Dougies Dream

7
7/1(+13%)
(2) Dougies Dream 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Doncaster in June. Not in the same form back there (8f, soft) 19 days ago but was possibly unsuited by conditions. Back up in trip.
Dual winner over 1m here, and scored over 1m on turf in June; yet to win over 1m2f.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DOUGIES DREAM has won two of his seven previous starts on the all-weather - both at this course - and still has the scope to improve over this trip. The gelding has seemed more focused since being fitted with cheekpieces earlier this year and he is has a lot going for him off a competitive rating. Recent C&D winner Her Way is feared most off just 4lb higher, although Jewel Maker also tends to go well here and commands respect with his yard in flying form.

WESTERN BEAT arrives on the back of two solid efforts, so she's taken to notch a second win over C&D. Dougies Dream was possibly unsuited by a return to softer ground at Doncaster last time and is better judged on his previous form, with 7-time course winner Great Colaci completing the shortlist.

In an open race GREAT COLACI is taken to win his eighth race on the course by reversing recent C&D form with Her Way.

Ten-race maiden; placed in 7f/1m handicaps; needs to improve for longer trip on AW debut.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

IRON SHERIFF is versatile regarding the racing surface and, having maintained his progression when landing a similar type of event at Pontefract in June, this previous C&D winner rates as a live contender, despite shouldering 6lb more. Hildegard is also considered, as she is unexposed and has made notable improvement with cheekpieces applied in her last two starts, while Valstar and Coconut Bay are others that can go well too.

On the back of improved placed efforts at Kempton and Wolverhampton, HILDEGARD is taken to deservedly open her account now faced with a stiffer test. Indeed, she shapes as though this new trip is well worth exploring and is marginally preferred to Broctune Red, who was third to a progressive filly over C&D and should give another good account off this 1 lb lower mark. The in-form Iron Sheriff and handicap debutant Mass Consumption both need considering, too.

The vote goes to the unexposed MASS CONSUMPTION who is making his handicap debut over the longest distance he has tried so far.

Comfortably held in both outings.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SEA THE DREAM was only headed late on when he tried to make all at Haydock last month, but impressed with his attitude when under pressure near the finish. That experience should have taught him plenty and he gets the vote to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Star Runner is entitled to improve on his debut third at Kempton, while Golden West debuts for a yard that has enjoyed a good spell with their juveniles and the son of Masar is another notable contender.

It will look significant if there's market confidence behind newcomer GOLDEN WEST, who represents a leading 2-y-o yard and an entry in the Champagne Stakes suggests that he has been showing the right signs at home. He will need to be pretty decent to make a winning debut, given the level of ability that Galactic Charm and Sea The Dream have shown in two starts apiece.

Preference is for STAR RUNNER whose debut effort received a boost at Glorious Goodwood. Galactic Charm is second choice.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Making Dreams has done little wrong of late, but a 6lb penalty for his latest success, combined with the burden of top-weight, could see his losing run come to an end. Therefore, a tentative vote goes to the unexposed ROSENZOO, who finished a distant fourth at Newmarket on his latest outing. He makes both his nursery and Tapeta debut here and could be worth taking a chance on off an opening mark of 69. Mart is another to note in a first-time visor.

CLASSY CLARETS left the impression he'd have more to offer in nurseries at York last month and is taken to open his account. The hat-trick seeking Making Dreams is feared most, whilst Mart also enters calculations.

This can go to handicap debutant ROSENZOO who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth at Epsom two runs back.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

In not the strongest of contests, preference lies with REFLEX, who finished a decent second, despite missing the break, over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month. He is rated 1lb higher for the aforementioned run and is expected to build on that if getting away on level terms. Indication Rocket seemed to appreciate a return to the Flat most recently and is feared most dropping in distance, while Pop Favorite heads the remainder.

Preference is for REFLEX, who upped his game when second at Wolverhampton last month and still has few miles on the clock. Indication Rocket and El Jad rate the principal dangers.

The unexposed REFLEX (nap), who showed improved form in a first-time visor on his AW debut, is preferred to Indication Rocket.

4.5/1(+31%)
(6) Port Erin 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 25 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now handicapping but he's in good hands and improvement is certainly possible.
Not shown much in 3 qualifying runs but has an AW pedigree; interesting on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE TED took a big step forward when scoring over C&D on his most recent run and Tim Easterby's charge is fancied to follow up, despite a 5lb raised mark. However, Urban Road should not be taken lightly having also recorded a comfortable win over C&D at the same meeting and he can give the selection plenty to think about off 6lb higher. The unexposed Port Erin completes the shortlist on his handicap debut.

Though winless following a dozen attempts, DUKE OF WYBOURNE went close off an 11 lb higher mark over C&D on his latest visit here in April. He has largely struggled since but took a step back in the right direction when third in first-time cheekpieces at Thirsk recently and perhaps the more severe headgear he sports here will help eke out a bit more. Urban Road did the job well over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of Absolute Dream, who looks dangerous now dropping to 0-60 company.

Port Erin is intriguing on his handicap debut but LITTLE TED was a convincing winner of his first C&D attempt and is preferred.

Unplaced in all six starts and needs to improve for the cheekpieces.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

NORTHBOUND has been in consistent form this season and recent efforts on turf would suggest that another win may be just around the corner, especially over a C&D which he was successful over this time last year. Denied by the narrowest of margins at Wolverhampton, Bold Territories must be thereabouts again, along with Hezahunk for his in-form connections. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Guest List, Muddy Lynn and Rockin Rosa.

BOLD TERRITORIES signalled that his turn is very near when just touched off at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and, granted a positive response to the first-time visor, he may well confirm that impression by emerging on top here. He may have most to fear from Rockin Rosa, who will surely shed her maiden tag sooner rather than later judged on her recent near-miss over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Hezahunk and Northbound are others with appealing claims.

Preference is for C&D winner NORTHBOUND who only found one too good on turf last time and races off the same mark.

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.

Turned out again quickly after getting up late at Ayr on Saturday, WEE FAT MAC is aiming to strike while the iron is hot under a 5lb penalty. The fact he has won here twice is another major plus and Iain Jardine's charge may have too much for comfortable Wolverhampton scorer Yaahobby. Golden Rainbow is beginning to get the hang of things for his new connections, while Rainbow Rain is arriving on the back of a taking success at Thirsk.

The one who appeals most is RAINBOW RAIN, who returned to form when getting the better of dual subsequent winner Quercus at Thirsk and, all things considered, a 4 lb rise looks fair. It's no great concern that he failed to fire both previous attempts on the all-weather, as he has evidently improved since. Fellow last-time-out winner Yaahobby and Golden Rainbow rate the main dangers, though Jarvis is also considered off a potentially handy mark and Ben Macdui is another with possibilities.

The unexposed DALTON LANE ran really well over C&D on his debut and is taken to get off the mark on his handicap debut.

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.
