16:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LUNA MAGIC was a good winner over the stiff 1m2f at Chepstow, scoring by two lengths. The Archie Watson-trained mare, who goes well for Brodie Hampson, will have to negotiate a 4lb rise in the ratings, but that may prove lenient. Connections of Diffident Spirit will be hoping he can go one better than his second at Windsor last time, while similar applies to El Jad, who hit the crossbar here on his final appearance of 2022.

The available evidence suggests that DIFFIDENT SPIRIT is more of a force on turf but his AW handicap mark reflects that and he gets the nod on the back of a highly creditable effort at Windsor. Prince Ali was a close third in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton recently and, provided the headgear works equally well second time round, he shouldn't be far away. More Diamonds is probably capable of better than she's been able to show thus far and is also shortlisted, along with Just Hiss.

A first win may well be imminent for BRAES OF DOUNE, who has shown encouraging signs in these cheekpieces the last twice.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE MUDDY has been running well over 6f of late and this stiff 5f appears likely to unlock some more improvement. Seb Spencer's sprinter was a good winner at Ayr on her penultimate appearance and after performing well again for fourth when upped to this mark at Doncaster subsequently, she is worth sticking with. Dandy Dinmont should also be thereabouts if he's more alert at the start, while Nelson Gay isn't easily ruled out.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and NELSON GAY is fancied to capitalise on a good mark and end a losing run for his current yard. Little Muddy is feared most in her attempt to bag a third win of 2023 ahead of Libertus who appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Nigel Tinkler may hold the key to this race and PRODIGIOUS BLUE is preferred to stablemate Dandy Dinmont.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Badri scored over 6f at Epsom's Derby meeting but will have to overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings for that neck success, which may leave him susceptible to some better-treated rivals such as MONDAMMEJ. Antony Brittain's charge found Listed company beyond him at Haydock but bounced back when touched off over this distance at Doncaster and, off the same mark, he appears sure to go close again. Vintage Clarets is just one other to consider.

BADRI is enjoying a fine season yet still looks weighted to bag a fifth win raised 4 lb for his latest Epsom success which is proving strong form. Mondammej is a long time without a win but feared most on the back of his good Doncaster second. Vintage Clarets and Intrinsic Bond complete the shortlist in an open sprint.

Three-time C&D winner BADRI (nap) is in the form of his life, having won a quality handicap at Epsom on Derby day, and can win again.

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

NASHWA steps out of Group company for the first time in well over a year and given she gets into this without any penalties, she should be able to make her class tell and get her season back on track before a potential defence of her Nassau Stakes crown at Goodwood. Al Husn was a cosy winner of a Listed affair at Ayr and appears the biggest threat to the selection, although One For Bobby got off the mark at the first time of asking for Hughie Morrison at Nottingham and can't be discounted.

NASHWA established herself at a higher level than this as a 3-y-o, winning a brace of Group 1 contests and with her reappearance run unlikely to be lost on her, she can outclass these switched to the AW. Al Husn is clear second choice on form, with One For Bobby another to consider on the back of a sparkling stable debut at Nottingham.

Last year's Prix de Diane and Nassau winner NASHWA can get back on the scoresheet, with Al Husn a stand-out danger.

19:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LOVE YOUR WORK has gone well at this track in the past and looks to be on a workable mark having run with credit on his last two starts. Five-time course winner Anif is showing no signs of slowing down, despite his advancing years, and appears to have solid each-way credentials along with Mr Squires, who is having his first start in handicap company and an opening mark of 80 looks fair, with this step up in trip likely to suit.

LOVE YOUR WORK did very well to stick around for as long as he did having helped set a brisk pace at Southwell 17 days ago, and on that evidence, he's ready to add to his AW tally. Swiss Ace drops slightly in class and is a big threat, with the tricky Vindobala dangerous if she's on her game.

The suggestion is multiple AW winner LOVE YOUR WORK who chased home one ahead of its mark at Southwell

19:45 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Lowton is sure to be popular having got off the mark in game fashion at Leicester but, conceding upwards of 7lb all round, he is passed over in favour of CHELSEA SQUARE. The Ralph Beckett-trained gelding failed to build on his promising introduction when down the field on quick ground at Chepstow, but he was reported to have bled and is given another chance. Valtellina ran much better than her odds predicted when fifth at Newmarket on debut and improvement is likely.

LOWTON had a bit in hand when confirming the abundant promise of his Doncaster debut at Leicester last time and with plenty more to come he's capable of conceding weight all round. Valtellina seems sure to step up on her opening run, with Chelsea Square a danger away from firm ground.

Having caught the eye when fifth on last month's debut at Newmarket, VALTELLINA earns the vote on her second start.

20:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL TYCOON found only a resurgent rival too strong on his stable debut at Wolverhampton last month and John Butler's four-year-old looks the one to be with off the same mark now returned to 7f. Variety Island posted his best effort of the year when second here over 6f last week and is due to go up 1lb after this so is feared most. My Roxanne and Lockdown Lass are others to note in an open-looking contest.

This is quite competitive but TOPO CHICO is used to racing in a better grade of handicap and arrives on the back of a good run at Brighton 10 days ago, so she gets the nod over Global Tycoon, who made a positive start for John Butler at Wolverhampton last time. Variety Island is another one to consider.

An open race in which last week's course runner-up VARIETY ISLAND gets the vote ahead of Global Tycoon and Topo Chico.

20:52 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BOMB SQUAD once more filled the runner-up berth when weakening late on at Wolverhampton and a return to his last winning distance of 6f may work the oracle. Connections of Enderman reach for a first-time visor, with the five-year-old likely to be on the scene once more at this level. Eldeyaar's mark continues to slide and he is another to note after not enjoying the smoothest of passages at Dunstall Park last time.

DREAM TOGETHER is handicapped to win now and shaped better than the result at Thirsk (up with strong pace and hampered late) last time, so he's worth taking a chance on. Yazaman is another one to consider despite his poor strike rate and Bomb Squad is likely to run his race again.

After a very encouraging handicap debut over 7f, AZEEZAN may benefit from today's drop back in trip and gets the vote.

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.
