(8) Toscan Genius 6/1, Ran one of his better races when sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat.
Unplaced all 8 starts but not beaten far in a stronger race at Southwell latest; chance.

3.33/1(+26%)
(2) Lord Torranaga 3.33/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022 but again ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good) 9 days ago. Ought to remain competitive.

(5) Trailblazer 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but returned to form from a rapidly falling mark when second of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs considering.
Effective here and comes here on the back of a good run on turf; chance if on a going day.

(4) Crystal Guard 4/1, C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm, 18/1) 22 days ago. Remains to be seen if he's able to build on that.

(10) Thomas Cranmer 20/1, Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago, suited by way race developed. Up in trip.
No win since 2018; not beaten far 11 days ago but others still much more appealing.

Ideal Dream

16
16/1(+20%)
(3) Ideal Dream 16/1, C&D winner in April and returned to a similar level when sixth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (14.1f) in June. Not ruled out back from a break.
50-1 win over C&D in April was followed by two lesser runs; career best required today.

(9) Strong Team 100/1, 40/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 75 days ago. Poor on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Others preferred.

Prince Achille

3.5
3.5/1(-75%)
(1) Prince Achille 3.5/1, Winner at Carlisle in May and held his form well since, excellent second of 15 in 12f handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (good to soft) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Shortlist material.
Three placed efforts since his Carlisle win in May; up in weights but still considered.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

PRINCE ACHILLE has been unlucky recently, having been narrowly denied in consecutive starts at Thirsk, but Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is fancied to receive a welcome change of luck now returned to the all-weather. Crystal Guard is 2lb lower than when successful over course and distance in January so he must enter calculations, while Lord Torranaga and Ideal Dream appeal most of the remainder.

PRINCE ACHILLE is holding his form very well this year and is taken to notch a second win. Lord Torranaga, Trailblazer and Toscan Genius are a trio of potential threats.

There was some eyecatching late headway from CRYSTAL GUARD (nap) at Ayr last time and he looks primed to record his second C&D success.

Cusack

50
50/1(-150%)
(12) Cusack 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 10/1, reportedly finished lame when last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Absent subsequently and he's a likely candidate to bounce back.
Below par on turf two months ago but has saved a lot of his best efforts for this C&D.
8
1st (8) Fleur De Mer (1.88/1 +46%)
Fleur De Mer

1.88
1.88/1(+46%)
(8) Fleur De Mer 1.88/1, Much improved switched to handicaps, off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in July prior to a solid second at Chelmsford (10f) 31 days ago, edging left final 100 yds and keeping on. Has to be on the shortlist again.
Good start to handicap career on AW and likely has more to offer; major player.
1
2nd (1) Irish Flame (28/1 -75%)
Irish Flame

28
28/1(-75%)
(1) Irish Flame 28/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 28/1) 39 days ago, making no impression. Mark is easing if return to AW sparks a revival.
Well held in turf handicaps last twice but seems better on AW.
10
3rd (10) Barrolo (2.25/1 +36%)
Barrolo

2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(10) Barrolo 2.25/1, Different proposition gelded/switched to handicaps this term, taking his record to 4 from 5 with a bit to spare in a 3-y-o handicap at Newmarket (10f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip and unlikely we've seen all he's got to offer yet. Player.
Made it 4-5 in turf handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f) 20 days ago; big player if as good on AW.
6
4th (6) Elshaameq (11/1 +21%)
Elshaameq

11
11/1(+21%)
(6) Elshaameq 11/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 64 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Best efforts to date have come on an artificial surface and better showing anticipated.
Never-dangerous fifth on turf latest but best form on AW, including a C&D second.
9
5th (9) Mercurius Power (28/1 -133%)
Mercurius Power

28
28/1(-133%)
(9) Mercurius Power 28/1, Best effort a while when third in a 14-runner handicap here (7f) on penultimate start last month. Never figured back on turf when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) latest though and he steps back up significantly in trip here.
Third over 7f here last month but inconsistent and held on turf since; stamina to prove.
11
6th (11) Western Beat (6.5/1 +28%)
Western Beat

6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(11) Western Beat 6.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 12 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly run race. Not taken lightly.
C&D winner who has run with credit when reaching the frame on her last four outings.
7
7th (7) Danielsflyer (50/1 -257%)
Danielsflyer

50
50/1(-257%)
(7) Danielsflyer 50/1, Latest win here (1m) in March. 33/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, not ideally placed but running on. Not out of things operating from last winning mark.
All wins at 1m or shorter but penultimate C&D fourth shows this 9yo stays 1m2f.
5
8th (5) Don't Look Back (20/1 -43%)
Don't Look Back

20
20/1(-43%)
(5) Don't Look Back 20/1, Winner at Doncaster in April. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Ease in class rates a plus and he's no forlorn hope with his rider taking off handy 3 lb.
1-18 overall and no more than respectable third at Pontefract latest.
2
9th (2) Glory Nights (40/1 +0%)
Glory Nights

40
40/1(+0%)
(2) Glory Nights 40/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago, always behind. Pick of his efforts to date have come on AW but he comes here with plenty to prove in any case.
Well held in two handicaps on turf but did show ability in AW novices prior to that.
13
10th (13) Queen Of Sparta (8.5/1 -89%)
Queen Of Sparta

8.5
8.5/1(-89%)
(13) Queen Of Sparta 8.5/1, Well-related filly who has offered minor promise on 2 of her 3 starts in maiden/novice events in recent months. Never figured on turf at Lingfield when last seen in July but no surprise to see a better showing now handicapping up in trip. Market confidence behind her would look significant.
Handicap newcomer for a good stable; draw not ideal but still a very interesting runner.
3
11th (3) Sagauteur (16/1 -33%)
Sagauteur

16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Sagauteur 16/1, C&D winner. 7/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 43 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Comes here on a good mark and no surprise to see a better showing.
Placed over C&D on yard debut; possible excuse latest and is feasibly handicapped.
4
12th (4) Buckshaw Village (33/1 -18%)
Buckshaw Village

33
33/1(-18%)
(4) Buckshaw Village 33/1, 16/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey.
Lost way for Richard Fahey and remains to be seen if big step up in trip sparks revival.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BARROLO hasn't looked back since being switched to handicaps, winning four out of five starts, and the gelded son of Havana Grey might have what it takes to defy a further 4lb rise in the ratings. Fleur De Mer hit the woodwork at Chelmsford last time and is entitled to be thereabouts once more, while market support should be noted for George Boughey's Queen Of Sparta ahead of her handicap bow.

BARROLO took another step forward as he made it 4 wins from 5 starts in handicaps with a bit to spare at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed at this trip, all looks set fair for another big run from Grant Tuer's progressive 3-y-o. Fellow 3-y-o Fleur de Mer is improving herself and feared along with Western Beat. Queen of Sparta is one to note in the betting now handicapping for her shrewd stable.

The 3yos FLEUR DE MER and Barrolo are handicappers heading in the right direction, with a narrow preference for the former.

(9) Grey Force One 50/1, 40/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
6f turf novice winner last summer but has largely struggled since.

(4) Sun Power 3.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 2 days ago. Can make presence felt if turned out again quickly.
No win since 2021 but Wednesday's fourth at Southwell shows he arrives in reasonable form.

Emperor Caradoc

6
6/1(+25%)
(3) Emperor Caradoc 6/1, 6/1, very good third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface.
Placed twice on turf since joining this yard; AW debut; one of more likely types.
5
5th (5) Ellabella (14/1 -56%)
Ellabella

14
14/1(-56%)
(5) Ellabella 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Eighteenth of 20 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good). Off 112 days ahead of this tapeta debut for new yard but she wouldn't be without a chance if able to reproduce her polytrack form from Ireland on this surface.
Good record on AW and interesting to see how she goes in betting on debut for Iain Jardine.

Came good on turf latest; second in C&D handicap off same mark earlier in year.

In good form on turf lately and is a former C&D winner; considered.

Came from well off pace to win over C&D latest; 4lb rise manageable; player.

(11) Abnaa 40/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. 33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Out of sorts lately but too well treated to dismiss over C&D which brings out best in him.

Mark in freefall but lots to prove after failing to beat rival in three runs for this yard.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having been given a bit of time to freshen up, CODE PURPLE failed to deliver despite being well supported at Chester in July. The Ribchester gelding has been given a similar break since then and he might resume his progress back on a synthetic surface. Three-time course winner Rocket Rod clearly enjoys it at this venue and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Slippin Jimmy, who may improve for first-time cheekpieces.

While SIDNEY'S SON hardly broke new ground when deservedly opening his account in a Carlisle novice 16 days ago, that odds-on success could prove to be a confidence-boosting springboard for Nigel Tinkler's charge. He has performed with credit on both previous visits here and gets the nod ahead of Rocket Rod, who has followed his Doncaster win in June with a couple of solid efforts in defeat and should remain competitive. Slippin Jimmy and Sun Power are others to consider.

This is competitive. ROCKIN ROSA has reacted well to the cheekpieces going on and is taken to defy a 4lb rise for her latest C&D win.

Tailed off in both runs this year; too much to prove for comfort.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KATS BOB finished a solid second off a mark of 68 at Ayr last month and may be able to capitalise off a 4lb lower mark now reverting to the all-weather. Secret Road offered more encouragement on his second appearance for Tristan Davidson when seventh at Redcar recently and he shouldn't be discounted, with a 2lb drop in the ratings likely to help. Caribbean Sunset also makes some appeal now tried over 7f for the first time.

KATS BOB can race off a 4 lb lower mark than when a good recent Ayr second so looks the way to go. Secret Road is weighted to have a say if on his A-game so needs considering along with course winner.Caribbean Sunset.

Neither Burning The Bails nor PEMBROKESHIRE are solid options but there are grounds for expecting better from them today.

Promise at up to 7f and this trip should suit on paper; capable of better.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DARK ENCOUNTER outran his big odds to finish a close-up fourth over 7f at York last month, which was a very encouraging first start in nursery company. The son of Dark Angel has only been raised 2lb for that display and that could prove to be a lenient decision. Gamraan is best judged on his second at Goodwood on his penultimate run and could also get involved, while Alpen Power is likely to show a lot more now that he is tackling nurseries.

DARK ENCOUNTER posted a very good fourth in a big-field York nursery last time and looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 2 lb rise. Handicap-debutant Consoling could emerge as the chief threat to Karl Burke's colt ahead of course-winner Star of Lazise.

Dark Encounter finished in front of GAMRAAN at York last time but that run isn't the one to judge the selection on.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

APOCALYX shaped with plenty of promise when second behind a subsequent winner on debut at Thirsk and he should progress a great deal from that. Trefor struck at Windsor on his second start by a short head, but he has a 6lb penalty to carry and that will make life tougher for him. Of the remainder, The Liegeman makes the most appeal after his sixth at Bath.

APOCALYX showed plenty when runner-up on debut and with average improvement he should be able to go one better. Trefor carries a penalty for his recent Windsor success but he's the main danger with the scope for further progress. Appellant can get involved if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.

Pianoforte and APOCALYX are open to considerable improvement and Richard Fahey's colt is marginally preferred.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Love Lies won on only her second outing at Ayr last month but she could find it tough to give a 7lb penalty to the James Fanshawe-trained THUNDER PRINCESS. The daughter of Night Of Thunder finished third over 7f at Doncaster, which was a pleasing debut and she could improve to strike now down in trip. Charencey could also go well after his Chepstow third.

THUNDER PRINCESS shaped with plenty of promise when third at Doncaster on debut and, with improvement on the cards, she can get the better of Love Lies, who has a penalty to contend with. The rest have something to find, so it's likely to develop into a match.

A good chance this will develop into a straight fight between THUNDER PRINCESS and Love Lies, with the former narrowly preferred.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL TYCOON made a highly encouraging start for Joseph Parr when third at Windsor and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that outing, which now puts him below his last winning mark. The four-year-old ran well at this track over 7f on his penultimate run and he ought to go very close. Copper Mountain was a respectable fifth at Musselburgh last time and she goes off the same mark, while Rum Runner is another to consider in his current form.

In a wide-open looking handicap, GLOBAL TYCOON could prove to be the answer. The 4-y-o is 1 lb below the mark off which he opened his account at Kempton last year and has shaped as though his turn is again near in two starts for John Butler and, most recently at Windsor, on debut for this yard. Mr Strutter and Royal Prospect are feared most.

In an open finale, C&D winner RUM RUNNER has been in good form of late and looks as solid as any.

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.
