10/3(-67%)
(1) Countess Candy 10/3, C&D winner. Third of 5 in novice (9/2) at this course (8f) 38 days ago. Back up in trip. Starts out in handicaps in a weak contest. Form figures of 313 reflect a solid start to her career, the win over C&D; respected.

4th (6) (9/1 +10%) Volcanology
9
9/1(+10%)
(6) Volcanology 9/1, 33/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to prove. Inconsistent since maiden win last autumn; best form gives her a fighting chance.
5th

5th (4) (11/2 -83%) Run For The Sun
5.5
11/2(-83%)
(4) Run For The Sun 11/2, Below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy, 14/1) 14 days ago. Down another 3 lb and this longer trip will suit. Could figure. Seven-race maiden whose 2024 efforts suggest this new trip is worth exploring; interesting.
6th

6th (5) (22/1 -120%) Redondo
22
22/1(-120%)
(5) Redondo 22/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. 50/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Won at this course in February but has a question mark over current form.
7th

7th (3) (25/1 -233%) Rainproof
25
25/1(-233%)
(3) Rainproof 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving James Fanshawe when sixth of 14 in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft) on return 61 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could do better. Perhaps needed her belated reappearance in September; makes AW/handicap debut.
15:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
COUNTESS CANDY showed significant improvement from her first start when she romped home by the best part of eight lengths over this C&D in a novice stakes in September. It is safe to put a line through her most recent start, as dropping back to a mile didn't suit the daughter of Toronado, and, now back over 1m2f, she is well worth another chance off a potentially lenient mark of 70 on her handicap debut. Run For The Sun and Sambucus are the pick of the remainder.
A modest handicap with RUN FOR THE SUN chanced. She has good claims on the pick of her efforts having been dropped another 3 lb and this step up in trip should suit. Countess Candy and Rainproof may also be in the mix.
Solid-looking handicap debutante COUNTESS CANDY is taken to defy top weight. Run For The Sun is feared most.
(1) Force And Valour 6/4, Winner at Thirsk in August. 10/11, good second of 10 in nursery at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago, finishing well after being forced to switch last ½ and unlucky. Strong claims back in a novice. Nearly justified favouritism in Southwell nursery dropped to 5f last time; major player.

2nd (4) (50/1 -150%) Dc Cogent
50
50/1(-150%)
(4) Dc Cogent 50/1, Foaled January 30. Washington DC gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Circus Lion. Dam unraced half-sister to Prix Robert Papin winner Tis Marvellous. Washington DC half-brother to a 5f winner; one of two newcomers in the field.

6
3rd (6) (9/1 +55%) Star Chorus
9
9/1(+55%)
(6) Star Chorus 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in novice at Southwell (5f, 22/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Looks one for handicaps. Only a modest third at Southwell last time but could well take another step forward.
4
8
4th (8) (8/11 +9%) Queenofdestruction
0.727273
8/11(+9%)
(8) Queenofdestruction 8/11, €42,000 foal, €10,000 yearling, £100,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man filly. Dam 1m winner out of useful 6f/7f winner Girouette. 9/1, second of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 28 days ago, edged out post. That was a very promising start and she could be hard to beat with improvement likely. Went very close at Wolverhampton four weeks ago for a promising debut; leading claims.
5th
7
5th (7) (50/1 -100%) Fair Call
50
50/1(-100%)
(7) Fair Call 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Slowly away in both runs but showed promise on first occasion; may improve.
6th
9
6th (9) (25/1 +0%) Tiva
25
25/1(+0%)
(9) Tiva 25/1, €100,000 Mehmas filly. Dam, sprint maiden, closely related to very smart winner up to 7f Tasleet. 16/1, fifth of 9 in novice at Southwell (5f) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Showed signs of ability over 5f at Southwell but shaped as if in need of further.
7th
2
7th (2) (14/1 -75%) Bueno Nacho
14
14/1(-75%)
(2) Bueno Nacho 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when last of 20 in sales race (33/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 81 days ago, possibly amiss. Debut run at Newmarket was promising. Both starts over 6f on turf; debut form (third at Newmarket) gives him place claims.
8th
5
8th (5) (100/1 0%) Nobody's Business
100
100/1(0%)
(5) Nobody's Business 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at this course (6f) 13 days ago. Needs to improve plenty on his 6f efforts.
9th
3
9th (3) (125/1 -279%) Crackinthunder
125
125/1(-279%)
(3) Crackinthunder 125/1, Foaled March 27. 4,000 gns foal, Land Force gelding. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Wears hood. 4,000gns foal; wears hood on debut; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos.
16:25 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Force And Valour is not one to ignore after the Mehmas colt came home second in a Southwell nursery last month when beaten just a head, and a return to novice company can see him get into the mix. Dc Cogent is bred to be a sprinter and is related to plenty of winners over 5f and 6f, but QUEENOFDESTRUCTION is preferred. Second on her only start when beaten a nose at Wolverhampton, normal improvement may be all she needs to go one better today.
QUEENOFDESTRUCTION made a very promising start when just failing at Wolverhampton 4 weeks ago and could be hard to beat with progress imminent. Force And Valour looked unlucky not to win for a second time at Southwell and is the clear danger. Bueno Nacho is probably worth another chance switched to AW.
Wolverhampton runner-up QUEENOFDESTRUCTION can go one better. Force And Valour is second choice.
(3) Laurens Dream 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 9 in nursery at Leicester (7f, heavy, 5/1) 14 days ago, just bumping into one who showed much improved form, and clear of the rest. Good shout now switched to AW. Had Paulie Two Lockers behind when a clear second on heavy ground latest; shortlisted.

2
2nd (2) (7/4 +68%) Clever Jack
1.75
7/4(+68%)
(2) Clever Jack 7/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 4 months/gelded, eighth of 9 in novice (200/1) at Kempton (8f) 28 days ago. More needed now handicapping but it's possible. Beaten a long way in three runs to date at huge prices (6f-1m); would want to see support.
3
6
3rd (6) (11/4 -10%) A Fine Claret
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(6) A Fine Claret 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 10 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 10/3) 7 days ago. Player off basement mark if building on that. Best effort yet, upped to this trip in first-time cheekpieces last Tuesday; leading claims.
4
1
4th (1) (13/2 +7%) Paulie Two Lockers
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(1) Paulie Two Lockers 13/2, Hasn't looked straightforward, fourth of 9 in nursery at Leicester (7f, heavy, 12/1) 14 days ago, hanging right. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Had issues at the stalls and been inclined to hang right; need to improve on his AW debut.
4
5
4th (5) (16/1 -33%) Invincible Love
16
16/1(-33%)
(5) Invincible Love 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in nursery at this course (5f, 10/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not been seeing it out in sprints, including down to 5f here ten days ago; hard to fancy.
6th
4
6th (4) (13/2 -8%) Fastnet Jenkins
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(4) Fastnet Jenkins 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, fifth of 7 in nursery at this course (8f) 10 days ago. Pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here ten days ago; should do better back at 7f.
17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Karl Burke won this in 2022 with Monty Man and the Middleham-based handler bids to repeat the dose today with Southwell second A FINE CLARET. He can go close, assuming the headgear works a second time, and he may prove too strong in the finish for Leicester runner-up Laurens Dream, who makes her all-weather debut. Paulie Two Lockers has shown glimpses of ability and sports first-time cheekpieces as connections search for the improvement needed.
LAURENS DREAM has been shaping up nicely in nurseries over this trip and seems sure to go well if taking to the new surface. A Fine Claret is feared most ahead of Clever Jack.
Having posted two solid efforts in turf nurseries, LAURENS DREAM (nap) can break her duck. A Fine Claret is the obvious danger.
(4) North Star 1/1, €160,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Sweet Gentle Kiss and winner up to 1½m Sunset Key, both useful. 7/2, second of 7 in novice at this C&D on debut 24 days ago, finishing with running left. Should improve and strong claims. Promising debut in C&D contest, beating all bar a rival who ran well in Listed grade since.
2
8
2nd (8) (40/1 -21%) Shwaimah
40
40/1(-21%)
(8) Shwaimah 40/1, Foaled March 21. Siyouni filly. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Jallota. Useful female line bodes well for her future; runs in same colours as her dam.

3rd (2) (33/1 +18%) Like A Vision
33
33/1(+18%)
(2) Like A Vision 33/1, 60,000 gns yearling, €215,000 2-y-o, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Najat. Dam 1½m winner. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good, 12/1) on debut 59 days ago. Came up well short in Doncaster maiden but is open to improvement.

4th (3) (9/2 -80%) Majaz
4.5
9/2(-80%)
(3) Majaz 9/2, Foaled April 30. 450,000 gns yearling, Dubawi filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Hafit and half-sister to 1m winner Bright Idea and 1m winner Ten Dimes. Yard in form with plenty of newcomers showing up well. Highly respected on debut. 450,000gns yearling; by Dubawi; major connections; interesting debutante.
5th

5th (5) (3/1 +25%) Pineal
3
3/1(+25%)
(5) Pineal 3/1, Foaled April 8. Pinatubo filly. Dam, twice-raced, closely related to smart 1m winner Moohaarib and half-sister to smart 1m winner Argentello. 3 of last 6 newcomers from leading yard have won. Newcomer by Pinatubo and from a good family; notable connections; respected.
6th

6th (6) (18/1 +64%) Platinum Crystal
18
18/1(+64%)
(6) Platinum Crystal 18/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 9.5f Lamar and useful winner up to 1m Haddaf. Seventh of 8 in maiden (40/1) at Doncaster (8f, soft) on debut 17 days ago. Beat only one rival at Doncaster but may do better over this shorter trip.
7th
1
7th (1) (15/2 -173%) Searchingtheblues
7.5
15/2(-173%)
(1) Searchingtheblues 15/2, Caused a shock at Kempton first time out, then produced an emphatic display to defy a penalty at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 105 days ago. Looks a talented filly and may well maintain her unbeaten record back from a break. Two from two, both wins over 7f on AW in July; limitations are not yet exposed.
8th
7
8th (7) (150/1 -355%) Rosezan
150
150/1(-355%)
(7) Rosezan 150/1, Foaled February 8. 60,000 gns foal, 38,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful Italian 9f-11f winner Blue Sky Dreamer and 9.5f/1¼m winner Mostaqqer. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m). 38,000gns yearling; by Ardad; one of four newcomers in the field.
9th
10
9th (10) (100/1 -52%) Yellow Dream
100
100/1(-52%)
(10) Yellow Dream 100/1, €40,000 foal, £46,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Rainbow Royal and winner up to 7f Rose Marmara. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Fifth of 7 in novice at this C&D (50/1) on debut 24 days ago. Likely to need more time. Finished just over 6l behind North Star in C&D event.
10th
9
10th (9) (250/1 -150%) Sovereign Applause
250
250/1(-150%)
(9) Sovereign Applause 250/1, 20,000 gns Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Good Heavens and 1¼m winner Puturhandstogether. Last of 7 in novice (22/1) at Redcar (6f, heavy) on debut 14 days ago, very green. Brings the worst piece of form, having trailed home last at Redcar.
17:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Searchingtheblues has done nothing wrong in two starts, winning at Kempton by a neck and Wolverhampton by eight lengths, but she has to give 9lb to all her rivals here which might prove beyond her. North Star has to be considered after her debut C&D second last month when she ran on strongly, but a chance is taken on exciting newcomer MAJAZ. A 450,000gns daughter of Dubawi, she looks the part on paper for a stable firing in the winners recently and is certainly one to consider very closely.
NORTH STAR made a bright start here 3 weeks ago, finishing with running left, and could deliver a first defeat to Searchingtheblues, who hasn't been seen since her second victory at Wolverhampton at the end of July. Expensive yearling Majaz and Pineal are very interesting newcomers representing top Newmarket stables.
Solid-looking NORTH STAR is taken to build on her debut effort and go one better. Majaz is second choice.
(6) Rogue Encore 11/4, 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Needs considering despite a 3 lb rise. Off the mark here latest (first-time cheekpieces) off 3lb lower; fair chance of follow-up.
2
4
2nd (4) (5/1 -25%) The Cookstown Cafu
5
5/1(-25%)
(4) The Cookstown Cafu 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Last of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Lesser turf run latest when soft going wouldn't have posed a problem; has to bounce back.
3
8
3rd (8) (3/1 +63%) Savvy Exchange
3
3/1(+63%)
(8) Savvy Exchange 3/1, Winner at Pontefract in May. Seventh of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 21 days ago. Visor on 1st time now. Mixed bag since handicapping; a lot will hinge on how he responds to first-time headgear.
4
3
4th (3) (12/1 -200%) Titian
12
12/1(-200%)
(3) Titian 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. Off 4 months before a fading fourth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Can take a step forward now and weighted to go very well. Does well in the autumn; returns to Tapeta on a workable mark and is one to consider.
5th
2
5th (2) (12/1 -33%) Mudamer
12
12/1(-33%)
(2) Mudamer 12/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy, 18/1) 59 days ago. Not taken lightly if back on his A-game. Ex-Irish gelding whose three wins all came in the summer months; others are stronger.
6th
9
6th (9) (16/1 -33%) Alreet Cha
16
16/1(-33%)
(9) Alreet Cha 16/1, Course winner in October. 4/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago, merely closing up late. Needs to step forward. No obvious excuse back in a handicap latest; has to improve for stiffest test to date.
7th
5
7th (5) (13/2 +74%) Bellarchi
6.5
13/2(+74%)
(5) Bellarchi 13/2, 50/1, fair seventh of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, soft) 19 days ago. Can give a good account. Currently 1-1 on Tapeta; offered a bit more last time and no shock were she to pop up.
8th
1
8th (1) (12/1 -71%) The African Queen
12
12/1(-71%)
(1) The African Queen 12/1, Latest win at Brighton in April. Last of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 6 months with work to do. Six-month layoff looks a bonus if anything and she's 1-1 on Tapeta; goes on the shotlist.
9th
10
9th (10) (150/1 -275%) Deauville
150
150/1(-275%)
(10) Deauville 150/1, 50/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 13 days ago. Down in trip with more required. No better here latest (1m2f); would be a surprise winner dropping down in distance again.
7
7
|RR| (7) (12/1 +45%) Star Zinc
12
12/1(+45%)
(7) Star Zinc 12/1, Thoroughly unreliable individual. Course winner. Refused to race in handicap at this course (10.2f, 11/1) 39 days ago. Quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached.
18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THE COOKSTOWN CAFU switched to David O'Meara's yard in September and has won twice at this venue subsequently. The five-year-old has been raised 5lb for last month's success, but has scored off higher marks in the past and is likely to prove competitive once again. Rogue Encore opened his account with a recent victory over this course and distance and has scope for further improvement, while Titian will be sharper for last month's comeback at Redcar and has a shout in this lower grade.
TITIAN made an encouraging return from a lay-off when a recent fourth at Redcar and this C&D winner can build on it and capitalise on a lenient mark. Recent C&D scorer Rogue Encore is next on the list with Bellarchi and Mudamer appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
Front-runner THE AFRICAN QUEEN, who's won twice when fresh, could yet be capable of better and she's preferred to Rogue Encore
(2) Brummell 11/2, Latest win at Beverley in May. Had a wind op before a very good second of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) 20 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards. Another solid effort on his first run (turf) since wind surgery; player.
2
1
2nd (1) (9/1 -125%) Thunder Star
9
9/1(-125%)
(1) Thunder Star 9/1, Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft, 11/2) 10 days ago. Shortlisted. Showed more back in cheekpieces last time and this is less competitive than she's used to.
3
3
3rd (3) (11/4 +80%) Buzz Box
2.75
11/4(+80%)
(3) Buzz Box 11/4, Course winner. 9/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 13 days ago. In the mix. Lightly raced and won't mind the return to 5f, having hung left throughout here latest.
4
5
4th (5) (12/1 +40%) Brian The Snail
12
12/1(+40%)
(5) Brian The Snail 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Thirsk in July. 14/1, good sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, slowly away. Ought to be in the shake-up. Rated a stone higher on the AW than turf; comfortably held behind Herakles over C&D latest.
5th
6
5th (6) (3/1 +45%) Honour Your Dreams
3
3/1(+45%)
(6) Honour Your Dreams 3/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 18 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Didn't quite see it out over 6f on Tapeta last time; goes on the shortlist back over 5f.
6th
4
6th (4) (15/2 -67%) Zuffolo
7.5
15/2(-67%)
(4) Zuffolo 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in September. Good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 14 days ago. Can go well again. C&D winner off the same mark this time last year; consistent spell since blinkers went on.
7th
7
7th (7) (9/2 +18%) Herakles
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(7) Herakles 9/2, C&D winner. Good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 14 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Dual C&D winner who's consistent and arrives in form; hard to leave out of the equation.
18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BRUMMELL found only the progressive Balmoral Lady too good in a tougher sprint at Yarmouth last month. A potential improver on his second start after wind surgery, the son of Dandy Man can resume winning ways in this lower grade. Thunder Star placed at Newmarket on her latest outing and another good account seems assured competing off a slightly lower mark, while Zuffolo arrives in fine fettle and is preferred to Herakles of the remainder.
None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to BRUMMELL who rates just the pick of these weights on the back of his very good recent Yarmouth second. C&D scorer Zuffolo heads the list of dangers with Herakles, Thunder Star and Honour Your Dreams also well in the mix.
The return to 5f will suit the hard-pulling HONOUR YOUR DREAMS. Brummell is second choice in a trappy handicap.
(6) William Dewhirst 14/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (7f, heavy) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Not ruled out. Inconsistent this term; attractively handicapped but isn't entirely solid.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/1 0%) King's School
4
4/1(0%)
(4) King's School 4/1, Still to score but he's knocking on the door, not enjoying the clearest of passages when an excellent second of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there. In-form maiden who has finished a solid second in two races here since dropped to 7f.
3
10
3rd (10) (18/1 -80%) Sir Maxi
18
18/1(-80%)
(10) Sir Maxi 18/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 8/1) 9 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Inconsistent for current stable; fighting chance if this is one of his better days.
4
3
4th (3) (6/1 +8%) Finn Ironside
6
6/1(+8%)
(3) Finn Ironside 6/1, Winner at York in July. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. One to consider. Ran creditably over C&D most recently and ties in with King's School on that form.
5th
1
5th (1) (11/4 +21%) Lahab
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(1) Lahab 11/4, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) 51 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Back up in trip. Needs considering. 0-13 in handicaps but looks interesting off a reduced mark dropped to Class 6.
6th

(7) Izzari 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 32 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve. Chance depends on whether this switch to AW prompts improvement.

(9) Rob's Umberella 66/1, Last of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 80/1) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Three duck eggs switched to handicap level this autumn; opposed.

8/1(+11%)
(8) King's Crown 8/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has a poor strike-rate but C&D effort in September puts him in the picture.

9th (5) (10/1 -43%) Turbo Command

10/1(-43%)
(5) Turbo Command 10/1, C&D winner. Good third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. Won off 2lb lower over C&D in March; generally consistent since; solid chance.

11/2(+8%)
(2) Ahamoment 11/2, C&D winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm, 9/1) 53 days ago, driven out. Merits consideration. Record of 314 at Newcastle; won at Ayr last time and is still competitively treated.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
King's School may prove popular after coming home second on his last two starts, but an added 5lb from the handicapper won't help and he may have to settle for another place. Ahamoment scored by a couple of lengths at Ayr in September and he can go well despite a 5lb rise having won off 1lb higher over C&D in January, but TURBO COMMAND gets the nod. All five career wins have been over this trip on the all-weather and, after a close-up third at Southwell last time, he may be ready to strike again.
A few with chances but KING'S SCHOOL signalled he is ready to strike when a fine recent runner-up over C&D and can gain a deserved breakthrough victory. C&D scorer Ahamoment heads the list of dangers, with Turbo Command, Lahab and William Dewhirst all worthy of consideration too.
Judged on his recent C&D efforts, KING'S SCHOOL looks set to get off the mark. Finn Ironside is second choice.
(2) Howzak 7/2, Arrives in very good nick, third of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5f) 10 days ago. Big shout. Good record at this time of year and has been running well on Tapeta lately; player.

6/1(-33%)
(5) Laura's Breeze 6/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 6 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not been at her best in two runs back from a summer break, latterly over C&D last Tuesday.

3rd (6) (9/1 -80%) Miami Hills
9
9/1(-80%)
(6) Miami Hills 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Creditabel fourth of 6 in novice (16/1) at this C&D 41 days ago. Makes handicap debut and may do better still. This is more realistic off a lowly opening mark back from a break; look for support.

4th (1) (4/1 +11%) Kats Bob

4/1(+11%)
(1) Kats Bob 4/1, C&D winner. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 50 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Drops in class but he does need a revival back from a seven-week break; market useful.
5th

5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Pinpoint
18
18/1(-125%)
(4) Pinpoint 18/1, 12/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (5f). Off 101 days. Has good chance on pick of form. Done a lot of racing over 5f and has had his moments at the stalls; back from a break.
6th

6th (7) (13/2 +35%) Havana Rose

13/2(+35%)
(7) Havana Rose 13/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Hasn't been seeing it out over 7f since undergoing wind surgery; is one to consider.
7th

7th (3) (85/40 +87%) Wessex

85/40(+87%)
(3) Wessex 85/40, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy, 28/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Has continued to struggle since a poor odds-on comeback; has it to prove on his AW debut.
19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
With a lack of recent winning form to work with, it may be sensible to side with HOWZAK, who has won five times on the all-weather and was only beaten half a length here when third earlier in the month. Three of his victories have been off higher marks and a repeat of his last run may be all he needs to score. Miami Hills is lightly raced and could have more to offer from a lowly mark on her handicap debut, leaving the dropped-in-class Kats Bob to possibly chase them home.
This is wide open but HOWZAK edges the verdict on the back of his very good recent third here. Pinpoint is weighted to have a big say if back on his A-game so could emerge as the chief danger ahead of handicap-debutante Miami Hills.
The return to 6f will suit HAVANA ROSE, who's tumbled down the weights in recent times. Keep an eye on Miami Hills in the market.
