16:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Joe Fanning got a good tune out of Great Colaci when landing a classified stakes here 10 days ago and the Gillian Boanas-trained gelding cannot be ruled out back in a handicap of a lowly rating. However, this is more demanding and, with that in mind, LITTLE TED shades the vote. The selection is effective on Tapeta and, off just 1lb above his last winning turf mark, he looks worth chancing. Bobby Shaftoe and Isle of Wolves are also considered.

A few with chances but BUSBY hinted at a revival with a recent C&D third and gets the vote off a 1 lb lower mark now. Isle of Wolves arrives on a long losing sequence but is weighted to have a big say, while in-form pair Great Colaci and Absolute Dream need factoring in too.

This can go to ISLE OF WOLVES who is lower in the weights than when placed in his last three attempts over C&D.

(3) Pallas Lord 15/8, 3-time C&D winner who also bagged 9-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 7 days ago. Can race off a 1 lb lower mark here so holds obvious claims in his hat-trick bid.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick chasing Pallas Lord is in the form of his life and has to be of interest now he reunited with Jason Hart, who guided the gelding to success over this C&D on his penultimate start. However, POP FAVORITE was well on top when beating him here last month and, 1lb better off at the weights, he's taken to confirm the form. Odd Socks Havana and Jems Bond can also get competitive.

Hat-trick seeking PALLAS LORD is impossible to ignore as he is able to race off a 1 lb lower mark than when successful here a week ago. Odd Socks Havana chased home Donald Whillans' 6-y-o there and again looks booked for second ahead of multiple course scorers Jems Bond and Pop Favorite.

Odd Socks Havana can go well again but PALLAS LORD has a good chance again providing his busy spell doesn't catch up with him.

(2) Desert Master 17/2, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip will be in his favour and likely to be on the premises.

Modest form in 3 runs at 6f/7f; handicaps more likely but lots to find dropped to 5f.

(1) Zachary 5/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Good second of 6 in handicap (13/8) at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's the one to beat.
Both wins on Polytrack but has run well over C&D; back to form latest after a quiet spell.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ZACHARY did himself no favours by rearing at the start at Kempton last time and that second-placed effort can be marked up as a result. Notably a well-supported favourite that day, it's safe to assume the Charlie Johnston-trained gelding still has plenty to offer and is worth another chance. Desert Master is unexposed on the all-weather and warrants closer inspection on just his second start since being gelded. Smooth Silesie is also respected.

The suggestion is DESERT MASTER, who has slipped to an attractive mark and shaped well on his first start since being gelded when fourth in a 6f Southwell handicap, leaving the impression that this return to the minimum trip would be just the ticket. Zachary hit the crossbar at Kempton recently and he won't go down without a fight, while Smooth Silesie can claim minor honours.

Jungle Dance would be respected if turning out under a penalty but SMOOTH SILESIE also appeals as a filly with more to offer.

Azure Angel

9
9/1(-300%)
(2) Azure Angel 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 9/4). 7-month absence to overcome but 3 lb rise almost certainly underestimates her and she's in good hands to make further progress.
3-3 on the AW; market should indicate how ready she is on return from 226 days off.

The Caltonian

(4) The Caltonian 5/1, Four-time course winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 7/2) 16 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.
Excellent run of form came to a halt here (7f) last time; has a bit to prove now.

Solray

1.375

(7) Solray 11/8, Promising individual. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 73 days ago, well on top finish. Remains open to improvement.
2-3 over C&D late last year; likely there is still plenty more to come from him.

Mondammej

(6) Mondammej 11/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Thirty-two runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Opposable.
Talented but hugely frustrating; losing run now up to 32 which makes him hard to recommend.

3lb higher than when beating a couple of these over C&D last time; big run likely.

Four wins in 2022 and 1-1 on AW; makes stable debut after 137 days off; market can guide.

C&D winner; should be suited by return to this trip on stable debut, but others stronger.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The relatively unexposed SOLRAY posted an authoritative victory over C&D when last seen in December, making it two wins from three starts at this track, and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop Jane Chapple-Hyam's charge going in again. The Caltonian has improved beyond all recognition this winter and he rates as one for the shortlist, while Azure Angel won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests over 6f at Chelmsford last July.

SOLRAY looked a sprinter going places when scoring in decisive fashion over C&D in December and, with the promise of better to come, this 7 lb higher mark may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Provided she is fit enough to do herself justice following a seven-month break, the unexposed Azure Angel will likely emerge as the main danger ahead of Lethal Nymph and Mighty Power.

The vote goes to three-time C&D winner MIGHTY POWER who is in receipt of upwards of 7lb from his seven rivals.

19:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Bluestone made late headway into fifth after being slowly away over 7f at Wolverhampton in December and, stepping up in trip with that experience under his belt, he should be able to make his presence felt for the in-form Charlie Johnston team. That said, It may pay to side with well-bred newcomer NO RETREAT to get off the mark at the first time of asking as he bids to repay some of his 1,200,000-euro price tag. Fellow debutant Superfluidity warrants respect and any positivity for him in the market should be noted.

Roger Varian's Siyouni colt NO RETREAT comes with a hefty sales tag and holds a Group 1 entry so is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Kevin Ryan's form choice Sisyphean. George Boughey saddles two of interest in the shape of Native King and Superfluidity and they need considering too in an intriguing novice.

The choice is SISYPHEAN who sets a useful standard judged on his 2yo turf form and is taken to make a successful reappearance.

19:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ATLANTIC HEART posted a gallant effort when finishing fourth over C&D in blinkers earlier this month and, with the headgear retained here, she could be worth siding with in what looks a competitive affair. Noble Captain shaped as though a drop in trip would suit when weakening into third over 6f here last week and he may give the selection most to think about, while Street Life can make the frame if returning to the form which saw him land a similar C&D event on his penultimate start.

NOBLE CAPTAIN has been in good form since the turn of the year and, having shaped as though the return to the minimum trip would be in his favour when third over 6f in a similar event here last week, he looks the way to go. Atlantic Heart and Street Life rate the main dangers.

The vote goes to ATLANTIC HEART (nap) who has run well behind Bonito Cavalo the last twice. He drops to this level for the first time.

20:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ROCKLEY POINT was second in a similar event over 5f at Chelmsford last week and it would be no surprise to see the veteran go one better here. That said, Sir Benedict was not disgraced in handicap company over C&D last time and should not be underestimated, while Joshua R and Sherdil are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

MUTABAAHY would have gone close with a clear run here last time and is given a chance to build on that promise. Sir Benedict and Rockley Point can give him most to do.

The choice is SIR BENEDICT who is the only one of these whose BHA rating is bang on the race ceiling.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

STRICTLY DREAMING had plenty in hand when winning over an extended mile at Wolverhampton on Saturday and Ian Williams' filly merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. Marcello Si has won two of his last three starts and has to be of interest as a result, while Inexplicable and Mr Coco Bean are the pick of the remainder.

STRICTLY DREAMING had plenty to spare at Wolverhampton on Saturday and could prove a tough nut to crack if coping with the quick turnaround. Sparkling Spirit, Marcello Si, a dual course winner last month, and Inexplicable can give her most to think about.

The vote goes to SPARKLING SPIRIT, placed in both starts over C&D and beaten just a neck off this mark at Southwell last Thursday.

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.
