(14) That's Your Lottie 11/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs. 5/1, only ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f) 17 days ago. Has work to do.
11
1st (11) (2/1 +33%) Blue Shark
2
2/1(+33%)
(11) Blue Shark 2/1, 20/1, left his previous efforts behind to get off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f) 32 days ago. Form has been franked so he's expected to be bang there off 4 lb higher mark.
6
2nd (6) (2.5/1 +72%) Aazza
2.5
2.5/1(+72%)
(6) Aazza 2.5/1, Fair hurdles winner who has failed to go on in three runs over fences this term. Reverts to this sphere now and she can't be discounted off an easing mark.
12
3rd (12) (8/1 +43%) Ex S'Elance
8
8/1(+43%)
(12) Ex S'Elance 8/1, C&D winner who posted a creditable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f) 17 days ago. It's fifteen runs since his last win in 2021 though.
5
4th (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Coup De Gold
7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(5) Coup De Gold 7.5/1, It's now twenty two runs since his last win in 2019 but he posted a respectable sixth in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. No forlorn hope.
15
5th (15) (3.5/1 +61%) Brickadank
3.5
3.5/1(+61%)
(15) Brickadank 3.5/1, Still winless after 21 runs and below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 34 days ago. Others appeal more.
9
6th (9) (28/1 +30%) Dakota Beat
28
28/1(+30%)
(9) Dakota Beat 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
2
7th (2) (11/1 -83%) Heros De Moutiers
11
11/1(-83%)
(2) Heros De Moutiers 11/1, Off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt and best of three runs over hurdles when fourth of 7 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 26 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap bow with more required.
18
8th (18) (28/1 +15%) Ballyfarsoon
28
28/1(+15%)
(18) Ballyfarsoon 28/1, Not disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) 9 days ago. It's twenty runs since his last win in 2019, however.
4
9th (4) (66/1 -65%) Kings Justice
66
66/1(-65%)
(4) Kings Justice 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f) 56 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.
17
10th (17) (125/1 -150%) Royal Flush
125
125/1(-150%)
(17) Royal Flush 125/1, Poor maiden. Off over 2 years since coming in ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f). Hard to enthuse over on his comeback run.
LTO Selection:
12:12 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Ballabawn 1.62/1, Cosily off mark in Irish points at the second attempt in May and shaped as if better for the run (despite being well backed) when fourth on hurdling debut at Ayr 29 days ago. Likely to improve.
5
(5) (1.88/1 -25%) Crebilly
1.88
1.88/1(-25%)
(5) Crebilly 1.88/1, £100,000 buy for top connections after finishing third in an Irish point and showed plenty starting out under Rules when third in a Huntingdon bumper (heavy) in March. Should make his mark over jumps.
6
(6) (3.5/1 +0%) Hashtag Lord
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(6) Hashtag Lord 3.5/1, Showed fair form first time out when fifth of 25 in maiden hurdle at Navan (15.8f) in February. Not quite at same level both starts for new yard but it remains early days and may yet do better.
10
(10) (8/1 +43%) Top Cloud
8
8/1(+43%)
(10) Top Cloud 8/1, Successful in a point bumper and produced a promising first effort under Rules when third at Hexham in March. Not so good on hurdling debut there 8 months later but probably needed the run.
7
(7) (25/1 -79%) San Roch
25
25/1(-79%)
(7) San Roch 25/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but makes his hurdling debut after 17 months off and maybe best watched.
1
(1) (28/1 -40%) A Shining Moon
28
28/1(-40%)
(1) A Shining Moon 28/1, Showed fair form when runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but failed to progress on the Flat for Eve Johnson Houghton and sold for just 1,000 gns in October.
12
(12) (40/1 +0%) She's A Steal
40
40/1(+0%)
(12) She's A Steal 40/1, Modest in bumpers for Tim Reed and looks a longer-term project over hurdles.
9
(9) (66/1 +0%) Tommy's Fortune
66
66/1(+0%)
(9) Tommy's Fortune 66/1, Modest in bumpers and not given a hard time when well held in a pair of novice hurdles. Handicaps presumably up after this.
13
(13) (150/1 +25%) Turbulent Power
150
150/1(+25%)
(13) Turbulent Power 150/1, Poor maiden on Flat who offered little in 2 bumpers in late 2021.
3
(3) (200/1 -100%) Blame The Farrier
200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Blame The Farrier 200/1, Unplaced in bumpers and went with little promise sent hurdling at Cartmel in July.
11
(11) (300/1 -50%) Peppermill
300
300/1(-50%)
(11) Peppermill 300/1, Well held completed start in novice hurdles (in tongue strap latest outing).
LTO Selection:
12:42 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Ladronne 2.5/1, Very much regained progressive thread over fences of late, scoring narrowly at Wetherby (19.4f) and relishing the step back up to 25f to follow up at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Unlikely he's finished winning yet on that evidence.
7
(7) (2.75/1 +17%) Bretney
2.75
2.75/1(+17%)
(7) Bretney 2.75/1, Pretty reliable since switched to fences and deservedly notched second success in this sphere when accounting for 10 rivals at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, going on again 4 out and ridden out. Expected to go well again.
1
(1) (3/1 +0%) Monbeg Genius
3
3/1(+0%)
(1) Monbeg Genius 3/1, Point winner who tasted success twice in maiden/novice hurdles last term (at up to 23.6f). Lacked sharpness back from 7 months off/following wind op sent chasing at Aintree (19.9f) 33 days ago but feasible to expect improvement.
5
(5) (4/1 +20%) Half Track
4
4/1(+20%)
(5) Half Track 4/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who fell first on chase debut at Carlisle in October and again failed to complete (through no fault of his own) when hampered and unseating at Kelso 2 weeks ago. Remains early days at least.
6
(6) (10/1 +55%) Who's In The Box
10
10/1(+55%)
(6) Who's In The Box 10/1, Winless since 2020 and, having been well backed, failed to complete for third time from last 5 starts when falling in race won by Ladronne at Catterick (25.2f) 3 weeks ago. Still, not out of things from this sort of mark.
4
(4) (22/1 +12%) Indian Brave
22
22/1(+12%)
(4) Indian Brave 22/1, Dual chase winner during 2020 and proved he retains plenty of ability back from 2 years off when runner-up at Wetherby (19.4f) in March. However, he was well held when falling 4 out on return at that venue in October. Not the easiest to weigh up.
2
(2) (33/1 -288%) Stylish Moment
33
33/1(-288%)
(2) Stylish Moment 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best for Eoin Doyle. Shaped as if as good as ever on third start for present yard when third over fences at Carlisle (24.5f) in October but not in same form tackling 31.5f at Musselburgh since. Quickly drops back in trip now.
LTO Selection:
13:17 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Imperial Merlin 0.4/1, Bumper winner in the spring and made a successful start to his hurdling career at Catterick (19f, good to soft) last month. More to come and the one to beat.
2
(2) (2.5/1 -11%) Supreme Gift
2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(2) Supreme Gift 2.5/1, Irish point winner. Placed in bumpers last season and returned to win a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in November. Had a bit in hand and should have more to offer.
5
(5) (12/1 -33%) Macavity
12
12/1(-33%)
(5) Macavity 12/1, Won last 2 of 3 starts in points and also landed an Aintree bumper in May. Better effort in 19f Wetherby novice hurdles for this yard when third of 14 last month.
4
(4) (80/1 -60%) I'm Dougal Rocks
80
80/1(-60%)
(4) I'm Dougal Rocks 80/1, Has made little impact in a pair of bumpers. Goes up in trip for hurdle debut.
3
(3) (80/1 -21%) Brian's Jet
80
80/1(-21%)
(3) Brian's Jet 80/1, No better than modest form when placed on the second of 2 outings in bumpers and well-held sixth on his 2m course hurdle debut 12 days ago. This significantly longer trip needs to spark plenty of improvement.
LTO Selection:
13:52 Newcastle Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Since Day One 0.8/1, Multiple winner over hurdles last season and made successful start in this sphere when taking Ayr handicap (16.5f, good to soft) in October. Likely more to come yet.
2
(2) (1.75/1 +30%) Miah Grace
1.75
1.75/1(+30%)
(2) Miah Grace 1.75/1, Useful hurdler over 2m in 2019/20, successful 3 times. Some good runs in 2020/21 and back from 19 months off when promising second on Bangor chase debut (17.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Entitled to build on that.
3
(3) (6.5/1 +13%) Nero Rock
6.5
6.5/1(+13%)
(3) Nero Rock 6.5/1, Took a while to get off the mark over fences but it all clicked during the spring with back-to-back Sedgefield wins in May. However, limitations seemingly exposed since and looks vulnerable to less exposed types.
4
(4) (50/1 -25%) Dakota Moirette
50
50/1(-25%)
(4) Dakota Moirette 50/1, Punchestown maiden hurdle success for Gordon Elliott back in December 2016 remains his sole victory from 38 starts under Rules and showed little on return at Wetherby last month.
LTO Selection:
14:22 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(15) My Macho Man 2.5/1, Yet to taste success following 19 attempts over hurdles but there were certainly positives to glean from his effort in a C&D handicap on debut for new yard last month when 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Able to race off correct mark this time and merits respect.
8
(8) (3.33/1 +82%) Six One Nine
3.33
3.33/1(+82%)
(8) Six One Nine 3.33/1, Successful over fences here in February and returned to form when runner-up in a Musselburgh handicap chase last month. Record in this sphere is hardly inspiring, though, and it's best to look elsewhere.
1
(1) (5/1 +55%) Copper Fox
5
5/1(+55%)
(1) Copper Fox 5/1, Didn't need to improve when winning mediocre Uttoxeter maiden in June and put in his place switched to handicap company in 2 subsequent starts. Will need to find improvement from somewhere if he's to emerge on top here.
7
(7) (6.5/1 +35%) Russian Virtue
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(7) Russian Virtue 6.5/1, Regressed following promising debut in this sphere last term and he's winless following 21 starts on the Flat. However, he has posted several creditable efforts on the level this year and is interesting off a reduced mark now returned to hurdles.
11
(11) (7/1 +22%) Misty Mani
7
7/1(+22%)
(11) Misty Mani 7/1, Returned from a break in fine form during the summer, winning 3 on the bounce and by no means disgraced when fourth at Sedgefield in November. Likely he would've been placed but for unseating rider at the last at Southwell recently and not without each-way hope.
16
(16) (8/1 +43%) Zara's Universe
8
8/1(+43%)
(16) Zara's Universe 8/1, :Long-standing maiden who has several decent enough bits and pieces of form to her name but, chances are, she'll find one or two too good once again having unseated rider on recent seasonal reappearance at Sedgefield.
3
(3) (20/1 +0%) Bottle Hill
20
20/1(+0%)
(3) Bottle Hill 20/1, Minor promise in 2 starts over hurdles for James Ewart last term and though well backed ahead of his return/chase debut for new yard at Southwell, he showed little aptitude for that game. Likely to struggle back in this sphere, too, off what looks a harsh mark.
12
(12) (20/1 +70%) Archive
20
20/1(+70%)
(12) Archive 20/1, Best effort for a while when fourth at Hexham in June but, unsurprisingly, he has failed to back that up in 2 subsequent starts and losing run stretches back to 2019.
10
(10) (22/1 -10%) Bulls Aye
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Bulls Aye 22/1, Well below par on the Flat this year and while he wasn't entirely disgraced returned to hurdles in a Sedgefield novice in August, a step forward will be needed if he's to play a leading role on handicap debut in this sphere.
6
(6) (50/1 +38%) Charlie's Rockstar
50
50/1(+38%)
(6) Charlie's Rockstar 50/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points in April and showed first form under Rules when fourth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in October. Subsequent handicap debut effort was poor, though, and now tried in a tongue strap.
17
(17) (100/1 -100%) More To Follow
100
100/1(-100%)
(17) More To Follow 100/1, Showed little in two hurdling outings for Andrew Slattery and it's been a case of more of the same in as many starts for present yard. Now tried in a hood.
LTO Selection:
14:52 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) Impatient 1.75/1, £95,000 3-y-o, Montmartre gelding. Dam, placed on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (17f/2¼m winner) Sister Palma. Noteworthy newcomer.
7
(7) (4/1 +43%) Had To Be Hugo
4
4/1(+43%)
(7) Had To Be Hugo 4/1, £30,000 5-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam, failed to complete in points, sister to moody but fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Lively Baron. Runner-up only start in Irish points (May 1). Worthy of interest on debut.
6
(6) (4.5/1 -13%) Boy De La Vis
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(6) Boy De La Vis 4.5/1, Showed form in points and reasonable start under Rules when third in a bumper at Warwick for Robin Dickin 7 months ago. Merits respect starting out for a new yard.
3
(3) (7/1 -56%) Ballin Bay
7
7/1(-56%)
(3) Ballin Bay 7/1, £60,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Across The Bay. Wears hood.
10
(10) (11/1 +78%) Raffles Wonder
11
11/1(+78%)
(10) Raffles Wonder 11/1, £16,000 5-y-o, Balko gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Raya Time. Maiden Irish pointer, failed to complete last 3 starts (latest May 15).
11
(11) (12/1 +45%) Samillier
12
12/1(+45%)
(11) Samillier 12/1, £2,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Lieutenant Miller and fair chaser Avec Espoir, stays 25f. Represents an in-form yard.
4
(4) (18/1 +45%) Better Be Definite
18
18/1(+45%)
(4) Better Be Definite 18/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam (c83/h99), 2m-2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Junction Fourteen.
13
(13) (18/1 -200%) Wee Baz
18
18/1(-200%)
(13) Wee Baz 18/1, Half-brother to 3 winners and showed ability when third of 12 in a bumper at Kelso last month. Could improve from that, so not one to discount.
1
(1) (33/1 -18%) Artic Row
33
33/1(-18%)
(1) Artic Row 33/1, Second in a point bumper but down the field on Rules debut at Ayr and others make more appeal.
2
(2) (100/1 -100%) Ask My Heather
100
100/1(-100%)
(2) Ask My Heather 100/1, Well-held fourth in a bumper at Sedgefield first time out and others make more appeal.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

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.
