15:15 Newcastle (Class 4) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (5/4 +50%) Antrim	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(2) Antrim 5/4, Run of race, off the mark when winning a novice here by 5l last time on final start for Gosdens; effective 10f, acts on G, AW; capable of better handicapping for new yard. Won comfortably from front in C&D novice; left the Gosdens for 130,000gns later in October.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +0%) Jez Bomb	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Jez Bomb 9/2, Won by 3/4l off 70 here on his penultimate start and ran to form last time when a bit keen. Effective from 8-10f and handles a sound surface. In good form and holds solid claims. Fine sequence continued with a close call over C&D last week; leading claims.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +44%) Sea Legend	5 5/1(+44%)	(8) Sea Legend 5/1, Ran to form, best work late when beaten 3l off 70 here last time; effective 10/11f, acts on GS, AW; much more like it latest, so warrants respect. 0-11 for yard but made eyecatching headway when C&D second under Lauren Young 13 days ago.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -36%) Pride Of Donegal	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(3) Pride Of Donegal 15/2, Won by 1 1/4l off a mark of 75 over 12f at Kempton on his penultimate start. Stopped quickly when the race may have come too soon last time. Suited by 10-12f and all runs on all-weather; could bounce back. Needs to bounce back from a Kempton flop but he's interesting on the earlier evidence.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +0%) Jodhpur Blue	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(7) Jodhpur Blue 15/2, Again below maiden level when beaten 8 1/4l in a 7f handicap at Southwell last time. Effective from 7-9f and acts on all-weather but needs to find more to feature. 7f probably a negative back on his markedly higher AW mark latest; not entirely dismissed.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -25%) Almekarem	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Almekarem 15/2, Small improvement, best work late when beaten 2l off 78 over 8f at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 8/9f, acts on AW; down 1lb and has a chance over longer trip. Strong finish last time and dam's side of the pedigree offer major encouragement for 1m2f.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +29%) Humble Spark	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Humble Spark 10/1, No impact and a little below his best when beaten 7 1/4l in a 2m handicap here last time. Ridden by a leading course jockey and usually held up. Effective over 12-16f and suited by all-weather surfaces. Takes a significant drop in trip. Down the field in 2m Northumberland Vase here in June latest; four wins at Newcastle.
4	4 (4) (33/1 +18%) Pleasant Man	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) Pleasant Man 33/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 11-14f and well suited by all-weather surfaces. His mark continues to ease. Well held lately and he's unraced over this short a trip since February 2024.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Newcastle (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Antrim shed his maiden tag at the fourth time of asking over C&D in October and is an interesting contender on his handicap/stable debut. However, SEA LEGEND bounced back to form when second over track and trip on his latest outing and might capitalise on his career-low rating. The in-form Jez Bomb is another to keep a close eye on.

Almekarem could pose a major threat but JEZ BOMB so nearly grabbed a win off today's mark over C&D last Thursday.

5	5 (5) (8/11 +0%) Lake Como	0.727273 8/11(+0%)	(5) Lake Como 8/11, Found a lot of trouble and would probably have won when second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Lingfield latest; effective 7f, acts on AW; ex-Aidan O'Brien, looks capable of a lot better. Big step forward when running-on second in 7f Lingfield maiden latest; player.
2	2 (2) (5/2 +0%) Euston Hall	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Euston Hall 5/2, Tired near line but promising debut when 4l fourth in a novice at Kempton; trainer in form; sprint-bred but should stay 7f, acts on AW; quite nice type, should do better. Promising debut Kempton fourth; this Dark Angel colt is well in the mix with more to come.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +25%) Victory Ace	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Victory Ace 9/1, Not best placed wide and found little when beaten 4l in a Lingfield novice last time; a big, still unfurnished colt who may prove best over 6f. Not best drawn when seventh at Lingfield for Roger Varian; needs considering for new yard.
8	8 (8) (66/1 +47%) What Fools Believe	66 66/1(+47%)	(8) What Fools Believe 66/1, Too far back off a slow pace and given an easy time when beaten 9l in a Newcastle novice on debut; bred to be a miler and open to notable improvement. Beat one in C&D novice on her first run; she needs to take a big step forward.
1	1 (1) (100/1 +50%) Crown Inn To Win	100 100/1(+50%)	(1) Crown Inn To Win 100/1, Stepped back from a modest debut when down the field in a 6f novice at Southwell last time; should be effective between 6f and 8f and looks the type to do better in handicaps. Has cut little ice in a 1m Southwell maiden and 6f novice there this autumn.
6	6 (6) (100/1 +50%) Petes Diamond	100 100/1(+50%)	(6) Petes Diamond 100/1, Outpaced and beaten 8l in a 5f novice at Southwell on debut; speedily bred but may be suited by around 7f; significant improvement required. Never-dangerous debut seventh in 5f Southwell novice..

LTO Selection:

15:45 Newcastle (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LAKE COMO showed a big chunk of improvement to fill the runner-up spot over this trip at Lingfield last month and the son of St Mark's Basilica looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Euston Hall was sent off favourite for his debut and could only manage fourth at Kempton, but he might be worth another chance. King's English cost 75,000 euros as a yearling and warrants a market check.

It could pay to side with George Boughey's LAKE COMO who advanced his form when second at Lingfield last time and can go one better now

2	2 (2) (1/1 +50%) Jackabi	1 1/1(+50%)	(2) Jackabi 1/1, Ran to form tried in a hood when beaten 2l off 70 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; hood removed but runs from the same mark. Raised his game when a keeping-on second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f); chance..
4	4 (4) (9/4 +44%) Senor Campanaro	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(4) Senor Campanaro 9/4, Below form up in trip when beaten 9 1/2l in a nursery over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; drop in trip may help. Failed to make impact on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f; fifth) in October; gelded..
3	3 (3) (10/3 +39%) Smartanck	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(3) Smartanck 10/3, Scored by 2l off 60 at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Bit wide and hung but still ran to form last time; effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather; remains capable of better tried in a tongue-tie. Wolverhampton winner (from 6lb lower); first start for this trainer (12,000gns purchase)..
5	5 (5) (15/2 +32%) Panthere Noir	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(5) Panthere Noir 15/2, Too keen, below form when beaten 8l in a nursery over 8f here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on G; bounce back needed down in trip. Disappointed last twice, including over 1m here latest; the least likely in this contest..

LTO Selection:

16:15 Newcastle (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JACKABI is taken to build on last month's encouraging effort. Despite pulling hard, the son of Hello Youmzain did well to finish second at Wolverhampton and he could take advantage of an unchanged mark. Senor Campanaro also has a solid chance with improvement likely having been gelded since last in action, while Smartanck debuts for his new trainer and could shape well.

The tentative suggestion is the newly tongue-tied SMARTANCK on his first start for Antony Brittain. Jackabi rates next best.

Hinted at a revival with C&D fourth latest; this three-time C&D scorer is a likely player.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +30%) Midnight Lion	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(2) Midnight Lion 7/2, Returned to form when showing a good attitude to win a handicap by a head off 81 here last time; top course jockey booked; likes to make the running and effective 7–10f; acts on any surface except fast ground. Course specialist who notched seventh success here 17 days ago; not taken lightly.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +0%) Mr Mistoffelees	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(6) Mr Mistoffelees 11/2, Scored by 1/2l off 74 over 8f here two starts ago; ran to form despite a slow start last time; effective 8–10f performer on a sound surface; should remain competitive. Blinkered and back to best of late, Southwell second latest; merits serious consideration.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +7%) Al Muqdad	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(5) Al Muqdad 13/2, Scored by 5 1/2l off 70 at Wolverhampton penultimate start; below form but bit better than result tried in visor last time; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; visor off and could bounce back. Scored at Wolver before drawn wide when eighth there 11 days ago; still needs considering.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +10%) Benacre	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Benacre 9/1, Below form when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather; retains fair recent form despite that effort. C&D scorer who was in good form until beating one over C&D 17 days ago; can bounce back.
11	11 (11) (9/1 +10%) Judicature	9 9/1(+10%)	(11) Judicature 9/1, Bit below form when beaten 3 1/4l off 75 over 6f here last time; trainer in good form; effective at 6f on all-weather; goes back up in grade. Scored here in August; best effort since when fifth here 13 days ago; he's no forlorn hope.
3	3 (3) (11/1 +0%) Qazaq	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Qazaq 11/1, Never threatened when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; probably best at 7f and suited by a sound surface; needs to settle and break better. Largely below par for Roger Varian in 2025 and seventh over C&D for new yard 17 days ago.
4	4 (4) (11/1 +8%) Havana Blue	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Havana Blue 11/1, Best run since summer, following wind operation when beaten 2 1/4l off 83 here last time; effective 7f, acts on S, GF, AW; could do better still, second run after wind operation. Back on track after wind op when fifth over C&D 17 days ago; one for the shortlist.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Tolstoy	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Tolstoy 12/1, Below form on deep ground when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recently; suited by 7/8f and acts on all-weather; mark easing and could return to better form. On a losing sequence and only 12th in 7f Doncaster handicap 27 days ago; bit to prove now.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +14%) Monotone	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Monotone 12/1, No show from off the pace on stable debut when down the field in a York handicap; usually held up and returning from a break; effective 5–7f performer who acts on soft and good; has had a wind operation and remains unproven on all-weather. Failed to beat rival on yard debut at York in July; since had breathing surgery.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +0%) Blazing Son	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Blazing Son 14/1, Won by a neck off 74 here three starts back; fluffed the start and below form last time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; may bounce back returned to this surface. Run best ignored (poorly drawn) at Doncaster last month; possibilities for this C&D winner.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Newcastle (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A competitive event and just a tentative vote is for MR MISTOFFELEES, who went in here two starts ago and almost followed up at Southwell last time. Only beaten half a length into second on that occasion, another bold showing looks assured. Chances can be made for several others but C&D winners Midnight Lion and Eldrickjones are the pick of them.

Lots with chances but MR MISTOFFELEES posted a fine second at Southwell last time and this strong traveller edges the vote back at 7f

Effective at 6f/7f on all-weather; stiff 6f may suit. Good third at Southwell in August; she's not ruled out off the same mark after a break.

Should be effective at 6f but needs to show more on all-weather handicap debut. Cut little ice in three novices in summer; since gelded and more needed on nursery debut.

Top course jockey booked and tongue-tie applied for the first time; could do better back up to 6f. Beat one in 5f nursery here 13 days ago; tongue-tie is reached for now with a bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Newcastle (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BRAVE TRAVELLER produced his best effort so far when making his nursery debut here 11 days ago and he's well worth another chance with the promise of more to come. King Victorious is the main danger as he boasts a similar profile to the selection and performed well for the silver medal at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago. Sunniva is noted too.

George Boughey's KING VICTORIOUS improved for the fitting of a hood when a fast-finishing second at Wolverhampton and can go one better

Triple Polytrack winner (6f-7f); big revival needed on his first start for this trainer..

LTO Selection:

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

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

C&D winner Spun To Gold is highly progressive and is of obvious interest coming in here chasing a four-timer. He only won narrowly last time out, though, and might struggle to successfully concede weight to TEARDROPS, who was mightily impressive when scoring over the track and trip nine days ago. It may also be worth keeping an eye on Superior Council.

If the improving TEARDROPS can perform to a similar level to last week's win, then he can defy his penalty.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Newcastle (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The runner-up at Southwell on his last couple of starts, True Promise debuts for his new trainer with solid claims. Dandy Dinmont is usually thereabouts at this level and found only one too good here last time, but it could be the turn of BRAZILIAN BELLE once again. Michael Dods' sprinter finished a creditable fourth in a tougher contest over C&D last month and the runner-up has since franked that form by winning.

Marginal preference is for DANDY DINMONT, for whom the fitting of headgear may give him the edge.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Newcastle (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Orbital Chime looks likely to feature once again, having gone close at this track prior to winning over 6f at Southwell. However, DARK KESTREL finished a close fourth over C&D last week, despite a tardy start, and Antony Brittain's charge could make a bold bid only 3lb higher than when successful here in October. Castan makes more appeal than Darlo Pride of the remainder.

Preference is for ORBITAL CHIME (nap), who has shown he acts here and is the one obvious improver in the field.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Newcastle (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AISLING OSCAR bids for a hat-trick of course victories. Joshua Brown's 5lb allowance negates a penalty, and the progressive four-year-old will likely launch another strong challenge having narrowly beaten Concert Boy over a mile here three days ago. The latter looks sure to be thereabouts once again off an unchanged mark, while Pit Boss has placed at the track on his last three starts and could make his presence felt.

Aisling Oscar and CONCERT BOY had a good battle here on Tuesday but the latter may be able to turn the tables back at this trip.

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.
