13:52 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

James Owen's yard continues in fine form and another bold bid is expected from COME ON JOHN, who finished a close second for the third consecutive outing when denied by a head over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week. He is 2lb higher but drops back to a winning distance and looks a safer option than the returning Fifty Sent, although the latter is a C&D winner and has every chance on the form of his narrow defeat at Redcar when last seen in May. Inspiring Speeches has slipped to a tempting mark and is interesting now stepped up in trip.

COME ON JOHN is in excellent form and, for all he found one too good again last time, he was clear of the remainder, and this doesn't look as strong, so he gets the nod ahead of Jujubella, who should benefit from the step up in trip. Fifty Sent is another one to consider.

Top of the list is triple Tapeta winner COME ON JOHN, who had a near-miss at Wolverhampton last week. Jujubella is feared most.

14:27 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A big run from Come On John in the previous race here would boost the claims of BUSBY, who beat that one by three-quarters of a length when getting back in the winner's enclosure at Southwell. The application of a first-time visor was given as the reason for that improved performance and if the headgear has the same effect, Philip Kirby's gelding would have sound double claims as the second-highest rated in this classified stakes. Bond Spirit and Rubellite have been running well in defeat and can both have their say again.

BUSBY benefited from a first-time visor when scoring at Southwell recently and, if the headgear continues to have a positive effect, he's capable of following up. Bond Spirit looks the main threat and Lednikov also arrives on the back of a reasonable showing.

The vote goes to 11-time AW winner BUSBY, who turned things around after a break when making all at Southwell 13 days ago.

15:02 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

After not getting home over 7f, NOBLE CONSORT relished the drop in trip when making all with plenty to spare over C&D last month. Julie Camacho's four-year-old has gone up 5lb for his first victory from 12 attempts, but could kick on for that confidence booster and remains unexposed over sprint distances. Spartan Fighter has slipped back to the mark he won off over track and trip in October so must be feared. Art Fantastique has also come back down to a feasible rating and is worth a second look, along with Lahab.

NOBLE CONSORT was better than ever when scoring over C&D last time and he's unexposed as a sprinter so he's worth a chance to follow up despite a tricky draw. Doon The Glen is considered on the back of a good effort at Southwell, while McCauley's Tavern could up his game with a visor fitted.

Preference is for NOBLE CONSORT (nap), who returned to sprinting with an all-the-way win over C&D two weeks ago.

15:32 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

YOSHIMI finished off his race well after being slowly away on his latest start at Wolverhampton and the eight-year-old, who was dropped 1lb for that effort, has every chance of returning to winning ways. Tomorrow Day has won three of her last five outings at this track and is likely to enter the reckoning, while Jimmy Knocker could be sharper for the experience gained when fourth on his handicap debut at Southwell.

A chance is taken on lightly-raced 4-y-o JIMMY KNOCKER building on a good handicap debut at Southwell a fortnight ago. Tomorrow Day's excellent course record of late makes him a must for the shortlist, while Yoshimi is a more potent force over 7f but could still play a prominent role. Oriental Prince would also enter the reckoning if turning out again after Wednesday.

In-form ORIENTAL PRINCE is unpenalised for his 5f win here yesterday and he can take the return to 6f in his stride.

16:05 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GENERAL ADMISSION arguably sets the standard based on his debut second at Kempton in October. A half-brother to a recent Grade 2 winner in the US, Andrew Balding's colt is expected to take a decent step forward and gets a confident vote to shed the maiden tag. Kevin Ryan's debutants tend to improve plenty from the experience and Lord Capulet may be another to do similar following his Redcar fifth in November. First Ambition is the first foal of star mare Laurens to reach the track and any market confidence should be heeded.

Andrew Balding's GENERAL ADMISSION shaped well enough on his debut to think he can win a race like this. Great Dream and Lord Capulet hinted at promise on their turf debuts in the autumn and rate likely improvers. Karl Burke's First Ambition is a newcomer to monitor closely in the betting.

Andrew Balding's GENERAL ADMISSION showed plenty of promise with his debut second at Kempton and sets the standard on that form.

16:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL OF ANTRIM has taken his form to a whole new level on his recent C&D victories, scoring in style before defying an 8lb rise to complete a double with ease last week. Jack Morland's gelding is 6lb well-in under a penalty and is likely to prove tough to beat if in a similar vein of form. Ravensbourne has been knocking on the door at Lingfield recently and commands respect, while Finn Ironside and Streak Lightning can fight it out for the minor honours.

ANGEL OF ANTRIM has dominated a couple of similar races recently and should prove hard to beat again. Impeach, Streak Lightning and Finn Ironside can fight it out for minor honours.

The hat-trick beckons for ANGEL OF ANTRIM who has gained two barnstorming wins over C&D of late and is 6lb well in under a penalty.

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

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

SANAT progressed after undergoing wind surgery when with Roger Varian and created a favourable impression when getting off the mark on his final start for that yard in a 6f handicap at Nottingham last August. Now gelded and under the care of the reigning all-weather champion trainer Mick Appleby, he could have plenty more to offer reverting to the all-weather over 5f for the first time. Dual C&D winner Rodborough lurks on a dangerous mark and is feared most, ahead of fellow course winner Water Of Leith.

SANAT was steadily progressive during the summer, making his final start for Roger Varian a winning one at Nottingham in August. He appeals as the type to do better still for his new connections and can make a bold bid to defy a 3 lb higher mark back from a break. Castan and Water of Leith may emerge as the chief threats.

Slight preference is for dual C&D winner CASTAN who is well handicapped and ran creditably in a decent C&D race last time.

17:40 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ALEXANDER JAMES was on a mark of 88 the last time he won on the all-weather and although not the force of old, there is not much strength in depth here and he could be worth chancing in this modest classified stakes. Cherry King is open to more progression than the rest over this trip and rates the chief threat. Previous C&D winner Inexplicable is another with solid claims at this level.

An open-looking contest with the narrow vote in favour of 4-y-o CHERRY KING. He has a race of this nature within his grasp judged on the pick of his efforts on all-weather and could be the way to go on his first crack at this level. Calcutta Dream and Alexander James are others to consider, with Making A Move another well worthy of a second look.

The unexposed CHERRY KING looks the one to beat here following his good fourth on his latest start at Chelmsford.

18:10 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ELETTARIA ran well to finish third in a deeper race over this C&D on her penultimate start and might only need to match that sort of level to be a major player here. As is the case with the selection, Yaahobby is yet to win over a mile but won't need to raise his game by much in this company. Martin's Brig and Pop Favorite are both track-and-trip winners to consider.

YAAHOBBY looked unlucky not to finish closer on his first crack at this trip over C&D 2 starts back and, having run creditably when third over 7f subsequently, he could be the answer back at 1m. Elettaria is a lead threat, with Cloch Nua and Martin's Brig others in the mix.

Preference is for ELETTARIA, who ran plenty of good races last year including a close call over C&D on her penultimate run.

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.
