Shown little to date and would want to see good support before considering her.

(3) Ideal Dream 5/1, Left her previous efforts behind when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (12.4f, 50/1) 22 days ago, always holding on having led on bridle over 2f out. Leading contender with more still to offer.

5/1(-25%)
(7) Desert Miracle 5/1, Shaped as if still in form when fifth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 9/1) 17 days ago, having to challenge far side. Can give another good account upped in trip.
This mark ought to be within range; stamina is the question over today's longer trip.
LTO Selection:

17:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 6/1 (3) IDEAL DREAM 2nd place: 7/1 (2) FIRE EYES 3rd place: 6/1 (5) CARACRISTI

Ideal Dream came home in front last time at a big price over 1m4f here and was put up 5lb in the weights, but she drops in distance and DESERT MIRACLE is preferred. The son of Postponed was staying on well at the finish over a mile at Southwell last time and has been dropped 1lb in the weights for that effort. With possible improvement coming from the step up in trip, he is fancied to record his first career success. Marcello Si is another to watch out for.

After breaking on terms for once, IDEAL DREAM left her previous efforts behind when successful here 22 days ago and she can score again now that she's up and running. The main danger could be Desert Miracle as he goes up in trip, while Caracristi soon got back on track returned to the all-weather last time.

(2) Moogie 5.5/1, Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Love Locket and smart winner up to 11.4f Raakib Alhawa. Dam 1½m winner. Appeals on paper, but she has a fair standard to aim at.

Nothing exciting in three starts at 1m last autumn; needs to improve for the stiffer test.

(4) Charli Sands 9/1, Footstepsinthesand filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Reel Rosie and 1m winner Leader Bear. Watch for market clues.
Half-brother to the yard's Reel Rosie, who won on her 2yo debut; worth a market check.
LTO Selection:

18:10 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but 1.2/1 (5) FLYING CIRCUS and 8/1 (2) MOOGIE seem to have the most potential. Therefore, they may finish in 1st and 2nd place, while 4.5/1 (6) SILK BIRD could finish in 3rd. However, as with any horse race, anything can happen, so it's impossible to guarantee these predictions.

FLYING CIRCUS shaped well on debut when beaten just under five lengths into third over a mile at Doncaster in October, and two subsequent winners have come out of that race. With the likelihood of much more to come and the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, she could prove very difficult to beat. Charli Sands makes some appeal on her debut for the in-form Ed Bethell yard, as a daughter of Footstepsinthesand. Of the remainder, Ajyad could take a step forward.

FLYING CIRCUS made a promising debut when third at Doncaster on her only start at 2 yrs and she sets the standard in this contest. Entered in the Irish Oaks, the daughter of Cracksman can get off the mark upped in trip, with Ajyad the one who can give her most to think about. Silk Bird is the pick of the remainder.

(8) Hedonista 5/1, Knew what was required and ran to a fair level when second of 7 in maiden at Kempton (1m3f, 17/2) on debut 16 days ago. Can be thereabouts with more to come.
Hard to know the worth of her recent Kempton second but will only have learned from it.

(7) Rampant 28/1, 27,000 gns foal, 32,000 gns yearling, £1,000 2-y-o, Roaring Lion gelding. Half-brother to useful 1½m-1¾m winner My Girl Maggie. Has a tough level to aim at on his first start.
Picked up for just £1,000 last year; the market will show what's expected.

(6) Captain Potter 1.2/1, Finished runner-up on both starts just 8 days apart, bumping into a useful prospect in 8-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 11/10) 24 days ago. Remains capable of better
Didn't improve on his debut second when well held at a short price next time; needs more.

(4) Air Of Approval 125/1, Has shown little in 2 starts in bumpers, ninth of 10 at Kelso (16.2f, good, 100/1) 18 days ago. Looks to be up against it once more.
Looked to have stamina issues in two bumpers this spring; best watched for now.

Two poor efforts in bumpers this spring; is likely one for handicaps in due course.

Carnival Times

(5) Carnival Times 33/1, Time Test filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Castle Harbour and winner up to 1m Carnival Rose. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 8.3f Mabait. Faces stiff task on belated debut.
Latecomer to the game; would be a surprise were she up to this.
LTO Selection:

18:45 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st - 1.25/1 (3) PAGE THREE: Showed promise in her debut and has the potential to progress and win. 2nd - 2.25/1 (8) HEDONISTA: Ran to a fair level in her debut and is expected to do better with more experience. 3rd - 3/1 (6) CAPTAIN POTTER: Despite a disappointing performance in his last race, he has shown potential in his debut and could bounce back.

Hedonista was only beaten half a length on her debut at Kempton over 1m3f, and the three-year-old filly is likely to have learned a lot from that experience. However, she could be second best to the Keith Dalgleish-trained PAGE THREE, who had an extremely promising first start behind Sapphire Seas and, with the extra furlong possibly in her favour, she is the one to be with. Captain Potter completes the shortlist.

PAGE THREE ran to a fairly useful level when third at Kempton on her belated debut last month, finding only a pair of 3-y-os representing leading connections too strong, so she can build on that effort to open her account at the second time of asking. Hedonista also shaped promisingly on her first start and is feared most, ahead of Captain Potter.

Having shaped with promise on her Polytrack debut, PAGE THREE is fancied to get off the mark. Hedonista rates the main danger.

(1) Master Richard 10/1, Possibly did too much too soon when ninth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft, 10/1) when last seen in September. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 7-month absence.

Won this last year off a 6lb lower mark and should do better back round here.

Undergone wind surgery and, although Tom Eaves rides, Ron O looks his trainer's best shot.

Won his maiden over C&D but has a very long absence to overcome in a competitive race.
LTO Selection:

19:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place are 25/1 (9) ELIGIBLE, 7/1 (7) STREAK LIGHTNING, and 7/1 (5) SWISS ACE. 25/1 (9) ELIGIBLE has shown good form in previous races and is expected to do well in a bigger field. 7/1 (7) STREAK LIGHTNING is a three-time course winner and has been performing well recently, despite being denied a run in his last race. 7/1 (5) SWISS ACE, a previous winner of this race, has the advantage of being a dual C&D winner and could do better now that he's back round here.

ALL THE KING'S MEN found himself too far back off a sedate gallop when finishing third at Kempton last month and, with Rainbow Fire (second) subsequently winning a nice pot at Haydock, a similar performance on the class drop may suffice. Ron O is only 3lb higher than his last success over C&D in early April and he's feared most, while Eligible lost little in defeat when runner-up to a progressive rival at Wolverhampton.

Having previously been trained in France, ALL THE KING'S MEN made an impressive stable debut when winning at Lingfield in January, but he was then absent for 11 weeks before finishing third at Kempton last month. With his latest run behind him, he can resume his progress and is taken to see off the challenge of Eligible and Streak Lightning.

This can go to ALL THE KING'S MEN, who'll be happier into tonight's bigger field. Last year's winner Swiss Ace is second choice.

(4) Northern Spirit 7/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner here in January. Very good second of 9 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 32 days ago, just failing. Should give another good account.

Strong traveller who shouldn't mind the return to 6f; this is tougher but is shortlisted.
LTO Selection:

19:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the horses that could potentially finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd are: 1st place: 4/1 (6) TRABAJO DETECHO 2nd place: 8/1 (9) BELLA KOPELLA 3rd place: 5/1 (4) NORTHERN SPIRIT

Razzam makes his first appearance in handicaps and looks to have been given a workable mark based on what he's achieved so far. NORTHERN SPIRIT, however, was only denied by a head when second over C&D last month and, despite being 3lb higher in the ratings, Brian Ellison's gelding rates as a more solid proposition. Another Baar has been in good form on the turf of late and the son of Mayson also enters calculations.

BELLA KOPELLA had something to spare when scoring here in March and shaped as if still in form on her only subsequent outing, so she's worth a chance to get back to winning ways for all that this looks a competitive event for the grade. In-form pair Another Baar and Northern Spirit are obvious dangers.

Currently 2-2 over C&D, TRABAJO DETECHO (nap) did nothing wrong on turf last time and is fancied to see off Bella Kopella.

(14) Beast Of Burden 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, heavy) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut.
This is more realistic in a first-time tongue-tie; cannot be recommended as yet.

(3) Macho Pride 4.5/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Ben Haslam when bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 13/2) 13 days ago. Bit to prove at present.
Well handicapped on a couple of C&D efforts in the winter; is one of the likelier winners.

(1) Sam's Call 9/1, Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) 55 days ago. Visor back on. Likely to give his running once again.
The return to Tapeta, back in the visor, should suit but he's become expensive to follow.

(10) Zegos Surprise 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 4/1) 25 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Others make more appeal.
More consistent for this yard over C&D prior to her latest run on soft; should fare better.

(11) Gran Roque 50/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 20/1) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
Well held in two soft-ground runs for her new yard this spring; isn't obviously fancied.

7.5/1(-88%)
(12) Mutanaaseq 7.5/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Redcar (7f, heavy) 18 days ago, not much room. Has good chance on form.
Two years since his last win and is 0-8 on the AW; hit traffic at a key stage last time.

(6) Dreamcasing 3.33/1, Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 10 in handicap (5/6) at Redcar (6f, good to firm), nearest finish. Off 8 months. Enters calculations.
Evidently felt better than this sort of mark; needs watching in the market on his comeback.

(5) Merry Secret 5.5/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Tenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 9/1) 13 days ago. Hard to know what mood he'll turn up in.
Valid excuses since a C&D win in March; can't be left out of calculations.

(9) Mutabaahy 8.5/1, Course winner. 10/3, won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 3 days ago. Carries penalty. Arrives in good order and should go well again.
Wolverhampton specialist; bounced back on Tuesday but often fluffs the start.

Has claims if the return of headgear, for the first time for this yard, does the trick.
LTO Selection:

20:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses that seem to have a good chance based on the information given are: 1) 5/1 (3) MACHO PRIDE - Well handicapped and a course winner 2) Arrives in good order and should go well again. 3) 14/1 (2) FINAL ACCOUNT - Has claims if the return of headgear does the trick and a C&D winner. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and anything can happen on the day of the race. It is always recommended to do further research and consider other factors like form, jockey, trainer, and track conditions before making a final prediction.

BOARHUNT showed enough pace over further at Southwell last time out to suggest that he can handle the drop in trip. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he may have too much for the likes of Dreamcasing and Zegos Surprise, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort over C&D. Others to note include Atrafan, Final Account and Mutanaaseq.

MUTANAASEQ is really well treated and caught the eye having met trouble at Redcar recently, so he gets the nod in the hope that he gets a clearer passage this time. Dreamcasing is still lightly raced for a sprinter and looks the main danger, while Boarhunt is likely to put up another solid showing.

Dreamcasing is worth a look but MERRY SECRET has had excuses since his C&D win off tonight's mark in March and can bounce back.

(4) Another Angel 1.5/1, 7-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 4/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 days ago, doing too much too soon. Expected to be bang there.
Conditions to suit and he comes here at the top of his game; leading contender.

(5) Tantastic 5/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 9/2) 13 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Mark continues to ease at least and return to an artificial surface could well help now.
Won this race off an 8lb higher mark last year; not firing on all cylinders this year.

8/1(-23%)
(1) High Security 8/1, Struck twice over 5f last year and returned from 5 months off with good fourth in a C&D handicap in March. Below best faced with ground softer than good when seventh of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Type to bounce back.
Yet to win on AW but has some good form here; poor draw on turf latest; interesting.

(2) Beneficiary 4.5/1, Fair winner at 5f for Karl Burke. Yet to match that form in trio of starts upon joining present stable, sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/1) 35 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip needs to have positive effect now.
Not been getting home over 6f here of late; return to 5f a plus.

(3) Latin Five 7.5/1, Good second of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 31 days ago, staying on. Certainly not out of things from this sort of mark returned to all weather.
A couple of runs that have suggested he's ready to strike; should get good pace to aim at.

Tough front-runner; latest turf run excusable; other pace influences to deal with here.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.75/1 (4) ANOTHER ANGEL 2nd: 5/1 (5) TANTASTIC 3rd: 4.5/1 (3) LATIN FIVE

This can go the way of LATIN FIVE, who must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort at Thirsk last time out. He is now 8lb below his last winning mark and is narrowly preferred to Another Angel, who has not been outside the first two home in his last three starts. Beneficiary and Tantastic are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Having added to his tally at Wolverhampton 3 starts back, ANOTHER ANGEL has run equally well in defeat both starts since, collared only late on having arguably gone off a little hard back at that venue 3 days ago. The return to 5f will hold no fears and he could be the answer. Latin Five and Tantastic head up the dangers.

Another Angel and Latin Five are respected but HIGH SECURITY had an excuse last time and an earlier fourth here was a good run.

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.
