16:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Four-year-olds have won four of the five runnings of this race and they may add to that tally here. Elshaameq could prove popular after winning at Chelmsford when getting up late and he can go well, yet LOOM LARGE is preferred. A C&D winner on his penultimate start, the gelding was then dropped back to a mile where he was beaten a head off this mark, but the added two furlongs again may be all he needs to get back to winning ways. Blue Yonder may prove best of the three-year-olds.

ELSHAAMEQ was well on top at the finish when opening his account recently at Chelmsford and he can follow up. 3-y-os Governor of India and Blue Yonder are interesting, while market support for Mick Appleby's new recruit Le Rouge Chinois would need following.

The vote goes to ELSHAAMEQ (nap) who got off the mark at Chelmsford last time. He is just 2lb higher and remains unexposed for a 4yo.

16:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ribble Radiant returned from a break with a solid third at Catterick when weakening late on over this trip and can go well for a stable in form, but he may have to give way to ENPASSANT on this occasion. James Fanshawe has his horses in great form of late, and the Starspangledbanner gelding was beaten less than a length last time out at Lingfield despite a slow start. Only upped 1lb for that, he seems to be improving and appears to have every chance, leaving I'm Spartacus to follow them home.

Cases can be made for most but NOVELLO LAD ran well when last seen and could make a winning start for his new yard. I'm Spartacus is 2-2 at Newcastle and can feature if staying the new trip. Ribble Radiant and Vintage Love also feature on the shortlist.

Quite an open nursery. I'M SPARTACUS seems to run this track particularly well and was good value for his latest win.

17:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With the Tim Easterby string in fine fettle, the once-raced Monks Dream could improve here, though he needs to take a big step up from his debut to take a hand. Bumblebee Bullet ran green on her Newmarket debut and should be a different proposition here, and she may prove the biggest danger to BELLASIO. Second here on his only start over a furlong further, even a repeat of that may be enough to win in this company.

BELLASIO found only another promising newcomer too good first time up here 5 weeks ago and could be the way to go with improvement likely. He's preferred to Gundogan, who can bounce back switched to AW having run well on debut at Redcar. Monks Dream may last longer than he did at York.

This can go to BELLASIO who finished runner-up on his debut here last month. Dropping a furlong looks to be in his favour.

17:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CUSACK found the drop in class to his liking when recently regaining the winning thread over C&D and a 1lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to thwart the five-year-old from completing a double. The returning Pink Parfait is a potential improver now upped to a mile and Grant Tuer's filly isn't taken lightly. She may give the selection most to ponder, ahead of the in-form Urban Road.

PINK PARFAIT arrives on the back of an 8-month absence but she again shaped well, not least with a view to stepping up to this trip when third over 7f here back in March and it could just be worth siding with Grant Tuer's filly given she's less exposed than most she meets here. In-form pair Cusack and Urban Road head up the dangers, with Rocket Rod also worth keeping an eye on from his easing mark.

The vote goes to URBAN ROAD who has gained his last two successes over C&D, while the returning visor may be another positive.

18:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ANNALEE LASS probably wasn't best suited by the soft ground when finishing third at Leicester in late-July and Peter Niven's filly makes plenty of appeal now reverting to the all-weather. The daughter of Gutaifan could take some stopping if replicating her penultimate second at Wolverhampton earlier that month and she may get the better of Antagonize. The seven-year-old is best excused his latest disappointing over C&D after hitting his head on the stalls. Iconique is also worth a second look.

A decidedly trappy handicap with a chance taken on ICONIQUE. Not at her best on her latest outing at Southwell (21.1f) 3 weeks ago, it's interesting connections opt for the marked drop back in trip here and the booking of Oisin Murphy very much catches the eye. Analee Lass and Antagonize are a couple of others to consider.

C&D winner ANNALEE LASS looks the one to beat if ready to go after three months off.

18:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

COPPER MOUNTAIN posted her best effort of the season when a close-up second over C&D earlier this month and a 2lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to prevent the Sir Percy filly from getting her head in front here. Billy McGarry was unable to justify favouritism on his fifth-placed effort in a classified stakes contest at Beverley last month, but better is expected now reverting to Tapeta. Calleveryoneuknow and Revoquable enter calculations too.

ROYAL PROSPECT shaped as if still in good form (travelled well) when seventh here last time and might be capable of getting his head back in front now. Recent C&D runner-up Copper Mountain is second choice ahead of Keeponbelieving, who is capable of playing a prominent role if reacting well to first-time blinkers.

The vote goes to triple course winner ROYAL PROSPECT who only found one too good over C&D on his penultimate start.

19:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Leadman ran well on both starts as a juvenile with second places at Newmarket and Newbury, but the form hasn't worked out that well, and he is having his first start in over a year following a gelding operation. Andrew Balding's charge is entitled to be in the mix, but DOLCE COURAGE should have a fitness advantage. The winner of his only start at Southwell earlier this month by a short-head, he can only improve for that experience and may be able to give weight away all round. Crown Board is an interesting newcomer who may challenge for the places.

LEADMAN ran to a good level when runner-up on both starts last summer and can overcome his long absence and make it third time lucky under Oisin Murphy. Southwell debut winner Dolce Courage is the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomer Crown Board.

Leadman is the one to beat on form but he has an absence to overcome and DOLCE COURAGE may be able to give the weight away.

19:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Athollblair Boy is a standing dish here with nine wins here dating back to 2017, but he is now 10 and he may have to settle for a place for now. Snash continues to slip down the handicap and drops in class after a ninth at Doncaster, but the narrowest vote goes to BELLA KOPELLA. Fifth but beaten less than two lengths here over shorter, she races off 2lb lower now and as a three-year-old, there may be improvement to come.

The Tim Easterby-trained duo SNASH and Misty Blues have both slipped to very dangerous marks and it would be no surprise were one of them to pop up here. The latter has the most to prove on the back of a tame all-weather debut here last month, whereas Snash is 2-3 on synthetics (and 2-2 here), which tilts the scales firmly in his favour. Bella Kopella wasn't beaten far off a 2 lb higher mark here last time and is third choice ahead of Asadjumeirah, Carlton And Co and Water of Leith.

The form of the race in which BELLA KOPELLA finished fifth here last time has worked out well and she can gain a third course win.

20:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Blackcurrent brings consistency to the table after four top three finishes since August, but they have not gone unnoticed and he races off his highest mark since March. He can still go close in this line-up but may struggle to give 5lb to KASINO. Only beaten a head here in a similar race earlier this month when caught close home, he races off 1lb more which may be pretty generous. Eyes has more to do off her new mark, but is another who could get involved where it matters.

SYDNEY BAY and Kasino were the first two home in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago and a repeat could be on the cards. The former was making his debut for Geoffrey Harker on the back of a four-month break and is taken to again emerge on top having been raised just 2 lb. Blackcurrent has been in good form of late and is likely to be on the premises once more, while Eyes, who scored on the same card here as the selection two weeks ago, is also shortlisted.

Blackcurrent and Brother Dave are respected but SYDNEY BAY overcame some trouble to win over C&D and is taken to follow up.

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.
