1st (5) Susiesparkle (4/1 +60%)
Susiesparkle

4
4/1(+60%)
(5) Susiesparkle 4/1, Winner at Thirsk (12f) in September. Respectable 5¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Rock Armour in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 6 days ago. That ought to have blown the cobwebs away but work to do if she's to reverse placings with that rival here.
Beaten just under 6l by Rock Armour over C&D last week, her first run since wind surgery.

2nd (2) Cusack (9/2 +36%)
Cusack

4.5
9/2(+36%)
(2) Cusack 9/2, 7-time course winner. Latest win here in January. Seventh of 9 in handicap (3/1) at this course (8f) 20 days ago, weakening final 1f. Back up in trip and he's not out of things.
1m win last month was his seventh course success but weakened quickly latest.

3rd (3) Rock Armour (1/1 +47%)
Rock Armour

1
1/1(+47%)
(3) Rock Armour 1/1, 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, readily. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and definite claims if headgear has desired effect once more.
Reacted well to blinkers when off mark over C&D last week; should go well under a penalty.

4th (7) Rampant (13/2 +13%)
Rampant

6.5
13/2(+13%)
(7) Rampant 13/2, Maiden who has run with credit both starts for new yard, refitted with cheekpieces when fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 70 days ago, running on. Respected with his rider taking off a valuable 7 lb.
Reached frame in C&D handicaps on first two runs for new yard; thereabouts again.
5th

Bird Of Play

12
12/1(+52%)
(4) Bird Of Play 12/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this course (8f) 20 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Handicapper has eased him further but has it to prove nevertheless. Up in trip.
7f winner in May 2023 but struggled in three 1m starts for this yard; up in trip.
6th

6th (6) Hot Team (28/1 +44%)
Hot Team

28
28/1(+44%)
(6) Hot Team 28/1, C&D winner who registered victories at Carlisle/Hamilton last season. Not at best in 2 starts this winter, last of 9 in a C&D handicap in December. Drop back down in class can help but others preferred in any case.
Eight turf wins but only 1-33 on AW, including last of nine over C&D latest.

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

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

Book Of Life was said to have benefitted from a step up in trip when winning over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton recently. Another bold showing is likely today, but the vote goes to ROCK ARMOUR. John Butler's charge recorded a comfortable victory over track and trip last Friday and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose. Rampant is another to consider.

BOOK OF LIFE and Rock Armour readily appeal most as a pair of last-time-out winners, the former narrowly selected to come out on top with the possibility of more to come at this sort of trip. Rampant can emerge best of the remainder.

Last-time-out winners BOOK OF LIFE and Rock Armour may dominate, with the narrow preference for the former.

(3) Howzak 14/1, Latest win over 6f here in November but out of sorts since, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
6f winner here in autumn but soundly beaten all starts since and has plenty to prove.

7/1(+7%)
(2) Lady Nunthorpe 7/1, Off the mark at Southwell (5f) in November and dispelled a couple of lesser efforts when third of 6 in handicap back at that venue 5 weeks ago. Claims with a repeat.

Sixcor

66
66/1(-371%)
(9) Sixcor 66/1, Won twice on turf last year and signed off with a very good third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in November. However, not sure to be in same form on this return from 106 days off.
All wins within 17 days of a previous run so looks one to watch on reappearance.

Doddie's Impact

4/1(+33%)
(1) Doddie's Impact 4/1, Responded well to the application of cheekpieces when resuming winning ways over C&D in December. Hasn't been able to replicate that level in 2 subsequent runs but not discounted in an open-looking handicap.
Not the most consistent but won over C&D in cheekpieces in December; below that since.

Show Me Show Me

4/1(+43%)
(7) Show Me Show Me 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, 16/1) 12 days ago, no extra final 1f. Return to the minimum trip in his favour on that evidence.

Sugar Baby

2.25
9/4(+25%)
(6) Sugar Baby 9/4, 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, well positioned. Remains with handicapping scope on pick of last year's efforts and he's fancied be in the mix again.
Notched second C&D win last week and rider's claim offsets the 3lb rise; interesting.
6th

6th (8) Desert Master (11/1 -47%)

11/1(-47%)
(8) Desert Master 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Seventh of 8 in handicap back at that venue (5f) 21 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs to step up on recent efforts if he's to feature.

8th (4) Inanna (16/1 -60%)
Inanna

16
16/1(-60%)
(4) Inanna 16/1, Twice successful at up to 6f last summer prior to good placed efforts on 2 of his last 3 starts in turf handicaps. Unseated leaving stalls on latest outing at Southwell in December and she's no forlorn hope returning from 72 days off.
Yet to win on AW but has run well on synthetics and is a player in an ordinary event.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SUGAR BABY was able to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark when hitting the target over track and trip recently and with Alec Voikhansky's claim negating the 3lb rise incurred for that success, he should go very close again. A strong challenge could come from Show Me Show Me, who ought to benefit from a drop in trip having posted a creditable third under Ethan Tindall last time out. Doddie's Impact might not be far away either.

Having eased in the weights, SUGAR BABY found things much easier down in class when resuming winning ways over C&D 12 days ago. With his rider's claim off-setting his rise in the weights, he makes obvious appeal in his follow-up bid. Doddie's Impact and Lady Nunthorpe head up the dangers in an open-looking handicap.

This can go to SUGAR BABY, who returned to winning ways over C&D last week. He's taken to beat Show Me Show Me, who is back in trip

(1) Live Aid 100/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Emmet Mullins when last of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on Flat debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy.
Ability in bumpers in Ireland but well beaten on Flat debut and best watched again.

(3) Ryans Hope 8/1, Ivawood gelding. Brother to 11f winner Ivaquestion and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Truffles and 1¼m-13f winner Estoppel. Wears blinkers. Worth monitoring in market on belated debut.
Winners in pedigree - including on AW - and one to watch in the market on debut.

(4) Absolutely Not 9/2, Fifth of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut, having hopeless task from position. Off 12 months. May well do better.

My Mate Beattie

4.5
9/2(-50%)
(6) My Mate Beattie 9/2, Fair filly. Disappointed at Southwell last time but had posted good second in Wolverhampton nursery (8.7f) previously and must enter calculations.
Looking exposed but solid claims on pick of efforts & could put a below-par run behind her.

18:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SAXONIA contested a number of warm novice events last season before posting a career-best performance on his return earlier this month. The son of Saxon Warrior ought to progress with that run under his belt and may not need much improvement to land what looks a moderate affair. My Mate Beattie sets the standard with an official rating of 71 but she's beginning to look a little vulnerable. Absolutely Not hasn't been seen since making his debut at Wolverhampton last February but she might prove best of the rest.

SAXONIA proved a different proposition when a close third over C&D earlier this month and remains low mileage. He can open his account. My Mate Beattie and Absolutely Not look the likeliest dangers.

Saxonia is a player but this can go to SOVEREIGN CLASS, who has shown ability and is capable of improvement

(2) Spartan Arrow 15/2, Respectable third of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good, 8/1) only run in 2024. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Not taken lightly at these weights if fully tuned up.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Paddy's Day has to be respected but the step up in grade is a slight concern. As a result, preference is for ELEGANT ERIN, who beat a useful rival over C&D when last seen in November and the eight-year-old is only 2lb higher here. Mon Na Slieve has dropped to a mark off which he could be competitive and Kevin Ryan's inmate may improve for a recent gelding operation, while Badri is another to note.

This is wide open but BADRI got back to winning ways at Southwell last time and remains handily weighted on past exploits so edges the vote. Paddy's Day heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent C&D victory, ahead of Mon Na Slieve, Mondammej and Dark Kestrel.

The choice is MON NA SLIEVE, who has slipped in the weights and has been gelded since his last run. He ran respectably last time.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CONCERT BOY has been in top form in recent weeks and Katie Scott's gelding sets the standard having finished second off this mark over 7f here on Saturday. Odd Socks Havana showed signs of a revival when fourth at this venue a few weeks ago and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Just Typical and Urban Dandy.

CONCERT BOY can take full advantage of Warren Fentiman's 7 lb claim and land a third course win of 2025. Odd Socks Havana knows where the winning post is over this C&D and is next on the list ahead of Urban Dandy, who went close in a classified event here last week.

With Alan Brown in tremendous form, it's worth chancing LIKEASHADOW, who has had a wind op, can return to winning ways after a break.

(2) Mereside Madness 6/4, 3-time C&D winner proved better than ever when returning from 3 months off, winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Tasever, travelled smoothly through the race. Excellent claims of making it 4 C&D victories.
Best effort and third C&D win when beating Tasever last time; claims up 4lb.

(1) Tasever 15/8, 4-time course winner (including twice last month) ran as well as ever when chasing home Mereside Madness 16 days ago. Better off at the weights and must be respected racing off the same mark as his latest conqueror.
Four course wins since November and good run behind Mereside Madness here last time.

Multiple course winner but long way behind a few of these over C&D last time.

(4) Havana Prince 10/1, Course winner was in rude health on the Flat last summer, finishing campaign with his third victory in 4 starts when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in July. Makes reappearance following 7 months off and market should offer a guide as to what's expected.
6f winner at this venue who won three of last four turf starts but not seen since July.

Turf winner last April but hasn't been at best of late and makes little appeal.

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MERESIDE MADNESS accounted for Tasever (second) when winning over C&D a couple of weeks ago and four-year-old could make it a double. The aforementioned Tasever has to be of interest, although a 2lb swing in the weights may not be enough to reverse the form. The rest all have questions to answer right now, but Havana Prince has the ability to run well if ready to go after a 214-day break.

Four of these contested the race in which MERESIDE MADNESS notched his third C&D victory earlier this month, and he travelled powerfully through the race in the style of a horse who might be capable of winning again. Tasever chased him home that day and may have to settle for second despite a pull at the weights, while Streak Lightning is better than he showed on that occasion.

This could be another C&D win for MERESIDE MADNESS, who turned in his best effort last time and holds several of these.

9/2(+68%)
(3) Kats Bob 9/2, C&D winner. Although slightly below-par when eighth of 12 in handicap (final start for Iain Jardine) over C&D 50 days ago, he could be revitalised by a switch of stables. Interesting contender could outrun his odds.
Multiple winner for Iain Jardine; looks the type who could benefit from change of scenery.

(4) Just Ten High 3/1, In fine form, two wins from last 3 starts including career best when taking 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, stronger at the finish having settled early. One for the shortlist.
Progressive sort who turned in best effort at Wolverhampton last time; claims up 3lb.

4/1(-33%)
(1) Tomorrow Day 4/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at this C&D 12 days ago and although entitled to run well again, the handicapper might just have his measure at present.
Multiple course winner who ran well over this C&D last time; likely to go well again.

(5) Captain Vallo 11/2, 3-time C&D winner ideally wants to be held up off a sound gallop. Unlucky fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, having been denied a clear run. Capable of running a big race from this mark if things drop right.
Triple C&D winner who is better than the bare facts of his last run; should go well.

(8) Hurstwood 10/1, C&D winner wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, having been denied a clear passage. Went through the race as though he is capable of going close off this mark. Respected with promising claimer now in the saddle.
Ordinary strike-rate on AW but creditable runs on last two starts and good claimer up.

Not the most consistent and yet to win a race; bit better than last run but best watched.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUST TEN HIGH did it well when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from making it three wins in his last four starts. Runner-up over C&D on his most recent start, Bellagio Man is a key player, as well as Tomorrow Day, who has not been outside the first three on each of his last four outings over track and trip.

HURSTWOOD was a close second at this venue on his penultimate run and would have gone closer with a clear passage when fifth here earlier this month. Now 3 lb lower than his last winning mark, he may be able to get his head in front with a promising claimer in the saddle. Just Ten High is in fine form and can hit the frame for the fourth race in a row, while Captain Vallo remains of interest off his current mark but needs a good gallop to be seen to best effect. Kats Bob may be a live outsider.

Kat's Bob is a player for his new team but the progressive JUST TEN HIGH (nap), who ran his best race last time, is preferred.

(7) Conquest Of Power 7/2, Confirmed promise of previous run when landing 8-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 4 days ago, readily. 5 lb penalty to carry now but must be taken seriously.
Won over 1m on Sunday; penalty less of a worry than the drop back to sprinting.

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

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

REBECCA'S GIRL is in cracking form at present and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience as she looks to complete the hat-trick after success over 7f here last Saturday. Gary Rutherford's mare is 4lb well in and can see off Asadjumeirah, who was a comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate start. Not beaten far over track and trip last time, and a capable sort on his day, King's Crown can have a say in proceedings as well.

REBECCA'S GIRL arrives at the top of her game and carries no penalty for her latest success. She can complete the hat-trick. Conquest of Power and King's Crown may give her most to think about.

The one who appeals most is the in-form REBECCA'S GIRL, who gets no penalty for winning over 7f here last time. She's effective at 6f.

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.
