1st (6) Prince Achille (13/2 +13%)
Prince Achille

6.5
13/2(+13%)
(6) Prince Achille 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 17 days ago, shaping as if better for the run following 5 months off. Not entirely dismissed.
May have needed his recent comeback here but will need to improve somewhat on that.

2nd (4) We Still Believe (11/1 -83%)
We Still Believe

11
11/1(-83%)
(4) We Still Believe 11/1, 3-time winner on Flat last season (twice over C&D). Made frame on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles since the turn of the year and no surprise to see him give a good account returned to this sphere.
Should be happy back on the AW minus the visor; fair claims of adding to his two C&D wins.

3rd (2) Very Classy (14/1 -65%)
Very Classy

14
14/1(-65%)
(2) Very Classy 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event (50/1) at this course (8f) 71 days ago. Longer trip ought to suit on pedigree now handicapping but would need to see market support to make her of interest.
Trainer 4-8 so far in 2024 but that's the only positive; would want to see good support.

Lochnaver

4
4/1(+20%)
(7) Lochnaver 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 17/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Merits consideration back at this more suitable trip.
Didn't have the race run to suit down to 1m here last Friday; should do much better.
5
5th (5) Isle Of Wolves (10/3 +52%)
Isle Of Wolves

3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(5) Isle Of Wolves 10/3, Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 17 days ago, no extra only late on. Should be thereabouts again for all losing run tempers enthusiasm.
Not much other pace in here and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.

6th (3) Mass Consumption (5/2 +38%)
Mass Consumption

2.5
5/2(+38%)
(3) Mass Consumption 5/2, Maiden who has got back on track equipped with a visor in recent weeks, good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 17 days ago, staying on to be nearest at the finish. Can make presence felt with mark steadily easing.
Claims on latest third but is still to win and it's unlikely he'd want a tactical affair.

7th (1) Bay Of Naples (12/1 -118%)
Bay Of Naples

12
12/1(-118%)
(1) Bay Of Naples 12/1, Ended long losing run at Leicester (10f, soft) in September and remained in form since, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 13/2) 48 days ago. Drop back in trip will hold no fears and one of the likelier players.
Wants a good test over this shorter trip but should go well again if things fall right.

Great Colaci

14/1(-17%)
(8) Great Colaci 14/1, Veteran, 9-time course winner. Latest win here in February. Seventh of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, meeting some trouble around 2f out and never dangerous. May find a few too good again.
Well held behind four of these back into handicap company latest; others are stronger.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A chance can be taken on VERY CLASSY, who showed signs of promise across her three qualifying runs last year. The daughter of Muhaarar looks to have been found a suitable opportunity now pitched into handicaps, with the step up from a mile an added positive. Bay Of Naples appeals as a live candidate having posted a number of creditable efforts recently, while Lochnaver, who is back on a competitive mark, should not be underestimated either.

Having highlighted her turn may not be far away when runner-up over C&D on her penultimate start LOCHNAVER may not have been so well served by the drop back to 1m back here 7 days ago and operating from her last winning mark, she earns the vote. Mass Consumption has got back on track equipped with a visor of late and along with Isle of Wolves, heads up the dangers.

Preference is for WE STILL BELIEVE, who has Jason Hart (5-14 for the yard) up. Lochnaver is another with claims.

Loves it here and thriving at present but upped in class and needs more in hat-trick bid.

Good efforts here the last twice but up in class today and may come up short.

Well-beaten 40-1 shot on last month's handicap debut (7f); too much to prove for now.

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

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

Athollblair Boy completed a C&D double when winning here last month and he merits respect from a 3lb raised mark, but preference is for ONE MORE DREAM. John and Sean Quinn's charge was, ultimately, a comfortable victor over 7f on Sunday having been short of room approaching the two-furlong marker. The drop in trip is expected to pose no problem and, with the promising Gianluca Sanna negating the 5lb penalty incurred for that success, he can repeat the dose. Others to note include Dandys Derriere and Westmorian.

ONE MORE DREAM resumed winning ways in cosy fashion here last week and is selected to follow up under a penalty. Secret Road won't be far away if bouncing back from a lesser effort, while Blackjack arrives in top form and must be feared, also.

Plenty of possibles but the form of WESTMORIAN's latest C&D third looks strong and he can gain a second win at Newcastle.

Blazing Son

5.5
11/2(-83%)
(5) Blazing Son 11/2, C&D winner who ran below form at Redcar when last seen in October but has gone well fresh before and can't be dismissed.
Fine record on AW and well treated on 2023 best; interesting back from a break.
7
3rd (7) Burj Malinka (10/1 +17%)
Burj Malinka

10
10/1(+17%)
(7) Burj Malinka 10/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Too free after 4 months off when only seventh of 8 over C&D 15 days ago.
Probably needed his reappearance and he's handicapped to go well; contender.
3
4th (3) Novak (2/1 +56%)
Novak

2
2/1(+56%)
(3) Novak 2/1, Course winner who again ran respectably when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 17/2) 5 days ago.
Stiff 6f should suit and he's probaby in better form than his figures suggest; shortlisted.

Thriving veteran who is 2lb well in; has first 6f run since August 2019 but not discounted.

Vixey

16/1(-167%)
(1) Vixey 16/1, 7/4, good second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Chris Fairhurst and could go well.
Progressed for C Fairhurst last year; more to come but has absence to defy on stable debut.

(8) Sound Of Iona 66/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (5f). Off 126 days.
Had a bleak 2023 but dropped 27lb in the weights; may need this reappearance.

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

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

NAZCA finished an agonising narrow second over C&D under Tommie Jakes last time out, but he is fancied to go one better from a 2lb higher mark. Bobby Joe Leg continued his rich vein of form when also occupying the runner-up berth one week ago and must be respected, while the unexposed Vixey, who starts out for a new yard on the back of a 190-day absence, can also enter the reckoning.

BLAZING SON has slipped below his last winning mark and, having run well fresh before, a chance is taken on him to bounce back to form. Nazca and likeable veteran Bobby Joe Leg are feared most.

Blazing Son has plenty to recommend him but he's back from a break and BURJ MALINKA, who has had a recent run, may be the answer.

18:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A highly encouraging second on her debut over C&D in January, ABSOLUTE STAR must hold every chance of breaking the maiden tag granted normal improvement. Another open to progress is Heavenly Fire, who shaped well first time out at Lingfield when not getting a clear run and staying on well late in the day. A costly purchase at the sales for an esteemed owner, Star Jasmine must be monitored for market support on debut.

ABSOLUTE STAR made an encouraging start to her career when second over C&D in January and is the percentage call with improvement likely, although a strong market move for well-bred newcomers Star Jasmine and/or Sneaky Girl would put a slightly different slant on things.

A chance is taken with MARITIME LADY who belied her 33-1 odds when a close fifth on her Southwell debut. The form has been franked.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between PHOENIX STAR (first) and Elzaal (second), with the former taken to uphold that form, despite being 5lb worse off at the weights for less then a length. Jessica Macey's charge rarely runs a bad race here and should have too much for the likes of Alafdhal and Southwell winner Water Of Leith.

WATER OF LEITH defied a reduced mark with something to spare at Southwell last time and he remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so a chance is taken on him to follow up. Phoenix Star and Alafdhal also arrive at the top of their game and should feature.

Elzaal can reverse recent C&D placings with Phoenix Star but ROGUE DE VEGA could have more to offer in a hood.

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a taking success over C&D last Friday, Danielsflyer is bound to be popular under a 4lb penalty, but preference instead is for the less-exposed TORCHLIGHT. An eye-catcher when making late headway on her first start for new connections at Lingfield, the daughter of Invincible Spirit should appreciate the drop in grade and going back up to a mile. Enola Grey and Lahab have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

TORCHLIGHT caught the eye from a poor position on her first outing for George Boughey and, up in trip, she's likely to take a step forward, so she takes marginal preference over Lahab, who started well for Grant Tuer here last time. Hat-trick seeker Danielsflyer is another one to consider.

This can go to HARTSWOOD, who's gone well fresh before and returns on his last winning mark. Danielsflyer is another to consider.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Three of the four recent course successes posted by Pallas Lord came over a mile and while he did scrap his way to a C&D success in an apprentice handicap on his penultimate start, this looks a deeper test for the Donald Whillans-trained gelding. With that in mind, TO THE BAR earns the nod as he bids to follow up last month's C&D success from just 2lb higher. Rated 96 at his peak, the selection is too well treated to ignore on the back of that return to form. Devasboy and Eleven Eleven complete the shortlist.

SAISONS D'OR pulled nicely clear of the rest when runner-up in the first division of a C&D handicap last month and, likely to be a bit sharper this time, he could be the answer. To The Bar landed the second division of the same handicap and he is feared most ahead of Laura's Breeze and the in-form Pallas Lord.

This can go to triple C&D winner SAISONS D'OR who remains well treated and has a great record on his second start back from an absence.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Sienna Breeze scored over 7f at Southwell 10 days ago but stepping up in trip and a 5lb penalty puts the mare at a disadvantage under top-weight this time. Therefore, LEDGER, a winner over course and distance in a classified event on his penultimate start, may be the way to go. A close third over C&D since, combining cheekpieces with a tongue-strap seems to have revitalised the selection and another big run is expected with the headgear now switched to blinkers. Marie's Jewel and Big Narstie complete the shortlist.

Though SIENNA BREEZE isn't technically well-in under a penalty, she is the most appealing all the same on the back of her recent Southwell success. The consistent Big Narstie looks nailed-on for another leading role, while this step up in trip should suit Marie's Jewel and she is also shortlisted.

A few have stamina to prove and others have risks attached, leaving this looking good for MARIE'S JEWEL (nap). Ledger is next best.

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.
