Inappropriate

5.5
11/2(+54%)
(1) Inappropriate 11/2, Fairly useful on Flat, good second in pursuit of hat-trick at Pontefract (10f, heavy) just under 6 weeks ago. Has since left Harry Eustace and interesting to see what the market makes of him on hurdling debut.
Consistent gelding who since July posted form figures of 223112 in 1m2f-1m4f handicaps.

Lavender Hill Mob

2/7(-114%)
(2) Lavender Hill Mob 2/7, Useful on Flat, mid-field in Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good to firm) last time. Has since left Michael Bell and appeals as a very interesting hurdling debutant (stable has an outstanding recent record with juveniles).
Classy, progressive Flat form and has reportedly schooled well.

Spartan Warrior

10/1(+60%)
(3) Spartan Warrior 10/1, Fair handicapper on Flat, won twice in 2024 for Ollie Sangster. Showed aptitude when third of 8 in juvenile at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) on hurdling debut on Thursday. Others more appealing given the quick turnaround.
1m2f/1m4f winner at an ordinary level; respectable third over hurdles on Thursday.

18/1(-50%)
(5) Global Hideaway 18/1, Masterstroke filly who was given a considerate introduction having been easy to back when fourth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft) on debut earlier this month. Should progress with that initial effort under her belt and gets 7 lb from her male rivals.
Only fourth of the seven runners at Bangor and this looks a stronger race.

11:53 Newcastle Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

James Owen often does well with his Flat recruits and LAVENDER HILL MOB could be the next cab off that rank. Rated 96 in that sphere and last seen finishing seventh in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, the Expert Eye gelding will be a tough nut to crack if transferring his ability to hurdles. Inappropriate was no slouch on the level either and he may prove the pick of the opposition, while Global Hideaway, the only contender with previous hurdling experience, heads the remaining trio.

James Owen has an outstanding recent record with his juveniles and LAVENDER HILL MOB can be the latest cab off the rank to make the successful switch to hurdling. He can get the better of sole filly Global Hideaway, who was given a considerate introduction at Bangor recently.

It's hard to see past LAVENDER HILL MOB who is held in similar regard to the yard's recent Grade 2 winner East India Dock.

Glory And Honour

3.5
7/2(+30%)
(2) Glory And Honour 7/2, Improved over fences for current yard last season and also scored on the Flat at Pontefract in October. Not disgraced when 8 lengths third of 5 over 19f at Wetherby 14 days ago.
Ran okay when beaten 8l into third at Wetherby but softer ground would be preferred.

2nd (9) Hawkseye View (8/1 +33%)
Hawkseye View

8
8/1(+33%)
(9) Hawkseye View 8/1, Winning pointer who made a perfectly satisfactory chasing debut at Wetherby last month, shaping as if better for the run on return having looked third best for a long way. Failed badly to build on that at Bangor since so difficult to know what to expect here.
Maiden after nine runs under rules and has finished down the field in both chases.

Artic Row

18
18/1(-414%)
(3) Artic Row 18/1, Successful 3 times last season (all 20.5f at Ayr). Has failed to complete on both comeback starts this autumn but was in the process of running well (yet to be asked for maximum effort) when coming down 2 out back at Ayr 17 days ago. Claims if none the worse.
Not completed the last twice but big shout if he can avoid the errors.

Whoshotthesheriff

6/1(+25%)
(7) Whoshotthesheriff 6/1, Useful chaser in his prime. Lost his way for Phil Kirby but stopped the slide for new trainer Lizzie Quinlan when 10 lengths fourth of 15 at Carlisle last month. Very well treated if he can build on that.
Ran well enough on stable debut at Carlisle (2m4f; beaten 10l) to warrant a second look.

5th (8) Shadows In The Sky (7/2 +42%)
Shadows In The Sky

3.5
7/2(+42%)
(8) Shadows In The Sky 7/2, Point winner who has scored twice over 2½m at Hexham this season, the latter success coming with a visor added (retained) 8 weeks ago. His 5 lb rise for that is offset by his rider's claim. Player.
Effectively off the same mark as for his all-the-way win at Hexham.

Five Dollar Fine

(1) Five Dollar Fine 16/1, Made it 3 wins in 4 starts when seeing off 6 rivals over 2m at Carlisle in October. Not so good when stepped back up in trip at Kelso last time, though.
Recent wins at 2m and he wasn't at his best over 2m5f last time at Kelso.

Good overall record over fences, winning three and placed in plenty; bled last time.

Step Above

4/1(+60%)
(4) Step Above 4/1, Shaped well when third on his 2½m Perth reappearance in September. On a good mark if he is able to back that up.
Competitively treated and his Perth run two months ago was encouraging.

Backbyjet

8.5

(6) Backbyjet 17/2, Has landed 3 wins over 2½m at Hexham this season but not in the same form when a well-held third over this C&D last month. His yard won the race last year.
Saves his best for Hexham and was left behind by the front two here a month ago.

12:28 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Having unseated early on at Hexham in a race won by the reopposing Backbyjet, Artic Row looked the most likely winner of a three-runner contest at Ayr before coming to grief two from home recently. Nick Alexander's gelding could go close if putting in a clean round today, but the vote goes to STEP ABOVE. He shaped with promise on his seasonal return at Perth in September, his first start following wind surgery, so it would come as no surprise were he to step forward this time around. Shadows In The Sky is another to consider.

A chance is taken on WHOSHOTTHESHERIFF, who took a step back in the right direction on his first outing for Lizzie Quinlan and is thrown in on his peak form if he can build on that. Shadows In The Sky and Step Above might give him most to do. Artic Row could also play a part assuming a recent heavy tumble at Ayr hasn't dented his confidence.

Lucinda Russell's STEP ABOVE ran a nice race at Perth and should be sharper here. Artic Row is feared most.

10/11(+48%)
(1) Skyjack Hijack 10/11, Very progressive hurdler who readily completed a 5-timer in 5-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (22f, good) 19 days ago. Much respected once again.
Had form figures of 21111 in handicaps before adding to his tally in a novice.

Smart Flat handicapper and has run well over hurdles despite retaining maiden status.

Ex-Irish Flat winner who has been consistent in defeat over hurdles.

2m novice winner; Flat ability is much respected and he should stay this far.

13:03 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

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

SKYJACK HIJACK has progressed at a rate of knots since winning at Cartmel in August. Four further victories have seen his handicap mark rise a total of 35lb and while the son of Jet Away shows no signs of slowing down, he could complete a six-timer. That said, talented Flat performer Evaluation wasn't the most fluent when making a successful hurdles debut at Ayr last month, so he could be dangerous with natural improvement. Zanndabad was last seen finishing sixth in the Irish Cesarewitch and he is respected now back hurdling.

KEPLER'S LAW shaped with a good deal of encouragement when third at Aintree 3 weeks ago and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he makes a fair amount of appeal, not least with the step up in trip promising to suit. Zanndabad remains with potential as a hurdler, while Skyjack Hijack has been thriving of late and warrants plenty of respect, also.

Skyjack Hijack will no doubt attempt to make all but ZANNDABAD is a class horse and a winner waiting to happen over hurdles.

(2) Ilikedwayurthinkin 9/4, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser at one time and has rediscovered some form, scoring twice in Cartmel handicaps i the summer and easily landing a 3-runner event at Ayr earlier this month. Definite player.
Three wins (3m1f/3m) from last four starts and he's a brother to a 3m4f winner; respected.

Made it 3 wins for the year at Kelso last time and this progressive 6yo is one to consider.

Reappeared with a win under Jack Power at Ayr and he should be fine now back up in trip.

(6) Elleon 17/2, Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning brace of handicaps at Hexham (at 3m) and in-the-frame all 5 starts since. Likely to give his running again and he's unexposed at marathon trips.
He's finished placed a lot more often than he's won but he might not be far away.

13:35 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 30f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

It may have been over a distance much shorter than this, but BREAKDANCE KID impressed when getting back to winning ways over an extended 2m5f at Kelso earlier in the month and he looks just the type to continue improving off 7lb higher. The six-year-old won over 3m at Hexham in June and gives the impression he could relish this extreme trip. Beaten a neck in the Durham National last month, Jerrash is entitled to be thereabouts again, as is the progressive Ilikedwayurthinkin, who has won three of his last four starts.

BREAKDANCE KID continues to improve and made a good impression when scoring in dominant fashion at Kelso three weeks ago. This markedly longer trip is an unknown but he's capable of going in again if he gets it. Ilikedwayurthinkin is a threat and Jerrash should give another good account.

The step up in trip could be just what JEM IN EM needs and he's well handicapped on his hurdle form.

Withdrawn from the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March (stable was under a cloud at that time) but back with a bang when landing an Aintree Grade 1 the following month. Obvious claims.

Put in his place behind Mystical Power at Aintree on final start of that campaign but looked good when landing a Ffos Las handicap on return last month. Not without each-way hope.

Didn't do much wrong when chasing home Rubaud (winner again since) back hurdling at Kempton last time but this is a big ask.

However, he was put firmly in his place when down the field in the Supreme at the Cheltenham Festival on latest start in March and big step forward needed on this return/yard debut,
Plenty to prove at this level but unexposed and still has potential; frame possibilities.

Take No Chances

20

(9) Take No Chances 20/1, Won twice during the spring and back from a break with a fine third in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f, good to soft). Subsequently bolted up back at 2m in mares' listed race at Wetherby, which represented a clear career-best. Good deal more needed if she's to win this but live each-way chance.
10l win in Listed mares' hurdle at Wetherby 4 weeks ago; e-w claims if there's 8 runners.

Successful in Grade 1s at the big Aintree and Punchestown meetings since, displaying a very good attitude on both occasions. Major player.
Won two Grade 1 novice hurdles in the spring and holds leading claims on his return.

Six-time hurdle winner but he's likely to be outclassed even if bouncing back to his best.

14:10 Newcastle Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

In the unfortunate absence of Constitution Hill, it may prove an ideal time for stablemate SIR GINO to announce himself on the big stage. An impressive three from three as a juvenile last season in Britain, including a Grade 1 success at Aintree on his latest start, the son of It's Gino looks a top-class prospect and connections may have made a shrewd decision in rerouting him from a novice chasing campaign. He has stiff opposition in the shape of Irish raider Mystical Power, though, who went on from a runner-up effort in the Supreme to land a pair of top-level successes at Aintree and Punchestown. Trainer Willie Mullins seems to have plenty of ammunition in this division, but this son of Galileo could be a dark horse in regards to the Champion Hurdle. Grade 2 winner Lump Sum could prove best of the remainder.

Despite Constitution Hill's absence, this prize still looks destined for the Nicky Henderson yard with SIR GINO taken to maintain his unbeaten record. Indeed, he could be something of a star himself judged on his exploits last term, which included an impressive performance in the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree. Irish-raider Mystical Power, also a Grade 1 winner at the Grand National meeting, will ensure that this is a proper test for Sir Gino, while the mare Take No Chances makes each-way appeal.

Mystical Power and SIR GINO are both top-class prospects and preference is for Nicky Henderson's unbeaten 4yo.

14:45 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Jeune Prince is arguably the pick of those with hurdling experience but the level he sets is not very high. As a result, preference is for BLACKWATER LILLY, who was finished second in two bumpers this season already and may have more to offer. Small Town Kid won between the flags and has to be noted on his Rules debut.

JEUNE PRINCE improved on his form in bumpers at the first attempt over hurdles when fourth in a Carlisle novice last month, with three subsequent winners coming out of the race, so he is taken to open his account with further progress to come. Blackwater Lilly wasn't beaten far on her last 2 starts in bumpers and could be the main danger, ahead of Gorvennec.

Two-time bumper runner-up BLACKWATER LILLY makes her hurdle debut and earns the vote ahead of Jeune Prince.

1st (11) Frero Banbou (17/2 +29%)
Frero Banbou

8.5
17/2(+29%)
(11) Frero Banbou 17/2, Losing run dates back to January 2022 but he's run several fine races in defeat since, including when placed in a couple of Premier Handicaps at Cheltenham last season. Shaped better than the bare result at Aintree on return and he's lurking on a dangerous mark. Stamina for 3m is unproven.
Going into the unknown stamina-wise but on a handy mark and trainer in excellent form.

2nd (8) The Changing Man (9/4 +63%)
The Changing Man

2.25
9/4(+63%)
(8) The Changing Man 9/4, Progressive over hurdles but mixed record over fences last season. Went off towards the top of the betting but failed to complete in Badger Beer at Wincanton on return, too far out to suggest outcome. Not taken lightly.
Moving nicely when falling in the Badger Beer; can play leading role granted a clear round.

3rd (1) Marble Sands (14/1 -75%)
Marble Sands

14
14/1(-75%)
(1) Marble Sands 14/1, Useful hurdler who scored twice over fences last season at Ayr and Musselburgh. Fit from the Flat when making a winning return in 4-runner listed race at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and respected back in a handicap over a trip he should stay.
Stamina not guaranteed but he stayed on well for 2m4f Listed win at Carlisle last time.

4th (12) Some Scope (12/1 +52%)
Some Scope

12
12/1(+52%)
(12) Some Scope 12/1, Had a good first season over fences, winning on 2 of his 5 starts and ending campaign with creditable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Cheltenham in April. Looked rusty there on return but still needs to leave that well behind up in class.
Progressive last season; had wind surgery since last month's return; retains potential.

5th (2) Kinondo Kwetu (18/1 +45%)
Kinondo Kwetu

18
18/1(+45%)
(2) Kinondo Kwetu 18/1, Snapped a run of poor form when scoring at Uttoxeter and Worcester this summer before good second of 5 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft, 3/1). However, found his run of good form coming to a shuddering halt at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago, a sloppy round of jumping part of the problem.
Pulled up at Cheltenham last month but that may not be his course; in fine form previously.
4
6th (4) Neon Moon (12/1 -50%)
Neon Moon

12
12/1(-50%)
(4) Neon Moon 12/1, Not proved the most reliable but he advanced his form on the back of wind surgery when scoring at Chepstow on return and backed that up when third at Ascot 4 weeks ago. In the mix with a repeat.
He's been better then ever this autumn following wind surgery and holds solid claims.
9
7th (9) Special Rate (18/1 +45%)
Special Rate

18
18/1(+45%)
(9) Special Rate 18/1, Enjoyed a most productive campaign over hurdles/fences last term, winning 7 from 10 starts for Philip Kirby. Shaped okay until let down by a rare jumping lapse at Ayr on yard debut/return 4 weeks ago. Career best required up in class.
Competitive mark on best form & new trainer is enjoying productive campaign; not ruled out.
6
8th (6) Anglers Crag (40/1 -150%)
Anglers Crag

40
40/1(-150%)
(6) Anglers Crag 40/1, Big improver for new stable after wind surgery, making it 4-4 when overcoming mistakes to edged ahead close home in Eider here (33f, soft) in February. Didn't get away with similar errors in Scottish National final start (also bled). Mark high enough now and opposable back down in trip on return.
Made it 4-4 for yard with Eider win here; needs to be at very top of game on reappearance.
5
|U| (5) Jet Plane (25/1 -150%)
Jet Plane

25
25/1(-150%)
(5) Jet Plane 25/1, Gained a fourth victory of 2023/24 in comfortable style at Market Rasen (19f) in April. Gave his all after 6 months off when third at Wetherby last month and more needed off the same mark in better race here.
Four wins last term and returned with creditable 3rd at Wetherby; unproven on good ground.
13
|PU| (13) Gustavian (5/1 +50%)
Gustavian

5
5/1(+50%)
(13) Gustavian 5/1, Sole success over fences to date came in 3-runner affair at Exeter back in February 2023 but made an encouraging return considering he was 4 lb out of the handicap and got badly hampered by a faller when third in Badger Beer at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. Potentially on a handy mark if building on that.
Fair third in the Badger Beer from out of the handicap and could build on that effort.
10
|PU| (10) Donny Boy (11/1 -57%)
Donny Boy

11
11/1(-57%)
(10) Donny Boy 11/1, Good second of 5 in handicap chase (9/2) at Ayr (20.5f, good to soft) on his return but again didn't look the most straightforward and it's probably no coincidence he's still without a win since his hurdling debut nearly 3 years back, spoiling his chance by jumping repeatedly right.
0-8 as a chaser but fine efforts the last twice and every chance he'll be thereabouts.
7
|PU| (7) Bowtogreatness (15/2 -50%)
Bowtogreatness

7.5
15/2(-50%)
(7) Bowtogreatness 15/2, Took advantage of career-low mark when finally off the mark over fences at Newbury 3 weeks ago, jumping boldly at the head of affairs. 4 lb rise not insurmountable but will find this more competitive no doubt.
Came clear with progressive runner-up when making all at Newbury; 4lb rise isn't harsh.
3
|PU| (3) Blackjack Magic (28/1 -40%)
Blackjack Magic

28
28/1(-40%)
(3) Blackjack Magic 28/1, Returned with success in the Badger Beer at Wincanton last season and mostly held form well after. Good record fresh so not dismissed after 7 months off.
Has a very good record when fresh around this time of year and he's on the shortlist.

15:20 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow

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

NEON MOON was third off this mark in a competitive event over 3m at Ascot earlier in the month and a repeat of that level of form would give him a big chance here. Bowtogreatness has to be of interest following his success at Newbury and he could prove to be the main threat. Marble Sands has the ability to go well in a race of this nature, but has yet to prove that he stays this far, while Donny Boy and The Changing Man complete the shortlist.

GUSTAVIAN made an eye-catching return from out of the weights when third in the Badger Beer at Wincanton 3 weeks ago and tops the shortlist racing off his proper mark now. The well backed The Changing Man was yet to be asked for his effort when falling at the sixteenth in the same race so is worth another chance, with top-weight Marble Sands also worth considering on the back of a career-best win in a listed race at Carlisle.

Having had wind surgery since his disappointing reappearance at Cheltenham, SOME SCOPE (nap) is taken to bounce back with a win.

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.
