13:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

NALA THE LIONESS must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort on debut over C&D earlier in the month. Henry Brooke taking over in the saddle is a big plus, and she can uphold form with Sholokhova (fourth) from that contest, as well as seeing off Silent Auction, who improved from first to second start with a decent effort at Fontwell. Not Now Nathaniel looks the pick of Donald McCain's pair and she should be monitored for market support.

NALA THE LIONESS was a warm order in the betting when runner-up over C&D and she should improve for the experience, so she's well worth a chance to open her account at the second attempt. Donald McCain-trained newcomers Not Now Nathaniel and Lady Buttercup are dangers.

Inexperience appeared to cost NALA THE LIONESS here 24 days ago and she's taken to go one better. Not Now Nathaniel is second pick.

Narrowly denied on his handicap debut here earlier in the month, GLORY HIGHTS should be well suited by going back up in trip and William Maggs 3lb claim can help him get off the mark at the sixth time of asking. Secret Secret has strong claims on the form of his penultimate success at Kelso, while Lewa House has dropped to 2lb below his last winning mark. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Emotional Roller, Scalloway Bay and Theirshegoes.

EMOTIONAL ROLLER made a good start to his handicap career when third over 2½m at Wetherby on Boxing Day and there could be more to come now stepping up in trip so he's the suggestion. Ushuaia Dancer looks an interesting one for handicaps and is second choice ahead of Lewa House and Lincoln Burrows, who were second/third in the same race at Ayr at the turn of the year.

The suggestion is SCALLOWAY BAY, who has begun to show some improvement and can break his duck, now upped in trip.

A taking winner over C&D last time out, SIX ONE NINE looks the one to beat off a 4lb higher mark and he can overturn form with Contre Ordre (first) from Sedgefield last November. Micky Hammond's charge has disappointed since and it may be that Beat The Edge gives the selection the most to think, having been runner-up on his last two outings. Dakota Moirette is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

SIX ONE NINE has C&D form figures of 12241 and is taken to follow up last month's victory here. Limerick Leader and Contre Ordre may emerge as a couple of the dangers.

In a race riddled with risks, bSIX ONE NINE\p should go well in a race he won two years ago .

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

FLORIDA DREAMS faced a stiff test in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree on Boxing Day and is hard to oppose back at this less prestigious level. With a current rating of 129, he sets a decent standard and, with just a 7lb penalty to contend with for last month's win at Ayr, he's a prime contender in an otherwise ordinary novice hurdle. From The Clouds is feared most on his hurdling bow, with Rules debutant Moon Over Mexico rated a noteworthy alternative.

This step up in trip appears to be just what FLORIDA DREAMS needs and he is taken to resume winning ways having failed to land a blow in Grade 1 company last time. Tigga Time shaped well in a Catterick bumper and he is marginally preferred to Hazy Glen and point winner Moon Over Mexico for forecast purposes.

Unless something makes considerable improvement it is hard to see them being good enough to beat FLORIDA DREAMS, who can win again.

READYSTEADYBEAU had six and a half lengths to spare over the runner-up, Marown, when he bounded home at Ayr last month and is hard to oppose, despite the imposition of a 7lb higher mark. Marown holds a feasible chance of getting closer to the selection on the revised terms, but French import Jar Du Desert has been cut some slack by the handicapper and may be more of a threat on just his third start for the Nick Kent yard.

READYSTEADYBEAU looked well served by the return to positive tactics (notably jumped better) when running out a convincing winner at Ayr last month and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold follow-up bid. Fenland Tiger continues to improve and he's feared, with Brayhill and Marown other in-form sorts to consider.

A good handicap chase. ENQARDE has become hard to predict but he'd be a danger to all if on one of his going days in new cheekpieces.

ATLANTIC DANCER romped home a series qualifier at Kelso last month and an 8lb higher mark might not stop her from registering back-to-back successes. Ip Up was 10 lengths away in second in that aforementioned race and has work to do to reverse the form. With that in mind, Golden Glance rates a bigger threat after a much improved effort when tried with a first-time tongue-strap applied when she was a good second off 5lb lower at Aintree's Christmas fixture latest. She can go well with the application retained.

IP UP couldn't cope with Atlantic Dancer at Kelso but an 8 lb pull, combined with this drop back in trip and forecast better ground, could help tilt the scales in her favour this time. Atlantic Dancer will of course be dangerous if again allowed a soft lead but a bigger threat on this occasion may be posed by Golden Glance, who put in a good shift when runner-up at Aintree last month and she probably has more to offer.

Atlantic Dancer came 10l clear of IP UP (nap) at Kelso but the selection was stretched by that longer trip on heavy ground.
