1	1 1st (1) (4/9 +73%) Hallo Spaceboy		0.444444 4/9(+73%)																															(1) Hallo Spaceboy 4/9, Improved from debut when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a novice over 6f at Newmarket last time. Trainer in form and effective at 6f; has shown enough to win a maiden. Two promising 6f runs on turf; this is weaker and he holds obvious claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 +0%) Real Jack		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Real Jack 14/1, Below form when beaten 10l in a novice over 6f at Redcar last time; bit more needed down in trip. Two 6f runs at Redcar haven't been too bad but still needs good step forward to take this.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 -118%) North West Gal		3 3/1(-118%)																															(5) North West Gal 3/1, Bit free but ran to form when second, beaten a nose, in a maiden at Catterick last time. Debut form franked at Listed level and has leading claims. Two promising efforts on turf and bred to go well on AW; leading contender.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +60%) Northern Tempest		10 10/1(+60%)																															(4) Northern Tempest 10/1, Bit free but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden over 6f at Pontefract last time; looks one for nurseries. Modest form in two turf runs over 6f; big step forward needed dropped in trip on AW debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +0%) Havin A Flyer		20 20/1(+0%)																															(8) Havin A Flyer 20/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 3l, in a nursery at Wolverhampton most recently; has had plenty of chances already. Exposed maiden who looks vulnerable at this level.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 0%) She's My Hobby		40 40/1(0%)																															(9) She's My Hobby 40/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 7l, in a novice at Southwell last time; bred to be effective at 6/7f and may do better in low-grade handicaps. Second run was better than her debut but still not easily recommended.
7th	2 7th (2) (200/1 -100%) Ganthorpe		200 200/1(-100%)																															(2) Ganthorpe 200/1, Too green to show anything, well beaten in a novice over 6f at Redcar on only start; likely to need more time. 50-1, green and tailed off on Redcar debut three weeks ago (6f, good); hard to recommend.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 -211%) Flowerpot		14 14/1(-211%)																															(6) Flowerpot 14/1, 13 May; Roseman filly; wide draw; yard's 2yos going well; watch betting. Not especially appealing on paper but represents a respected stable & needs a market check.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 +30%) Go Kylie Go		28 28/1(+30%)																															(7) Go Kylie Go 28/1, Too much to do after missing the break when fourth, beaten 11l, in a maiden over 6f at Pontefract last time; wide draw; drop in trip may not be ideal and looks one for handicaps. Modest form in two turf runs 108 days apart; marked improvement needed for switch to AW.

16:35 Newcastle (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HALLO SPACEBOY confirmed the promise of his debut third at York when filling second place over 6f at Newmarket late last month. That form suggests that Ed Walker's colt could be hard to beat here, although North West Gal has a similar profile and was only beaten a nose at Catterick a month ago. The rest do not inspire much confidence, but any market support for Flowerpot would have to be noted.

North West Gal can win a similar race but this looks an ease in grade for HALLO SPACEBOY and he can take full advantage.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +27%) Ciao Capo		2 2/1(+27%)																															(1) Ciao Capo 2/1, Ran to form but given too much to do when ridden to see out the trip, beaten 3 1/2l off 57 at Southwell last time. Has a top course trainer, bred to be effective at 7f+, unexposed at 1m on the all-weather and could progress. Creditable 4th upped to 1m at Southwell last month; eased in grade and commands respect.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 -100%) Lope Harswell		6 6/1(-100%)																															(7) Lope Harswell 6/1, Keen and given too much to do when ridden to see out the trip, beaten 2l off 46 over 7f here last time. Has some speed in the pedigree, with the dam a 8/10f winner; this step up in trip looks worth a try. Strong finish over 7f here 18 days ago; longer trip can help; not fully exposed.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +63%) Runninman		6 6/1(+63%)																															(2) Runninman 6/1, Again below debut level, down in trip and beaten 9 1/4l in a nursery over 5f at Ripon last time. Returns from a short break; pedigree shows a mix of speed and stamina, making this longer trip worth trying. Hard to recommend on his form over sprint trips; up in distance and down in class today.
4	3 4th (3) (2/1 +0%) Mr Nippy		2 2/1(+0%)																															(3) Mr Nippy 2/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 4l in a nursery here last time. Bred for 8f+, in form, and still early in his career. Good second over C&D earlier in the month; dangerous at this level.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 +50%) Lope Y Linda		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(5) Lope Y Linda 11/2, Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a nursery over 7f at Leicester last time. Showed promise over 5f and is bred for this trip, so may yet improve. Hopes rest on the step up in trip/switch to AW having a positive effect.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 -213%) Harswell River		25 25/1(-213%)																															(4) Harswell River 25/1, Scored by a neck off 53 at Redcar three starts back, but was below form when sixth beaten 6l off 55 last time. Effective at 7/8f; needs to bounce back. Fully exposed but she has won over 1m and off today's mark; stable run two here.
7th	6 7th (6) (80/1 -220%) Looks Likely		80 80/1(-220%)																															(6) Looks Likely 80/1, Did not find much when well beaten in a nursery at Southwell last time. Effective over 5-6f and on the all-weather, but has lost form recently and has stamina concerns. Heavy defeats on her last three starts and still to prove she needs this far.

17:10 Newcastle (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MR NIPPY was well held when second over C&D at the beginning of the month but that was still a promising effort. Off a 1lb lower mark, Charlie Johnston's colt just gets the vote ahead of Lope Harswell, who was only beaten a couple of lengths when fourth here last time. Others to note are Ciao Capo and Lope Y Linda.

Lope Harswell can benefit from the extra furlong but MR NIPPY can go one better than when second over C&D 23 days ago.

1	4 1st (4) (5/6 +39%) Montezin		0.833333 5/6(+39%)																															(4) Montezin 5/6, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden over 5f here latest; effective at 5f on the all-weather; in form and has shown enough to win a maiden. Runner-up in two Tapeta events over 5f last month; remains capable of better; 6f can suit.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +10%) Raveena		3 3/1(+10%)																															(6) Raveena 3/1, Below form on final qualifying run when beaten 6l in a maiden at Newbury last time; had been in good form prior; returning from a break and looks one for handicaps over further. Recorded an RPR in the 60s in three 6f runs on turf; improvement required on AW debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -45%) Shamacid		8 8/1(-45%)																															(5) Shamacid 8/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l, in a novice over 7f here latest; trainer is in form; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; consistent performer. Solid efforts in all five AW runs; likely to be in the thick of it back at 6f.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -50%) Hostility		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(3) Hostility 9/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 2 1/4l, in a novice at Southwell latest; suited by 7f and acts on any surface; recent form has been franked and he's well treated on Irish efforts though can be frustrating. Reliable but exposed and expensive to follow; this is another uncompetitive race though.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -21%) Al Muddy		40 40/1(-21%)																															(1) Al Muddy 40/1, Outpaced and never threatened when beaten 3 1/4l in a novice over 7f here on debut; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; the drop back in trip may not suit. Behind Shamacid here on debut three weeks ago; open to improvement.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 +25%) Approaching Dawn		150 150/1(+25%)																															(2) Approaching Dawn 150/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a maiden over 5f here last time; bred to want considerably further than 5f and has yet to show any ability. Finished last in two runs last month; hard to fancy.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +68%) Ruby Red Gove		16 16/1(+68%)																															(7) Ruby Red Gove 16/1, 3,000gns Showcasing filly; half-sister to Johnny Johnson, useful at 6f as a 2yo; dam was fair over 9f. 3,000gns half-sister to 6f AW winner Shine Honey Shine (RPR 65); market to guide.

17:45 Newcastle (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MONTEZIN has had a couple of attempts here and at Wolverhampton, finishing second on both occasions, and he knows enough about the game now to strike. Shamacid and Hostility are no strangers to finishing second either, but they are more exposed than the selection so Antony Brittain's charge might have that bit more scope for improvement. Keep an eye on Raveena too.

Hostility should go close again but he is vulnerable to improvers and MONTEZIN may fit that bill.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +27%) Electric Avenue		4 4/1(+27%)																															(4) Electric Avenue 4/1, Bit free but ran to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 63 over 7f here last time; effective from 7f to 1m; consistent and remains competitive. Running well here prior to latest 7f win; up 4lb but seems likely to run well again.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -38%) Valkyrja		9 9/1(-38%)																															(6) Valkyrja 9/1, Scored by 2l off 56 at Yarmouth on her penultimate start; ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l off 61 last time; wide draw; effective at 7f and 8f; progressive type on the all-weather. A win and two seconds since cheekpieces went on; up in weights but on the right path.
3	7 3rd (7) (3/1 -118%) Second Fiddle		3 3/1(-118%)																															(7) Second Fiddle 3/1, Did it cosily when landing a handicap by 3l off 54 here last time; suited by 1m; thriving for her new yard and could have more to come. 5-5 for Iain Jardine, the last four over C&D; up 10lb and this is a step up in class.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -20%) Coeur Jaune		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Coeur Jaune 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 71 at Southwell last time; suited by 1m; very consistent but the handicapper may be in charge. Two 1m turf wins this summer; progress stalled since but respected back against own sex.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -60%) Samra Star		16 16/1(-60%)																															(1) Samra Star 16/1, Scored by 2l off 65 over 7f here in October; had every chance but was below form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l off 69 last time; effective from 7f to 9f, suited by all-weather; in good form until latest effort. 7f win here last month but not built on it since; others more appealing for the win.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/4 +71%) Angel Of Rain		1.75 7/4(+71%)																															(3) Angel Of Rain 7/4, Made late gains when beaten 3l off 70 over 7f at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f and 7f; fared better when dropped to this grade latest. Not fully exposed and looks ready for this new trip; high on the list.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -25%) Camzara		20 20/1(-25%)																															(5) Camzara 20/1, Stopped quickly when finishing down the field in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton most recently; tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective from 8f to 10f; has a bit to prove. C&D 3rd in April was a good run; not got home in 2 handicaps over further; new tongue-tie.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 +0%) Princess Pw		12 12/1(+0%)																															(8) Princess Pw 12/1, Below form in first-time visor when fourth beaten 5l in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh latest; effective from 7f to 8f; has lost form and drops again in the weights. Return to AW in her favour but she is an exposed maiden and others appeal more.

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

Look no further than SECOND FIDDLE. This admirable mare comes here chasing a six-timer and has really thrived over the track and trip in recent months. She might not be done progressing just yet on the evidence of her latest three-length success and it could be more of the same here. The dangers are Electric Avenue and Angel Of Rain.

Coeur Jaune is high on the list but stepping up to 1m can see ANGEL OF RAIN (nap) take a step forward.

Effective 7-8f on this surface and remains on a workable mark. Five-time turf winner, including latest; promise on AW despite limited success; chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/2 +58%) Jesmond Dawn		2.5 5/2(+58%)																															(7) Jesmond Dawn 5/2, Scored by 4 1/4l off 58 here two runs ago and ran to form when third, beaten a neck off 67 last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and remains well treated. Easy C&D winner this month and might have been a shade unlucky over 1m here on Saturday.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -38%) Triggerman		9 9/1(-38%)																															(1) Triggerman 9/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l in a Beverley handicap last time; returning from a break. Effective from 7f to 8f and generally consistent. AW winner; several good runs on turf this year; had wind op during his absence; considered.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 -60%) Swiss Ace		16 16/1(-60%)																															(9) Swiss Ace 16/1, Every chance but below form when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective over 7-8f and probably best on a sound surface; bit to prove after two poor runs. On a lowly mark but losing run stretches back 23 months and he ran poorly last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 +36%) King David		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(6) King David 7/2, Did too much too soon out wide when beaten 3l off 68 at Southwell last time; wide draw again. Effective over 7-8f on this surface and generally consistent. Promising stable debut last month and he's feasibly weighted; not ruled out.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/3 +39%) Judgment Call		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(2) Judgment Call 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off 69 over 6f here last time; enjoys making the running. Effective at 7f; signs of better form recently and fairly treated if building on that. Conditions no problem and he's run well on his last two starts; should remain competitive.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -56%) Evocative Spark		28 28/1(-56%)																															(8) Evocative Spark 28/1, Scored by 2l off 58 at Catterick two starts ago but never threatened when sixth, beaten 8 1/4l off 63 last time. Effective 6-8f and on about the right mark. Had excuses last time and in good form beforehand; capable of bouncing back quickly.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -18%) Bajan Bandit		33 33/1(-18%)																															(4) Bajan Bandit 33/1, Found little when well beaten in a 9f Wolverhampton handicap last time. Suited by 7/8f and acts on any surface, but his mark is falling and current form is poor. Three heavy defeats following a wind op in September; on good mark but risky.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 -100%) Jkr Cobbler		22 22/1(-100%)																															(10) Jkr Cobbler 22/1, Won by 1/2l off 60 at Ayr in September but never threatened when sixth, beaten 8l off 64 last time. Effective at 7f and acts on this surface; yet to win off a mark this high. Conditions to suit and running well prior to a lesser effort at Musselburgh last time.
10th	11 10th (11) (25/1 -127%) Patontheback		25 25/1(-127%)																															(11) Patontheback 25/1, Every chance and ran to form when beaten 2l off 64 at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw. Suited by 7f and wants a sound surface; form can vary. None too consistent but this C&D winner isn't handicapped out of things.
11th	5 11th (5) (6/1 +33%) Finn Ironside		6 6/1(+33%)																															(5) Finn Ironside 6/1, Won a handicap by a length off 64 here two starts ago. Made too much use of last time and finished down the field; effective at 7f and generally consistent, though the mark looks stiff. Won twice in the summer, including C&D; last time easy to excuse and he can't be dismissed.

A trappy race. JKR Cobbler and EVOCATIVE SPARK were below par on their latest starts but can quickly bounce back.

Two Tapeta wins around the turn of the year; good mark but has a mixed record since May.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +45%) Joseph		3 3/1(+45%)																															(6) Joseph 3/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 8f and all form on the all-weather. Edging down the weights but remains an exposed maiden. Inconsistent maiden but conditions no problem and hes down to a lowly mark; considered.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +17%) Yafaarr		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(4) Yafaarr 5/2, Won by a neck off 60 here two runs ago and ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 66 last time. Effective at 7–8f and handles the all-weather. In form and another good effort looks likely. C&D win last month and ran well for second here (7f) this month; big player back at a mile.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -33%) Emery Down		6 6/1(-33%)																															(3) Emery Down 6/1, Returned to form down in grade when beaten 2l off 68 over 7f here last time. Effective at 7f and on the all-weather. Needs to build on that recent revival. Back to form when 3rd over 7f here 17 days ago; one of two runners for John Butler.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +60%) Jamaican Storm		4 4/1(+60%)																															(5) Jamaican Storm 4/1, Raced far too freely when beaten 4 1/2l in a 7f handicap at Redcar last time. Has a wide draw but effective at 7–8f and best on the all-weather. Excuses for recent runs and now lower in the weights. 0-9 but seems better on AW and the return to this surface could see a full revival.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -9%) Jachin		12 12/1(-9%)																															(7) Jachin 12/1, Scored by 2l off 59 here three starts back but was far too free when seventh, beaten 10l off 65 last time. Suited by 1m and acts on the all-weather. A hold-up ride suits though he can be inconsistent. C&D win in September but he hasn't backed it up twice since; not a solid option.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 -78%) Roaring Twenties		8 8/1(-78%)																															(1) Roaring Twenties 8/1, Outpaced and had too much to do when beaten 2l off 70 over 7f at Redcar last time. Blinkers go on for the first time, trainer in form. Effective at 7f on a sound surface, though inconsistent. The step back up in trip could suit. 0-6 but not beaten far at Redcar (7f) three weeks ago; blinkers now enlisted.
8th	8 8th (8) (150/1 -436%) Precious Sapphire		150 150/1(-436%)																															(8) Precious Sapphire 150/1, Has shown no worthwhile form and returns from a break. Bred to appreciate 1m or further but showed nothing in maidens, leaving plenty to prove in handicaps. Poor form in three turf starts; out of the weights on handicap debut; plenty to prove.

YAFAARR is holding his form well and finished a creditable second over 7f here last time. A winner over C&D prior to that, Sam England's charge looks worthy of another chance. Studious is well treated on his winning form on the all-weather and could bounce back, while Emery Down has a bit to prove over this distance but a good effort over 7f here recently offered something to work on.

The return to AW could see JAMAICAN STORM bounce back to form and he's well handicapped if that proves the case. Yafaarr is feared.

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.
