15:07 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BUZZ BOX, who dead-heated over course and distance in January, is appealing back at this trip after another good effort over the minimum distance here last time out and should have more to give from just 3lb higher. Allotted a favourable draw, the selection can sit handy as events unfold and he may prove too progressive for the likes of fellow course winners Wren Officer and Cross The Tracks.

CROSS THE TRACKS was an excellent second in class 2 over C&D 6 weeks ago and can resume winning ways back down in class. In-form Wren Officer is next best ahead of the progressive Buzz Box.

Oakland Princess is better than she showed here last time but MR WONDERFUL is preferred on this stable and handicap debut.

Only fifth faced with very different conditions at Doncaster since.
Promising debut; better than the result at Doncaster last time too; interesting down to 6f.

15:42 Newcastle Maiden (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This appears to be another good piece of placement by William Haggas as the twice-raced TREASURE TIME bids to gain a first career success. The selection filled the runner-up spot in a Kempton novice when last seen and, given the third has since advertised that form with a win and now sits on a mark of 85, the son of Time Test could be a cut above the opposition. Jungle Land looked promising at Ayr 10 days ago and goes on the shortlist along with potential improver, Midnight's Dream.

JUNGLE LAND couldn't justify favouritism at Ayr on debut but he still showed plenty to finish a clear second and is fancied to go one better. Naepoint caught the eye when third at Wolverhampton in October and is a potential threat along with well-bred newcomer Storm Star.

A few potential big improvers are on show and NAZIONALE is tentatively preferred to Treasure Time and Jungle Land.

1st (1) Sea Legend (13/8 +71%)
Sea Legend

1.625
13/8(+71%)
(1) Sea Legend 13/8, Low-mileage 4-y-o who ran respectably when third of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good) on final start for J. A. Stack when last seen 12 months ago. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut and he'll be of interest if the market speaks in his favour now handicapping. Hooded 1st time.
Makes stable debut after a year off; has shown considerable promise in light Irish career.
2
2nd (2) Jean Baptiste (9/1 -38%)
Jean Baptiste

9
9/1(-38%)
(2) Jean Baptiste 9/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, very good second of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 13 days ago, headed final 1f and keeping on. That was his first start for 7 months and no surprise to see him give another good account.
On a long losing run but good second at Ayr on reappearance and also effective here.

(8) Percy Willis 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 6/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip.
His wins have come over further but he likes it here and might not be far away.

(10) Molinari 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Should be sharper given that was his first start for 7 months.
Continues to drop down the weights but this 7yo has a regressive profile.

(6) Bohemian Breeze 15/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 14/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Has dropped below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.

Sense Of Worth

22
22/1(-120%)
(9) Sense Of Worth 22/1, 12/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 33 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Return to AW rates a likely plus and no surprise to see a better showing.
In good form on Tapeta (including C&D) before last month's turf flop; can be in the mix.
7
7th (7) My Little Queens (4/1 -20%)
My Little Queens

4
4/1(-20%)
(7) My Little Queens 4/1, 6/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago, leading on bridle 2f out and drawing clear. Definite claims under a penalty if arriving here in same form.
Smooth win at Hamilton last Sunday and effective over C&D; key player under 5lb penalty.
4
8th (4) Fearless Bay (15/2 +6%)
Fearless Bay

7.5
15/2(+6%)
(4) Fearless Bay 15/2, C&D winner who confirmed he retains plenty of ability on the back of 18 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) 17 days ago, eased late having been snatched up final 1f. Possible he can build on that now.
Good AW strike-rate (including C&D win); could build upon recent positive comeback run.
3
9th (3) Roll It In Glitter (16/1 -14%)
Roll It In Glitter

(3) Roll It In Glitter 16/1, Successful on 2 of his 3 starts as a 3-y-o but looked rusty and never figured on the back of 9 months off when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 5/1) 13 days ago. This should reveal more.
2-3 during truncated campaign last season; disappointing on return but not written off.
5
10th (5) Abbey Gardens (25/1 -651%)
Abbey Gardens

25
25/1(-651%)
(5) Abbey Gardens 25/1, Built on debut promise when winning 8-runner novice here (1m) in November and not disgraced under a penalty when third at Southwell (7f) later that month. Changed hands for 22,000 gns in December and type new yard do well with in handicaps. Market should guide.
Lightly raced 1m course novice winner; has potential now up in trip on h'cap/stable debut.

16:17 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Sea Legend posted some respectable form during his time in Ireland and has to be of interest with a hood applied on stable debut for the James Fanshawe yard. Abbey Gardens has also switched yards since she was last seen and is worth a betting check for a shrewd operation. However, there are some wily characters in opposition this time, with none appealing more for a bit of value than SENSE OF WORTH, who shades preference returning to the all-weather.

MY LITTLE QUEENS capitalised on her reduced mark and justified good support in the process when readily landing an 8-runner Hamilton handicap 7 days ago and she could well be worth siding with to follow up under a penalty. Sea Legend is an interesting runner on yard/handicap debut following an absence, with Abbey Gardens and Jean Baptiste others worth a look.

Having bolted up at Hamilton last Sunday, MY LITTLE QUEENS is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. She has run well over this C&D in the past.

(7) Natzor 9/2, Good second of 7 in handicap (16/5) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 7 days ago, challenging last ½f and keeping on. Return to this longer trip worth exploring and he's one to consider.
Has kept on well when going close over 1m on first two starts for this yard.

Has made the frame on all four runs this year; every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.
10

Prince Achille

10
10/1(-100%)
(10) Prince Achille 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 50 days ago, winning cosily having showed a good turn of foot. Steps up in class now but possibilities again in present groove.
Did it a shade cosily when completing C&D double last time and he holds solid claims.

Won at Southwell in March and excuses the next twice; could come back with a big run.

Flopped just 11 days ago but went close prior to that and is unexposed at today's trip.

Three wins on Wolverhampton Tapeta last year; could play leading role.

Two wins last year; promising reappearance & could be set for another productive campaign.

11/1(-10%)
(1) Anjo Bonita 11/1, Made a bright start for this yard last term, winning handicaps at Hamilton/York prior to a good third at first-named venue (8.3f) on final outing in October. Revised mark demands that bit more but she returns to action with her yard amongst the winners.
Did very well after joining this yard last summer; could go well on AW/seasonal debut.

On a reduced mark but on a losing sequence and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus.

16:52 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Natzor has filled the runner-up spot on both starts for the David O'Meara yard and is likely to go well once again off the same mark as his most recent effort at Hamilton. However, he could come out second best to ANJO BONITA, who has been victorious on two of her last three outings and she gets the vote to make a winning return to action. Furzig is another to keep an eye on.

NATZOR cemented the positive start made for David O'Meara when finishing a good second at Hamilton 7 days ago and, worth another crack at this longer trip on that evidence, he shades the vote to come out on top. Ludo's Landing and Jack Sparowe are others to consider, along with the thriving Prince Achille. Yeoman would also need factoring in if taking up this engagement.

The step back up in trip could be just what NATZOR needs to post a first win and he earns the vote, with Prince Achille feared.

Chance seemingly depends on whether soft ground was to blame for last two outings.

17:27 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MAFNOOD was beaten five lengths into second on his return to action at Doncaster last month and he could take a step forward from that effort. Richard Hannon's gelding remains on the same mark and may find the improvement needed to go one better. The main threat might be the hat-trick seeking Rocket Warrior, who went in by a length at Chelmsford in March and it would be no surprise to see him feature. Of the remainder, Cloudy Skye makes the most appeal on her handicap debut.

MONSIEUR MELEE showed plenty to be positive about at Sandown last time and Jedd O'Keeffe's gelding is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of the hat-trick seeking Rocket Warrior. Mafnood can complete the placings.

Rocket Warrior bids for a hat-trick on the AW but there are other intriguing options, including Monsieur Melee and MAFNOOD.

(7) Fairbanks 13/8, 11/2, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should remain competitive.

(12) Soowaih 18/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt.
1m winner here for R Varian last October; fair form for new yard but this looks too tough.

(2) Charging Thunder 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, heavy, 28/1) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has dropped to a good mark and should be much closer to form this time.
Dropped down the weights but didn't offer enough encouragement on last month's return.

Aerospace

(4) Aerospace 7/2, Unexposed for his age and made it two from two for this yard when landing a 7-runner handicap here last month, edging ahead late on. Longer trip shouldn't be a problem and boasts strong claims of completing the hat-trick.
2-2 for new yard after lengthy absence; bred to relish today's longer trip; obvious claims.

La Pulga

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Fairbanks was a shade disappointing when only managing sixth on his return at Thirsk, but he is entitled to improve off a 1lb lower mark and with the booking of Oisin Murphy to aid his cause. However, AEROSPACE looks the way to go. The son of Sea The Stars is unbeaten in two outings for Archie Watson and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests over 1m2f here last time. The runner-up did the form no harm by running well at Chester during the week and, with the likelihood of more to come up in trip, the five-year-old is the one to be on. Recent C&D winner La Pulga is another to watch out for.

AEROSPACE found marked improvement to double his tally for this stable here last time and there's more progress in him, so he gets the nod in the hat-trick bid. La Pulga is a big danger if able to dictate and his stablemate Artisan Dancer should be on the premises as usual.

Aerospace should relish this longer trip but he may have to give best to the unexposed and progressive 4yo FAIRBANKS.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Three-time C&D scorer ZIP lost little in defeat when runner-up in a class 2 event at Haydock recently and compensation could await the veteran on this return to the all-weather. The biggest threat appears to be Eldrickjones, who returned to action with a close-up second at Southwell last month, while fellow in-form rivals Swiss Ace and Longlai aren't easily dismissed, in what looks an open contest.

ELDRICKJONES made a pleasing seasonal return when runner-up at Southwell last month and is fancied to go one better here. Zip has a good course record and arrives after a sound effort last time, so also merits consideration alongside Longlai.

Eldrickjones is solid after a promising return but LONGLAI appeals most after his good second at Chelmsford.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Although KING'S LYNN was unable to capitalise on a declining mark at Goodwood recently, that second-placed effort marked a return to form. Andrew Balding's charge makes plenty of appeal racing off the same rating and a fifth career success could be on the horizon. Last month's Newbury third Bosh won't mind this switch to Tapeta and the five-year-old should give another good account of himself. Misty Grey and Dare To Hope are also worth a closer look.

IT JUST TAKES TIME won twice off higher marks last year and made a most encouraging return when a smooth-travelling second at Doncaster 15 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote to go one better in a wide-open race. The well-treated King's Lynn is a player having returned to form last time and Bosh can't be ignored in his current mood.

Batal Dubai is solid but DARE TO HOPE (nap) looks one to follow and a 4lb rise for his Beverley win underestimates him.

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.
