Three Platoon

4
4/1(-129%)
(1) Three Platoon 4/1, Snapped a long losing run over C&D last Tuesday and a 5 lb penalty won't prevent another bold bid if showing up in similar form.

Dubai Venture

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Three Platoon was a comfortable winner over C&D last Tuesday and although respected under a 5lb penalty, it is VIOLETA that shades preference. Ben Haslam's filly made it 22nd time lucky over track and trick a fortnight ago, but she remains competitively handicapped and could go in again following that confidence boosting triumph. Volenti hit the frame last time out and a similar level of performance can see him make his presence felt.

THREE PLATOON went nearly 3 years without a win but might be able to gain a second C&D victory in quick succession if showing up in the same form as last week. Ben Haslam pair Violeta, another last-time-out C&D winner, and Volenti might give Rebecca Menzies' charge most to do.

Only the recent C&D winners THREE PLATOON and Violeta make much appeal. The selection can overcome carrying a 5lb penalty.

13/8(-8%)
(5) Unique Spirit 13/8, Has posted 2 good placed efforts over C&D since fitted with a visor. This might be his day.
Two solid efforts visored over C&D recently; 1lb higher and should get involved once more.

2nd (1) Arcon (8/1 -140%)
Arcon

8/1(-140%)
(1) Arcon 8/1, Won an AW claimer at Chantilly last autumn. Best run for new yard when fourth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Haydock (11.5f, good) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable among the winners.
Can pull hard, which would be a concern now going beyond 1m4f for the first time.

Could yet be capable of better, with cheekpieces added to the hood tonight; considered.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 16f  Race Class Flow

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

Stamina isn't a given for many of these, but that can't be said for PONS AELIUS. The son of Galileo hasn't always been the most consistent this term, but he finished fourth in the Northumberland Vase here in June and a similar level of performance would be good enough to land the spoils. Sydney Seabreeze has few miles on the clock and could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Unique Spirit should not be underestimated.

The two 3-y-os may dominate this, with UNIQUE SPIRIT taken to build on a couple of placed efforts over C&D and gain a first success at the expense of Newmarket raider Sydney Seabreeze.

Unique Spirit should go well once more but the vote goes to SYDNEY SEABREEZE, who could yet be capable of better.

River Blackwater

5.5
11/2(+21%)
(4) River Blackwater 11/2, won a 6f Southwell nursery last month. Only eighth of 10 at Thirsk (6f, good, 10/1) since but may do better back on tapeta.
Sole Tapeta effort a good bit better than any of her five turf efforts; one to consider.

Mum's Called

20
20/1(+60%)
(9) Mum's Called 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when last of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 20 days ago. Makes nursery debut.
Poor opening effort for her new yard; needs a big step forward now handicapping.

(11) Layaali 22/1, Poor form. First run since leaving Phillip Makin when 4 lengths tenth of 11 to River Blackwater in nursery at Southwell (6f, 50/1) 28 days ago. Improvement needed.
Behind two of these at Southwell early last month; would want to see some support tonight.

(1) Empowered Queen 11/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 29 days ago. Interesting nursery newcomer, particularly if backed.

25/1(-127%)
(10) Stat Goddess 25/1, Respectable 5¼ lengths third of 10 to Indy's Angel in C&D nursery 7 days ago. Has work on to turn the tables.
Well-held 3rd behind Indy's Angel over C&D last Tuesday; will do well to turn things round.

Miss Cast

20
20/1(-100%)
(6) Miss Cast 20/1, Modest form. Fifth of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (7f, soft, 8/1) 33 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.
Didn't look to see out 6.9f on soft last time; ought to fare better in first-time headgear.
8
7th (8) Indy's Angel (2/1 -23%)
Indy's Angel

2
2/1(-23%)
(8) Indy's Angel 2/1, Much improved when winning 10-runner C&D nursery last Tuesday, forging 4 lengths clear. A 6 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop her.
Won easily here last Tuesday and is fairly treated under the penalty; has to be respected.

(2) Himself 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery (9/1) at Musselburgh (1m, good) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Indy's Angel looks the more obvious of the yard's pair.
1m beyond him on nursery debut but hasn't progressed; Indy's Angel his yard's best shout.

Best effort last time; having Rhys Elliott take off 7lb won't hurt; on the shortlist.

Favourite for a 1m nursery here three weeks ago; has since left Grant Tuer; drops in trip.

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

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

Indy's Angel bolted up over C&D last time out and she ought to make a good fist of things despite the 6lb penalty, but the vote goes to EMPOWERED QUEEN. Ollie Sangster's juvenile steps into nurseries from a workable mark of 62. Stall 12 is a positive and, given that she is bred to be useful, it would come as no surprise were she to take the necessary step forward. Fellow nursery debutant King Of Lir makes some interest, along with Rose Of New Jersey.

INDY'S ANGEL had plenty to spare over C&D last week and is taken to defy a penalty. Rose of New Jersey ran well for second at Thirsk last time and can fill the runner-up spot again. Empowered Queen and King of Lir are possible improvers now switching to nurseries, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour.

Rose Of New Jersey goes on the shortlist but EMPOWERED QUEEN should be capable of more now she's handicapping at an ordinary level.

(6) Alreet Cha 10/11, Fair maiden who would stand a good chance here if she can shrug off a couple of lesser efforts in turf handicaps in recent months. Cheekpieces on first time.
The return to Tapeta should suit and first-time headgear may help; shortlisted.

11/4(+17%)
(4) Pinsent 11/4, Placed at Redcar (7f) and Carlisle (6f) this summer but not in the same form when 8 lengths fourth of 5 at Wolverhampton last time. Bounce back needed.
Hasn't built on his Redcar second, latterly behind Genta at Wolverhampton; has it to prove.

Habitual hard-puller; has had 11 cracks at it now (6f-1m2f) and again looks vulnerable.

18:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A maiden through four starts, Pinsent has looked capable on his day but might be one for handicaps down the line, while Brividi wasn't disgraced first time out over further at Wolverhampton. GENTA could be the one, though. Alice Haynes' charge displayed some improvement from his first to second run and has been found a good opening to make it third-time lucky.

If ALREET CHA can get back to anywhere near her best in first-time cheekpieces it might be her day. Chatty is another who needs to shrug off some lesser efforts but his peak form puts him bang there.

It's unlikely ALREET CHA, who ran well over C&D a couple of times early in the year, will be found a better opening.

Dam progressed well with time and she has potential back from a five-month absence; player.

(1) Minnie Wildes 2/13, Promising type. 9/1, won 7-runner maiden at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) on debut 48 days ago, soon clear. More to come and good chance she can defy a penalty here.

19:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A 270,000gns purchase at the sales, this can go the way of newcomer SECOND NAME, who is bred to be smart being a half-brother to the stable's Mill Reef winner Sakheer. The booking of James Doyle is a positive one and he could have too much for Thelma's Angel, who has not been in action since a comfortable success at Ayr in May. An easy debut scorer at Ffos Las on heavy ground, Minnie Wildes may have been flattered by the winning margin on that occasion and could find this tougher.

MINNIE WILDES was impressive on her Ffos Las debut and has to be considered the one to beat, although a strong market move for Roger Varian newcomer Second Name would put a slightly different slant on things. Thelma's Angel looks best of the rest.

Minnie Wildes and Thelma's Angel have potential but are being asked to concede weight to the well-related SECOND NAME.

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

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

Now that SOUL SINGER has regained the winning thread after a comfortable success over 5f at Musselburgh, Tim Easterby's charge is likely to improve for going back up in trip, especially at a track where he was narrowly denied in March. Sergeant Mayer may have disappointed on his two starts here but has strong claims on his recent second at Beverley, while She'sashambles was only worn down late in the piece when bidding for the double over C&D last month.

COURT DRIVE was unlucky not to finish closer here last time, only getting room to fully open up inside the final furlong. She looks ready to strike again. Sergeant Mayer and Indivar are feared most.

Indivar won't mind the return to sprinting, but COURT DRIVE hasn't had much luck since handicapping and is preferred.

7/1(+42%)
(11) Dash Gordon 7/1, Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 32 days ago, looking awkward. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve.
Marked tendency to hang left; only daylight on his left from stall 1, which is a concern.

Missmimi

2.75
11/4(-53%)
(2) Missmimi 11/4, 3/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (6f) 19 days ago, pushed out. She's really stepped up her game since encountering an all-weather surface and looks poised to go well again back over 5f.
In good form here of late (6f); getting off the mark last time (2lb lower) won't have hurt.

(12) Rockley Point 33/1, 4-time course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2023. Off 145 days. Might need this.

(4) Stallone 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 28 days ago. No surprise if he bounced back in a thin race.
Wasn't best drawn in a better handicap here four weeks ago and is capable of bouncing back.

(3) Yiengaa 28/1, Winner at Brighton in June. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 60 days ago. Yet to offer much on all-weather.

Turn And Burn

8/1(-14%)
(5) Turn And Burn 8/1, Winner at Lingfield in September, standout performance at this stage. 16/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and one to note.
Again fluffed the start and pulled hard latest; is up to taking this if more professional.

(10) Sassy Soprano 9/1, 14/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, merely closing up late. Blinkers on 1st time.
Capable off this mark if she settles early from an outside stall, switched to blinkers.

Eight-time C&D winner who's into the veteran stage and on the downgrade.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

With Aiden Brookes claiming 3lb, MISSMIMI is effectively 1lb lower than for her 6f success here last month and is the most attractive option in handicapping terms, despite this being only her second attempt over the minimum trip. Stallone is a three-time C&D winner who can make this tough for the selection if on a going day. Sassy Soprano is handily drawn and also appeals for a place on the assumption that first-time blinkers can draw some improvement.

MISSMIMI has thrived since coming to Newcastle and can win again dropped back to 5f in a weak contest. Stallone and Blackcurrent are a couple of the other more obvious players.

The drop to 5f is the worry with Missmimi and dual C&D winner JOSHUA R, who has often gone well fresh, is preferred.

18/1(-13%)
(1) Maxi Boy 18/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 40/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 23 days ago. This is easier now making tapeta debut with in-form rider booked.
0-27 since debut success in 2019; drop to Class 5 is the angle with him.

(8) Patontheback 9/2, C&D winner. Good 1¼ lengths third of 12 to The Cookstown Cafu in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 14 days ago. Place claims again.
Closely matched with The Cookstown Cafu on C&D running last month; possibilities.

11/8(+21%)
(3) The Cookstown Cafu 11/8, First run since leaving Kevin Ryan and improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D (well-backed 5/2) 14 days ago. Clearly still better than this grade and good chance he can make it 2-2 on this surface.
Took well to this surface in C&D event two weeks ago on AW/stable debut; warrants respect.

0-6 on AW but finished third off 3lb higher in this race last year; not ruled out.

Streak Lightning

6.5
13/2(-44%)
(5) Streak Lightning 13/2, Won 12-runner handicap (8/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Seen to maximum effect and more needed now.
Overcame a tardy start to lead close home over C&D last month for a fourth Newcastle win.

Absent since his turf win last October on final start for George Margarson.

Bit to prove off current mark back on AW; debut for new connections.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU justified strong support in the betting when he won over course and distance a fortnight ago and, on just his second start for David O'Meara, a 2lb higher mark is far from insurmountable now he has proven to be effective on Tapeta. Streak Lightning struggles for consistency but can also go well if buoyed by his own C&D win last time. Ideal Guest and B Associates debut for new yards and are others to note in the betting.

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU made his first start away from turf a winning one for his new yard here recently and can strike again. Patontheback and Maxi Boy could be a couple of the dangers.

Being still favourably treated, THE COOKSTOWN CAFU (nap) is taken to complete a C&D double. Patontheback is second choice.

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.
