17:19 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Habanero Star is 2lb above her last winning mark and the daughter of Mayson would be dangerous to dismiss based on that, but QUOTELINE DIRECT gets the vote. Micky Hammond's inmate has been running with credit in recent months and finished a length and a quarter back in second over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in March. Braes Of Doune was only narrowly denied at Ayr last week and is another to consider on his all-weather debut.

A tricky opener to solve but BRAES OF DOUNE is selected to go one better than at Ayr last week having taken his time to hit top stride. This step back up in trip looks a wise move, and he can get the better of Marcello Si, who made an encouraging return when runner-up over C&D last month. Sun Festival is declared at Beverley on Tuesday and Joseph Parr's 5-y-o would be one to look out for if taking his chance.

An open race in which QUOTELINE DIRECT gets the vote ahead of last week's Ayr runner-up Braes Of Doune.

17:50 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RAYAT forced a dead-heat when running on well on his racecourse debut over an extended mile at Wolverhampton in April. He has to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, but Sean Kirrane negates some of that rise with his 3lb claim and the gelded son of Starspangledbanner must command respect with that in mind. He is fancied to get the better of fellow last-time-out winner Bear On The Loose, who receives a handy weight-for-age allowance and should not be dismissed. Mambo Sunset adds further spice to the race.

Cases can be made for a few of these but sole filly in the line-up MAMBO SUNSET is selected to get off the mark second time up after making an encouraging start to her career when third in a Carlisle maiden just under 3 weeks ago. Bear On The Loose improved to get off the mark switched to turf at Yarmouth in April, so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Rayat, who shared the spoils on debut and seems sure to improve with that under his belt.

An interesting race in which MAMBO SUNSET gets the vote ahead of the penalised pair Rayat and Bear On The Loose.

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

Even though Quantum Leap hasn't been seen since scoring on his racecourse debut at Southwell last November, he is very well-related and his dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Cutlass Bay, so there is likely more to come from him. However, THEATRE HONOURS has filled the runner-up spot on both career starts and Charlie Appleby's inmate is taken to benefit from stepping up in trip. The class-dropping Medieval Gold is another of interest.

Runner-up on both previous outings, Godolphin's THEATRE HONOURS has shown a level of form which typically would be good enough to win a race of this nature and despite looking a shade awkward under pressure last time, he's taken to go one better and get off the mark. Quantum Leap impressed on the clock when making a winning debut last year and is highly respected after an absence, whilst Medieval Gold is surely better than he was able to show at Chester.

This can go to THEATRE HONOURS who sets a useful standard on his two runner-up efforts and is open to progress on this step up in trip.

Sagauteur is noteworthy returning for a new yard off 3lb lower than his last winning mark, while support for Vitralite would be compelling, given he has held his form since returning to the UK (from Hong Kong) and is worth a try over this new trip. However, this could be a good time to catch BASHFUL, who has more proven stamina than most and has potential for further progression on his first start back after a wind operation.

A tight-knit handicap in which in-form VITRALITE rates just the pick at the weights and is fancied to bag a third success of 2023. Cavalluccio wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Lingfield last time and rates the chief threat, although Flag of Truth and Irish Flame can't be ruled out either.

It may be worth taking a chance with SAGAUTEUR who has won fresh before and is lower in the weights than for both wins last year.

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

Kylian is one to keep tabs on as he develops, while similar applies to Moonstone Boy, who has been consistent in his three previous outings and is certainly going the right way. However, Roger Varian introduces a highly appealing newcomer in the shape of BLUE FORCE, who went for 220,000 pounds at Goffs UK Breeze-Up in April and is taken to make a winning start to his career.

BLUE PRINCE made a highly encouraging debut when a strong-finishing fifth at Musselburgh and with lots of improvement on the cards Richard Fahey's Blue Point colt looks the way to go. Newcomers Nariko and Blue Force are both in very good hands and catch the eye on paper so merit lots of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.

This selection is KYLIAN, who ran well in defeat on his first two starts, but he's certainly not the only appealing option.

Bonne Vitesse was good value for the winning margin at Ripon last month and is respected off just 4lb higher. However, her previous all-weather form leaves a little to be desired and she is taken on with EAST END GIRL, who was victorious on her last visit to this track. As is the case with the selection, Big Cheese has the scope to improve in first-time cheekpieces and is also feared.

All of the quartet can be given a chance but BONNE VITESSE had a little up her sleeve when going in at Ripon last time out and can follow up at the chief expense of the in-form Highlighter.

Likely turned out too quickly last time, BIG CHEESE can bounce back on this 2m/Tapeta debut at the expense of Bonne Vitesse.

SQUEEZEBOX proved well suited by a step up in trip when winning at Yarmouth last Wednesday. Michael Appleby's gelding, who escapes a penalty for that success, remains open to further progress and might be capable of following up if handling the switch to synthetics. Old News shaped with promise on his return from a short break and would have to enter calculations from 5lb below his last winning mark, while Inexplicable appeals most of the remainder.

Little to choose between the principals here but INEXPLICABLE is taken to bag a second success of 2023 now he is easing in the weights. Course winner Bold Territories must enter calculations too, while recent Yarmouth scorer Squeezebox also needs factoring into this competitive handicap.

Unexposed at 1m, last-time Yarmouth winner SQUEEZEBOX (nap) is hard to oppose off the same mark. Bold Territories is second choice.

MACHO PRIDE bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Hamilton last time and, though Ruth Carr's gelding doesn't have the most inspiring of strike-rates, this looks a good opportunity to go one better. The son of Camacho is fancied to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark and is, perhaps crucially, drawn high. Beast Of Burden should appreciate the return to an artificial surface and is considered, along with Enderman.

With cheekpieces reapplied, ENDERMAN turned in his best performance of the year when runner-up at Nottingham last time and he can build on that effort to get back to winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is last-time-out winner Quercus, while Macho Pride and Kraken Florida also merit consideration.

Down to the trip his dam won nine over (RPR 114), DARKER is worth chancing ahead of Yaahobby and Macho Pride.

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.
