Asgard's Captain

1.375
11/8(+31%)
(4) Asgard's Captain 11/8, 4/6, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago, plenty in hand. Has excellent claims under a 5 lb penalty.
Has progressed again for his new yard this year; shortlisted under a 5lb penalty.

10
10/1(-43%)
(9) Sense Of Worth 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in December and posted a good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago, better placed than most. Can make presence felt if turning up in similar form.
Found his level again this winter and nothing wrong with his latest second; player.

Explorers Way

12
12/1(-100%)
(12) Explorers Way 12/1, Followed up last month's win in 10-runner handicap over C&D (5/1) 20 days ago, just holding on. This is tougher but still warrants respect in his hat-trick bid.
Four course wins in the last six months; this is tougher upped 4lb but enters calculations.

(1) Cusack 7/2, 6-time course winner who came unstuck in his hat-trick bid when sixth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Back up in trip.
The return here will help but he has to prove he can do it off this high a mark.

14/1(+30%)
(2) My Little Queens 14/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year but failed to come on for recent run when only tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago. Has something to prove at present.
Hard to get excited by her record on Tapeta and she's some way down the pecking order.

Urban Road

9
9/1(-157%)
(11) Urban Road 9/1, C&D winner who returned to form and was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 9 in 10f handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City 15 days ago. One to bear in mind.

80
80/1(-186%)
(10) The Vik 80/1, 11/1, ran poorly on first run since leaving A. Slattery when twelfth of 15 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy). Off 10 months. Up in trip for tapeta debut.
Off since a poor one last spring but worth a look in the market for a yard in decent nick.
8
11th (8) Emperor Caradoc (100/1 -614%)
Emperor Caradoc

100
100/1(-614%)
(8) Emperor Caradoc 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but wasn't seen to best effect when last of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 28 days ago, hampered and shuffled back under 2f out. Bred to stay this appreciably longer trip.
Not looked to see out 1m in a few tries and this is a step into the unknown stamina-wise.

Regressive and needs to improve a deal on recent efforts to take this.

17:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Asgard's Captain has progressed nicely over the last 12 months, although a 5lb penalty for Monday's triumph in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Wolverhampton means another personal best is required. With that in mind, SENSE OF WORTH, who won off 11lb higher during his time in Ireland, looks worth chancing off a highly competitive rating. The eight-year-old arrives in good form and is no back number just yet. Cusack completes the shortlist.

ASGARD'S CAPTAIN resumed winning ways with loads in hand at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the week and looks capable of following up under a penalty. Sense of Worth and hat-trick seeker Explorers Way are a couple of potential threats.

Having done nothing but progress in recent times, ASGARD'S CAPTAIN can defy the 5lb penalty. Urban Road is second choice.

18:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CAST NO SHADOW doesn't set the bar very high, but he fared better than Exponential (third) and Tees Harriet (fourth) when he was pipped by an upwardly-mobile filly in a maiden at Southwell last month. The Hugo Palmer-trained colt has to concede weight all round but with first-time cheekpieces applied, he rates the logical choice and is taken to cement his authority over his old rivals.

CAST NO SHADOW sets the standard and should be able to open his account in such a weak race. Exponential looks the main threat and the other trio haven't shown a great deal as yet.

There won't be any excuses for the standard-setting CAST NO SHADOW this time. Exponential can chase him home.

New yard has been among the winners under both codes and he's well worth a market check.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Bobby Joe Leg has form that ties in with a few of these, so cannot be dismissed given he is a reliable yardstick. However, his winning spree hit the buffers big time in a deeper race here 13 days ago and he is taken on with his well-handicapped stablemate STREAK LIGHTNING, who offers strong appeal as a dual C&D scorer off 4lb below his last winning mark. Biplane and Admiral Nelson are a couple of others worth noting in the betting.

STREAK LIGHTNING was much better than the result when fifth over C&D 4 months ago and, while he's not been seen since, he's worth taking a chance on in a race that could be run to suit. Sir Maxi is a danger back up in trip and Lope de Rueda is worth keeping in mind on his first outing for a new yard.

The vote goes to STREAK LIGHTNING (nap) who boasts a good record fresh, here and at this time of year. Admiral Nelson is next best.

19:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ELEUTHEROMANIA ran with much more encouragement when runner-up on the Lingfield turf in July. Now under the tutelage of George Boughey, she should hold every chance of finishing one place better, providing she is tuned up for this seasonal/all-weather debut. A 141-day break may have freshened up Agnes Grey, who would prove dangerous on the pick of her form, while any market support for newcomer Lakota Brave must be heeded.

Preference is for ELEUTHEROMANIA, who left her debut form well behind when second at Lingfield last summer and remains with potential for her new yard. Agnes Grey looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Lakota Brave may be the pick of the newcomers.

Upped in distance, CALDER VALLEY could well get off the mark. Second choice is Eleutheromania.

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

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

Although respected, a 5lb penalty will make life tougher for Wolverhampton scorer Gustav Graves, which edges the vote in the direction of SUGAR HILL BABE. Lisa Williamson's filly overcame a tardy beginning over C&D last month, winning well under Alex Jary, and there could be more to come. Beylerbeyi is effectively 4lb well-in, but the drop from 7f may be enough to prevent him from gaining compensation for last week's Wolverhampton near-miss.

GUSTAV GRAVES arrives in the form of his life and may be able to record his fourth success of the year. Wee Fat Mac and Beylerbeyi rate the principal dangers.

The answer might be MAHARAJAS EXPRESS, who lost out only narrowly to Gustav Graves two starts ago and is now 7lb better off.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Armoured sprung a shock to get up by half a length over C&D and he would be foolish to dismiss off only 4lb higher. However, he could come out second best to MASTERPAINTER, who showed improvement in a first-time visor when just touched off over track and trip, and he is due to go up 2lb after this. Lochnaver, who was also beaten a head into second on the same card last week, is another to consider.

MASTERPAINTER reacted well to a visor when second over C&D last time and he's handicapped to win, so he takes preference over Danielsflyer, who also arrives on the back of a solid showing. Lochnaver is also considered.

This isn't certain to be strongly run and ARMOURED came from off the pace here last time but he appeals as a horse with more to offer.

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

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

LEDGER had Child Of Lir back in third when scoring in comfortable fashion at this level over C&D last week and, considering the manner of that victory, he could prove difficult to stop in his follow-up bid. That was Child Of Lir's best effort for a while so he has to be considered. Copper Mountain makes the most appeal of the rest based on her victory at Southwell two starts ago.

This can go to COPPER MOUNTAIN, who was unsuited by the drop in trip when below par at Southwell last time and came close on her last 2 visits here. Ledger and Coligone Kate are feared most.

Lucinda Russell's LEDGER was a pretty convincing C&D winner last week and is taken to overcome his 5lb penalty.

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.
