18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it seems that 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL and 2.75/1 (1) APPIER are the strongest contenders for the race. 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL has won at the course and distance before and is in good form with two wins in his last three starts. 2.75/1 (1) APPIER has also won at the course and distance and has had five wins in 2022, including one at the course off a lower mark. He also had a creditable third-place finish in his most recent race despite having to pick his way through the field. 3/1 (4) WOLF OF OXSHOTT and 3.5/1 (2) CITIZEN GENERAL may also have a chance if they can improve on their most recent performances. The other three horses, 10/1 (5) HEATHERDOWN HERO, 18/1 (3) GOLD ARCH, and Temperamental sort may not be as strong contenders based on their recent form.

APPIER ran with a fair amount of credit when third on his return from a break at Pontefract and the four-year-old, a C&D winner in September off a 3lb lower mark, may have further improvement to come. Wolf Of Oxshott commands plenty of respect based on his head second at Wolverhampton last month, while Bristol Hill arrives in excellent form having won two of his last three outings.

BRISTOL HILL has been in fine form operating from his much-reduced mark in recent weeks, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Wolverhampton 17 days ago and he holds sound claims of coming out on top again. Pontefract eye-catcher Appier and Wolf of Oxshott are others to consider.

In a tricky race that could become tactical, the progressive C&D winner APPIER is taken to beat Wolf Of Oxshott.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided in the summary, 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA and 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE appear to be the most promising options for success in the upcoming race. 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA returns to the favorable surface of the all-weather track and is well handicapped, while 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE has a previous win over the course and distance and could bounce back from a poor performance. However, it is important to note that any predictions are subject to factors such as track and weather conditions, jockey performance, and unforeseen circumstances during the race.

A line can be put through WE STILL BELIEVE's latest effort here due to him finishing lame and the five-year-old is better judged on his C&D success the time before. A return to that kind of form may see him bounce back in a contest lacking depth on paper. Oscar Doodle arrives with something to prove after a below-par display at this track in January, but the four-year-old has been freshened up since and may enter calculations along with Coconut Bay, who is of interest back on the all-weather.

WE STILL BELIEVE opened his account for the year over C&D in March, and with his latest effort easily excused (finished lame), Daragh Bourke's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread. Oscar Doodle needs to put a below-par effort behind him, but he may emerge as the main danger after a break, with Lord Torranaga rounding off the shortlist.

Dual course winner OSCAR DOODLE is taken to bounce back after a break. Coconut Bay is next best.

19:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS and 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED are the most likely contenders for doing well. 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS is a newcomer with lots of potential based on its breeding, while 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED has already had a promising performance over a similar distance at the same course. The other entries, 3.33/1 (1) BOLDLY and 80/1 (4) SEA GIRT, are also newcomers but are less favored based on the preferences of their jockeys and their breeding. 80/1 (5) EVA ROSIE, on the other hand, has shown modest efforts and may be better suited for handicaps.

John and Thady Gosden saddle two interesting newcomers in Boldly, a full-brother to Our Anchorage who placed in a Group 3 as a juvenile for Aidan O'Brien, and Inquiring Minds, whose dam was a Group 3 winner over 1m6f. Preference of the pair goes to the latter, but the experience of LASER GUIDED's two outings to date, along with the application of a tongue-tie, may be enough for him to get off the mark at the third attempt. He wasn't disgraced in finishing sixth on debut to a potential Group performer in Like A Tiger at Kempton and shaped as though a step up in trip would aid his cause when runner-up here in January.

Newcomer INQUIRING MINDS ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Stablemate and fellow newcomer Boldly also boasts good credentials but Laser Guided, who stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up over a mile here in January, is feared most now faced with a stiffer test.

John Gosden has introduced some smart newcomers here over the years so INQUIRING MINDS is selected to make a winning debut for the yard

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (8) PROFITAR RULES seems like the most likely contender as it won its last race and is only 2lb higher. 4/1 (1) AIHAWAWI also has improved form and has been a runner-up in its last two starts, so it could also be a strong competitor. 4/1 (6) MY ROXANNE and Goblet of Fire have both won before but are not as consistent as the top two choices. The others have not shown impressive recent form and may not be likely to win.

MY ROXANNE was handed an unlikely first career victory when getting up on the line to get the better of the well-fancied Concorde at Chelmsford last time out. Despite the bizarre nature of the closing stages, the three-year-old arrives here on the same mark and may well go close again. Aihawawi has been knocking on the door of late and rates the most immediate danger, while Indication Rocket looks best of the rest.

PROFITAR RULES had a bit up his sleeve when accounting for Aihawawi at this course just under 3 weeks ago, and with this step back up to 1m holding no fears, Tom Dascombe's charge is fancied to confirm those placings with that rival once again. My Roxanne was a fortunate winner at Chelmsford recently and she looks best of the remainder.

A tight looking affair in which a trio are closely matched. The vote goes to the recent (fortunate) Chelmsford winner MY ROXANNE.

20:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It is likely that 0.11/1 (1) COVEY Ready will do well in the upcoming race, as the summary describes the horse as impossible to oppose and having recently won a maiden race at Newmarket.

This looks like the perfect opportunity for the John & Thady Gosden-trained COVEY to record a second career victory after emphatically justifying favouritism at Newmarket last time out. The son of Frankel is somewhat unlucky to not have his an unbeaten record still intact, having bumped into an improving rival on his racecourse debut, and he gets the nod. Keeponbelieving showed glimpses of promise when third at Newcastle on her latest outing and may claim minor money, while Dancing Cloud can follow them home.

This looks a simple opportunity for COVEY to add to his Newmarket victory before going on to tougher tests. Keeponbelieving gets the nod for the forecast.

The recent Newmarket scorer COVEY possesses a bright future and, in all likelihood, will prove himself to be a cut above these rivals.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (7) EXCEED seems like the most likely candidate to do well as they have been a runner-up twice, including at the same track as this race, and have only received a 2 lb rise in weight. They are also described as a

EXCEED has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and a 2lb raised mark from his latest run on turf looks unlikely to stop him having a say in proceedings here. He was only narrowly denied over this trip at Southwell on his penultimate start and must be of interest if anywhere near that form. Debydinks took a big step forward when finishing in second at Wolverhampton last time out and is feared, while Cheyenne Nation is also open to improvement dropping in trip.

It's probably best to forgive CHEYENNE NATION for his below par display at Redcar last month and he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his reappearance second at Thirsk, provided he takes to this surface. Exceed and Debydinks both found just one too good last time out and the former, who has had fewer chances than Keith Dalgleish's charge, is feared most.

Nigel Tinkler's EXCEED, a commendable second in a valuable Class 6 handicap at Bath recently, is preferred to Debydinks.

21:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1.63/1 (6) SPIRIT OF BOWLAND has the best chance of doing well based on the information provided. The horse has won its last two starts, is a course winner, and has two wins from three runs this year. The summary also mentions that the 4lb rise in weight probably underestimates the horse, suggesting it has more to give and could potentially secure a hat-trick of wins.

A marginal drop in trip following a good second at Wolverhampton in March looks set to suit previous C&D winner ODD SOCKS HAVANA and he can bounce back to that form here. He is rated 5lb above his last winning mark, though, and the hat-trick seeking Spirit Of Bowland can give the selection plenty to think about. Masham Moor has filled the runner-up spot in two of his latest three outings, including behind the selection on his third-last run, and completes the shortlist.

SPIRIT OF BOWLAND scored with far more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest at Southwell 18 days ago and a 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent this 4-y-o from completing the hat-trick. Odd Socks Havana and Masham Moor have both been holding their form well in recent months and are likely to emerge as the main dangers. Our Dickie is also in with an each-way shout.

The in-form course winner SPIRIT OF BOWLAND (nap) is taken to complete a hat-trick by beating Odd Socks Havana and Rum Runner.

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.
