in the mud.
8th
6
8th (6) (14/1 +13%) Prydwen
14
14/1(+13%)
(6) Prydwen 14/1, 15/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good) on latest start in August. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. 3-7 on AW but needs a career-best performance off this mark; headgear enlisted.
9th
3
9th (3) (6/1 +14%) Chillingham
6
6/1(+14%)
(3) Chillingham 6/1, 7/2, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Now tried in a tongue strap and he's one to consider. Has a solid record; won when fresh in the spring; possibilities on return from break.
10th
13
10th (13) (18/1 -29%) Mustazeed
18
18/1(-29%)
(13) Mustazeed 18/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Newbury in May. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 14 days ago, missing break. Shapes as though this trip will be within his range and should go well. Has the ability to get involved, provided he stays this new trip and handles the surface.
11th
4
11th (4) (33/1 -18%) Euchen Glen
33
33/1(-18%)
(4) Euchen Glen 33/1, Twenty-seven runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and this 10-y-o, admirable though he is, looks vulnerable. On a long losing sequence; unlikely to regain the winning thread in this major race.
12th
7
12th (7) (7/1 +7%) Laafi
7
7/1(+7%)
(7) Laafi 7/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, soft, 20/1) 8 days ago, readily. Back up in trip and more will be needed up 6 lb now switched to tapeta. Won on heavy ground last week; not fully exposed but this surface may not be ideal.
13th
11
13th (11) (40/1 -150%) Furzig
40
40/1(-150%)
(11) Furzig 40/1, Course winner. 11/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft) 28 days ago. 11 lb higher back on the AW and minor place money is probably the best his connections can hope for. Multiple winner but it's a long time since he scored on AW; others preferred.
LTO Selection:
15:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
LOCAL DYNASTY started off 2023 with a commendable third-placed finish in the Dee Stakes at Chester and, having held his own at this level twice since, he appeals strongly returning to action at this stage of the campaign. Gelded during his break, the son of Dubawi still has bags of scope or improvement and a good performance here can open the door to further all-weather opportunities. Chillingham is another open to further progression, while Euchen Glenn is admirably tough and may represents some value for a place in the fame.
A typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap, tradtionally staged at Doncaster. MR ALAN has raised his game under testing conditions on turf of late and, if able to perform to a similar level back on the all-weather, he could be the answer. Teumessias Fox is 2-4 on synthetics and is capable of a bold show back from a break, while Chillingham, Godolphin's Local Dynasty and Mustazeed are others to consider.
Judged on his spring wins, coming here fresh looks a big plus for TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap). Second choice is Chillingham.

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.
