11:55 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for KALOOKI KID after a taking victory over further at Musselburgh last month, there should be much more to come from the son of Gentlewave. Nicky Richards' charge may have a 7lb penalty to overcome, but he is preferred to the likes of Deep Strato and St John's Road, who shaped with promise on debut in a Hexham bumper.

THE KALOOKI KID impressed with the way he went through the race when running out a comfortable winner at this venue last month and is selected to defy a penalty back down in trip. Hurdling-debutant Muzaffar and Paddy O'Mahler can battle it out for minor honours.

Today's drop back from 2m4f may not be ideal but THE KALOOKI KID won in pretty good style at Musselburgh last month and gets the nod.

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

An interesting recruit to the James Owen stable, following a taking success at Ludlow earlier in the month, UNCLE ARTHUR may be able to overcome a 7lb rise to notch a third career success. Stablemate Ferrybrige is a key player, along with the capable Prince Nino and Neigh Botha, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Sedgefield when third over fences.

In a race devoid of a solid option, FERRYBRIDGE is the suggestion. He is now 11 lb lower in the weights compared to when finishing a respectable fourth on debut for James Owen at Sedgefield in October and the testing conditions were perhaps against him last time. Glory Bridge and Prince Nino may emerge as the main dangers.

Jumping issues have held him back in recent chases but today's return to hurdling may enable NEIGH BOTHA to exploit a career-low mark.

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

REGARDE has made quite the start to his career over fences and, following a pair of comfortable successes at Huntingdon, he can bring up the hat-trick with David Bass taking over in the saddle. Snowy Evening could not have won any easier at Doncaster, though a 7lb rise will make life tougher, while Donny Boy is another open to improvement having finished runner-up on two of his last three starts.

SNOWY EVENING took a big step forward when opening his account at Doncaster and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Hat-trick seeking Regarde also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious danger, with William of York appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Another chance is given to JET LEGS, who did not have the race run to suit when a beaten favourite at Wetherby last time.

13:40 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE bounced back to winning ways at Ayr last month on his first start for new connections. The seven-year-old should be able to build on that effort with conditions in his favour once more and just a 5lb rise to contend with. Musselburgh scorer Mint Gold and the consistent Nocte Volatus can give him the most to think about.

A case can be made for a few of these but NOCTE VOLATUS figures on a handy-looking mark and is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season on the back of a wind op. Everyday Champagne hit the ground running for his new yard when scoring at Ayr and is feared most ahead of course-scorer Ladronne.

Topweight NOCTE VOLATUS is 2lb lower than when chasing home a smart rival on his seasonal debut in October and he appeals most.

Following a solid runner-up effort at the same track last month, EDEN MILL could not have done it any easier at Kelso last time out and he can follow up despite a 7lb rise for that success. The son of Leading Light gets the vote ahead of the unexposed handicap debutant Montregard and North Parade, who was a determined winner on heavy ground over C&D recently.

While he's up against some race-fit, in-form rivals, MONTREGARD is completely unexposed and possesses the potential to go on to prove himself a good deal better than his opening mark would imply. Eden Mill did the job well at Kelso last time and is second choice, albeit only marginally as Millie of Mayo and North Parade are also appealing for forecast purposes.

The most interesting runner is unexposed 4yo MONTREGARD (nap), who was not fully extended when winning a Warwick maiden in the spring.

14:50 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on three of his last four starts, including twice over C&D, SIX ONE NINE sets the standard and can deservedly regain the winning thread for the first time since February 2022. The Venetia Williams yard can do little wrong at present and Jolly Nellerie must enter calculations on his chase debut, likewise Gandhi Maker, who won here in January.

This looks pretty trappy and the percentage call is to side with UNIT SIXTYFOUR, who didn't do much wrong switched to fences last season prior to misfiring on his latest start during the spring. Given his otherwise solid record in this sphere, that can probably be put down to a 'bad day in the office'. Jolly Nellerie is of interest now tackling fences and he is feared most ahead of C&D winners Gandhi Maker and Six One Nine.

A winning chase debut is not out of the question for JOLLY NELLERIE who didn't run at all badly over hurdles on his reappearance.

OPERA KING showed up well for a long way on his debut at Doncaster before finishing a tad one-paced, but, with improvement expected, he can get off the mark for his in-form connections. Talented filly She's Notjoeking has a 7lb penalty to overcome for scoring over C&D on debut, while Authorized Mission and Kabuki look to be the pick of the newcomers.

OPERA KING showed plenty by the finish on his Doncaster debut and can build on that promise and see off last month's C&D scorer She's Notjoeking. Kabuki, Authorized Mission and Sycamore Gap are newcomers to note in the betting.

Kabuki appeals most of the newcomers but the standout contenders are SHE'S NOTJOEKING and Opera King.
