Ambiente Amigo

0.25
1/4(+38%)
(5) Ambiente Amigo 1/4, Useful performer on Flat over middle distances, probably failed to get home upped in trip last time. In very good hands and this looks a gilt-edged opportunity if taking adequately to hurdling with a hood back on.
Won twice, also made the frame three times in Listed company on the Flat; hurdles debut..

Fine Point

16
16/1(-129%)
(1) Fine Point 16/1, Fair maiden at up to 10.5f on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Joined a stable which has tasted plenty of juvenile hurdle success over the years and he's entitled to step up on opening effort in this sphere.
Raced freely on hurdle debut at Sedgefield and needs to learn to settle.

(4) Trafalgar Square 20/1, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in juvenile at Market Rasen in June. Pretty disappointing in both codes since, however.
Second on hurdling debut at Market Rasen in June but well beaten in two starts since..

Didn't show much on the Flat and has something to prove now hurdling.

13:15 Newcastle Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Fine Point is entitled to build on his opening bid in this sphere when fourth at Sedgefield at the beginning of the month, but it is hard to look past the smart Flat performer AMBIENTE AMIGO. James Owen's filly has posted several creditable efforts in defeat on the level in recent months and she should take all the beating if transferring that ability to hurdles. Roi De Baviere is also worth a second look tackling timber for the first time.

AMBIENTE AMIGO is a different class to these based on her Flat form and getting weight all round, an adequate round of jumping will surely suffice now hurdling. Fine Point could be the one for the forecast.

This looks to be an ideal opportunity for AMBIENTE AMIGO to make a winning hurdling debut at the chief expense of Roi De Baviere.

Skyjack Hijack

0.285714
2/7(+57%)
(3) Skyjack Hijack 2/7, Arrives very much on the up and he impressively completed a hat-trick in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and he's the one to beat.
Unpenalised for his latest win, suggesting it will be very tough to deny him a four-timer..

Ran out latest and cheekpieces are now added to a tongue-tie as she steps up in trip..

Thorough stayer who has been below par since a wide-margin chase win in July..

(2) Velasco 18/1, Thrived towards the end of last season, winning three times, and shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when fourth of 8 in 23f Hexham handicap 19 days ago. Can take a step forward.
Should be better for reappearance but still needs to improve on his hurdles form to win..

10lb higher than latest Perth win and likely to be playing for a place back over hurdles..

(5) Del La Mar Rocket 150/1, Landed a Ffos Las maiden hurdle in February 2022 but largely held back by his jumping over hurdles and fences for Ben Pauling since. First outing for new yard after 9 months off with lots to prove.
Bumper and 2m6f hurdle winner; changed hands for £2,000; best watched for new yard.

13:45 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Having destroyed his rivals in a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Aintree on Sunday, SKYJACK HIJACK is sure to prove a warm order off an unchanged mark. That was the third consecutive victory for the six-year-old and a four-timer looks likely if coping with a quick turnaround. Velasco was progressive over hurdles last season and he should strip fitter for his fourth-placed reappearance at Hexham earlier this month. Susan Corbett's gelding could serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Mrs Tabitha.

SKYJACK HIJACK is impossible to oppose given he can race off the same mark as when a facile scorer at Aintree only four days ago. Jeteye appeals as the one to chase home Jennie Candlish's improver ahead of Steps Match.

Barring disasters, this looks a very good opportunity for the progressive SKYJACK HIJACK to add another win to his CV.

Sayva

1/1(+33%)
(8) Sayva 1/1, Proved a different proposition to debut when winning 11-runner bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good) back in June. Encouraging start to hurdling when third at Sedgefield 22 days ago and can improve enough to open his account.
Bumper winner; fair 3rd on hurdles debut earlier this month; should improve; every chance.

Modest form in two bumpers; fair fourth at 150-1 on hurdles debut and improvement likely.

Athair Mor

8/1(+43%)
(1) Athair Mor 8/1, Brother to useful 11f-1¾m winner Glen Savage. Dam, ran twice on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 2½m) Percussionist. Decent-enough page and warrants a market check on hurdling debut.
£3,000 4yo; brother to useful Glen Savage; has had two wind ops; best watched on debut.

Iorangi De L'isle

(3) Iorangi De L'isle 7/4, Won completed start in Irish points. Shaped with promise in a Catterick bumper and best effort to date when third in a novice at Kelso on recent return. Solid claims if he's in the same form.
Irish point winner; has finished third in a bumper and two novice hurdles; contender.

Leader Wing

14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Leader Wing 14/1, Left debut form behind as he got off the mark in 10-runner bumper at Sedgefield in May. First run since leaving Tom Weston when a low-key sixth at Sedgefield 22 days ago. Needs to step up on that.
Bought for £9,000 after bumper win in May; well beaten on hurdles debut but should improve.

Burglar's Dream

16

(5) Burglar's Dream 16/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, below form last two starts. Up against it switched to hurdling.
0-15 on the Flat but placed four times (best at 1m2f); quite interesting on jumps debut.

14:15 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

IORANGI DE L'ISLE offered much more encouragement on his reappearance when finishing third at Kelso earlier this month. This contest might not take that much winning and a similar performance from Donald McCain's charge may prove sufficient. The biggest threat may emerge from Sayva, who hit the frame on his hurdles bow at Sedgefield recently. Devon Skies is a possible danger if improving her jumping and she completes the shortlist.

Bumper winner SAYVA should have learned plenty from his hurdling debut and he's likely to improve enough to get the better of Iorangi de L'Isle, who sets the standard at this point. Devon Skies isn't without hope.

This looks a good opportunity for SAYVA to get off the mark over hurdles. Iorangi de L'Isle looks his main danger.

Flic Ou Voyou

3.5
7/2(+0%)
(3) Flic Ou Voyou 7/2, Eight-time winner of various race-types for Paul Nicholls and while it was a struggle initially for this yard, he has rediscovered his shooting boots the last twice. Ultimately did too much too soon on the elongated run for home at Kelso (21.6f, good) on latest start and he's a big player.
Has run well on last two starts, notably when second last time and is worth considering.

Boomslang

1.625
13/8(+19%)
(2) Boomslang 13/8, Maiden hurdle winner in June and delivered an extremely polished round of jumping when successful on chase debut at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) earlier this month. Mark for handicap debut in this sphere demands improvement but he almost certainly has more to offer as a chaser.
Three wins in 2024, the latest on chase debut at Downpatrick; should progress; chance.
4
3rd (4) Backbyjet (10/3 +26%)
Backbyjet

3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(4) Backbyjet 10/3, Recently made it 3-7 over fences at Hexham (2½m, soft) where he proved ½-length too strong for the re-opposing Coqolino (1 lb pull), again displaying a willing attitude. That fighting spirit will likely stand him in good stead once more but this demands a new personal best.
Improved with cheekpieces, winning three out of last four, all over 2m4f; one to consider.

Special Dragon

6
6/1(+14%)
(6) Special Dragon 6/1, Improved sent handicapping over hurdles, runner-up either side of success at Ludlow (21.2f, good) in April. Showed aptitude for this job when eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Southwell at the beginning of this month and she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time.
Won mares' handicap hurdle in April; well beaten on chase debut; should do better.
5
|F| (5) Hold Onto The Line (15/2 +38%)
Hold Onto The Line

7.5
15/2(+38%)
(5) Hold Onto The Line 15/2, Fortunate to land his fourth success (15.8f, soft) at Musselburgh in January, looking held when left in front 2 out. However, yet to win away from that course and subsequent display at Carlisle lacked spark. Cheekpieces refitted.
Capable but inconsistent; last win was over 2m but stays 2m4f; could go well.

14:45 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FLIC OU VOYOU was only collared late over an extended 2m5f at Kelso last month and this in-form gelding looks primed to offer another bold bid. Coqolino is feared most after a good second over 2m4f at Hexham earlier this month and, off 1lb better terms, he can reverse form with the reopposing winner Backbyjet. Boomslang is another to consider.

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to FLIC OU VOYOU, who proved that his Uttoxeter effort in July (dead-heated at odds of 66/1 but subsequently demoted to second) was no flash in the pan when going close at Kelso last time. He remains well-handicapped based on his exploits when in the care of Paul Nicholls and has conditions in his favour. There was much to like about the chase debut success of Boomslang and he is feared most ahead of Coqolino.

Preference is for BOOMSLANG who won in good style on his chase debut and should make further progress. Backbyjet is next best.

15:15 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f  Race Class Flow

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

CAWTHORNE CRACKER was well in command when falling at the last over 2m1f at Sedgefield earlier this month and with a clear round of jumping, he looks primed to return to winning ways. The five-year-old will have to defy a 9lb hike but that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Grifter looks the biggest danger after a decent second over 2m at Perth in September, while Balranald heads the remainder.

CHICAGO GAL shaped as if back in form on her most recent Flat outing and gets the tentative vote to notch a second win over hurdles. Purple Gown isn't straightforward but potentially has a bit more to offer as a hurdler, especially when the emphasis is on speed. Cawthorne Cracker had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last at Sedgefield just over 3 weeks ago and warrants plenty of respect, also.

This can go to CAWTHORNE CRACKER who has improved for wind surgery and can make amends for his unlucky fall at Sedgefield last time.

15:45 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

CHEMICAL WARFARE travelled strongly into contention before recording an emphatic success at Sedgefield earlier this month. David Pipe's gelding, now four from 10 over fences, might still have more in the locker and an 8lb rise could prove lenient. Jimli's Island found only one too strong at Hexham recently and is likely to be on the premises again, while Lady Mendoza, who lacked fluency on her chasing debut last time, could step forward with that run under her belt.

JIMLI'S ISLAND has done little wrong for his new yard and will appreciate the step back up in trip after his solid effort at Hexham earlier this month. He gets the nod. Chemical Warfare and Ginger Pointe rate the principal dangers.

16:15 Newcastle NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Second in a point-to-point in March, CITY OF DIAMONDS represents a trainer/jockey combination that often do well around here and market support ahead of his Rules debut would be noteworthy. Travis Wheatley has tasted success between the flags and he must be considered on his NH bow, along with Masterpiece. The latter stepped up on his racecourse debut when not beaten far into third at Sedgefield latest and there could be more come.

This can go to a newcomer, with CITY OF DIAMONDS selected over Kids Say Lastgojoe and Travis Wheatley before any betting clues.

Irish point second CITY OF DIAMONDS represents a top team and he gets the vote ahead of Travis Wheatley.

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.
