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

FLEUR DE MER showed some rustiness when finishing third in this grade on her return to action at Kempton last month, as she was slowly away before encountering traffic problems towards the finish. Hugo Palmer's four-year-old should take a step forward from that reappearance run and may prove tough to beat off an unchanged mark. Bringbackmemories has been thereabouts on each of his last four starts (one win) on the all-weather, including in class 4 events the last twice, and he has to be respected. Well Planted warrants a market check on his return to the Flat.

BOBBY SHAFTOE is no stranger to quick turnarounds and, if allowed to take his chance after registering a fifth C&D success on Saturday, he will surely prove hard to beat. The one taken to follow the selection home is Bringbackmemories, while Fleur de Mer performed with credit back from a break at Kempton is also accorded respect.

An open race in which BRINGBACKMEMORIES gets the vote ahead of Fleur De Mer and Bobby Shaftoe.

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

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

Lunar Rocks produced the best performance of her career when filling the runner-up spot over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time, and she could get into contention off a 1lb higher rating on her first start for a new stable. However, the vote goes to CHIEFMAN, who has been gelded since showing promise on his last two outings and he takes a step up in trip on his handicap debut. Archie Watson's three-year-old could progress to defy his opening mark of 66, while Nobodys Girl sports first-time cheekpieces and she completes the shortlist.

All things considered, LITTLE ROSE did well to finish as close as she did when fourth on her recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton. The Dubawi filly is probably capable of a good deal better than her current mark implies and she gets the nod ahead of Chiefman, who is of strong interest now handicapping off what looks a fair opening mark. Lunar Rocks is likely to be on the premises, while Little Venice needs a second look now upped in trip.

The vote goes to BRADMAN, who has a record of 41122423 in cheekpieces and was only narrowly denied here on his penultimate run.

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

Westernesse makes his return to the fray after he was last seen hitting the frame in this grade at York last June and the betting could have all the clues on whether he is ready to go on his first start back off the same mark. However, preference is for ASGARD'S CAPTAIN, who secured a two-length victory over C&D earlier in the month, which means he has improved 16lb since joining the Dylan Cunha yard. The son of Make Believe could continue his upward curve, while Umberto and Cusack are others to watch out for.

WESTERNESSE was a very respectable third on his first run over this trip at York last summer and, if ready to roll following a nine-month absence, he could be the answer. The in-form Asgard's Captain is a much-respected main danger, while Umberto has the form to play a leading role and both Cusack and Can't Stop Now make each-way appeal.

It's hard to get away from ASGARD'S CAPTAIN (nap), who made it five wins from his last eight starts when forging clear here last time.

18:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A 42,000gns daughter of Dark Angel, Lady Dorchester stands out on paper, but the application of a tongue-tie on her racecourse debut tempers enthusiasm slightly, especially at forecast short odds. Instead, it may pay to side with KUWAITYA, who already has entries for some notable races later in the season and the daughter of the speedy Soldier's Call could get off the mark at the first time of asking for her in-form stable. Go On Rosie also represents a yard who have been amongst the winners and she completes the shortlist.

Dominic Ffrench Davis did well with his early-season 2-y-os in 2023 so LADY DORCHESTER gets the nod, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Alice Haynes is another who usually has a few precocious types so Kuwaitya is put up as the danger before any betting clues are known.

The market should be highly informative but at this stage the vote goes to LADY DORCHESTER, who looks the part on paper.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Frontrunner SAISONS D'OR finished second behind a well-handicapped rival on his penultimate start, before filling the same position over C&D earlier this month, and Jedd O'Keeffe's gelding can gain a well deserved victory this time around. Pallas Lord has been a money-spinner for connections this winter, winning four times, and off just 3lb higher than his last successful mark, the C&D winner commands attention. Crypto Quest just failed to get up over 6f here most recently and he is respected with the step up in trip likely to unlock further improvement.

This is a slightly belated first attempt beyond a sprint trip for CRYPTO QUEST but he hasn't long been under the care of Gemma Tutty and the strength of his finish when a close second here last time suggests the longer distance should be within range. In-form pair Saisons d'Or and Pallas Lord may give him most to do.

Preference is for SAISONS D'OR, who has been knocking on the door over C&D in his last two runs and should make another bold bid.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The largely consistent RATAFIA was just denied a hat-trick when finishing second over C&D in November and, returning off a 4lb higher mark, he gets the tentative vote to go one place better in what looks a competitive affair. Water Of Leith races off the same mark as when finishing an good third here on Friday and commands respect, while Spartan Fighter arrives on the back of making all over 7f at Southwell last month but a 4lb rise demands more of him.

WATER OF LEITH has returned with 2 good placed efforts in recent weeks and might prove the answer to the second division of this 7f handicap. Ratafia was in fine form when last seen at the end of 2023 and heads the dangers along with recent course scorer Martin's Brig. Last year's winner Code Purple is one to note in the betting having dropped to a favourable mark.

If picking up where he left off last year then RATAFIA looks worth keeping on the right side of. He goes well here and may find more.

The key to this race may be the recent clash at Southwell between STALLONE (second) and Madame Fenella (third), where only a head separated the pair at the finish. It is the former who is taken to uphold that form, having registered a second C&D victory in January and he clearly likes it here. Fellow track-and-trip winner Birkenhead is another to consider as he's slipped to a fair mark, while others to note include Doctor Mozart, Mehmo and Tantalus.

Tricky stuff with STALLONE getting the vote in the hope he gets a smarter start than when second at Southwell last time. Beneficiary, Doctor Mozart and Madame Fenella also make the shortlist.

Stallone is likely to go well again but perhaps this will be the day that BIRKENHEAD takes advantage of a drop in the weights.

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

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

Not beaten far here on his most recent start here and a comfortable winner over C&D before that, NOBLE CAPTAIN looks to have been found an excellent opportunity in this amateur jockeys' handicap. Similar comments apply to Absolute Dream, who ended a long losing streak when getting up late over 7f at Southwell, while Eldeyaar has plenty to build on after a strong runner-up effort last time out.

There is a worry the drop back to 6f may catch out ABSOLUTE DREAM but he remains better than this grade judged on his win at Southwell a fortnight ago and is worth backing to follow up. Marie's Jewel and Noble Captain are feared.

Preference is for ELDEYAAR, who had a close call at Southwell last Wednesday and is a big player if he can repeat that form.

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

Course form can count for plenty in a contest of this nature and CATHERINE CHROI is a track-and-trip winner, while she arrives on the back of a taking classified stakes success at Southwell last week. The excellent form of her stable is another plus and she is taken to defy a 5lb penalty on her return to a handicap. Awesome Spirit didn't get the clearest of runs when returning from wind surgery at Chelmsford and could fare better today, while Dandys Gold has been there or thereabouts on both of her last two starts here and cannot be ruled out.

CATHERINE CHROI has a good record in her 2 spells for Iain Jardine, 3 of her 4 wins having come in the 7 outings she's had for a trainer that clearly has the key to her, and she's taken to follow up Thursday's Southwell victory under a penalty. Awesome Spirit will win soon for Mick Appleby and is a big player. Global Humor completes the shortlist.

This can go to the resurgent CATHERINE CHROI, who had plenty in hand when landing a classified event 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.
