(6) Bicep 4/1, C&D winner in October. 7/2, went like the best horse at the weights but was stretched by the longer trip when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 8 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back at 7f.

LTO Selection:

11:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Honour Your Dreams ran with plenty of credit when runner-up over 5f here earlier in the month and he is a strong contender, as he takes a notable step up in distance. However, GOBI SUNSET looks the way to go after his victory off 5lb lower over C&D last month. The son of Oasis Dream was making his first start for the Iain Jardine stable on that occasion and he could show a new lease of life now that he has switched yards. Liamarty Dreams takes a drop in grade and has to be considered in this sort of company.

A tricky opener to solve but preference is for BICEP, who travelled like a dream before finding his stamina running dry over 1m here last week so, now dropping back in trip, Grant Tuer's 4-y-o can resume winning ways at the expense of Kalganov, who has his first start for Michael Dods and can shrug off a lesser effort at York last month. Honour Your Dreams and the consistent Ayr Poet can battle out minor honours.

Grant Tuer's BICEP travelled like one still ahead of his mark over 1m here last week and can prove the point back 7f.

LTO Selection:

12:15 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Eulace Peacock sets the standard with an official rating of 77 and was far from disgraced in third at Newmarket last month, so he is likely to be a player. However, he may have to give best to the 360,000-euro purchase ALTMORE, who is a well-bred son of Showcasing and related to plenty of winners. He is aided by the cracking form of the William Haggas yard at present and the stable won both divisions of this race in 2021. Any market support for Noisy Music on her first start would also be of interest.

EULACE PEACOCK isn't progressing but he sets a decent standard and his experience should count for plenty. Altmore and Sherman Tank are a couple of newcomers who proved popular at the sales so both are potential threats.

Eulace Peacock brings the best form but he's taken on with interesting alternative JACKSON STREET.

Weakened over 7f here last week (stable debut); return to 6f is worth exploring.

(4) Good Point 17/2, Fourth of 6 in nursery at Nottingham (5f, soft, 2/1) 24 days ago, rallying final 1f. Step up in trip looks sure to suit so he's worth a second look making all-weather debut.
Holds every chance if he shows any improvement for this new scenario.
LTO Selection:

12:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Beyond Borders justified favouritism when completing a double at Pontefract last time and holds an obvious chance off a 5lb higher mark on his return to the all-weather. However, the less-exposed MASTER OF MY FATE gets the vote, as he was only denied by a neck at Lingfield in his attempt to follow up his debut victory at Pontefract. The son of Footstepsinthesand now makes his nursery debut off a mark of 83, which could prove lenient with further progress expected. Good Point has recorded some solid efforts recently and can fight it out for the minor honours.

Cases can be made for several but at forecast longer odds it could pay to side with BULMER BANK, who wasn't seen to best effect in a falsely-run race when fourth on nursery debut at York 7 weeks ago and, dropping in grade, he should have more to offer making his all-weather debut. Beyond Borders arrives in top form so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Good Point and Master of My Fate.

There should be more to come from twice-raced colt MASTER OF MY FATE, who gets the vote ahead of Callianassa.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

It looks best to side with the Charlie Appleby-trained VEIL OF SHADOWS, who fared best of the Godolphin pair last time, finishing a good second in the Pride Stakes at Newmarket. The unexposed daughter of Frankel should have more in the locker and she can go one better now down in class. Sound Angela is 3-4 on all-weather and won well on her only previous visit to this track, while stable companion Mukaddamah is noted too.

VEIL OF SHADOWS got back on the up when second at Newmarket last month and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Sound Angela and Mukaddamah head the list of dangers.

If VEIL OF SHADOWS can back up her improved second in a Group 3 at Newmarket last time she might prove the answer to this Listed race.

Four AW runs, winning over 6f as 2yo; fair 2022 reappearance in Group 3 over C&D.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

SENSE OF DUTY wasn't able to land a blow in the Champions' Sprint at Ascot, but last June's Chipchase success over this C&D lives fresh in the memory and it would be no surprise to see William Haggas' filly post an improved performance back on the Tapeta. Brad The Brief makes plenty of appeal, but he might struggle to concede 5lb to the selection, while Albasheer also makes some appeal.

ALBASHEER has built a fine record in top-level handicaps since joining Archie Watson and is fancied to make a successful transition to listed company. Sense of Duty hasn't really been given the opportunity to show what she is capable of in a limited campaign this season, but was so impressive when winning the Chipchase here last season that she can't be ruled out, whilst Stewards' Cup winner Aberama Gold is also a player.

It's likely to be game over if SENSE OF DUTY is the same filly who won a C&D Group 3 last June. Testing ground may have been against her

Too Darn Hot half-brother to two winners; check the betting.
LTO Selection:

14:40 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Zoumoon sets the form standard, having posted back-to-back second, and although she's respected, a chance can be taken on LION'S HOUSE. The son of Oasis Dream is related to a couple of useful types, who were both successful on the all-weather. Roger Varian has a healthy strike-rate with his juveniles on artificial surfaces and a high draw is a further positive. Harry Did is also noted following an encouraging Kempton debut.

An interesting maiden. HARRY DID seemed to get the hang of things late on debut and is fancied to build upon the positive impression he created there. Zoumoon is also highly respected but may find one too good for the third consecutive outing, with Roger Varian's newcomer Lion's House and Karl Burke's once-raced Wait And Hope others for the shortlist.

The shortlist is headed by the similar types HARRY DID and Wait And Hope in that order of preference. Zoumoon is third choice.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A commendable third in last year's Chipchase Stakes on his only previous run on the all-weather, BIELSA is an attractive proposition off 2lb lower than his most recent outing in a valuable York handicap. The Kevin Ryan-trained gelding has also fared well with the draw and could have things set up nicely for him to fly at the finish, if his old rival Gweedore runs his usual race from the front. Gisburn and Monsieur Kodi are another closely-matched pair fancied to be on the premises.

GISBURN has fewer miles on the clock this season than most of his rivals and has been proving as good as ever this autumn, so he looks the one to beat ahead of Monsieur Kodi, who finished only a head behind the selection when they met at Goodwood last month. Brewing rates as an interesting runner dropping back to 6f for only his fifth career start and could well prove capable of better.

Brewing is an unexposed lurker now back to 6f but GWEEDORE ran a mighty race in defeat at York last time and can gain compensation.

Multiple winner but it's a long time since he scored on AW; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LOCAL DYNASTY started off 2023 with a commendable third-placed finish in the Dee Stakes at Chester and, having held his own at this level twice since, he appeals strongly returning to action at this stage of the campaign. Gelded during his break, the son of Dubawi still has bags of scope or improvement and a good performance here can open the door to further all-weather opportunities. Chillingham is another open to further progression, while Euchen Glenn is admirably tough and may represents some value for a place in the fame.

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap, tradtionally staged at Doncaster. MR ALAN has raised his game under testing conditions on turf of late and, if able to perform to a similar level back on the all-weather, he could be the answer. Teumessias Fox is 2-4 on synthetics and is capable of a bold show back from a break, while Chillingham, Godolphin's Local Dynasty and Mustazeed are others to consider.

Judged on his spring wins, coming here fresh looks a big plus for TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap). Second choice is Chillingham.

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.
