15:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

EXPLORERS WAY returned to winning ways over C&D on his latest start and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop him from doubling up in what appears to be a more than winnable contest on paper. Gold Aura boasts a consistent level of form and is likely to be in the mix on her return to handicap company, with Rise Hall appealing most of the remainder.

EXPLORERS WAY gained his first success in excess of 1m when scoring over C&D last month and Brian Ellison's gelding looks capable of following up after a minimal rise in the weights. Masterpainter made the pdoium over 1m here last time and can go well again, with Gold Aura also worth a market check returning to handicap company.

Having shown some encouraging signs since switched to the AW, MASTERPAINTER is worth another chance over this trip.

(6) National Question 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) in August. Likely best watched unless market spoke in his favour back from 6 months off.

16:10 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SEA GIRT was only beaten a short head when second in a similar event over C&D a couple of weeks ago and the first-time application of a tongue-tie could help him to go one better here. Great Colaci also hit the crossbar when last seen at this level and he should not be discounted, while Rubellite and Wheres The Crumpet are next best.

SEA GIRT saw the trip out well as he returned to the pick of his form when runner-up over C&D 16 days ago and a repeat should see Iain Jardine's charge go close with a tongue tie now enlisted. Rubellite, Great Colaci and Wheres The Crumpet are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Less exposed than most of these, SEA GIRT was short-headed over C&D 16 days ago and can go one better in a first-time tongue-strap.

Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth here six days ago; considered.

(5) Sparkling Spirit 15/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Her consistency is hard to knock and she could well open her account from a career-low mark.

16:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FLASH THE DASH filled second place over 7f at Southwell on his most recent outing and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off the same mark here. May Remain has not been beaten far on his last couple of starts and is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to Sparkling Spirit.

SPARKLING SPIRIT is yet to taste success, but her consistency is hard to knock so Adrian Keatley's charge gets the tentative vote having dropped to a career-low mark. May Remain is another arriving in good order so he may emerge as the main danger, with Flash The Dash and Beneficiary another couple not out of things, either.

An open sprint but MAY REMAIN signalled he's ready to go in when caught only late on at Kempton last time out and he gets the verdict

17:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RIBAL can make a winning debut for new connections, with a mark of 79 suggesting that the son of Roaring Lion could prove to be a class above these rivals. That said, Jungle Charm was not disgraced on her sole previous start, finishing fourth at Windsor, and should not be underestimated, despite a 250-day break. The rest all need to improve, but Nights Over Egypt is the pick of them.

JUNGLE CHARM made a promising start when fourth in a Windsor maiden last summer and Archie Watson's Jungle Cat filly can make light of her absence here. Ribal starts out with Stuart Williams with the form to have a big say so rates the chief threat ahead of Willow Baby and Calder Valley.

With doubts over her rivals for various reasons, JUNGLE CHARM's appeal is heightened. Ribal is feared most on form.

17:45 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TWIRLER (third) had Bonaventure (fourth) four lengths behind when beaten less than a length at Lingfield and she sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 67. The daughter of Cable Bay could have more to offer and might be tough to beat. Havana Force shaped with some promise when third at Chelmsford on debut and should improve, while Duke Wellington warrants a market check on his first start.

Newcomer DUKE WELLINGTON makes plenty of appeal on paper in the context of this race and could well be up to making a winning start. Twirler shaped well at Lingfield recently and is considered the main threat ahead of Havanna Force.

Several could improve but TWIRLER has shown enough in three runs to suggest she can win a race of this nature and she gets the vote.

Will need a personal best by some way to make a winning handicap debut.

18:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Mereside Madness justified favouritism by a short head over track and trip and has only been put up 2lb, so he has to be respected. However, preference is for CHAPMAN, who responded to first-time cheekpieces when denied by a half-length at Kempton, and George Scott's gelding is fancied to shed his maiden tag at the ninth time of asking. Private Getaway completes the shortlist.

MERESIDE MADNESS arrives on the up so is fancied to make light of a 2 lb rise for his recent C&D success and go in again. Kempton runner-up Chapman is next on the list, with Private Getaway and Quick Away also in the mix in this open handicap.

Up 2lb for a battling C&D success two weeks ago, MERESIDE MADNESS may follow up. Handicap debutant Bestie could be unexposed.

18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Pepsi Cat completed a hat-trick when scoring over C&D and while she is in this sort of form, she has to be considered off a 5lb higher rating. However, she could come out second best to the John & Thady Gosden-trained COVER UP, who struck by just over a length on his third handicap start at Lingfield in November. He remains in the same grade and could be the one to beat. Henery Hawk is seeking a third consecutive track-and-trip win and is another to note under his penalty.

COVER UP showed much improved form when making a successful AW debut in fine style at Lingfield when last seen in November and is one to follow on synthetics. Thriving pair Henery Hawk and Pepsi Cat head the dangers.

The Gosden-trained 4yo COVER UP showed bundles of speed when winning on his AW debut over 6f at Lingfield and can follow up.

19:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Pallas Lord was on target over C&D from a 2lb lower mark last month and the son of Dandy Man can be expected to mount another stern challenge, having gone close subsequently. However, a chance is taken on BOSSY PARKER, who posted his best effort in a while when finishing fourth over 7f at Southwell. Eased 2lb in the ratings, Stella Barclay's charge looks extremely well treated judged on what he has previously achieved on turf. Reclaim Victory appeals most of the remainder.

PALLAS LORD has been in good form over C&D on his first 3 starts of the year, getting his head back in front on his second outing in January before running at least as well when second 17 days later. He is taken to see off the challenge of Reclaim Victory, who was only narrowly denied here last time, with Odd Socks Havana completing the shortlist.

Donald Whillans' PALLAS LORD (nap) can race off the same mark as when a good recent C&D second so is taken to resume winning ways.

19:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

POP FAVORITE landed a similar C&D event under Elisha Whittington last month and a subsequent 3lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from following up. The form of Weloof's latest Wolverhampton second was franked when the winner struck again earlier in the week, so he merits plenty of respect with that in mind. Amaysmont should not be underestimated either.

WELOOF has shaped as if his turn could be near when runner-up on his last 2 starts, conceding first run at Wolverhampton on his latest outing (the winner has scored again since), so he is taken to get back to winning ways. Pop Favorite gained a fifth C&D success 16 days ago and could be the main danger, ahead of Amaysmont.

Marginal preference in an open contests is for WELOOF who can gain a deserved win at the chief expense of C&D scorer Pop Favorite

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.
