5
1st (5) Joolianoss (7/4 +50%)
Joolianoss

1.75
7/4(+50%)
(5) Joolianoss 7/4, Lightly-raced winner. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Neither this 4 lb higher mark nor the step up in trip are at all off-putting.
Lightly raced 4yo with a progressive profile and likely to stay this longer distance.
7
2nd (7) Rainwater (9/1 -50%)
Rainwater

9
9/1(-50%)
(7) Rainwater 9/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 24 days ago. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for on this occasion.
9.4f winner in November and holding his form well; firmly in calculations.
4
3rd (4) Urban Road (4/1 +11%)
Urban Road

4
4/1(+11%)
(4) Urban Road 4/1, Four-time course winner, the latest gained in December. Good second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 10 days ago, running on. Likely to be in the thick of things once again.
Goes well here and ran another sound race in defeat over C&D ten days ago.
8
4th (8) Annandale (12/1 -140%)
Annandale

12
12/1(-140%)
(8) Annandale 12/1, 11/2, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, pushed out. Remains feasibly treated up 4 lb and it's not hard to envisage another bold show from this 7-y-o.
Copes well with all sorts of trips and had a bit in hand over this one here 13 days ago.
1
5th (1) Phone Tag (5/1 -11%)
Phone Tag

5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Phone Tag 5/1, Won 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. 2 lb rise fine but this looks tougher and he will therefore need to raise his game in order to follow up.
The hood has had an immediate effect in finishing second here and one better at Chelmsford.
9
6th (9) Rock Armour (11/2 +61%)
Rock Armour

5.5
11/2(+61%)
(9) Rock Armour 11/2, 11/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago and, chances are, he will again find a few too good.
0-9 and had no excuses when behind some of these here 24 days ago.
3
7th (3) Jewel Maker (18/1 -177%)
Jewel Maker

18
18/1(-177%)
(3) Jewel Maker 18/1, Four-time course winner, the latest gained in November. 9/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap back here over a mile 31 days ago and the return to this trip will be no bad thing.
Found all trouble going when bidding for a fifth course win a month ago; player.
6
8th (6) Orange N Blue (50/1 +0%)
Orange N Blue

50
50/1(+0%)
(6) Orange N Blue 50/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 20 days ago and he looks set for another struggle.
Has form claims but well beaten in both runs for this yard after a lengthy absence.
2
9th (2) Young Fire (50/1 -257%)
Young Fire

50
50/1(-257%)
(2) Young Fire 50/1, Course winner. 12/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago. Capable of a bold show off this mark if he puts his best foot forward.
Hasn't been that threatening in his recent starts and others look more likely.

16:03 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PHONE TAG landed a similar class 5 handicap at Chelmsford earlier in the month and he can follow up off just 2lb higher. Seemingly more focused with a hood applied on his last two starts, the selection also has nothing to fear from reverting to Tapeta having finished second over C&D on his penultimate start. Urban Road won this race off 3lb lower 12 months ago and commands respect after going close over C&D off this rating 10 days ago. Rainwater and last-time-out winner Annandale complete the shortlist.

JOOLIANOSS and Annandale both arrive here on the back of victories and can be expected to play leading roles once again. The latter is not passed over at all lightly but Joolianoss has low mileage as far as 4-y-os go and he gets the nod on the back of his breakthough success at Southwell where he shaped as though this stiffer test would be no bad thing. Others to consider in this competitive handicap include Jewel Maker, Urban Road and Young Fire.

Phone Tag (second choice) and Rainwater are closely matched and in the mix but JOOLIANOSS is a lightly raced improver.

8
1st (8) Asadjumeirah (8/1 +33%)
Asadjumeirah

8
8/1(+33%)
(8) Asadjumeirah 8/1, C&D winner. Forty-nine runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in minor event (12/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 18 days ago, never nearer. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive on balance.
Losing run now stands at 49; best to look elsewhere.
3
2nd (3) Bungle Bay (6/1 -200%)
Bungle Bay

6
6/1(-200%)
(3) Bungle Bay 6/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) 36 days ago, just holding on. Expected to be bang there nudged up just 2 lb.
Five wins at Wolverhampton; might get away with the drop back in trip on this stiff track.
7
3rd (7) Noble Captain (9/1 +10%)
Noble Captain

9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Noble Captain 9/1, C&D winner. Good fifth of 12 in minor event (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Lurking on a fair mark and he's worth a second look.
2lb lower than for the latest of two C&D wins early last year; each-way claims.
10
4th (10) Secret Daay (28/1 -12%)
Secret Daay

28
28/1(-12%)
(10) Secret Daay 28/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. 33/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 69 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
Recent efforts have been moderate and he is now 0-28; hard to fancy.
2
5th (2) Raft Up (11/4 +66%)
Raft Up

2.75
11/4(+66%)
(2) Raft Up 11/4, C&D winner. 11/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, not clear run. Not without each-way hope.
Sole win came over C&D and not beaten far at Southwell last time when meeting trouble.
9
6th (9) Mr Stanley (8/1 -7%)
Mr Stanley

8
8/1(-7%)
(9) Mr Stanley 8/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 19 days ago. Can give a good account but may again prove vulnerable from a win point of view.
Now 0-25 which leaves him with plenty to prove.
11
7th (11) Sacred Melody (80/1 -220%)
Sacred Melody

80
80/1(-220%)
(11) Sacred Melody 80/1, Last of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 11 days ago and she's hard to recommend on that evidence.
No closer than fifth in 12 starts; makes little appeal.
4
8th (4) She'sashambles (5/1 -25%)
She'sashambles

5
5/1(-25%)
(4) She'sashambles 5/1, Good third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 18/1) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Should be on the premises once more.
Only narrowly beaten into third of ten at Southwell this month; should be involved.
5
9th (5) Urban Dandy (6/1 -33%)
Urban Dandy

6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Urban Dandy 6/1, Course winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor back on and he has to enter calculations.
Losing run up to 23 and dropping back to 6f is not sure to help.
1
10th (1) Tees Harriet (50/1 -52%)
Tees Harriet

50
50/1(-52%)
(1) Tees Harriet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (33/1). Off 112 days and she's hard to warm to.
Still unexposed but returns from another four months off with plenty to prove.

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

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

SHE'SASHAMBLES has put together a series of respectable enough efforts to suggest she can finally break her duck on the all-weather in this modest handicap. Noble Captain is closely matched with Phillip Makin's filly based on an encounter over C&D last month and can be a thorn in her side if the low draw isn't a hindrance. From stall 11, Bungle Bay, who won over 7f at Wolverhampton last month, has fared better on that score and can also figure if dropping back a furlong isn't an issue.

BUNGLE BAY just held on over 7.2f at Wolverhampton last time and, with this drop back in trip a potentially good move, the 6-y-o is taken to follow up off just a 2 lb higher mark. She'sashambles and Urban Dandy both performed with credit last time and they can fill the places.

Several have become hard to win with, including SHE'SASHAMBLES but a reproduction of her close last time would give her a solid chance.

1st (9) Tathmeen (14/1 +13%)
Tathmeen

14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Tathmeen 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 20/1) 17 days ago.
Eight wins here, the latest off 3lb higher, but he is hard to predict these days.
5
2nd (5) Hurstwood (17/2 +47%)
Hurstwood

8.5
17/2(+47%)
(5) Hurstwood 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
C&D winner as a 3yo; 3lb below last winning mark but modest of late.
1
3rd (1) Giselles Izzy (14/1 -17%)
Giselles Izzy

14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Giselles Izzy 14/1, Three wins from 19 runs last year. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 10 days ago, weakening final 1f having again gone freely. Refitting of a hood may enable her to settle better and she's been cut further slack by the assessor.
1-22 on the AW but it's been a while since she raced down at this level; each-way shout.
4
4th (4) Tommytwohoots (17/2 -13%)
Tommytwohoots

8.5
17/2(-13%)
(4) Tommytwohoots 17/2, Latest win at Nottingham in October. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, well positioned. Each-way possibilities with a repeat.
Runner-up over C&D five weeks ago, but is just 3-48 so wouldn't be sure to build on that.
2
5th (2) Athollblair Boy (11/1 -10%)
Athollblair Boy

11
11/1(-10%)
(2) Athollblair Boy 11/1, 9-time C&D winner. Ran best race for a while when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, no extra final 1f. Registered back-to-back victories here this time last year and this veteran campaigner is not dismissed out of hand.
11-time course winner, including this race last year off 10lb higher; hard to rule out.
6
6th (6) Kranjcar (3/1 -71%)
Kranjcar

3
3/1(-71%)
(6) Kranjcar 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 11 in minor event (6/4) at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort after 10 weeks off. Remains with some potential at this level now his attentions switch to handicaps.
Better effort when third here 11 days ago; return to 6f may suit and he's still unexposed.
7
7th (7) Pockley (7/2 +36%)
Pockley

3.5
7/2(+36%)
(7) Pockley 7/2, 6-time course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, 10/3) 20 days ago, another slow start not helping matters. Basement mark to work from if he can put it all together.
All six wins have come here, including two over this trip; losing run of 23 is a concern.
3
8th (3) Fircombe Hall (10/3 -11%)
Fircombe Hall

3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(3) Fircombe Hall 10/3, 6-time C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 11 days ago. Expected to be in the thick of things again.
Back off the same mark as when gaining his sixth C&D success last June; major player.
8
9th (8) Too Much Too Young (33/1 +18%)
Too Much Too Young

33
33/1(+18%)
(8) Too Much Too Young 33/1, Winner at Catterick in August. 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago, going off too hard. May be sharper given that was his first start for 10 weeks but his overall record is a patchy one.
1-20; has not shown enough lately to suggest he will be doubling his tally.
10
10th (10) Zebra Star (150/1 -127%)
Zebra Star

150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Zebra Star 150/1, 150/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 71 days ago, hanging left 2f out and weakening. Blinkered for 1st time but plenty to prove.
Poor since winning at Ayr last May; blinkers go on.

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

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

A respectable second off the same mark in a similar C&D event last month, TOMMYTWOHOOTS has a decent chance of enhancing his reputation with a third career success on Tapeta. The form of that race has been well advertised by the third home winning twice since and another bold showing can be expected. The unexposed Kranjcar is notable back over 6f and is forwarded as the chief threat on just his second start in a handicap. Pockley and Fircombe Hall are others to consider.

KRANJCAR was possibly in need of the run following a 10-week break when third in a 7f Classified contest here 11 days ago and, remaining with potential on handicap debut from a low base, he could be the answer. Fircombe Hall arrives in form and he's feared, along with Pockley and veteran Athollblair Boy.

Preference is for FIRCOMBE HALL (nap), no stranger to the winners' enclosure here and back off the same mark as when last successful.

1st (6) Hartswood (9/1 +55%)
Hartswood

9
9/1(+55%)
(6) Hartswood 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in September. Creditable sixth of 11 in a handicap at this course (10.2f, 20/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and ideally needs a strong pace to aim at, which isn't guaranteed here.
C&D winner as a 4yo; only one piece of worthwhile form since last summer.

L'ennemi

33
33/1(0%)
(5) L'ennemi 33/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. but others make more appeal.
Yet to fire in handicaps since joining this yard, despite a sliding mark; cheekpieces now.
12
3rd (12) Volenti (5/1 +50%)
Volenti

5
5/1(+50%)
(12) Volenti 5/1, Fine record here over the autumn/winter, winning three times. Possible excuses for below-par efforts last twice and remains of interest in a race of this nature.
Won three times over C&D late last year and may have excuses the last twice.
1
4th (1) Time Tested (5/2 +29%)
Time Tested

2.5
5/2(+29%)
(1) Time Tested 5/2, 5/1, career best when winning a 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago, did well in circumstances considering he explored inner part of track which generally hadn't been favoured. Drops back in trip but still a leading contender under a 5 lb penalty.
Form since handicapping reads 12121; has a 5lb penalty to carry but remains unexposed.
2
5th (2) Cusack (17/2 -55%)
Cusack

8.5
17/2(-55%)
(2) Cusack 17/2, 4-time C&D winner. 7/2, won a 9-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, better placed than most and therefore not a sure thing to follow up under a 4 lb penalty.
Seven wins here; 4lb penalty for latest makes things harder but he has to be considered.
9
6th (9) Wyvern (12/1 -33%)
Wyvern

12
12/1(-33%)
(9) Wyvern 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Failed to build on second here in December when 3/1, seventh of 10 in a handicap at this course (7.1f) 13 days ago but could bounce back now racing over 1m again.
Won narrowly over C&D in November but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort last time.
11
7th (11) Parish Councillor (12/1 -50%)
Parish Councillor

12
12/1(-50%)
(11) Parish Councillor 12/1, Well-supported in market when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 13 days ago, possibly not seen to best effect at the trip. Interesting back to a mile in first-time cheekpieces, especially with positive jockey booking.
C&D winner as a 3yo but out of the frame in all nine starts since; cheekpieces go on.
8
8th (8) Miners Gamble (5/1 -67%)
Miners Gamble

5
5/1(-67%)
(8) Miners Gamble 5/1, Winner at Musselburgh in August. Shaped well after 4-month absence when very good ¾-length third of 9 to Cusack in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, having been caught further back than ideal. Should be in the mix once again.
Beaten less than a length by Cusack on return over C&D a week ago and is 4lb better off.
4
9th (4) Electric Avenue (14/1 -87%)
Electric Avenue

14
14/1(-87%)
(4) Electric Avenue 14/1, First run since leaving George Baker when tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 31 days ago (second ran well in a better race since) and much respected in bid to follow up.
4lb higher than when making a successful stable debut over C&D last month; shortlisted.
10
10th (10) Yorkstone (22/1 +27%)
Yorkstone

22
22/1(+27%)
(10) Yorkstone 22/1, Below form when 22/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 24 days ago, although not helped by blindfold being removed late. Tongue strap on for first-time but others appeal more.
Won three times in 2023 but has regressed since; tongue-tie goes on.
7
11th (7) Mariner (33/1 -32%)
Mariner

33
33/1(-32%)
(7) Mariner 33/1, A fair maiden handicapper on the Flat at up to 1¼m for Jessica Macey. Makes Flat debut for new yard wearing first-time cheekpieces following a couple of spins over hurdles and has a bit to find.
0-14 under rules; first-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.
3
12th (3) Breakwater (11/1 +31%)
Breakwater

11
11/1(+31%)
(3) Breakwater 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in novice (50/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on and may do better now handicapping.
Has shown ability in all three AW starts; still open to further progress; cheekpieces on.

17:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MINERS GAMBLE shaped well when a close-up third behind Cusack (winner) over C&D a week ago having been off the track for four months, so it would come as no surprise were Brian Ellison's charge able to reverse that form on these revised terms. The improving Time Tested, who won over 1m2f at Lingfield recently, looks to be a real threat, while Wyvern ought to relish a return to further and he is not without a chance either.

MINERS GAMBLE shaped with encouragement on his first run for 4 months when third here in a race that wasn't run to suit. He's marginally preferred to Time Tested who won over 10f last week and can still be a threat back at a mile. Electric Avenue could build on her recent win for new connections while Wyvern can bounce back having not been seen to best effect over 7 furlongs last time.

It may be worth siding with VOLENTI who won three times over C&D late last year. It's possible to make excuses for his recent defeats.

Chess Dad

3.5
7/2(+42%)
(1) Chess Dad 7/2, €75,000 yearling whose dam was an unraced half-sister to top-class 1¼m-1½m winner Ulysses. Half-brother won on debut over 6f and no surprise to see him run with credit on debut.
75,000euros yearling; nice pedigree and interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Has been gelded and immediate fitting of headgear looks ominous.

Vulnerable to anything with potential but having experience will stand him in good stead.

Broke better than on his debut when a close third at Wolverhampton; more needed.

18:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It's not a particularly lofty standard set by Pride Of Donegal and though he can be expected to be thereabouts, newcomer INSPIRED is taken to get off to the perfect start. A 300,000gns purchase, a son of Dubawi and whose dam was a Group 2 winner herself, she looks the part on paper and would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to score here. Fellow debutant City Landscape has to be of interest too, but it is a slight concern that connections already reach for a tongue-tie and blinkers.

INSPIRED is bred in the purple and she can take this on racecourse debut. Pride of Donegal looks the best of those with racecourse experience and he can hit the frame again, while newcomer Chess Dad, whose half-brother won on debut, can run with credit.

It's not hard to take a chance on INSPIRED, who cost 300,000gns and is out of a smart mare. Pride Of Donegal has experience.

(4) Final Angel 7/2, Eighth of 10 in a nursery at this course (6f, 33/1) 24 days ago when not seen to best effect. Place claims.

(6) Black Sky 14/1, 5½ lengths eighth of 12 to A Fine Claret in a handicap (20/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago but shaped better than bare result. Blinkers back on and would be interesting if market spoke in his favour.
Caught the eye here in November but twice held since; needs a resurgence back up in trip.

18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Second at Kempton in September before occupying the same position over C&D recently, PENELOPE VALENTINE has far less to prove than many of these and she is taken to go one place better now. Bantz, who was third behind the selection last time out, might be best positioned to make a challenge, while Black Sky would need to improve on what he's shown so far but a step up in trip could work the oracle.

MANTON ROAD has to be of serious interest if taking up this engagement (entered on Monday) having shown much improved form when losing the race in the stewards' room last week. Penelope Valentine is entitled to come on for her recent second here while Bantz should be respected having not enjoyed a smooth passage last time. Any money for Black Sky would be worth noting.

Another chance is given to A FINE CLARET who disappointed at Southwell four days ago having won well there the time before.

19:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BRAZILIAN ROSE arrives here on the back of a hat-trick of victories over 6f at this venue in recent weeks and the daughter of Calyx is hard to oppose off just 1lb higher than the latest of those victories on Friday. Streak Lightning may have to settle for second place once again, while Ahamoment and Bobby Joe Leg are the pick of the remainder.

BRAZILIAN ROSE completed the hat-trick with something up her sleeve at this course at the weekend and she's an obvious choice to go in again if the quick turnaround doesn't scupper her. Streak Lightning and Ahamoment are two of several others who arrive in good order.

The vote goes to AHAMOMENT who is 3lb lower than when winning a division of this race last year.

19:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In a moderate event, FRANKIES DREAM clearly sets the standard. The son of Belardo scored over 5f at Wolverhampton two starts ago and only found one too good off this mark at Lingfield most recently. That form gives him the edge over Until Dawn, who showed promise when fourth on her handicap debut earlier in the month, while Cuban Lynx completes the shortlist.

FRANKIES DREAM is improving and caught the eye with a strong finish when second at Lingfield recently, so he stands out against some weak opposition. Roselily is dropped in class and looks the chief threat, while Until Dawn could make an impression if she stays straight under pressure.

Frankies Dream is a big player but UNTIL DAWN wasn't far behind him at Wolverhampton despite lugging right throughout.

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.
