13:49 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Those with experience do not set a lofty standard, so it may pay to take a chance with MIRACULOUS. There is plenty to like about Roger Varian's son of Too Darn Hot and connections may be disappointed if he couldn't play a hand in a race like this first time up. Ardaddy should strip fitter for his recent debut fourth over 7f here and he could make his presence felt easing in trip, while Tsarinas Song is respected most of the remainder.

The well-bred MIRACULOUS represents leading connections, so is fancied to make a winning debut in a thin-looking contest. Tsarinas Song has shown ability in 2 outings to date and promises to be suited by the drop to 6f, with Memardee taken to complete the placings on her return to novice company.

The drop in trip looks likely to prompt improvement from TSARINAS SONG and Ardaddy, preferred in that order.

(11) Life On The Rocks 12/1, Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win at Windsor in August. 6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Others more appealing.
Four wins on turf this summer but he's been well held back on AW in last four runs.

Not easy to predict and she's finished last at Southwell in last two runs; down the list.

14:24 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

URBAN ROAD arrives on the back of a couple of unlucky efforts in defeat over C&D, most recently when faring best of those held up on Saturday. With a stronger pace to aim looking likely, this could be the day to catch him. Ever Hopefull didn't cut much ice in her qualifying runs but she made no mistake when scoring over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on her second handicap start recently. She looks a danger off 3lb higher, while Alpine Sierra is also noted.

ALPINE SIERRA would surely have gone close to following up his C&D victory with a clear run here last week and can gain compensation. Ever Hopefull and Sonnerie Power rate the principal dangers.

A competitive race in which the vote goes to the unexposed EVER HOPEFULL, who won over C&D 18 days ago and is open to more progress.

7/1(+0%)
(3) Dreams Adozen 7/1, Last 2 victories have come at Chester, the latest in June. 8/1, respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 12 days ago. Yet to prove herself quite as effective on all-weather but holds place claims nonetheless.
0-7 in this sphere but is nicely weighted off current mark.

(4) Hedonista 10/3, Course winner. 22/1, step back in right direction when second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 12 days ago. Leading player if able to back that up.
Should remain competitive provided latest effort is backed up.

Cello

2.25
9/4(-29%)
(2) Cello 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. 33/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 18 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly up in trip. Expected to be bang there.
Ran encouragingly last time while shaping as if worth a go beyond 1m4f.

Something

(5) Something 5/2, Dual winner here in October. 9/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has a fine track record and should be in the mix again.
Good record over middle distances here; stamina doubt at this new trip.
1
5th (1) Fleurman (7/1 +30%)
Fleurman

7
7/1(+30%)
(1) Fleurman 7/1, C&D winner. Looked rusty when fifth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 27 days ago. On an interesting mark if back to his best but recent profile is underwhelming.
Not solid on 2024 form but this belated return to Newcastle may suit.

2-2 over C&D but needs to show he retains ability.

14:59 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Something was far from disgraced when runner-up over 1m2f here last time and is of interest off the same mark, although this hike up in trip does ask a question of him. With that in mind, DREAMS ADOZEN edges preference. She caught the eye when fourth over 1m6f at Wolverhampton recently and, stepping up in trip off 1lb lower, the five-year-old gets the tentative vote. The unexposed Cello is also noteworthy.

CELLO should prove well suited by the step up to a staying trip and Andrew Balding's lightly-raced gelding is fancied to build on his encouraging effort at Southwell and notch a second career success. Hedonista got right back on track on her second outing after a wind op last time and can pose the biggest threat, whilst Something has a fine record at Newcastle and can't be discounted upped in trip.

Lightly raced CELLO looks open to progress upped in distance and is first choice ahead of Hedonista.

The Caltonian

9/1(+64%)
(9) The Caltonian 9/1, Four-time course winner, scoring twice here in January 2024. After 9 weeks off, step back in right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap (16/1) over C&D 23 days ago. This is tougher but not ruled out at this venue.
Didn't get a clear run at it here last month but little wiggle room off his current mark.

We Never Stop

3.5
7/2(+22%)
(8) We Never Stop 7/2, Having been gelded/fitted with blinkers, made winning all-weather debut at Southwell (6.1f) in November. Another good effort when second of 4 in conditions stakes (6/4) at the same C&D 18 days ago and he's a major player.
Improved for AW/blinkers the last twice; looks ahead of the handicapper; solid contender.

Albasheer

4/1(-14%)
(1) Albasheer 4/1, Successful twice here in 2024, including this race, and scored at Ascot in July. Not discredited at a higher level last 2 starts, 5¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Night Raider in listed race (12/1) at this C&D 46 days ago. Respected.
Won this race last year; lots of solid efforts since & likely to be in the shake up again.

(3) Malc 12/1, Useful at 2 yrs, notably runner-up in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. After a couple of lesser efforts in 2024, back on track when second in handicap at this course (5f, 9/1) 40 days ago. Task is now to build on latest run.
Good 2nd on AW debut here (5f) in November; return to 6f no issue; still on dangerous mark.

Rohaan

13/2(+46%)
(7) Rohaan 13/2, Useful handicapper nowadays but without a victory in 2024, eighth of 13 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 23 days ago. However, he lurks on a dangerous mark with blinkers now reached for.
2024 was his first year without a win but he retains ability; new headgear; lowly mark.
10
6th (10) Secret Guest (9/2 +55%)
Secret Guest

(10) Secret Guest 9/2, Latest win over C&D in February 2024. Placed on several occasions since, just failing having met trouble when second of 13 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Can give another good account.
Banging at the door since a wind op last summer; conditions to suit; set to go well again.

Huge chance on 2023 form but 2024 campaign was underwhelming; capable but risky.

Not easily recommended on recent evidence but there are grounds for expecting better today.

Better than ever when winning 6f handicaps on last two starts; should remain competitive.

Fire Demon

8.5

Progressive last winter, including C&D; looked to need recent return; still low mileage.

15:34 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

MALC operated at a high level for most of last year and seemed to appreciate a drop in class when second over 5f here last time out. With that being his all-weather debut, there could be improvement to come and he can regain the winning thread back over 6f. The recent Southwell runner-up We Never Stop looks best placed to chase him home, although the hat-trick-seeking Amazonian Dream is another to consider, along with Secret Guest.

WE NEVER STOP has shown improved form switched to all-weather on his last 2 starts, only narrowly denied by one dropping in class at Southwell on his latest outing, so he is taken to resume winning ways back in a handicap. Albasheer was succesful in this race last year and is feared most, while Amazonian Dream can go well in his hat-trick bid.

We Never Stop isn't opposed lightly but MALC showed he could be a force in good AW sprints when second here in November.

(6) Apiarist 3/1, Making all-weather debut, gained a first handicap success when landing 11-runner contest (6/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Travelled strongly through the race last time and he could still have more to offer.
Suited by the switch to AW in C&D contest last month, posting a career-best performance.

Two creditable efforts since returned to AW but still seeking first win beyond 7f.

Ran creditably upped to 1m at Chelmsford most recently; this is a stiffer test.

16:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Unbeaten in three career outings, this will be the biggest test of QAZAQ's career thus far but the son of Kingman may well be up to the challenge. A determined winner on his first go at 1m last time out at Southwell, Roger Varian's charge is likely to have too much for Apiarist, who got up late to score over C&D last month. A promising fifth when keeping on from off the pace at Chelmsford last time out, Blue Prince completes the shortlist.

QAZAQ made it 3 wins from 3 starts when scoring on handicap debut at Southwell in November, idling final 1f but holding off a fellow improver, and he can continue his progression to add to his tally. Popmaster arrives on the back of a good third at listed level and isn't taken lightly, with Apiarist also considered after his C&D success last time.

Preference is for APIARIST, who looks open to further improvement in this sphere. Unbeaten Qazaq is fearest most.

(4) Blackjack 11/1, C&D winner. 25/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap back here 15 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

16:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

An unlucky third when not getting a clear run on two separate occasions over C&D last time out, TOO MUCH hinted that another win at this track may be in the offing. Off the same mark the five-year-old merits plenty of respect and she gets the vote ahead of recent C&D winner Bellagio Man, and Kats Bob, who has been runner-up on each of his last two outings. Others to note include Profit Street, Showtime Mahomes and Wee Fat Mac.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap, with DICKO THE LEGEND earning the vote. He bounced back from a couple of below par efforts when a solid fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his latest start and, having acquitted himself well on the all-weather last winter, he is interesting back on a synthetic surface. Showtime Mahomes didn't get the rub of the green when third over C&D on Saturday and he is greatly respected, while Too Much and Wee Fat Mac also enter calculations.

A competitive race of its type. SHOWTIME MAHOMES was a touch unfortunate here on Saturday and can get the better of Bellagio Man.

17:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF THE JUNGLE produced a pleasing effort to take the silver medal home at Southwell four days ago. With Lewis Chalkley claiming a handy 7lb this time around, he could prove very hard to beat. Stone Of Destiny showed a lot more when making the frame at the same venue on his latest outing and has to be respected off a 2lb lower mark, while Doon The Glen is another to consider.

KING OF THE JUNGLE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when runner-up at Southwell last time and is fancied to make amends off an unchanged mark here. Fellow C&D winner Papa Don't Preach rates the main danger, with Show Me Show Me and Doon The Glen also in the mix.

Show Me Show Me can go well but KING OF THE JUNGLE (nap) is preferred on the back of a good Southwell run on Saturday.

17:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Piperstown shed his maiden tag at Southwell on his most recent start and holds an obvious chance off a 3lb higher rating. However, a chance can be taken on ORIENTAL PRINCE, who struck by a length over C&D last time and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 4lb for that performance. The son of Orientor can complete a double, while Rogue De Vega could grab a place.

ORIENTAL PRINCE looked well suited by the drop to 5f when getting off the mark in a first-time hood over C&D recently and, with better still to come, Jim Goldie's 4-y-o can follow up. Piperstown also opened his account last month and he should be in the mix on the back of a small rise, with Jamie Bond and Rogue de Vega taken to fight out minor honours.

This is a tight call between the two recent winners in Piperstown and ORIENTAL PRINCE but the vote goes to the Jim Goldie's 4yo.

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.
