1st (1) Sectarius (16/5 +36%)
Sectarius

3.2
16/5(+36%)
(1) Sectarius 16/5, Fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens at 3yrs. Well beaten both starts in handicaps in Ireland this year but has made a very interesting yard switch ahead of his return and he could be worth chancing up significantly in trip.
Regressive in five starts in Ireland; longer trip a big doubt on stable/AW debut.
7
2nd (7) Something (7/2 +65%)
Something

3.5
7/2(+65%)
(7) Something 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Sandown (10f, good) 16 days ago, laboured headway final 1f and never on terms. Step back up in trip needs to have positive effect now eased back down in class.
Unplaced in five starts, but has shown ability; trip may suit; worth a second look.
4
3rd (4) Love Safari (6/1 +14%)
Love Safari

6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Love Safari 6/1, Shaped much better than he had been doing for Charlie Johnston tried in a visor after 7 weeks off when seventh of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Up in trip. Fancied to go close on just his second all-weather start.
0-8 but has twice only just been beaten including over C&D; may yet be capable of better.
8
4th (8) Jamih (40/1 -300%)
Jamih

40
40/1(-300%)
(8) Jamih 40/1, Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Catterick/Thirsk in August and having edged back up the weights, he ran respectably when sixth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 18 days ago. Others rate stronger back on all weather, however.
Well held in both starts since winning twice on turf in August; best watched for now.
3
5th (3) Kinetic (5/2 -25%)
Kinetic

2.5
5/2(-25%)
(3) Kinetic 5/2, Thrived upon joining this yard, making it 4 wins from last 5 starts when landing 9-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 4/1) 8 days ago, readily. Big shout turned out quickly under a penalty.
Record since joining this yard is 211141; no telling how much progress she still has left.
6
6th (6) Polar Princess (8/1 +20%)
Polar Princess

8
8/1(+20%)
(6) Polar Princess 8/1, C&D winner. 16/1, not disgraced behind a pair of 3-y-os when third of 4 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 35 days ago. Now operating 5 lb below her last winning mark but she could well be vulnerable again for win purposes.
Sole win in 19 starts came over C&D from 5lb higher; can't be completely dismissed.
2
7th (2) Southern Voyage (10/1 -67%)
Southern Voyage

10
10/1(-67%)
(2) Southern Voyage 10/1, C&D winner. 17/2, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, losing place before rallying gradually. No forlorn hope.
C&D winner back off last winning mark; could go well back at this trip.
5
8th (5) Royal College (40/1 -700%)
Royal College

40
40/1(-700%)
(5) Royal College 40/1, Fair form when third in maidens at Hamilton (9f) and Windsor (1¼m) prior to a lesser effort when sixth of 7 in novice at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Bounce back not ruled out now handicapping over this longer trip.
Placed in two of three starts on turf; open to progress up in trip on handicap/AW debut.

16:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

Kinetic made it four wins from six starts since joining the James Owen yard at Southwell on her latest outing and she holds an obvious chance again. However, it may pay to side with ROYAL COLLEGE, who showed promise on his first two starts at Hamilton and Windsor before disappointing at Beverley last time. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old now takes a step up in trip and might be able to defy his opening mark of 70. Polar Princess completes the shortlist.

Having displayed fairly useful form as a 3-y-o, SECTARIUS was below his best in a pair of handicaps in Ireland earlier this year. However, he's made a very interesting yard switch ahead of his return and could just be worth chancing to bounce back before the benefit of market clues. Thriving mare Kinetic and Love Safari are other likely players.

It's hard to oppose the rapidly improving KINETIC in her current mood and she is taken to make it 5-7 since joining James Owen.

(4) Chesneys Charm 7/2, Supplemented his maiden win on nursery debut at Wolverhampton in August. 5/1, fourth of 6 in nursery at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell and he's back in trip.
Dual 7f winner but his progress stalled last time and he needs to find more for new yard.

Record of 2-4; had tough task last time and could resume his progress at this new trip.

Love Is The Law

4/1(+33%)
(2) Love Is The Law 4/1, Back-to-back winner at Lingfield this summer. 8/1, sixth of 9 in nursery at Sandown (7f, good) 34 days ago, slowly into stride and making modest late headway.
Dual winner but was well held on nursery debut at Sandown last time; others preferred.

Chuti Manika

5.5
11/2(+21%)
(5) Chuti Manika 11/2, Confirmed debut promise when winning at Catterick in July. That race worked out quite well but he was disappointing when seventh of 9 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good) 29 days ago.
In rear on nursery debut latest but the slow ground may have been an issue; not ruled out.

Tiete

4/1(-45%)
(6) Tiete 4/1, Yet to win a race but going the right way, showing improved form when second of 10 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago despite meeting some trouble. Makes tapeta debut and looks a major player with cheekpieces on.
Runner-up in both nurseries including behind a subsequent winner last time; respected.

Eighteen Fourteen

18
18/1(-50%)
(7) Eighteen Fourteen 18/1, Showed improved form when off the mark at Redcar in June. Didn't get much of a run when ninth of 13 in nursery at York (6f, good to soft) 83 days ago and now up in trip switched to the AW.
Had traffic issues in a York nursery; now steps up to 7f and he's one to keep an eye on.

16:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LESLEY'S BOY failed to fire when only managing ninth at Newmarket in August, but he may have blown his chance away before the start that day after giving his rider problems on the way to the post. If the son of Kodi Bear builds on his success at Ripon two starts ago, he could prove tough to beat. Tiete has hit the crossbar on both of her nursery starts and she now sports first-time cheekpieces, so it will be no surprise to see her get involved. Del Ray is pick of the remainder.

This looks open for the field size with TIETE, the only maiden in the field, taken to gain a deserved success fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Lesley's Boy and Del Ray head the opposition.

This looks tricky but LESLEY'S BOY had a tough task last time and he could resume his progress back in calmer waters at this new trip.

7/1(-110%)
(1) Jacks My Boy 7/1, Left debut form behind when 33/1-winner of 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Much respected despite conceding weight all round.
Both starts at 1m on Polytrack, big step forward when winning the latest; more to come.

17:25 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Jacks My Boy and Countess Candy both come into this contest on the back of victories, but the latter is the pick of the pair after her impressive triumph over 1m2f here last month. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer SPETSES, who is related to plenty of winners and represents powerful connections. The son of Get Stormy might be able to make an instant impression on his racecourse debut.

Most of these enter calculations but Conrad Allen's filly COUNTESS CANDY looks the way to go on the back of her impressive recent victory here. Roger Varian's newcomer Spetses could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the returning King of Lightning and Chelmsford City scorer Jacks My Boy.

Spetses needs watching in the market but both JACKS MY BOY and Countess Candy are good candidates for further improvement.

3.5
7/2(+13%)
(7) Baraq 7/2, 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Sole previous run in handicap company didn't go too well but that was over 11f and he has to be feared given the yard he represents.
Won a Southwell novice easily and 2lb well in under penalty, but last in only handicap run.

Nikovo

6.5

(1) Nikovo 13/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. 16/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago, hampered. Daniel Tudhope prefers Great Max.
Three wins earlier this year including over C&D, but still 8lb above his last winning mark.

C&D winner, but has become inconsistent and may need the run; hood on.

Master Richard

4lb lower than for his last win over 7f here; other wins have come over 1m; could go well.

(9) Sniper's Eye 9/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 2/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he should be on the premises, provided that this drop back in trip doesn't count against him.
Southwell winner a year ago and won on turf last time, but may need further than this now.

Great Max

Won twice on turf in August but modest in three starts on AW; still has stamina to prove.

(6) Yokohama 16/1, Lightly-raced course winner. 11/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) when last seen in June. Others make more appeal.
Won here as a 2yo; some stiff task this year and remains unexposed; watch market.

Light Speed

(11) Light Speed 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chester in July. 3¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Theme Park in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 15 days ago, not much room. Good strike rate on the AW (3-7) and he's one to be interested in.
Won three times on the AW late last year; met plenty of trouble last time; each-way claims.

Theme Park

Has won two of his last four starts on turf, but well beaten in one previous visit here.

Greatgadian

6

Winner once and runner-up three times in five visits here; dangerous off this mark.

Hale End

9lb higher than when winning over C&D in January so will need to have improved generally.

8lb lower than his win here last December but doubts over whether he can take advantage.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Now that THEME PARK has regained the winning thread after a taking success at Pontefract last time out, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the four-year-old and he can land the double. Sniper's Eye got up late to score over further at Yarmouth last month and he must enter calculations, along with recent Southwell winner Baraq.

Cases can be made for several of these, with LIGHT SPEED topping the shortlist. He finished nearer last than first in the Pontefract handicap won by Theme Park recently but that only tells half the story (shaped better than the result) and his strike rate on the all-weather is another strong selling point. Hale End was also down the field in that Pontefract race but is much better than he showed there and is second choice ahead of Master Richard. Baraq and Sniper's Eye are others to consider.

This can go to GREATGADIAN (nap) who has become particularly attractively weighted on his best form at this track.

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having not been outside the first two on her last five starts here, BAROSSA looks the one to beat on the back of a narrow reversal over C&D last month. Runner-up over the same track and trip on his most recent outing, Drakeholes is taken to uphold form with Asadjumeirah (fourth). Polly The Rocket and Portoro are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

BAROSSA and Drakeholes boast solid C&D form this year and might be the pair to focus on, with the former taken to gain compensation for last week's near miss. Portoro and Filey Beach are others who should have a say.

The vote goes to URBAN DANDY, 1lb lower than when twice going close over 7f at Southwell in March. He remains unexposed over this far.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GORDONSTOUN (third) may have a length to make up with Yaahobby (first) from their most recent clash over C&D, but Liam Bailey's charge is 5lb better off on this occasion and was carried left late in that contest. He can regain the winning thread, with Concert Boy (sixth) another to note from that event. Elettaria, whose last win came at this track a year ago, completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on END ZONE back down in a Class 6. Concert Boy wasn't seen to best effect behind Yaahobby here last week and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Gordonstoun.

The choice is ELETTARIA who has dropped 2lb lower than when winning over C&D a year ago.

Won five times over 7f/1m here at the start of the year, but is likely to need the run.

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

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

Pallas Lord is hard to ignore with seven career wins at this venue, but he hasn't been seen since April and lacks race fitness. Strangerontheshore has to be considered as a C&D winner, but BERNADINE is still preferred. Only beaten a length at Southwell last month, she was put up 1lb for that, but Kaiya Fraser now claims 3lb from the saddle and she looks attractively handicapped.

BERNADINE is well treated on her best form and seemed to be perked up by blinkers last time, so she's preferred to Bicep, who was also back on track recently. Turbo Command is expected to give another good account of himself.

The vote goes to LITTLE TED who has proved consistent over C&D since the summer of last year. He was beaten a head on his last visit.

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

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

Paul Midgley won this in 2022 and has two chances here, with Beverley fourth Silky Robin seemingly the best of them on his return from a wind operation. He can go well despite top-weight, but he may have to give way to MUSICAL DIVA. A beaten joint-favourite last time out at Beverley, she deserves a third win after numerous placed efforts. Southwell second Street Life is another to consider, with Rhys Elliott's 7lb claim a major bonus.

KYBER CRYSTAL is thriving and still looked well treated when runner-up at Musselburgh a couple of days ago so, despite the quick turnaround, she's worth another chance. Street Life is shaping up well and has a promising apprentice on board, so he's the main threat ahead of Musical Diva.

Preference is for dual C&D winner STREET LIFE who has been running well in defeat lately as when runner-up at Southwell last Sunday.

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

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

SPARTAN FIGHTER clearly loves it here with six victories and plenty of places to his name, and he returned to form when a short-head second here last time out. He looks all set for another big run in this field, having won off higher marks in the past. One Of Our Own has won three times this year at Catterick and if she can transfer her best form to the all-weather, she could go well. Flash The Dash is the pick of the remainder.

This looks ripe for SPARTAN FIGHTER, who has returned to form with solid efforts here the last twice and a sixth C&D success beckons for the 7-y-o. One of Our Own came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Catterick but that was a respectable effort nonetheless and she earns the vote ahead of Flash The Dash for forecast purposes.

This can go to SPARTAN FIGHTER, who is a Tapeta specialist and was only just caught off this mark over C&D ten days ago.

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.
