Races & Results Saturday 19th December 2020
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Dubai Days 3.5/1, Showed ability in bumpers and over timber but was below form when third in Kelso novice (16.2f, good to soft) on return in October and no upturn for the switch to handicaps at Musselburgh since.
1
2nd (1) (6/1 +14%) Xpo Universel
6
6/1(+14%)
(1) Xpo Universel 6/1, Veteran who resumed winning ways at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January. Efforts have been mixed during second half of 2020 but his mark is falling all the time and not discounted.
15
3rd (15) (80/1 -60%) Unique Company
80
80/1(-60%)
(15) Unique Company 80/1, Little sign of ability on Flat or over hurdles for David Thompson/Stef Keniry and he can only be watched now starting out in handicaps for new yard.
11
4th (11) (22/1 -38%) Spot On Soph
22
22/1(-38%)
(11) Spot On Soph 22/1, Walk In The Park filly who hasn't offered a great deal in trio of novice/maiden contests so far this winter. Type yard do well with in handicaps though, so worth a precautionary market check.
12
5th (12) (8/1 -14%) Lough Legend
8
8/1(-14%)
(12) Lough Legend 8/1, Essentially lost his way but did at least hint at a revival when 8 lengths fourth in a C&D event 9 days ago. Handicapper has relinquished his grip further if he can use that as platform to build on.
10
6th (10) (10/1 -67%) Horst
10
10/1(-67%)
(10) Horst 10/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in France, but has struggled on this side of the Channel, including on back of wind surgery latest. However, mark has tumbled and he's one to keep an eye on.
6
7th (6) (25/1 +24%) Oishin
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Oishin 25/1, Cashed in on a reduced mark when scoring at Carlisle on final start last term. However, his profile is rather patchy and he's not been in anything like the same form either start this time around.
14
8th (14) (16/1 +20%) Cryogenics
16
16/1(+20%)
(14) Cryogenics 16/1, Won selling event at Fakenham in February and back to that sort of form when second at Sedgefield (16.8f) on penultimate start. However, he again ran below form back over C&D latest.
16
9th (16) (33/1 +18%) Instingtive
33
33/1(+18%)
(16) Instingtive 33/1, Successful in 20f Carlisle handicap chase on final run of 2018/19 campaign but well below that level since, including back over hurdles in recent months. Operating from 3 lb out the weights today.
3
|F| (3) (11/1 +8%) Billy Bathgate
11
11/1(+8%)
(3) Billy Bathgate 11/1, 4-y-o who was well beaten in bumpers/on Flat. However, some promise to glean from exploits in novice/maiden hurdles in recent months. Can do better now handicapping, particularly if settling better.
7
10th (7) (7.5/1 +32%) Get Help
7.5
7.5/1(+32%)
(7) Get Help 7.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who struggled to get competitive in pair of chase starts and he was again some way below the pick of his hurdles form at Sedgefield (16.8f) 2 weeks ago.
8
11th (8) (12/1 +0%) New Moon
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) New Moon 12/1, Modest form only start in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and not got competitive over hurdles for new yard. However, remains low-mileage from a handicapping perspective and wind op may have helped now.
5
12th (5) (9/1 -80%) Comber Mill
9
9/1(-80%)
(5) Comber Mill 9/1, Not long with this stable and better with each start to date, runner-up in a 10-runner Sedgefield handicap (16.8f) at the start of the month. Can go well again on that evidence.
13
13th (13) (11/1 -10%) Test Ride
11
11/1(-10%)
(13) Test Ride 11/1, Maiden who made more of an impact returned to a handicap when 5 lengths fourth of 10 at Wincanton (15.3f) recently. He's another who needs to build on that here.
4
|PU| (4) (22/1 -10%) Raise Your Hand
22
22/1(-10%)
(4) Raise Your Hand 22/1, Winner of sole start in points but there hasn't been a great deal of encouragement in trio of novice hurdle runs spread over 11 months. Worth a precautionary market check now handicapping.
17
|PU| (17) (100/1 +0%) Cyrano Star
100
100/1(+0%)
(17) Cyrano Star 100/1, Runner-up over hurdles at Carlisle (17f) in spring 2019 but hard to be enthusiastic about his exploits since over either set of obstacles. Hard to fancy from out of the weights.

5
1st (5) (40/1 -21%) Hills Of Connemara
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Hills Of Connemara 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was pulled up on Hexham chasing debut in October, understandably needing the run after 30 months off.
4
2nd (4) (4/1 -14%) Scottish Accent
4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Scottish Accent 4/1, Fair hurdler who was placed 3 times last term. Unlucky to bump into such a well-handicapped one on second chase start at Sedgefield (21.1f) 15 days ago and should run well again in a first-time visor.
7
3rd (7) (4.5/1 +31%) Ballydonagh Boy
4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(7) Ballydonagh Boy 4.5/1, Matched his fair hurdles form at the second attempt over fences when fourth in 12-runner handicap at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 19 days ago. First-time blinkers well worth a go and he may yet do better.
1
4th (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Dubai Angel
4.5
4.5/1(-29%)
(1) Dubai Angel 4.5/1, Bumper/hurdle winner who was placed both starts over fences in 2017. Looks on a good mark on return to chasing for new yard after 10 months off (had wind op) and market support would be significant.
3
|F| (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Smiths Cross
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(3) Smiths Cross 4.5/1, Encouraging start over fences when third at Carlisle on reappearance last season. Has failed to build on that since and temperament under suspicion but may have the opportunity to dominate here.
6
|PU| (6) (3.33/1 +33%) The Toojumpa
3.33
3.33/1(+33%)
(6) The Toojumpa 3.33/1, Bangor handicap hurdle winner in the mud in 2018. Showed an aptitude for chasing last season and left behind a lacklustre reappearance effort when second at Southwell 18 days ago, well positioned.
2
|PU| (2) (7.5/1 -36%) Skiddaw Tara
7.5
7.5/1(-36%)
(2) Skiddaw Tara 7.5/1, Found improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in March. Backed at long odds on Ayr chasing debut/return but shaped as if in need of the experience. Should do better (cheekpieces on).

1.1
1.1/1(+37%)
(1) Tommy's Oscar 1.1/1, Winning pointer who built on an encouraging Rules debut (in a course bumper) when comfortably landing a novice hurdle at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Solid claims under a penalty.
5
2nd (5) (2.75/1 -10%) Here We Have It
2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(5) Here We Have It 2.75/1, Runner-up on each of 3 completed starts in Irish points and looked to have the race sewn up before being collared late in a bumper at Carlisle on Rules debut. Big player with headgear on.
2
3rd (2) (7.5/1 -67%) Archi's Affaire
7.5
7.5/1(-67%)
(2) Archi's Affaire 7.5/1, Fairly useful 12f winner on Flat for Michael Dods. Promise initially over hurdles earlier this year but has failed to complete the last twice (reportedly broke blood vessel penultimate outing).
15
4th (15) (16/1 +52%) Sinndarella
16
16/1(+52%)
(15) Sinndarella 16/1, Fair winner on Flat in France in 2019 but yet to make a serious impact over hurdles, so likely to be of more interest in handicaps on the back of this.
6
5th (6) (150/1 -127%) Last One To Show
150
150/1(-127%)
(6) Last One To Show 150/1, Bred to do better at some point but hard to make any sort of case for based on what he's done over hurdles.
12
6th (12) (150/1 -50%) Sputnik
150
150/1(-50%)
(12) Sputnik 150/1, No better than fifth in points/bumpers in Ireland and had a quiet stable/hurdling debut in novice at Carlisle 20 days ago. More of a handicap type.
3
7th (3) (22/1 -83%) Donladd
22
22/1(-83%)
(3) Donladd 22/1, Shaped with promise in bumpers and a novice hurdle for Oliver Sherwood and upped his form on his first go for this yard when sixth at Kelso on return. Could progress further.
4
8th (4) (100/1 -400%) First Illusion
100
100/1(-400%)
(4) First Illusion 100/1, €33,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding who fell on his sole start in a point and was down the field in a novice hurdle at Wetherby on Rules debut. Likely to struggle once more.
8
9th (8) (33/1 -32%) Platinumcard
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Platinumcard 33/1, Runner-up on first of two goes in bumpers but never figured in a C&D novice hurdle last time, looking more one for the longer term.
13
|F| (13) (100/1 -52%) Wicked West
100
100/1(-52%)
(13) Wicked West 100/1, Little impact in a couple of bumpers and seems unlikely to feature now switched to hurdling.
9
10th (9) (100/1 -100%) Quay Quest
100
100/1(-100%)
(9) Quay Quest 100/1, Hinted at ability in an AW bumpers at this course 2 years ago but hasn't been since and has a lot of improvement to find on hurdling bow.
7
11th (7) (33/1 -65%) Otello Moor
33
33/1(-65%)
(7) Otello Moor 33/1, Bred to need time and distance and has shaped in kind so far, albeit making a bigger impact when third in a novice at Hexham last time. Needs another step forward.
11
12th (11) (200/1 +0%) Sir Taaj
200
200/1(+0%)
(11) Sir Taaj 200/1, No show in various disciplines.
10
13th (10) (5.5/1 +15%) Sharp Suited
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(10) Sharp Suited 5.5/1, Fairly useful sort on the Flat, scoring in a minor event at this course (tapeta) when last seen 12 months ago. Likely to be well schooled, so not without a chance if he's fully tuned up.
LTO Selection:
13:05 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) She'sasupermack 2.5/1, Successful hurdler who carried good form over to fences, scoring over C&D on final run last season. Good runner-up efforts at Ayr and Huntingdon both starts this term and should be in the mix again.
3
2nd (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Catamaran Du Seuil
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(3) Catamaran Du Seuil 3.5/1, Useful winning chaser but looked rusty and/or reluctant after 10 months off (has raced lazily before) at Ffos Las. Others more solid.
4
3rd (4) (10/1 -43%) Knockoura
10
10/1(-43%)
(4) Knockoura 10/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who has improved since sent over fences and made it 2 from 2 in handicaps with plenty to spare at Bangor a year ago. However, shaped as if amiss following month and off since.
5
4th (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Ballyhill
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(5) Ballyhill 4.5/1, Very useful when on-song, particularly over fences, but offered little last season and hasn't fared any better back over hurdles this term.
6
5th (6) (22/1 -83%) I Just Know
22
22/1(-83%)
(6) I Just Know 22/1, Useful chaser at best but lost his form last season. Signs of a revival on return but failed to build on that next time.

2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(2) Protek Des Flos 2.75/1, Matched winning hurdles form for Nicky Henderson when landing 17.1f Kelso handicap chase in February. Not at best both starts this season but now only 1 lb above winning mark.

1st (6) (6/1 +45%) Gelboe De Chanay
6
6/1(+45%)
(6) Gelboe De Chanay 6/1, Ex-French winning hurdler. Yet to hit top form for new yard, though represents a powerful owner and she shaped slightly better at Hexham 10 days ago.
1
2nd (1) (1.38/1 +8%) Another Theatre
1.38
1.38/1(+8%)
(1) Another Theatre 1.38/1, Promise initially over hurdles for Henry Oliver and cast aside a poor spell chasing when an easy winner at Southwell last week. Has to be respected under a penalty back up in trip.
7
3rd (7) (10/1 -122%) Joie De Vivre
10
10/1(-122%)
(7) Joie De Vivre 10/1, Fair winner at 12f on Flat and opened account over hurdles at Ayr in October (2m). Up 5 lb but forecast underfoot conditions are in her favour.
2
4th (2) (11/1 -47%) Runasimi River
11
11/1(-47%)
(2) Runasimi River 11/1, Thrived last winter, picking up his fourth success in that period at Chepstow, only needing to be kept up to her work. Lot depends on whether she's fully tuned for this first run in 10 months.
5
5th (5) (6/1 +14%) Amberose
6
6/1(+14%)
(5) Amberose 6/1, Ran right up to form when third of 14 on reappearance in September. Not quite so good at Carlisle next time and unseated rider latest.
4
6th (4) (5/1 -11%) Golden Robin
5
5/1(-11%)
(4) Golden Robin 5/1, Improved since joining current yard, opening his account in 20f handicap at Hexham before a pair of excellent placed efforts at up to 19.7f. Didn't look straightforward at Wetherby latest, though.
3
7th (3) (14/1 +0%) River Icon
14
14/1(+0%)
(3) River Icon 14/1, Opened her account over fences in 21f handicap at Cartmel (21f) in August. Held back by mistakes at Kelso last month and now back over timber.

14:15 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Victory Echo 4/1, Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner last winter. Well held in Market Rasen handicap hurdle on reappearance but shaped better than being pulled up suggests over fences at Carlisle 2 months ago.
4
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +44%) Le Grand Fromage
2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(4) Le Grand Fromage 2.5/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who is proving somewhat frustrating, not quite mustering the challenge he promised when fourth at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago. One to keep an eye on in the market on chase/handicap bow.
3
3rd (3) (6/1 -33%) Zalvados
6
6/1(-33%)
(3) Zalvados 6/1, Frustrating sort who had generally been in good heart when last seen back in April 2019. 7 lb lower since then and could feature if ready to roll (had breathing op) after absence back in cheekpieces.
1
4th (1) (8/1 -100%) Ain't My Fault
8
8/1(-100%)
(1) Ain't My Fault 8/1, Consistent sort who finally opened his account over fences in 2m Hexham novice handicap in October. Faced stiff task at Carlisle a fortnight later and should make more of a splash in a visor here.
7
5th (7) (16/1 -78%) Palixandre
16
16/1(-78%)
(7) Palixandre 16/1, Fortuitous winner of 21f Ludlow novice hurdle for Nicky Henderson in May 2019 but did shape a fair bit better than the distance beaten suggested when fifth on his chase bow last month. Hood applied.
5
6th (5) (12/1 +33%) Calix Delafayette
12
12/1(+33%)
(5) Calix Delafayette 12/1, Not seen since unseating rider on chase debut at Kelso 9 months ago. Had wind operation in the interim and first-time blinkers go on to try keep his mind on the job.
2
|F| (2) (3.2/1 -7%) Little Rory Mac
3.2
3.2/1(-7%)
(2) Little Rory Mac 3.2/1, Matched previous best to double hurdles tally at Kelso (2m) on yard debut in March. Stepped up on his comeback run when runner-up at Lingfield 18 days ago and now makes his chase/handicap debut.

(2) Andante 18/1, £4,000 Califet gelding. Dam, little form over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3m) Tisrabraq. Stable has enjoyed the odd bit of bumper success but likely still best watched.
4

14
14/1(+44%)
(4) Hector Master 14/1, Masterstroke half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Via Maresca. Dam (c131/h127) 2¼m hurdle winner. Betting should help guide to expectations.

18
18/1(+10%)
(7) Phil De Pail 18/1, Silver Frost gelding. Dam (h113), 2¼m hurdle winner, sister to smart hurdler (2m-19f winner, including Group 1) Grand d'Auteuil. Stable in form but isn't known for bumper winners.
1
4th (1) (3/1 -84%) Hear Me Out
3
3/1(-84%)
(1) Hear Me Out 3/1, Winning debut at Market Rasen (13f, good to soft) in October. Similar form when second at Aintree since and likely to give another good account.
5
5th (5) (18/1 +55%) Jerejak
18
18/1(+55%)
(5) Jerejak 18/1, Nathaniel gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 11f), half-sister to several winners, including top-class winner up to 13.4f Harbinger. Stable 0-11 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

7.5
7.5/1(-150%)
(8) Tele Red 7.5/1, 6/1, showed ability when third of 9 in bumper at Doncaster (13f, soft) on debut 21 days ago. Stamina a slight concern now stepping up a little in trip but still respected.

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(3) Blended Stealth 3.5/1, Walk In The Park half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cogry, stayed 4m, and ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler/chaser The Caller. Interesting newcomer.
6

2.5
2.5/1(+62%)
(6) One For Navigation 2.5/1, Born To Sea gelding. Dam 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner and also a winner up to 15f on Flat. Likely type on paper for his good Flat yard. Market support would look significant.
10
9th (10) (16/1 +0%) Wynyard Icon
16
16/1(+0%)
(10) Wynyard Icon 16/1, Sixties Icon half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Agglestone Rock. Dam unraced. Some paper appeal and needs a betting check for shrewd yard.

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.
