Oh So Grand

3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(4) Oh So Grand 10/3, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in July. Good second of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good, 10/3) 50 days ago. Merits serious consideration.
Continued the progression latest; the return to Tapeta will be fine and she's shortlisted.

2nd (5) Whitefeathersfall (14/1 -17%)
Whitefeathersfall

14
14/1(-17%)
(5) Whitefeathersfall 14/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this course (8f) 11 days ago. Back up in trip and now 7 lb below the mark of his sole success to date at Carlisle in July 2022, so he would be a threat if the first-time visor were to help spark a revival. Yard also saddles Cancan In The Rain.
Hasn't looked to see it out in three previous tries over this far; needs to settle.
11
3rd (11) Boldly (5/2 -127%)
Boldly

2.5
5/2(-127%)
(11) Boldly 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, running on. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and improvement could be forthcoming.
Step back up in trip now handicapping should help and has been found the right race.
8
4th (8) Cancan In The Rain (11/2 +21%)
Cancan In The Rain

5.5
11/2(+21%)
(8) Cancan In The Rain 11/2, Latest win at Newmarket in June. 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 21 days ago. Needs to raise his game, but he is at least unexposed at this trip.
Back in the groove last time, when finding this trip within range; player.
2
5th (2) Savrola (7/1 +13%)
Savrola

7
7/1(+13%)
(2) Savrola 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 12/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. Solid each-way claims off the same mark.
Consistent on the AW but enjoyed the run of the race latest and needs to find a bit more.
12
6th (12) Tabuk (25/1 -39%)
Tabuk

25
25/1(-39%)
(12) Tabuk 25/1, Third of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (8f, soft) 30 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut and sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to take this.
Dundalk maiden winner over this trip in the spring; better back in cheekpieces last time.
6
7th (6) Victory (11/2 +45%)
Victory

5.5
11/2(+45%)
(6) Victory 11/2, 50/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. Good second off a 1 lb higher mark over 12.4f on sole previous visit here in July, so there's certainly cause for optimism.
Leading claims on July's second here but inconsistent since; others are preferred.

Radetsky Marsch

18/1(+45%)
(3) Radetsky Marsch 18/1, Winner at Kempton in April. Last of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 25/1) 26 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere on this occasion.
Three poor efforts on turf since a comeback win on Polytrack; never looked happy last time.
7
9th (7) Forest Demon (14/1 +22%)
Forest Demon

14
14/1(+22%)
(7) Forest Demon 14/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Rain-softened ground may have been behind his latest effort; should do better.
10
10th (10) Ring Fenced (250/1 -279%)
Ring Fenced

250
250/1(-279%)
(10) Ring Fenced 250/1, 150/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way now returned to the AW.
Has struggled in two runs back from a break for this yard; can't be recommended.
1
11th (1) Flying Scotsman (100/1 -400%)
Flying Scotsman

100
100/1(-400%)
(1) Flying Scotsman 100/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 26 days ago, best work finish. Makes tapeta debut and, having slipped back to the mark of which he scored for Joseph O'Brien at Listowel last year, he's dangerous to completely discount.
Goes without headgear and this trip is a bare minimum on his Tapeta debut.
9
12th (9) Sense Of Worth (100/1 -25%)
Sense Of Worth

100
100/1(-25%)
(9) Sense Of Worth 100/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 10 in handicap at this course (12.4f, 50/1) 18 days ago. Readily passed over.
Has struggled badly for his new yard and has it all to prove currently.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Oh So Grand was narrowly denied by a well-handicapped rival at Epsom last time and must be respected, but a chance is taken on BOLDLY. The son of Galileo, who showed signs of ability across his qualifying runs, ought to prove better than an opening mark of 74 and it would come as no surprise to see one from this yard make an immediate impact now switched to handicaps. Others to note include Savrola and Tabuk.

It could be worth chancing VICTORY, who hasn't been at his best in recent starts but would have a serious chance if reproducing the form of his effort here in July. Whitefeathersfall will also be a big player if the addition of a visor works the oracle and he is second choice ahead of Oh So Grand, who went close at Epsom last time and still has low mileage.

This looks good for the lightly raced, progressive OH SO GRAND, who showed the right attitude when nabbed close home at Epsom latest.

18
18/1(-29%)
(3) Blanchland 18/1, Course winner. 14/1, tailed-off last of 6 to Tregony in listed race at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Needs to get back on track now pitched into a handicap.
Struggled badly in two runs this year and has plenty to prove.
12
2nd (12) Wynter Wildes (28/1 -75%)
Wynter Wildes

28
28/1(-75%)
(12) Wynter Wildes 28/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft, 13/2) 27 days ago. This is much tougher and she's 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
3-3 under Mikkel Mortensen; this is tougher from 4lb wrong but shouldn't be underestimated.
5
3rd (5) Wootton'Sun (18/1 -80%)
Wootton'Sun

18
18/1(-80%)
(5) Wootton'Sun 18/1, Latest win at Haydock in July. 5/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 53 days ago. Has otherwise done very little wrong this season and no surprise were he to bounce back. Yard also saddles Southern Voyage.
Said to have run flat last time; will need a career best on just his second AW start.
2
4th (2) Haunted Dream (4/1 +50%)
Haunted Dream

4
4/1(+50%)
(2) Haunted Dream 4/1, Creditable eighth of 34 in handicap (20/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Going back up in trip won't hurt and he's 4-6 on the AW. Bold show anticipated.
Has a much better strike-rate on the AW (4-6) than turf (1-16) and needs considering.
8
5th (8) Onesmoothoperator (7/1 -40%)
Onesmoothoperator

7
7/1(-40%)
(8) Onesmoothoperator 7/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable 3 lengths seventh of 12 to Valsad in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/2) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Place possibilities.
Will always need some luck, which he didn't get behind Valsad last time; ought to go well.
10
6th (10) Capital Theory (11/1 -10%)
Capital Theory

11
11/1(-10%)
(10) Capital Theory 11/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Won 9-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good, 12/1) 24 days ago, well positioned. Remains on a workable mark up 4 lb and should make his presence felt.
Good record in AW handicaps; 4lb rise for recent turf win sees him up to career-high mark.
7
7th (7) Valsad (4/1 +43%)
Valsad

4
4/1(+43%)
(7) Valsad 4/1, Latest win at Southwell in September. Last of 7 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, heavy, 3/1) 24 days ago. Perhaps the conditions were against him there and he's unexposed on the AW, so he's not discounted.
Heavy ground against him latest; best judged on previous Tapeta win; should fare better.
6
8th (6) Omniscient (7/1 +13%)
Omniscient

7
7/1(+13%)
(6) Omniscient 7/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 45 days ago. Eased 3 lb since but others make more appeal all the same.
String of excuses for defeats this time round and should do better back on Tapeta.
9
9th (9) Southern Voyage (25/1 -14%)
Southern Voyage

25
25/1(-14%)
(9) Southern Voyage 25/1, C&D winner. 12/1, first run since leaving Archie Watson when last of 10 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Wootton'Sun appears to be the stable No 1.
Entitled to have needed his recent comeback from a year off for new yard; can do better.
1
10th (1) Military March (11/4 +17%)
Military March

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(1) Military March 11/4, 11/8, eighth of 11 to Lord Glitters in Singspiel Stakes at Meydan (9f, good) when last seen in January 2021 (gelded since). Very promising prior to that (2-2 at 2 yrs and fourth in 2000 Guineas on sole 3-y-o start) and fascinating candidate now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
Has a touch of class (fourth in the 2020 2,000 Guineas) but not seen in almost three years.
11
11th (11) Sir Chauvelin (33/1 -65%)
Sir Chauvelin

33
33/1(-65%)
(11) Sir Chauvelin 33/1, Four-time C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in September. 12/1, creditable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Capital Theory in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable.
Three-time C&D winner who stays further; not as good as he was but he is about to turn 12.
4
12th (4) Stowell (50/1 -79%)
Stowell

50
50/1(-79%)
(4) Stowell 50/1, 33/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when last of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 45 days ago, not knocked about. Makes tapeta debut and probably best watched.
Finished last back from a break five weeks ago and it's hard to build up much enthusiasm.
LTO Selection:

16:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It might be telling that Godolphin have opted to keep MILITARY MARCH, who has not been sighted on a racecourse since finishing down the field in a Group 2 at Meydan in January 2021, in training. The market may prove the best guide to his chances today, but the talented son of New Approach could be worth chancing from a lofty weight. Wynter Wildes merits consideration from the opposite end of the handicap, while Capital Theory, Haunted Dream and Sir Chauvelin are just a few others to note.

It could be significant that connections are persevering with MILITARY MARCH, who looked so promising earlier in his career and while plenty needs to be taken on trust following such a lengthy spell on the sidelines (and tackling a new surface/trip), he would be thrown in off this mark on his handicap debut if anywhere near his best. Haunted Dream and Wootton'Sun have both performed admirably well in strong handicaps this season and rate the main dangers. Capital Theory completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to OMNISCIENT, who hasn't had much luck since a solid comeback. 2020 2,000 Guineas fourth Military March is a threat.

1st (2) Reel Prospect (12/1 -71%)
Reel Prospect

12
12/1(-71%)
(2) Reel Prospect 12/1, Fair form when third on Nottingham debut in spring 2022 but not seen again until a well-held fourth over C&D 15 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for the run.
Beaten 10l here recently after an absence and will need to improve on that.
3
2nd (3) Ciara Pearl (11/2 -38%)
Ciara Pearl

5.5
11/2(-38%)
(3) Ciara Pearl 11/2, Twice-raced winner. Second on Bath debut in July before going one better on AW at Lingfield (1m) 12 days ago. The form is nothing special but there should be more to come.
It was a modest novice she won at Lingfield but she has some scope.
7
3rd (7) Rogue Warrior (9/2 -80%)
Rogue Warrior

4.5
9/2(-80%)
(7) Rogue Warrior 9/2, Promising second on 1¼m Windsor debut in June. Not in quite the same form when third over the same trip at Bath in July but her absence suggests something may have come to light. Retains potential now dropping in trip on AW debut.
Twice placed over 1m2f during the summer and this isn't a strong race.

11-4 for a modest 1m AW maiden and finished close up despite signs of inexperience.

(8) Madam Florence 50/1, Sent off at 8/1 when eighth of 10 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut in July 2022. Not seen since.
Beaten about 12l in 7f novice in July 2022; best watched on belated reappearance.

Storm And Conquest

(4) Storm And Conquest 85/40, New Approach gelding. Brother to very smart winner up to 12.5f Loxley and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Forest Maiden. Newcomer who makes obvious paper appeal.
Well bred; gelded ahead of belated debut and the market can guide.

125-1 when tailed off at Carlisle after losing lengths at the start; best watched for now.

Hutcheson

50
50/1(-100%)
(1) Hutcheson 50/1, Well held in a couple of bumpers for James Owen. Now switches to the Flat for George Boughey with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue strap. Could only consider if backed.
Tailed off in two bumpers for James Owen (tongue tied for both).
LTO Selection:

17:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

FLICKERING FLAME shaped with significant promise on her debut three weeks ago, finishing third, and natural improvement might be enough to see James Tates' filly strike at the second time of asking. Ciara Pearl merits respect, but the penalty incurred for her recent success will make things tougher. Storm And Conquest makes more than enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of his first start.

The Crisford stable has a very healthy strike-rate here so it might be worth chancing well-bred newcomer STORM AND CONQUEST, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Fellow Newmarket raiders Rogue Warrior and Flickering Flame may give him most to do.

It could pay to take a chance on the newcomer STORM AND CONQUEST, with whom his top connections have persevered.

(4) Likeashadow 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, eighth of 11 on C&D nursery debut 28 days but there was money for him that day, suggesting connections think he's capable of better.

Goldmine Girl looks his stable's number one but wouldn't be without hope in a weak race.

11/2(-10%)
(2) Socialise 11/2, 8/1 and cheekpieces on first time, bit below form fourth of 10 in nursery at this course (6f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip.
Trainer 0-80 with 2yos this season; this exposed maiden holds no more than each-way claims.
11
5th (11) Goldmine Girl (9/1 -38%)
Goldmine Girl

9
9/1(-38%)
(11) Goldmine Girl 9/1, Modest form. Creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (5/1) at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago, fading after making the running, suggesting this return to 7f may suit. Makes tapeta debut. One of the more likely types.
Didn't see out 1m last time and holds decent claims in a weak nursery.

One of three saddled by Craig Lidster; worth a look in the market in first-time headgear.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SUPREME TENACITY has posted some creditable efforts in defeat beyond a mile of late and the Invincible Army gelding appears to have been found a suitable opportunity, on the drop to 7f, to gain a breakthrough success. Socialise should appreciate a return to this trip having been outpaced when fourth at this venue over 6f recently and warrants consideration, along with Goldmine Girl, who arrives in better form than most.

In a race where solid form is thin on the ground the vote goes to SUPREME TENACITY, who has been placed in similar company in recent weeks, including on AW. Goldmine Girl is another who has shown she can be competitive from her mark and the drop back to 7f may help her. Northern Cracksman is bred to be a bit better than a basement mark and is one to keep an eye on in the betting back from wind surgery.

An ultra-weak nursery can go to SUPREME TENACITY, who's improved for cheekpieces going on. Goldmine Girl rates the main danger.

Finally off the mark over C&D 11 days ago; far from certain to repeat the dose upped 4lb.

Has done most recent racing over 7f but is fine at this trip; is one to consider.

Landed his third C&D win of the year, and fourth in total, a fortnight ago; played up 3lb.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MR HEINZ relished the sharper test when appearing to win with something in hand over C&D earlier in the month and the four-year-old should take all the stopping off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Pop Favorite also won over this track and trip in October and the gelded son of Fastnet Rock should give another good account of himself. In-form duo Royal Prospect and Bold Territories shouldn't be far away in their current vein of form either.

BOLD TERRITORIES shaped as though his turn is near when third over this C&D 3 weeks ago, coming from much further back than the two that beat him, and he looks the way to go off a 1 lb lower mark. Next on the list is Pop Favorite, who enhanced his good record at this track when getting the better of the re-opposing Royal Prospect recently. The latter is likely to be in the thick of things once again, too, while Mr Heinz, also a C&D winner recently, is another to consider.

Three-time course winner ROYAL PROSPECT is taken to turn things round with Pop Favorite in a race that could be run to suit.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Goldsmith has displayed enough promise on his last few outings to suggest that another victory shouldn't be far away, but Alice Haynes' inmate may have to play second fiddle to the progressive PORT ERIN. The three-year-old posted a career-best performance when landing the spoils at Kempton on Wednesday and he won with enough authority on that occasion to suggest that he can defy a combined 7lb higher rating in this event. C&D winner Southwold may fare best of the remaining protagonists.

KING TRITON went off too hard at York last time so is worth another chance to build on his previous efforts off a tempting mark. Goldsmith and Port Erin head the dangers.

It's hard to take on PORT ERIN (nap), who's done nothing but improve in recent times. Irish Flame is another with claims.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, ELETTARIA has been in excellent form of late and he is taken to follow up off a mere 3lb higher mark. The daughter of Mehmas gets the vote ahead of the capable Cosa Sara and Clotherholme, who ran well to finish third over C&D last time out and is 7lb below his last winning rating.

SEE MY BABY JIVE ran well on a rare go over 7f here 3 weeks ago and could be worth chancing in the hope she gets a decent pace to aim at, a comment which also applies to Elettaria, who scored readily at the same meeting. Clotherholme is another to consider.

She'll need a solid gallop to chase but ELETTARIA seems more likely to give her running than most of these.

LTO Selection:

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

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

BENEFICIARY didn't get the clearest of runs at Musselburgh before staying on late to finish fifth and it may be that stepping back up in trip can eke out some improvement. The booking of Daniel Tudhope catches the eye and he is narrowly preferred to Deputise, who should appreciate a return to the all-weather, having won at Southwell in August. Doon The Glen ran a decent race over C&D last time out and must enter calculations, along with Eyes and Jazzagal.

BENEFICIARY wasn't seen to best effect once more at Musselburgh last time and looks on the way back from a tumbling mark. He's got some good runs here to his name and can resume winning ways. Fircombe Hall is a 3-time C&D winner now 4 lb below his last successful mark and could be dangerous. Eyes is another to consider.

LTO Selection:

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

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

A determined winner over C&D on his penultimate start, BLACKCURRENT may not have been suited by dropping back to the minimum trip subsequently but he still ran with plenty of credit in second. The seven-year-old can make it two wins from his last three starts tonight, with Aclaim To Fame looking best placed to chase him home following a strong effort on his first run for new connections at Catterick. Guest List and Wrenegade Lad are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

BLACKCURRENT has compiled a very good record at Newcastle so makes plenty of appeal in his quest for a seventh course win. Aclaim To Fame made a sound start for Mark Walford at Catterick a fortnight ago and she's feared most.
