13:03 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having shown very little on her debut for Jim Goldie, DANDY MAGIC was a surprise winner of a handicap over 6f here in November. However, the way she travelled through that race was very encouraging and she may have plenty more to offer in this sphere. A 7lb higher mark obviously makes this tougher and opens the door for the likes of Oakley Boy and Star Chorus to pounce if she shows any weakness.

OAKLEY BOY has shown improved form fitted with a visor on his last 2 starts, bumping into one who scored again next time at Wolverhampton on his latest outing, so he is taken to resume winning ways returned to 5f. Dandy Magic left behind her stable debut effort with a ready success here last time and is respected, with Star Chorus also one to note.

Assuming she copes with the drop back to 5f, DANDY MAGIC (nap) holds particularly strong claims. Oakley Boy is second choice.

13:33 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Neither HUMBLE SPARK (winner) nor Percy Willis (fifth) got a clear run when they encountered each other in a similar event over 1m2f here just after Christmas. That said, the former ran on strongly when the gaps appeared and appeals bidding to back up that hard-fought success off just 2lb higher. The class-dropping Illucidate still has low milage and, having show some improvement back on the Flat at Kempton last month, can give the selection the most to think about this time.

HUMBLE SPARK showed a superb turn of foot to get himself out of trouble here 11 days ago and remains of strong interest up 2 lb in what is likely to be another tactical affair. Percy Willis was a good second here last week and is the obvious threat.

Judged on recent form and other factors, the strongest contenders are PERCY WILLIS (narrowly preferred) and Humble Spark.

14:03 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

FIREBLADE was a well-backed favourite when he made his Tapeta debut over C&D last month. Although the son of Frankel came up short when third that day, it was still an encouraging enough display to suggest he could be hard to beat. Currently rated 88, Northern Ruler sets a fair standard and is an obvious threat on these terms, despite stepping up in trip. Similar comments apply to the penalised Royal Approval, who was a game winner over 1m2f here last month.

NORTHERN RULER wasn't seen to best effect when backed as if defeat was out of the question at Lingfield and has to be worth another chance stepped up in trip for his in-form new yard. Royal Approval and Fireblade can follow him home.

Another chance is given to NORTHERN RULER. The chief dangers are Royal Approval and Fireblade.

14:33 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

PARISIAC bounced back to form when second over C&D 11 days ago and the six-year-old merits plenty of respect off just a 1lb higher mark here. That said, the veteran Mondammej is an obvious threat to the selection given his form in recent months, while Dark Kestrel edges out Our Absent Friends and Strong Johnson to be best of the rest.

MONDAMMEJ shaped as if still in good form when second here last time and remains of interest back at his best trip. His stablemate Dark Kestrel is a potential threat if getting the breaks, while Al Farabi should have more to offer for his current yard.

Being unexposed over 5f, AL FARABI could well build on his latest effort. Mondammej is second choice.

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

Only a short head separated Sandret (winner) and Powerful Response (second) over C&D recently and both have to be respected once again. That said, preference is for KALIKAPOUR, who beat a subsequent winner at Southwell last month and a 3lb rise for that success may underestimated Roger Fell's gelding. Annandale should have no problem with this drop in trip and is another to consider.

KALIKAPOUR ended his losing run when winning at Southwell under this rider last month and a 3 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. There was little between Sandret and Powerful Response when first and second over C&D 11 days ago and they head the dangers.

The suggestion is PARISH COUNCILLOR, ahead of Burglar's Dream. There's little between Sandret and Powerful Response.

15:33 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking King's School scored a shade cosily over C&D 11 days ago and a 3lb nudge up in the ratings is unlikely to prevent the four-year-old from giving another good account. That said, this looks slightly more competitive and last month's track-and-trip runner-up ALREET CHA may prove to be slightly better handicapped. Red Maids finished ahead of the selection that day, but her subsequent exploits now see her racing off an 8lb higher mark.

KING'S SCHOOL is steadily progressive so there's every chance he can complete the hat-trick. His old adversaries Red Maids and William Dewhirst, who both had their winning runs ended by the selection, head the dangers.

Several runners tie in with each other on recent C&D form. KING'S SCHOOL is preferred, ahead of William Dewhirst.

16:03 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having looked an unlucky loser when denied a clear run and finishing a close-up second over a mile here recently, compensation could be in the offing for WYVERN. The Patrick Morris-trained gelding ticks plenty of the right boxes off just a 1lb higher mark and he is taken to repel chief threat Rebecca's Girl. The five-year-old has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since her C&D victory in December and she isn't taken lightly. Drafted and Lahab also warrant a second look.

REBECCA'S GIRL did best of those ridden close up on her most recent outing over C&D last month and appeals as the type to win more races this winter on that evidence, so she earns the vote. Lahab and Wyvern are a couple of others that have been shaping up well lately and warrant plenty of respect in what looks a good race for the grade.

An open race in which DRAFTED gets the vote ahead of Wyvern and Rebecca's Girl.
