Her Way

18
18/1(-13%)
(9) Her Way 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, again ran poorly when sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Mark drops into the 40s for the first time but needs to show more.
Missed all of last year and has been hit and miss since returning.
8
2nd (8) Oscar Doodle (3.5/1 +30%)
Oscar Doodle

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(8) Oscar Doodle 3.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest at Chelmsford City in May. Helped by the way the race developed when fifth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 34 days ago, merely closing up late.
Stayed on for fifth over C&D last time without threatening to have a serious say.
12
3rd (12) Ana Emaraaty (6.5/1 +19%)
Ana Emaraaty

6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(12) Ana Emaraaty 6.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ran best race upped markedly in trip when seventh of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes all-weather debut.
No worse for the application of blinkers at Hamilton (1m3f) but was only seventh of 12.
7
4th (7) International Law (11/1 +21%)
International Law

11
11/1(+21%)
(7) International Law 11/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Sliding back down in the weights so not ruled out.
His last seven wins have been on Tapeta but his recent efforts unconvincing.
2
5th (2) Hot Team (7/1 -17%)
Hot Team

7
7/1(-17%)
(2) Hot Team 7/1, Won this corresponding event last year, latest victory was at Hamilton in May. 10/1, wasted no time getting back on track when third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 7 weeks ago. Can give another good account.
Has won on the AW (1-16) but far more effective on the grass; can still have a say.
1
6th (1) Great Colaci (11/1 -10%)
Great Colaci

11
11/1(-10%)
(1) Great Colaci 11/1, 7-time course winner. 12/1, last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Down in trip and can't be discounted back at this venue.
Won't mind returning here but getting long in the tooth now and has top weight.
5
7th (5) Rumnotred (16/1 +20%)
Rumnotred

16
16/1(+20%)
(5) Rumnotred 16/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Mark continues to tumble and needs to bounce back returned to all-weather.
Regressive maiden; best efforts have been over shorter and this trip seems to find him out.
3
8th (3) Wheal Kitty (33/1 +34%)
Wheal Kitty

33
33/1(+34%)
(3) Wheal Kitty 33/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 28/1) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
The wheels have come off since finishing close up at Musselburgh in May.
6
9th (6) Alhabor (8.5/1 -21%)
Alhabor

8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(6) Alhabor 8.5/1, Had little luck in running once more when fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 12/1) 13 days ago, plugging on after hampered and shuffled back 2f out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form.
First run in blinkers was encouraging so perhaps a change of headgear will help.
4
10th (4) We Still Believe (5.5/1 -10%)
We Still Believe

5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(4) We Still Believe 5.5/1, C&D winner in March. 28/1, shaped as if amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last outing.
Dual winner here and running well before pulling up over hurdles last month.
10
11th (10) Petite Sioux (12/1 -85%)
Petite Sioux

12
12/1(-85%)
(10) Petite Sioux 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seemed stretched by the longer trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 16/1) in May.
Poor so far, including when stepped up from 1m to 1m4f on AW handicap debut.
11
12th (11) Miss Raindrop (16/1 -33%)
Miss Raindrop

16
16/1(-33%)
(11) Miss Raindrop 16/1, 20/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 29 days ago, having to weave way through after not clear run over 2f out. Down in trip.
No wins in eight and never closer than 6l, including handicaps from 1m1f to 1m6f.
LTO Selection:

16:56 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Having landed the corresponding event from a 1lb higher mark 12 months ago, HOT TEAM is fancied to repeat the dose. The gelded son of Zoffany has been in fine fettle recently and that could give him an edge over some out-of-form rivals. We Still Believe appeals as one of the more likely challengers, while dual course winner Oscar Doodle heads the remainder.

A low-key start to proceedings in which ALHABOR is selected to make just his second outing on the all-weather a winning one having again had little luck in running at Nottingham last month. Cheekpieces replace the usual blinkers, and he can get the better of International Law, who continues to slide in the weights. Last year's winner Hot Team and Ana Emaraaty round off the shortlist.

The 5yo WE STILL BELIEVE pulled up over hurdles last time but was running well on the Flat prior to that. He looks the safest option.

1st (4) Turner Girl (5.5/1 +0%)
Turner Girl

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(4) Turner Girl 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 62 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken seriously.
Consistent on turf this term and has place possibilities returned to AW.
7
2nd (7) Tafsir (3.2/1 +29%)
Tafsir

3.2
3.2/1(+29%)
(7) Tafsir 3.2/1, Belatedly off the mark at Musselburgh last month before following up in similar fashion under this rider at Hamilton (13.1f, good, 3/1) 13 days ago. Nudged up another 4 lb and having scored a shade cosily, she remains firmly of interest back on all-weather.
Successful on turf under Paul Mulrennan the last twice; has form here; respected.
3
3rd (3) Can Can Girl (4.5/1 +47%)
Can Can Girl

4.5
4.5/1(+47%)
(3) Can Can Girl 4.5/1, Temperamental sort. C&D winner. 7/1, backed up her reappearance effort despite not going with much zest when second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 2 weeks ago. Visor back on.
Return of regular visor looks a plus and she's a dual C&D winner; one to consider.
5
4th (5) Fox Flame (6.5/1 -44%)
Fox Flame

6.5
6.5/1(-44%)
(5) Fox Flame 6.5/1, Ran poorly under a change of tactics when last of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Epsom (12f, good) 3 weeks ago. Tough to support with much confidence after that.
Has form figures of 43123 in AW handicaps; interesting back in this sphere.
10
5th (10) Eloped (2.25/1 +10%)
Eloped

2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(10) Eloped 2.25/1, Showed much improved form back on all-weather when second of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 28/1) 6 weeks ago. Up in trip and is one to consider on handicap debut.
May take another step forward now handicapping and upped in trip; appealing type.
2
6th (2) Bookmark (20/1 -43%)
Bookmark

20
20/1(-43%)
(2) Bookmark 20/1, 4/1, produced a laboured effort when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good) 47 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Case can be made if getting back to some of last year's form.
0-9 on AW but went close off this mark on last attempt in this sphere.
8
7th (8) Spiced Rum (22/1 -38%)
Spiced Rum

22
22/1(-38%)
(8) Spiced Rum 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 26 days ago, edging right entering final 1f. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task.
Holds weak form claims but may be capable of improvement now handicapping.
1
8th (1) Kepala (22/1 +12%)
Kepala

22
22/1(+12%)
(1) Kepala 22/1, 16/1, ran no sort of race on first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when last of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, soft), very slowly away and taking little interest. Off 10 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn and this should reveal plenty.
Absent since a dismal effort last September; market can guide on debut for new yard.
9
9th (9) Aljardaa (40/1 -21%)
Aljardaa

40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Aljardaa 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Never dangerous eighth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (10.2f) 43 days ago. Up in trip.
Five-race maiden; penultimate effort offers hope for improvement.
LTO Selection:

17:32 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Tafsir looks set to mount another stern challenge following consecutive victories at Musselburgh and Hamilton, but preference is for ELOPED. The Golden Horn filly took a marked step forward when finishing second at Chelmsford and she looks set to progress further now pitched into handicaps. Can Can Girl ought to be involved after occupying the runner-up berth at Hamilton, while Bookmark is just one more to consider.

TAFSIR has taken her form up a notch since being stepped up in trip so Jim Goldie's 4-y-o is fancied to bring up the hat-trick having scored a shade cosily at Hamilton just less than 2 weeks ago. Eloped showed much improved form back on all-weather when runner-up in June, so she could be the one to give the selection most to think about on handicap debut, ahead of Turner Girl and Can Can Girl.

With further progress entirely possible, ELOPED looks interesting on her handicap debut. Can Can Girl is second choice.

Patontheback

6.5
6.5/1(+41%)
(6) Patontheback 6.5/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 13 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort.
Losing run mounting up but returning to 7f won't hurt and has form here.

8/1(+11%)
(7) El Jad 8/1, Caught the eye on his second run back after an absence when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. Player off an unchanged mark in his bid for a maiden success.
Fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) wasn't too shoddy but hasn't raced over 7f since debut.

(10) Go Sing 7.5/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm, 18/5) 27 days ago. One for the shortlist.

(14) My Roxanne 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 11/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 17 days ago, slowly away. Ought to be in the shake-up.
Continues to break slowly but it has not stopped her from racking up a good run of form.

(13) Mai Alward 40/1, 150/1, last of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time with work to do.
Very quiet in three handicaps (6f-7f) for this yard and cheekpieces are now added.

(12) Howyoulikemenow 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below-par sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 9/2) 30 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Early days and perhaps didn't take to Brighton last time.
LTO Selection:

18:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MY ROXANNE has shown plenty on an artificial surface, including when successful over C&D from 3lb lower in June. She gets the nod back here following a good third at Ayr, although Saisons D'Or, who is well treated judged on past exploits, should give her plenty to think about. Star Map steps up in trip for her handicap bow and market support should be noted.

Lots with chances but EL JAD is taken to build on his promising Wolverhampton fourth and gain his breakthrough success at the chief expense of 3-time C&D winner Saisons d'Or. My Roxanne is another with winning form here who must enter calculations along with Go Sing and Billy McGarry.

A few with chances but GO SING has made a decent start for his new yard and drops into Class 6 company this time.

(6) Carlton And Co 4.5/1, Shaped as if back in form when sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has to be taken seriously having eased a shade in the weights.
Peak RPRs have come at shorter trips and she remains a maiden.

(12) Rockin Rosa 11/1, Ran just respectably upped in trip when third of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly.
Has not progressed; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Good second over C&D last time and the winner has franked the form since; strong claims.

(3) Greycious Anna 9/1, 14/1, quickly returned to form when third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
Shaped well on latest turf run; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Martini Nights

7.5
7.5/1(-36%)
(1) Martini Nights 7.5/1, Ran to a similar level as previously when third of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 6/4). One to consider given the weight of support for her when last seen 9 months ago on handicap debut.
Open to progress in handicaps; interesting on reappearance.

Abbey's Dream

4.5

(2) Abbey's Dream 4.5/1, Dual C&D winner this year, latest in February. 13/2, wasted no time getting back on track when third of 7 in handicap at this C&D back in March, no extra final 100 yds. Can figure if hitting the ground running.
Respectable third over C&D in March when last seen, taking Newcastle record to 113.
11
8th (11) Cosa Sara (16/1 -78%)
Cosa Sara

16/1(-78%)
(11) Cosa Sara 16/1, Latest win at Ayr in May. 5/1, good third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 43 days ago, rallying after switched approaching final 1f. Her slow starts make her a tricky betting proposition, however.
Has done her winning at 1m on turf; this scenario isn't ideal.
10
9th (10) Thawg (4/1 +20%)

4
4/1(+20%)
(10) Thawg 4/1, Showed much improved form when won 5-runner maiden at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 65 days ago, sticking to task. Makes handicap/all-weather debut.
May build on Brighton maiden win provided she copes with another drop in trip.
7

Azucena

40
40/1(-60%)
(7) Azucena 40/1, Course winner. Again ran poorly when last of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 40/1) 55 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
Return to Newcastle may suit but this new trip presents a question mark.
4
11th (4) Platinum Girl (14/1 -56%)
Platinum Girl

14
14/1(-56%)
(4) Platinum Girl 14/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Carlisle in June. 10/3, produced a rare below-par effort when eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, very slowly away. Makes all-weather debut. Enters calculations.
Lost her chance with a tardy start on latest outing; consistent otherwise in 2023.
LTO Selection:

18:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

First-time cheekpieces may benefit GREYCIOUS ANNA following her third at Catterick and there should be plenty more to come from this lightly-raced three-year-old. The usually reliable Platinum Girl, who had excuses when not running up to scratch in that Catterick contest, could easily bounce back, while it is also worth keeping an eye on Martini Nights now she's going handicapping for the first time.

CARLTON AND CO shaped as if back in form when finishing sixth at Thirsk last month and, yet to run a bad race on the all-weather, Mick & David Easterby's 4-y-o gets the tentative nod to belatedly open her account. Platinum Girl produced a rare below-par effort last time, but she's fancied to bounce back quickly, with handicap-debutantes Martini Nights and Thawg another couple worth keeping an eye on.

On the back of a very solid C&D effort, ORIGINAL THINKER (nap) could well go one better. Abbey's Dream is second choice.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BEECHWOOD STAR sets the standard following his eye-catching debut performance at Thirsk and his runner-up effort at Ayr last month. Richard Fahey's colt is likely to make the most of his experience and shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. I'm Spartacus improved from his first start when finishing second at Beverley and the extra furlong is unlikely to be an inconvenience. Newcomers Emu War and Birchwood Drive appeal most of the remainder.

BEECHWOOD STAR left his debut run behind when just failing at Ayr and this looks an excellent opportunity. I'm Spartacus also stepped up on his debut when second at Beverley and looks the obvious threat, with Emu War making most appeal of the newcomers.

I'm Spartacus is open to improvement now up in trip but preference is for BEECHWOOD STAR following his near-miss at Ayr.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The penny appeared to drop late for AL WAASL when running on strongly to finish third at Newbury and, with the likelihood of a fair amount of improvement to come, he is expected to prove too strong for the opposition. Project Geofin is capable of bouncing back from his latest effort at Doncaster and he is respected, along with newcomer Last Addition, who is a half-sister to a multiple Listed-placed filly.

AL WAASL shaped very well come the finish when third at Newbury and should take the beating. Kings Merchant and Last Addition are a couple of newcomers to note.

Having been a promising third on his debut at Newbury three weeks ago, AL WAASL gets the nod. Project Geofin is a danger.

(1) Glorious Rio 7.5/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort.
Should be competitive off reduced mark but that was the case last time too when only 8th.
LTO Selection:

20:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having last won off a 10lb higher mark, Glorious Rio has a live chance on these terms if he is still capable of matching anywhere near his peak performances, while the unexposed Noble Captain appeals strongly for a place at least on only his fourth start in a handicap. However, MUDDY LYNN is readily preferred for win-only purposes, given she is a previous C&D winner who still has bags of scope to improve over this trip.

MOSTALLIM bounced back to score in emphatic fashion at Chelmsford last time and, escaping the penalty, he should be able to comfortably follow up if in the same form. Nickleby goes well fresh and looks of interest after 4 months off, while Muddy Lynn should give her running again.

Mostallim is well ahead of the handicapper but both Noble Captain and MUDDY LYNN appeal in opposition.

Struggled in 2023 but his C&D 2nd off 12lb higher in December gives him a shout; visor on.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Mutanaaseq is versatile trip-wise and and is shorlist material, despite picking up 4lb extra for winning over 7f at Catterick. However, he is also due to appear at Redcar on Wednesday so ONE FOR THE LADIES, who arrives on the back of a successful performance at Wolverhampton, shades preference given she is a previous C&D winner who has fared a bit better with the draw. Struck Gold was only a neck behind the selection at Dunstall Park so also looks capable of going well.

WEE FAT MAC shaped better than the result at Ayr last time and has a solid record on tapeta, so he's worth chancing for a stable that has been amongst the winners recently. Mutanaaseq is an obvious danger if taking his chance (entered at Redcar on Wednesday) and Carribean Sunset is likely to give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon.

The recent Wolverhampton handicap in which ONE FOR THE LADIES beat Struck Gold may prove the key formline.

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.
