5
1st (5) Wiltshire (9/2 +18%)
Wiltshire

4.5
9/2(+18%)
(5) Wiltshire 9/2, Lightly raced 5-y-o who ended last year with success at Chelmsford and picked up where he left off making yard debut when bagging 16-runner Newbury handicap (6f) in April. Firmer ground possibly not his bag back there latest and bounce back possible (2-2 on artificial surfaces).
Latest run needs forgiving but promise of earlier Newbury win not yet forgotten; 2-2 on AW.

King's Lynn

8
8/1(+20%)
(7) King's Lynn 8/1, It's now 16 runs since his last victory in 2022 but he recorded a respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Handicapper has eased him a further 2 lb and each-way claims.
Retains ability and continues to drop in weights; e/w shout under suitable conditions.
13
3rd (13) City House (11/4 +73%)
City House

2.75
11/4(+73%)
(13) City House 11/4, Registered a facile victory on nursery debut at Kempton (6f) in October. Efforts mixed in 2 turf starts during the spring but firmly back on track second of 10 in handicap back at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, running on. Well worth a second look here.
Looked the best horse in the race when 2nd at Kempton 17 days ago; unexposed on AW; player.
14
4th (14) Cross The Tracks (10/1 +17%)
Cross The Tracks

10
10/1(+17%)
(14) Cross The Tracks 10/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/4) at this C&D 48 days ago, making all and keeping on well. Assessor applies further pressure now but respected nevertheless with his form figures here standing at 121.
Taken well to this track; up in weights against better opposition but still a contender.
4
5th (4) Strike Red (10/1 +50%)
Strike Red

10
10/1(+50%)
(4) Strike Red 10/1, C&D winner who signed off 2023 with 6f Curragh handicap success and best effort since when running on fifth at Epsom (6f) at the start of this month. Couldn't build on that when thirteenth of 25 in Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) last week but this rates less demanding.
Conditions to suit and back to a winning mark; one to be interested in.
11
6th (11) Lir Speciale (20/1 +20%)
Lir Speciale

20
20/1(+20%)
(11) Lir Speciale 20/1, Four-time winner for Roger Varian and bright start for new yard when fourth tackling inadequate trip on return at Newmarket (5f) in May. Similar form when tenth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago and his mark is easing.
Promising stable debut but failed to build on it latest; return to AW looks a good move.
10
7th (10) Batal Dubai (22/1 -238%)
Batal Dubai

22
22/1(-238%)
(10) Batal Dubai 22/1, Won this race 12 months ago (from 1 lb lower mark) and signed off the campaign with victory at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Largely held his form well on AW prior to a lesser effort at Haydock (6f) 3 weeks ago and he's a likely type to bounce back.
Latest turf run excusable; current mark fair on this year's AW best; won this race in 2023.
1
8th (1) Wodao (50/1 -100%)
Wodao

50
50/1(-100%)
(1) Wodao 50/1, Winless since 2 yrs and he ended 2023 well below par for Donnacha O'Brien. Makes his yard/handicap debut after nine months off/gelding operation with bit to prove.
Pick of his form for D O'Brien gives him claims but ended 2023 quietly; gelded; new yard.
2
9th (2) Rizg (100/1 -900%)
Rizg

100
100/1(-900%)
(2) Rizg 100/1, 6f winner as a juvenile and displayed useful form in light 2022 campaign. Down the field in Commonwealth Cup at the Royal Meeting that year and he's been absent/gelded subsequently. Market best guide following 2 years off.
Looked promising early on but something to prove back from a 743-day absence.
12
10th (12) Almarada Prince (33/1 -408%)
Almarada Prince

33
33/1(-408%)
(12) Almarada Prince 33/1, Yet to add to his three juvenile wins this term but he represents an in-form yard and he ran particularly well when second of 17 in handicap at York (6f) 2 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden prominently. Remains one of the least exposed and he's one to bear in mind.
Improved effort when 2nd of 17 in a strong York handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb; AW winner.
3
11th (3) Sophia's Starlight (350/1 -2088%)
Sophia's Starlight

350
350/1(-2088%)
(3) Sophia's Starlight 350/1, Useful filly. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 6/1, 6¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Jabaara in listed race at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 28 days ago, weakening 1f out. Drop back to 6f will suit and she hasn't had many tries on all weather.
6lb higher than for last year's Great St Wilfrid success; vulnerable to improvers.
8
12th (8) Wobwobwob (300/1 -1775%)
Wobwobwob

300
300/1(-1775%)
(8) Wobwobwob 300/1, Won Ayr Silver Cup last autumn and having slipped back down to that mark, capitalised on the drop in grade when winning 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) in May. Not seen to anything like best effect in big-field handicap at York (6f) latest but he's still to defy a mark this high.
Better than ever at Thirsk last month (6f, good to soft); midfield at York latest; AW a ?.
6
13th (6) Magical Spirit (450/1 -3114%)
Magical Spirit

450
450/1(-3114%)
(6) Magical Spirit 450/1, C&D winner who made a winning return from much-reduced mark at Doncaster (6f) in April. However, failed to match that by a long way when seventeenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good, 14/1) 45 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Good win at Doncaster on his reappearance but ran no sort of race at York last month.
9
14th (9) Kingentleman (450/1 -800%)
Kingentleman

450
450/1(-800%)
(9) Kingentleman 450/1, Useful performer at best, winning 3 times at Chantilly in 2022. Well below form all 3 starts last year and offered little on his Doncaster stable debut 28 days ago. Hooded now. Can only watch.
Group 3 winner in France in prime but made low-key stable debut (7f) this month; 2-4 on AW.

13:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Despite disappointing when seeking to land a hat-trick over 6f at Newbury last time, WILTSHIRE still makes plenty of appeal for the William Haggas team. This son of Aclaim runs off just 2lb higher than his success at Newbury on his penultimate start and this return to the all weather should suit, given he's got an unbeaten record (2-2) on artificial surfaces. Rizg is feared most after competing in much stronger contests than this of late and he's likely to be seen to better effect in handicap company, while Almarada Prince completes the shortlist.

CITY HOUSE got right back to his very best when finishing runner-up at Kempton 17 days ago, catching the eye with the rapid headway he made from further back than the winner. He's very much of interest taking on his elders for the first time. Wiltshire may have found conditions too quick at Newbury on his latest outing and he's worth another chance. Almarada Prince, following a big run at York,, last year's winner Batal Dubai and Cross The Tracks are also respected.

Wiltshire and Strike Red are greatly respected but CITY HOUSE hasn't reached his ceiling on the AW just yet.

1st (5) Montassib (7/2 +42%)
Montassib

3.5
7/2(+42%)
(5) Montassib 7/2, Smart performer who was confidently ridden when taking listed Cammidge Trophy on seasonal bow at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in March. Not disgraced faced with quicker conditions when midfield in Group 2 Duke of York since and respected for yard who have landed each of the last 2 renewals of this.
York's 6f on good ground looked an insufficient test latest; still capable of better at 6f.
4
2nd (4) Kinross (3/1 +14%)
Kinross

3
3/1(+14%)
(4) Kinross 3/1, Very smart sort who held his form terrifically well last season and signed off with an excellent effort going for a repeat win in the Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot 8 months ago. Missed intended return on account of the going at the Royal Meeting and he's respected in calmer waters now.
High-class form at 6f/7f, including when last seen; Listed win on Polytrack; major player.
10
3rd (10) Willem Twee (18/1 -29%)
Willem Twee

18
18/1(-29%)
(10) Willem Twee 18/1, Smart gelding who took his form up another notch when landing a 6f listed event under Oisin Murphy at Lingfield in November. Ran below best on back of 3 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f) 42 days ago but a return to all-weather can see him in a better light now.
Two good AW wins last November; has more to come on AW but this is a lively race.
3
4th (3) Fivethousandtoone (12/1 +25%)
Fivethousandtoone

12
12/1(+25%)
(3) Fivethousandtoone 12/1, Lightly raced 6-y-o who has improved for the application of a visor this year, quickening well to score over C&D in March. Struggled in Group 2 company next time but another who can have his run in the Wokingham overlooked having had no room to open up. Bit to find on these terms, however.
Impressive over C&D on Good Friday and excuses since; could go well at a price.
9
5th (9) Spycatcher (7/1 -40%)
Spycatcher

7
7/1(-40%)
(9) Spycatcher 7/1, Developed into a smart sprinter last season, winning twice and best of those held up when third in Champions' Sprint at Ascot final start. Returned with a solid third in Abernant Stakes in April but subsequent effort in York Group 2 underwhelming. Type to bounce back (runner up 12 months ago).
Close 2nd in this race last year; flopped at York last month; type to bounce back quickly.
11
6th (11) Ballymount Boy (350/1 -1844%)
Ballymount Boy

350
350/1(-1844%)
(11) Ballymount Boy 350/1, Runner-up in Richmond at Goodwood and Acomb prior to ending his 2-y-o campaign with a heavy-ground listed win at Doncaster in the autumn. On his toes beforehand and ran no sort of race on his reappearance in the Greenham in April. Needs to leave that well behind.
Tough 2yo (Group 2 placed) but absent since a flop at Newbury ten weeks ago.
8
7th (8) Ramazan (66/1 -500%)
Ramazan

66
66/1(-500%)
(8) Ramazan 66/1, Big improver towards the end of last season and he took his form up a notch equipped with a first-time visor when runner-up in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in May. Not in same form when eighth in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f) latest. Makes tapeta debut.
2nd in last month's Victoria Cup (7f, good); return to 6f no issue; respected on AW debut.
6
8th (6) Never Just A Dream (33/1 +18%)
Never Just A Dream

33
33/1(+18%)
(6) Never Just A Dream 33/1, Useful colt (dual C&D winner in 2022) who returned to his best when successful at Jebel Ali (6f) in March. Below best when last seen later that month and this no easy task on return to these shores.
3-3 on Tapeta as a 2yo, looking smart; mixed record in the UAE since; needs a career best.

9th (1) Albasheer (10/1 +0%)
Albasheer

10
10/1(+0%)
(1) Albasheer 10/1, Resumed his progress with back-to-back victories here earlier this year. Not in same form next 2 starts but latest run in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot best excused having been hampered inside final 1f. Not out of things.
Two best efforts have come here; excuses in the Wokingham last week; should go well again.
7
10th (7) Popmaster (150/1 -838%)
Popmaster

150
150/1(-838%)
(7) Popmaster 150/1, Smart and reliable gelding who landed 7f Newbury listed event last autumn. Comes here having acquitted himself well in recent months, 4 lengths seventh of 11 to Tiber Flow in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Each-way claims back on a straight track.
Ended 2023 on the up; solid efforts this year without suggesting he is one to be on here.
2
11th (2) Cold Case (100/1 -809%)
Cold Case

100
100/1(-809%)
(2) Cold Case 100/1, Smart colt who enhanced a fine strike rate when landing Ascot Group 3 on return 12 months ago. Creditable efforts on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter, fourth in Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest (6.4f) in August. Absent since but comes here with yard in good form.
Smart performer at two & three; won fresh last season; AW debut (dam won here); contender.

14:04 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Kinross is clear of these on official ratings and he was beaten just a neck in the Group 1 Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes when last seen in October, but that 252-day break could leave him vulnerable to some race-fit rivals. Preference is for MONTASSIB, who is fancied to return to form after failing to make an impression in the Group 2 Duke of York Clipper Stakes last time. William Haggas has saddled the last two winners of this contest and this son of Exceed And Excel can add to that record. Ramazan heads the remainder.

A winner of his only previous start over C&D, MONTASSIB looked as good as ever when making a winning return at Doncaster in March and, far from disgraced when midfield in Group 2 company at York since, he could be worth siding with to give his leading yard a third consecutive success in this race. The very smart and admirable Kinross is a lead threat on return for the Ralph Beckett yard. Last year's runner-up Spycatcher can also figure.

Ramazan and Kinross are high on the list but MONTASSIB will appreciate today's more thorough test at 6f.

Fourth off 2lb higher in this race 12 months ago; holds weak claims on 2024 Flat form.

14:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MARBUZET has been running consistently well of late and this looks a good opportunity to go close off a mark that appears exploitable. Tim Easterby's charge has been eased 1lb by the handicapper after being beaten just under three lengths when fourth over 1m6f at Thirsk last time and that could work the oracle today. The hat-trick seeking Alphonse Le Grande is feared most after a ready success in the Chester Plate last month but an 8lb hike may be difficult to defy, while Faylaq shouldn't be far away.

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE looked a stayer firmly on the up when quickening clear in a 2m handicap at the Chester Cup meeting and an 8 lb rise in the weights might not prove sufficient to prevent this Irish challenger from following up. Tim Easterby's bang in-form Marbuzet appeals as the one to give him most to do, although the selection's stablemate Belgoprince is another who commands plenty of respect. Course-scorer Chillhi completes the shortlist in the Plate consolation event.

Chester Plate winner ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (nap) is taken to bag another consolation prize. Stablemate Belgoprince is second choice.

15:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Fresh from landing the Ascot Stakes at the Royal meeting last week, Sir Mark Prescott aims to bag another big staying handicap with the hugely progressive TROOPER BISDEE. Typical of how the yard can get horses to continue their improvement up the handicapping ranks, the four-year-old made the cut when making it four wins from his last five starts at Pontefract on Sunday, thus giving him the 5lb penalty required to get in the line-up. The manner of that victory also suggested he would be rated a good deal higher if the handicapper had a chance to reassess him and the son of Australia commands the utmost respect. Zoffee is 4lb higher than his Chester Cup success and entitled to be in the mix, but it would be no surprise if Duke Of Oxford, who ran moderately on that occasion, were able to reverse form, especially back on the all-weather. Local trainer Brian Ellison has always wanted to win this contest and the North Yorkshire handler is represented by top-weight Tashkhan, who isn't handicapped out of things based on his Cesarewitch third, and Onesmoothoperator.

Lots with chances but Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile stayer TROOPER BISDEE had plenty in hand when going in at Pontefract last time and can complete his hat-trick under a 5 lb penalty here. James Owen's Too Friendly could emerge as the main danger now the cheekpieces go back on, although course-scorer Onesmoothoperator is also weighted to have a big say. Evaluation, Zoffee and Duke of Oxford are others who command plenty of respect in a typically ultra competitive Northumberland Plate.

Trooper Bisdee and Zoffee are second and third choices behind ZEALANDIA, who took to this track so well on New Year's Day.

15:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LOCAL HERO stepped forward from his return to action when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton earlier in the month. Hollie Doyle takes over in the saddle for the first time and she should get a good tune out of Richard Hannon's colt, who remains open to improvement on just his fifth career start. Giant wasn't at his best when sixth at Kempton last month and is entitled to bounce back to form, while the unexposed United Approach is of interest in an event which contains plenty of frontrunners on paper.

Lightly-raced 4-y-o UNITED APPROACH gets the nod to build on an encouraging comeback run at Newbury last month and take his career record to a healthy 3-5. Eldrickjones hasn't fired on turf the last twice but is much more reliable on AW and is feared most back at the scene of his win in May. Sole 3-y-o Local Hero, a good winner at Kempton last time, also makes the shortlist.

Being a 3yo who looks the type to progress further, LOCAL HERO is particularly appealing. United Approach is feared most.

16:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

INVITED has achieved a decent level of form on both starts to date and the drop to 5f may see him in a better light after his runner-up display at Newmarket last Saturday. Ardennes has to give 5lb and upwards away following his Salisbury win earlier in the month but he has to be high on the shortlist. Others to consider include Dutch Finale and Death Or Glory.

INVITED has shown promise to be placed on both his runs thus far so Richard Hannon's son of Kodiac is fancied to gain a first success at the chief expense of Salisbury-scorer Ardennes who could find the concession of 5lb just too much. George Boughey's debutant Dutch Finale appeals on paper and could also have a say, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Preference is for very interesting newcomer DUTCH FINALE who has strong credentials. Loudan is second choice.

16:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of FORCEFUL SPEED, who returned from a 62-day break to score comfortably over 1m4f at Pontefract last Sunday. Runner-up on his only previous attempt over this C&D, George Boughey's charge should be able to overcome a 5lb penalty and he gets the vote ahead of City Streak, who had been in excellent form prior to a disappointing effort at Epsom last month. A taking winner over C&D on his first start for new connections, Sea Legend must enter calculations off a 6lb higher mark, along with the capable Lord Protector.

SEA LEGEND had a bit to spare when making a winning start for the James Fanshawe yard over C&D last month and can defy a 6 lb rise. Second choice is Bystander, who had soft ground as an excuse for his disappointing run last time and can resume his progression back on AW. Recent Pontefract scorer Forceful Speed also makes the shortlist.

The most interesting runner is SEA LEGEND who looked way ahead of his mark here last month and a 6lb rise might not stop him.

(7) Fox Flame 125/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. Fifth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 28 days ago, sticking to his task, Well-run race over this trip would be in her favour.

(11) Shifter 125/1, 11/1, good third of 16 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago, slowly away and left with quite a lot to do. Won both starts prior to that so needs treating as though still in form as she goes back up in trip.

17:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The Jim Goldie stable has hit a fine vein of form of late and this looks like a perfect opportunity for his SOOWAIH to get back to winning ways, following a slightly unlucky runner-up effort over C&D last month when squeezed for room at the start. Shifter has yet to prove herself over this far but she has won two of her last three starts, while Baltic arrives on a four-timer. Natzor and Squeezebox are players based on the pick of their form as well.

BALTIC was awarded a very lowly mark given his pedigree and has flourished in handicaps fitted with cheekpieces, completing the hat-trick at Yarmouth. He's up 3 lb in a deeper race but may well be up to the task. Shifter and Squeezebox can offer most resistance.

Baltic has to be feared. SOOWAIH looks a solid alternative while A Gift Of Love and Parramount are other interesting types.

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.
