15:23 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +31%) Sol Cayo	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Sol Cayo 11/4, 4-y-o who ran best race for present connections when second of 9 in a C&D handicap in October. Profile on all weather is a positive one and he's respected from this sort of mark. Back to form when second over C&D in October and has claims if he can back that up.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -60%) Brodie's Boy	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Brodie's Boy 16/1, Kempton maiden winner (12f) for Barry Brennan in March but looked in the grip of the assessor in pair of starts for new yard, unable to land a blow when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 26 days ago. Ease back down in class in his favour here. Won a Kempton maiden (1m4f) in March but has found it tough going back in handicaps since.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +38%) Phone Tag	5 5/1(+38%)	(6) Phone Tag 5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to soft, 11/1) 46 days ago. Comes here having eased further in the weights and he's unexposed on all-weather. Record of 1-14 and well-held sixth in last two starts; needs to raise his game back on AW.
4	8 4th (8) (40/1 -82%) Treasure Storm	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) Treasure Storm 40/1, 5f winner at 2 yrs for Dominic Ffrench Davis who ran one of her better races for this yard when seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Step back up in trip may help now. Record of 1-12 and she needs to find more on this step back up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/4 -83%) Orbital	2.75 11/4(-83%)	(5) Orbital 11/4, Pair of AW wins in the summer and got back on the up away from testing ground when second of 11 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Headgear back on and merits consideration again despite being nudged up 2 lb. Dual AW winner who had a close call over C&D last time; big player again up 2lb.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 +45%) Life On The Rocks	6 6/1(+45%)	(7) Life On The Rocks 6/1, 4 wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Windsor (10f) in August. Not scaling same heights on all-weather in recent starts, tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago. Four wins on turf this summer but well held back on AW in last three runs; down the list.
7th	1 7th (1) (18/1 -80%) Chillhi	18 18/1(-80%)	(1) Chillhi 18/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 8 days ago, outpaced around 2f out and plodding on. Cheekpieces reached for now but he's not the easiest to assess at present. His last win was in September 2022 and he's generally struggled under both codes this year.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -191%) Orange N Blue	16 16/1(-191%)	(3) Orange N Blue 16/1, 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f) in January. Changed hands for 6,000 gns in May and interesting if market vibes are positive on return to action. Lightly raced 4yo who needs a close look on his comeback for new yard.

15:23 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Orbital went agonisingly close over C&D a fortnight ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may help to eke out a bit more from the daughter of Pivotal. The vote goes to SOL CAYO, though, who appeared to relish the return to an artificial surface last time out and might be able to build on that performance. Orange N Blue is also noted.

ORBITAL got back on the up away from testing ground when finishing a good second in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago and she looks a lead player once more with first-time cheekpieces now enlisted. Sol Cayo ran his best race for present connections when also runner-up here in October and is a threat. Orange N Blue is another to note on debut for Ruth Carr.

This can go to dual AW winner ORBITAL, who was as good as ever when going close over C&D two weeks ago. Sol Cayo is feared most.

15:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +56%) Oriental Prince	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(8) Oriental Prince 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fared better than previously when runner-up over 6f here in October and proved too free when fifth of 10 in handicap back here (6f) 11 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing with a 1st time hood now reached for. Promising 2nd here after a break; went off quick latest; hooded now down to 5f; unexposed.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +45%) Wee Fat Mac	3 3/1(+45%)	(2) Wee Fat Mac 3/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 9/1) 64 days ago. Not out of things from this sort of mark back on all weather. Won a division of this race last year off this mark; should go well in bid for a repeat.
3	11 3rd (11) (22/1 -175%) Lady Of The Garr	22 22/1(-175%)	(11) Lady Of The Garr 22/1, Remains a maiden after 15 starts but turned in another creditable display when third in 9-runner C&D handicap in September, that despite blindfold being removed late. Needs considering back from 96 days off. 15-race maiden; solid C&D 3rd in September when last seen; a career best is required.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +30%) Jamie Bond	14 14/1(+30%)	(3) Jamie Bond 14/1, All the better for reappearance run when fourth at Catterick (5f) in August but ran poorly both starts since, always behind when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well short of his best in two runs last month; down in the weights but others appeal more.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -178%) Doon The Glen	25 25/1(-178%)	(10) Doon The Glen 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June. Each-way claims from his basement mark if ready to roll after 6 months off. 0-16 but has shown promise, including at this track; has 199-day absence to overcome.
6th	4 6th (4) (6/1 +20%) Show Me Show Me	6 6/1(+20%)	(4) Show Me Show Me 6/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, no extra last ½f. Comes here lurking on a handy mark if he can build on that effort. Travelled much more sweetly over C&D last week when well backed; dangerous mark; contender.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +14%) Caesars Pearl	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Caesars Pearl 12/1, Pleasing effort returning from 5 months off when third at Southwell (6f) last month but underwhelming display in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/1) 29 days ago. Returns to the minimum trip now. Penultimate run perhaps a touch flattering and she was well held at Wolverhampton latest.
8th	12 8th (12) (9/2 +40%) Pockley	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(12) Pockley 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Produced best effort for some time when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, nearest finish. Has tumbled down the weights this year and he's worthy of consideration on the back of that. Latest run can be upgraded but he can blow the start and isn't the safest option.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +25%) Phoenix Star	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Phoenix Star 9/1, 5-time C&D winner. 17/2, shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 46 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Prolific winner; good record for today's rider; sharper for a run last month; good chance.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +0%) Henery Hawk	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Henery Hawk 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. 16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 76 days ago, never competitive after a typically sluggish start. Others appeal more for win purposes on balance. Looks thrown in back on Tapeta but today's rider is just 3-152 for the stable.
11th	7 11th (7) (50/1 -100%) Borough	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Borough 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Wee Fat Mac. Down in the weights but 2024 has been a write-off and slow starts are a recurring issue.

15:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Although HENERY HAWK has made little impact on his last three turf starts, the five-year-old has a far better record on artificial surfaces and, now 13lb below his last winning mark, it would come as no surprise were Linda Perratt's charge to find a return to form. Others to note include Show Me Show Me, Lady Of The Garr and Recon Mission.

POCKLEY ran his best race for a while when finishing fifth in a C&D handicap 39 days ago and in the hope he can use that as a platform to build upon, he looks too well handicapped to ignore. Wee Fat Mac, Oriental Prince and Recon Mission are others to consider, along with Lady of The Garr.

Several make appeal but Show Me Show Me and PHOENIX STAR could be the pair to focus on. The latter can gain a sixth course win.

16:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/10 +27%) Volenti	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(1) Volenti 11/10, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Can defy a penalty. On the up for this yard, winning twice over C&D in recent months; big player under penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +33%) Commander Crouch	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(3) Commander Crouch 10/3, One win from 25 Flat runs. First run since leaving Jim Boyle when fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 3/1) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. Promising stable debut last month when slowly run 7f wasn't ideal; this should suit better.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +59%) Leap Year Lad	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(4) Leap Year Lad 9/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 20/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Struggled since July but down in weights and had a wind op since latest; check betting.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -50%) Jujubella	9 9/1(-50%)	(5) Jujubella 9/1, 11/2, creditable 4½ lengths third of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Two solid runs for new yard; work to do with Volenti on last week's C&D run; headgear now.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 +0%) Pop Favorite	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Pop Favorite 25/1, 6-time C&D winner. 28/1, 15 lengths eleventh of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Blinkers back on. Conditions ideal but none too consistent and 15l behind Volenti here last week.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -25%) Dee's Dream	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Dee's Dream 25/1, 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm). Off 168 days. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. 1m4f win for former yard; out of form for much of 2024; down in trip for stable debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -40%) Barossa	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Barossa 28/1, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Winner here in July. Eighth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago. 7f win here in the summer; form has cooled more recently and others look safer.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -38%) Martin's Brig	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Martin's Brig 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 11 days ago. Yet to shine this winter but down in the weights and he goes well over C&D; could revive.
9th	12 9th (12) (22/1 +67%) Wath Court	22 22/1(+67%)	(12) Wath Court 22/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 90 days ago. Others more persuasive. Exposed maiden; little since May to suggest he was ready to exploit his reduced mark.
10th	11 10th (11) (125/1 -89%) Born To Charm	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Born To Charm 125/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Roger Fell & Sean Murray when 22½ lengths last of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Tailed off on his stable debut over C&D last week; headgear now reached for.

16:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

VOLENTI continued his fine spell of form when winning over C&D recently and although a 5lb penalty will make life tougher, he holds outstanding claims against some out-of-form rivals and is taken to go in again. Jujubella finished behind the selection in third that day and may find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Commander Crouch heads the remainder.

VOLENTI pulled clear with another in-form sort when scoring over C&D last week and looks capable of defying a penalty. Commander Crouch caught the eye starting out for this yard here 6 weeks ago so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of 4-time C&D winner Odd Socks Havana.

Volenti is solid after last week's C&D win but Leap Year Lad and COMMANDER CROUCH lurk on tempting marks.

17:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 3) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/5 -98%) Longhaired General	1.8 9/5(-98%)	(4) Longhaired General 9/5, Lightly-raced gelding. 11/10, third of 8 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 149 days ago, found to be lame. Makes tapeta debut. Good chance if all is well. Thirsk second in June sets a clear standard; absent since finishing lame in July; AW debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -175%) Steps In Time	11 11/1(-175%)	(2) Steps In Time 11/1, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 2/1) 15 days ago. Debut run was more promising. Placed in two runs at Wolverhampton this winter; improvement required to win.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 -167%) Thats My Boy Luke	16 16/1(-167%)	(3) Thats My Boy Luke 16/1, Fair gelding. Creditable second of 6 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 47 days ago. Will probably need a bit more to open account in this. Exposed maiden; improvement required to come out on top this time.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +55%) Sorontar	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(5) Sorontar 9/2, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 11/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Stiff task on figures but he may well run better than likely odds would suggest.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/8 +77%) Lechuga Lad	1.375 11/8(+77%)	(1) Lechuga Lad 11/8, Territories gelding. Dam, 16.5f winner, half-sister to useful Italian 1¼m/11f winner Wickwing. Starts out in a winnable contest and in-form yard do strike with the odd one first time out. Dam a minor 2m AW winner; starts out in an uncompetitive maiden; check betting.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Jam Lass	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Jam Lass 66/1, U S Navy Flag filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 8.5f-1½m winner Expansion (graded winner in US) out of smart 1¼m/10.5f French winner La Sylphide. Minor appeal on paper and she would look an unlikely winner on debut.

17:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Steps In Time has shown enough ability on both of his starts to date to suggest a race of this nature would be within his compass, but he may come out second best to LONGHAIRED GENERAL. Craig Lidster's three-year-old was last seen finishing third at Redcar in July and sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 79. Any market support behind Lechuga Lad would be interesting.

LONGHAIRED GENERAL had excuses for his Redcar flop when last seen and in the hope all is well he can make a successful return now switched to tapeta (related to several AW winners). Newcomer Lechuga Lad might be the danger.

With form which is a cut above that of his rivals, LONGHAIRED GENERAL can make a winning AW debut. Sorontar can chase him home.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (8/1 +11%) Trais Fluors	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Trais Fluors 8/1, Course winner over 1m in November. Respectable 2 lengths fifth of 12 to Panama City back here (1m again) since. Not at his best behind Panama City (1m) here last time but still has mileage in his mark.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +50%) Lahab	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(6) Lahab 9/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 9 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Eased another 2 lb on the back of that. Did not live up to market billing here the last twice; down in the weights; not discounted.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/4 +32%) Rebecca's Girl	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(8) Rebecca's Girl 9/4, C&D winner this month and shaped well when second over 1m here 3 days ago, the longer trip just stretching her after she looked sure to win over 1f out. Leading claims back at 7f. Bolted up over C&D 11 days ago and picked off only late over 1m 3 days later; big chance.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -25%) Cusack	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Cusack 20/1, Six-time course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (1m) 40 days ago, very slowly away. Back on a good mark but need to see more. On a good mark but the drop in trip and class isn't enough to tempt this time.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +30%) Thanks Dad	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Thanks Dad 14/1, Below-form 8¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Jkr Cobbler over C&D 50 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Others more persuasive. 12-race maiden for whom the addition of a tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.
6th	12 6th (12) (17/2 -6%) Flash The Dash	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(12) Flash The Dash 17/2, C&D winner. 10/3, below form third of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 74 days ago. The return to 7f should suit. Two course wins; in fair form over 6f when last seen and looks ready for the return to 7f.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Drakeholes	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Drakeholes 11/1, Four-time C&D winner, the latest in November. 9/4, creditable 2¾ lengths third of 7 to Jkr Cobbler over C&D last time, left poorly placed. Three C&D wins this year; latest 3rd came in a race not run to suit; should run well.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -83%) Pallas Lord	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Pallas Lord 22/1, Five wins here between January and March. Not at best back from a break this autumn but he's starting to look well handicapped again. Five course wins early in the year; back down the weights without looking primed to strike.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -33%) Jkr Cobbler	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Jkr Cobbler 8/1, On a C&D hat-trick after wins in October/November. A 3 lb rise for last time is more than offset by Warren Fentiman's 7 lb claim. Likely to have a big say. Chasing a C&D hat-trick but this is a deeper race than those he's been winning.
10th	5 10th (5) (10/1 -43%) Panama City	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Panama City 10/1, Won 12-runner course handicap (1m) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 3 lb nudge. Good strike-rate on AW and should make another bold bid back at 7f.
11th	1 11th (1) (28/1 -12%) Ideal Guest	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Ideal Guest 28/1, Well held both starts for new yard since returning from a year off. Can only watch until showing more. Two heavy defeats for new yard after an absence; headgear returns now down into a Class 6.
12th	4 12th (4) (125/1 -150%) B Associates	125 125/1(-150%)	(4) B Associates 125/1, Three wins from 17 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in September. Has finished down the field in 4 starts for this yard, though. Four heavy defeats since joining current yard; drop to Class 6 is not enough to tempt.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jkr Cobbler is in fine form at present and should mount a bold bid in his attempt to complete a C&D hat-trick, but it may pay to side with REBECCA'S GIRL. The daughter of Sioux Nation finished over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over a mile here last time and the drop back in trip might work the oracle. Panama City is another to note.

REBECCA'S GIRL will be ideally suited by the return to 7f and can land a second course win of the month and deny Jkr Cobbler a C&D hat-trick. Panama City and Drakeholes are other recent course scorers who could have a part to play in what looks quite a competitive race for the level.

Although beaten over a mile here last week, it was still another fine run from REBECCA'S GIRL and she remains ahead of her mark.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +50%) The Ridler	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(8) The Ridler 7/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 11 days ago. Can make presence felt. 0-11 this year but retains ability and ran well over 6f latest; one to take seriously.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +0%) Mondammej	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(6) Mondammej 10/3, Made short work of a 3 lb rise when winning handicap at this C&D (9/2) 11 days ago. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. 2-2, both over C&D, since a wind op and he's high on the list in his hat-trick bid.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -78%) Our Absent Friends	16 16/1(-78%)	(5) Our Absent Friends 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in September. 16/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Conditions suit and he ran well when 4th here last month; should give his running again.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 +22%) Dark Kestrel	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Dark Kestrel 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 12 days ago. C&D win in October has been followed by two good runs off this mark; stable runs two.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +26%) El Bufalo	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(2) El Bufalo 10/3, 13/2, very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 12 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Player. Best of the prominent racers in strongly run Chelmsford event latest; unexposed; chance.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -38%) Commander Straker	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Commander Straker 22/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Risky proposition at present. Has not fired in two runs this winter after a wind op/259-day absence; others look safer.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Paddy's Day	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Paddy's Day 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, creditable close second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago. In the mix. Comes here in top form but he's creeping up the weights and finds winning tricky.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 -43%) Novak	40 40/1(-43%)	(9) Novak 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Two 7f wins this autumn but has plenty to prove dropped to 5f.
9th	7 9th (7) (18/1 -64%) Parisiac	18 18/1(-64%)	(7) Parisiac 18/1, Latest win at Nottingham in November. Below form 3¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Mondammej in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 11 days ago. Two wins since joining Iain Jardine but he was no match for Mondammej here 11 days ago.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

THE RIDLER bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot on his latest outing and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 2lb. Richard Fahey's four-year-old should have no issues with this drop in trip and can go one better. The main threat is Mondammej, who is seeking a C&D hat-trick and holds an obvious chance. Paddy's Day is another to consider.

MONDAMMEJ is a different proposition since a recent breathing operation and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. El Bufalo was an excellent second on his first run back since a gelding operation at Chelmsford 2 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of Paddy's Day, who continues to knock on the door.

The Ridler should go well back at 5f but MONDAMMEJ is back in the zone after his wind op and he can complete his hat-trick.

5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 -14%) King's Crown	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) King's Crown 16/1, One win from 29 starts. 18/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 8 days ago. It's likely the wait for a second win will go on. Poor strike-rate; flashes of form this year but he looks vulnerable again in a deep race.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/2 +36%) Tickets	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(9) Tickets 7/2, Course winner over 7f in October. 11/2, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 5 days ago. Respected. Ran well dropped to 5f here last week; up in class but returning to 6f can only help.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Beale Street won here last month, but paid the price for missing the break back at this track last time, and JACKSON STREET looks a safer proposition. Dylan Cunha's inmate remains unexposed over 6f, having scored over course and distance a fortnight ago, and another bold bid looks on the cards. Rapido Girl is likely to be in the mix too.

TOO MUCH has had a good spell here lately and might be able to resume winning ways back at 6f. Jackson Street, a last-time-out C&D scorer, Beale Street and Tickets head the dangers.

A 5lb higher mark in a better race asks more of JACKSON STREET (nap) but he won well here two weeks ago and is unexposed at 6f.

1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +22%) Bellagio Man	7 7/1(+22%)	(8) Bellagio Man 7/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Should give another good account for yard also responsible for Spartan Fighter. Not straightforward but more than capable off this mark & ran well at Southwell last week.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) Emily Post	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Emily Post 8/1, Course winner. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1) 26 days ago. Needs considering back here off the same mark. 7f course winner; solid run over this trip at Southwell last month; each-way shout.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/2 +18%) Captain Vallo	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(10) Captain Vallo 9/2, C&D winner earlier this month. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 3 days ago, never nearer. Strong claims off the same mark. In good form but this is a stronger race than he has been contesting.
4	2 4th (2) (11/4 0%) King's School	2.75 11/4(0%)	(2) King's School 11/4, 5/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time and likely to be in the thick of things once again. Banging at the door but he's gone up 11lb for 2nds on last four starts; new trip/headgear.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 -10%) Spartan Fighter	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Spartan Fighter 22/1, Six-time C&D winner, the latest in October. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, going off too hard. Possibilities back down in trip with blinkers refitted. C&D win in October was the last time he raced over 6f; went off too fast latest; chance.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 +27%) Lequinto	8 8/1(+27%)	(1) Lequinto 8/1, Quirky sort. 50/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks set for another struggle. Not beaten far over 5f last month and he drops in class on this return to his best trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -65%) Giselles Izzy	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Giselles Izzy 33/1, Three wins from 18 runs this year. 40/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Ran okay over 7f here two weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to back it up.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Fletchers Dream	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Fletchers Dream 18/1, C&D winner in November. 13/2, ninth of 12 in handicap back at this course (5f) 24 days ago. Would have a chance if on a going day but his profile is starting to look rather patchy. C&D win last month (made all) but less good over 5f next time; others look stronger.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 +13%) Quintus Arrius	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Quintus Arrius 14/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on and needs to raise his game. Low-key return from a wind op here 11 days ago; risky despite his attractive mark.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/2 -22%) Clipsham La Habana	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Clipsham La Habana 11/2, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's a strong each-way candidate. Creditable 3rd over 7f here two weeks ago; quick enough for 6f but needs a bit more to win.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

EMILY POST wasn't beaten far when fourth at Southwell last time. The third-placed horse has subsequently won, so that form looks solid enough, and Michael Dods' sprinter was winning off a higher mark at this venue last year. Lequinto is potentially well treated on previous winning form and is not easily dismissed, while King's School gets a change of headgear and could also land a blow.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN VALLO, who put in good late work when third at Southwell on Saturday and he was a decisive winner over this C&D eight days earlier. King's School has been knocking firmly on the door and he will surely will play another leading role, provided that the first-time blinkers have the desired effect. Emily Post is third on the list ahead of Clipsham La Habana.

Bella Kopella hinted at a revival here last time but this could be the day that the cards fall right for BELLAGIO MAN.

Respectable 3 lengths sixth of 11 to Cut To The Chase in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 5 days ago. Place possibilities. 3l behind Cut To The Chase over C&D last week; work to do to reverse the placings.
3	1 3rd (1) (85/40 +53%) Cut To The Chase	2.125 85/40(+53%)	(1) Cut To The Chase 85/40, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. More needed under a penalty. Ready winner of a similar event over C&D last week; strong claims despite the 6lb penalty.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +30%) Ballyare	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Ballyare 14/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 46 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. He hasn't been at his best for a while now and the return to 6f isn't enough to tempt.

Respectable third of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Place possibilities. Placed on his last three starts; return to Class 6 is a plus; losing run of 47 though.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 -54%) Arc Tesoro	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Arc Tesoro 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 6/1) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -100%) Royal City	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Royal City 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7.1f). Off 7 months (had breathing op) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. No progress in two handicap runs in the spring but she's had a wind op since; check market.

Makes tapeta debut and visor on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Penultimate run gives her claims; this 6f is more suitable than the 5f she tackled latest.

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

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

CUT TO THE CHASE was having only his fifth outing on the all-weather when successful here last week. He seemingly won with plenty left in the tank and has enough scope for further improvement to defy a penalty. She'sashambles has solid claims having found only one too good over course and distance on her latest start, while Royal City returns from a break with a chance.

Preference is for SHE'SASHAMBLES, who is 0-11 on the all-weather but she has been knocking on the door in handicaps here in recent months. Phillip Makin's charge remains on a workable mark and gets the nod ahead of Noble Consort and Asadjumeirah. Recent C&D scorer Cut To The Chase has more on his plate under a penalty.

The drop to 6f worked the oracle for CUT TO THE CHASE here last week and he can defy a penalty at the main expense of Arc Tesoro.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
