Race 1: 14:00 Newcastle Aveika Apprentice Handicap (0-65) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 2f 42y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
4th (8) Rampant	4	Rhys Elliott	James Ewart	Two best efforts for Ewan Whillans came here, including when short-headed off 6lb higher over C&D last summer; ran poorly for his new yard (rare Flat runner) recently but the return to Tapeta should help under a jockey who's good value for 7lb in this company.
(3) Kalikapour	4	Ben Sanderson	Roger Fell & Sean Murray	Ex-Irish gelding who's run three poor races for current connections (1m-1m6f) and goes in a first-time tongue-tie having undergone wind surgery since last seen eight weeks ago; stable have been struggling for winners and he has it to prove.
(9) Wallaroo	6	Elle-May Croot	Ivan Furtado	Sole win came over 8.7f and this trip has looked to stretch him in previous attempts; has been running well of late but today's course will test his stamina.
(7) Busby	9	Aiden Brookes	Philip Kirby	Four-time Wolverhampton winner who's been on the downgrade in recent times; is lower in the weights than when not beaten far in three runs over C&D early in the year, following a poor spell on turf, and ought to fare better.
(2) No Recollection	6	Oisin McSweeney	Sam England	Goes well on Tapeta but has regressed under both codes in recent times and doesn't arrive in any form; some way down the pecking order.
(6) Sutue Alshams	4	Mohammed Tabti	Iain Jardine	Stays a good bit further than this but is a keen-goer who usually has plenty of use made of him, so maybe he'll be alright with it on his AW debut; is now 4lb lower than when last winning and has claims in first-time cheekpieces (often worn blinkers).
3rd (4) Bushfire	5	Tommie Jakes	Gemma Tutty	Patchy this year but he boasts a fair record on Tapeta and is now 4lb lower than when winning at Southwell last autumn; no surprise to see him fare better.
2nd (1) Roger Henry	4	Taylor Fisher	Gay Kelleway	Best effort to date on his first crack at this trip and first run on soft ground, minus headgear for the first time since handicapping, when winning easily at Beverley 11 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more but he's low mileage and may be up to it.
1st (5) The Glen Rovers	5	Jonny Peate	Lucy Wadham	Slowly away a couple of times in maiden/novice company since going close in a Polytrack bumper last backend, and hasn't been without promise; this is more realistic now handicapping at a sensible level and he's one to consider.

Lucy Wadham is 4-6 with runners here since the switch to Tapeta and THE GLEN ROVERS (nap), who's shown enough in maiden/novice company to suggest he'll be competitive at this level now handicapping, can further enhance those numbers. Time will tell whether it was the step up to this trip or soft ground that led to Roger Henry's Beverley improvement but, either way, he's sufficiently lightly raced to merit respect upped 6lb.[Graham Wheldon]

Race 2: 14:35 Newcastle County Hotel Handicap (0-85) (4) 3yo+ GB 1m 4f 98y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
4th (6) Fox Flame	4	Joe Fanning	Charlie Johnston	Wins have all come on the AW in the spring/autumn and never off a mark quite this high; is 9lb better off with Baltic than when behind him over C&D last time but will do well to turn things round.
(2) Met Office	7	Hayley Turner	John Butler	Ex-French gelding who's low mileage for his age and finished last season on an upswing, hitting traffic over C&D after his surprise Wolverhampton win; didn't offer a lot on his comeback from eight months off recently but is entitled to improve.
(4) Galahad Threepwood	7	David Nolan	Ewan Whillans	Well over two years since he ran on the Flat and he's been off since well held over hurdles for Ben Pauling in the winter (picked up for £12,000 in May); it would be a surprise were he still up to his current mark.
3rd (3) Thundering	5	Shane Gray	Kevin Ryan	C&D winner who's become highly inconsistent, typically failing to build on a better effort when well beaten last time; the handicapper's proving slow to relent and he'd be a surprise winner.
(1) Appier	5	Dylan Hogan	S Woods	Serial slow starter who's 5-12 on the AW and 2-2 over C&D; is currently 3lb above his highest successful mark and there's little margin for error off this mark but he's capable back on Tapeta if getting one of his better breaks and a decent pace up front.
2nd (7) Tryfan	3	Ben Robinson	Brian Ellison	Seemingly found out by the step up in class back on turf last time but may not have seen out 1m6f; had previously shown the right attitude in a small field over C&D off a 4lb lower mark and remains lightly raced.
1st (5) Baltic	4	Callum Rodriguez	Harry Charlton	Highly progressive since handicapping in cheekpieces, completing the four-timer when winning easily over C&D late last month; an 8lb rise demands more but he may well be up to it.

There's no guaranteed pace in here, so a tactical affair is quite possible, but it's still hard to get away from BALTIC, who was set to start favourite for a more competitive handicap at Ascot yesterday (subsequently withdrawn) and who can complete the five-timer en route to better things. Tryfan is preferred to habitual slow starter Appier for the forecast spot.[Graham Wheldon]

Race 3: 15:10 Newcastle Vermont Hotel EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (For horses In Bands B/C/D) (EBF Qualifier) (GBB Race) GB 7f 14y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
(4) Fuel The Fire	2	David Nolan	Ollie Pears	Big prices and beaten a long way in two turf starts this summer; low-grade nurseries are likely next on the agenda.
(8) Storm The Dug	2	Shane Gray	Lucinda Russell	35,000 breeze-ups 2yo whose pedigree is a mix of speed and stamina; offered little immediate promise when fifth of six on his Ayr (6f) debut three weeks ago.
3rd (7) Dandy Arabian	2	Hayley Turner	John Butler	Trainer had a 2yo newcomer win last month but wouldn't be noted for debutants; 40-1, ran fairly at Kempton a month ago but will need a decent step forward going up from 6f.
(5) Georginio	2	James Sullivan	Archie Watson	Blew the start and ran green when tailed off on his debut; was said to have hung right under pressure when faring better at Doncaster last weekend and is into calmer waters today for a trainer who does well with 2yos here.
4th (6) Special Ghaiyyath	2	Joe Fanning	Charlie Johnston	Half-brother to Mark Johnston's fair handicapper Cabinet Maker, as well as winners in France and the US, who was picked up for £38,000 at the breeze-ups in April; yard has done better with 2yos on the AW than turf in recent times; market useful.
(3) Counting Cards	2	Callum Rodriguez	Edward Bethell	40,000gns yearling who's a half-brother to Welleef, who won over this trip on his debut (3yo) last summer; trainer enjoying a good week but not noted for 2yos (1-37 this year), his sole winner this season coming in nursery company.
1st (1) Bear Kode	2	Oisin McSweeney	Adrian Paul Keatley	Yard enjoying a decent spell; this gelding shaped nicely behind a short-priced winner on his turf debut and should appreciate the stiffer test, so goes on the shortlist.
2nd (2) Brindavan	2	Dylan Hogan	S Woods	Bit better with each of his three runs, latterly when coming away with a subsequent winner from the front at Wolverhampton last month; helps set the standard on that.

Adrian Keatley is enjoying a decent summer, especially with 2yos, and BEAR KODE, who shaped nicely behind a well-regarded winner on his Carlisle debut, is taken to progress past Brindavan. There's likely more to come from Georginio, who's needed the experience in two runs in better company to date.[Graham Wheldon]

Race 4: 15:50 Newcastle Gainford Group Beeswing Ladies Day Handicap (0-85) (4) 3yo+ GB 1m 5y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
(13) Fountain Cross	6	James Sullivan	Tim Easterby	Dual Tapeta winner for Alan King who's offered little in three runs since returning from 20 months off; is tried in a first-time tongue-tie back on the AW.
4th (3) Danielsflyer	10	Ben Robinson	David Thompson	Veteran who won four on the spin here early in the year, going 17lb up the weights; is entitled to have come on for last month's turf comeback from three months off but he'll have to be spot on off this mark.
(4) Million Thanks	5	Andrew Breslin	Rebecca Menzies	Lacks consistency and his record on Tapeta is far from inspiring; has gone backwards from his comeback success, which came on turf off 6lb lower, and isn't obviously fancied.
(6) Summa Peto	6	Taylor Fisher	Michael Appleby	Only seen sporadically in recent times and has regressed, twice failing to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton early in the year; two previous runs in cheekpieces were bad and he was said to have moved poorly back from a break on turf four weeks ago.
(8) Cusack	6	Jonny Peate	David Thompson	Six-time course winner but never off a mark this high; ran poorly back from a short break behind two of these at Redcar last month and will need a career-best effort.
2nd (11) Sennockian	3	Joe Fanning	Charlie Johnston	Landed a hat-trick early in the year, including a win over C&D, but has lost his way since, latterly when tailed off in first-time headgear (removed today) seven weeks ago; isn't easily recommended.
3rd (10) Francesi	5	Dylan Hogan	S Woods	Still to win a handicap, finishing well held in this race last summer, and has gone the wrong way this season; returns from five weeks off and Borgi is perhaps his trainer's best shot.
1st (1) Borgi	5	Ben Sanderson	S Woods	Has four wins and two seconds to his name from seven starts on Tapeta and the return to a bigger field should suit back on the AW; having 3lb knocked off won't hurt either and he's one to consider.
(2) Dingle	6	Oisin McSweeney	Julie Camacho	Boasts a decent record over C&D and will be happier back on the AW after a couple of ordinary efforts on turf (hit traffic latest); there's not much room for error off this mark (4lb higher than when winning here in January) however.
(7) Starliner	3	Tommie Jakes	Linda Perratt	Generally consistent in Ireland prior to being picked up for 35,000gns last month and gelded; new yard has been struggling for winners and he'll need to improve for the switch to Tapeta off this mark.
(12) Distinction	6	Hayley Turner	John Mackie	Wolverhampton wins in the winter came in 0-55s and recent victories have come on his preferred soft turf; 3lb rise for his latest Pontfract victory sees him back on a career-high mark (2lb worse off with Johnny Ringo than when behind him here last month).
(9) Johnny Ringo	3	David Nolan	Lucinda Russell	Two best efforts have come here, when beating a useful rival in a 7f novice last backend, and when short-headed on his return from wind surgery late last month; a 2lb rise looks fair and he enters calculations.
(14) Bateman	3	Rhys Elliott	Gemma Tutty	Arguably an unlucky loser behind Distinction on his handicap debut early in the month and duly got off the mark two days later; this is more competitive but he's open to improvement and only 1lb higher under a 7lb claimer who's been among the winners.

Johnny Ringo looked an unlucky loser on his first run since wind surgery over C&D a month ago, when coming home strongly from a wide stall in a race that didn't set up ideally. He's shortlisted, along with fellow 3yo Bateman, who remains open to improvement back up from 7f, but this trip in a big field on Tapeta is what BORGI is all about and he gets the vote.[Graham Wheldon]

Race 5: 16:25 Newcastle Above Handicap (0-55) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 5y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
13th (14) Chattel Village	4	Aiden Brookes	Ian McInnes	With a new yard but he's a longstanding maiden who hasn't been in any sort of form of late.
12th (13) Moush	4	Ben Robinson	Liam Bailey	Couldn't win for Jack Channon and hasn't remotely threatened to put that right in six starts for current yard.
7th (9) Lunacy	4	Mohammed Tabti	Iain Jardine	Won twice over Hamilton's 1m3f last season but he's been nowhere near that level this year; having only his fourth run on the AW.
11th (6) Clipsham Gold	5	Taylor Fisher	Simon West	Four-time winner but very opposable on her modest form for current yard and the new headgear combination will need to help in a big way.
10th (7) Keep Me Stable	4	Tommie Jakes	Linda Perratt	Both wins came back-to-back here in November over 7f; there's been precious little to shout about in the meantime and 1m asks further questions of her.
(2) Smalleytime	4	Andrew Breslin	Ben Haslam	Emerged from the shadows to spring a surprise over 7f here in April when just 1lb lower; has dipped back into modest mode and has yet to convince when sent beyond 7f.
9th (4) Angel Amadea	6	David Nolan	Rebecca Menzies	It wasn't a bad run last time at Haydock after being slowly away and she's consistent in the main on the AW; stays 1m but hasn't tried it for a while (has been running over 7f) and she's one of the better options.
8th (1) Headabovetherest	4	Dylan Hogan	Rebecca Menzies	No wins in 12 but didn't run badly in his first two runs after wind surgery (here over 7f/1m at Ayr) and it wasn't his first poor run on turf softer than good last time at Beverley; off since early May but not ruled out with a hood added.
5th (8) Wheres The Crumpet	6	Jonny Peate	David Thompson	Both career wins have come in her last six starts, over 1m2f here and 1m at Ayr; below best at Redcar last time but she's shown bouncebackability in the past.
3rd (3) Martin's Brig	7	Rhys Elliott	David Thompson	Regular here and made the most of a soft lead to spring a 33-1 shock on his last visit a month ago (3lb lower; under Rhys Elliott); has an up-and-down profile and this might not pan out so favourably.
6th (12) Struck Gold	4	Hayley Turner	John Butler	Back on track when second in a classified race at Yarmouth and lost all chance at the start over C&D a month ago; has the form to feature off this low a mark.
1st (10) Barleybrown	4	James Sullivan	Ruth Carr	In good nick when leading late on over C&D in April to justify favouritism but hasn't held his form since, including back here last time out.
4th (11) Balqaa	6	Callum Rodriguez	Stella Barclay	Won twice here in 2022, over 1m and 1m2f; now stuck on a losing run but she's on a good mark and there have been flashes of respectable form this year.
2nd (5) Little Ted	7	Alex Fielding	Tim Easterby	Won this 12 months ago and he's off the same mark now having escaped a penalty for beating five rivals at Musselburgh (1m1f) four days ago (had a bit in hand); furthermore, Alex Fielding can claim his 7lb this time; has to be of interest.

Last year's winner LITTLE TED made a timely return to winning ways four days ago at Musselburgh and, not only does he escape a penalty, Alex Fielding can claim 7lb this time. The bouncebackability shown in the past by Wheres The Crumpet makes her dangerous, while Angel Amadea is respected on this belated return to 1m. Struck Gold also enters calculations.[Alistair Jones]

Race 6: 17:00 Newcastle Livello Classified Stakes (0-50) (6) 4yo+ GB 7f 14y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
(11) Storm Master	7	Aiden Brookes	John David Riches	Two poor efforts since returning from over a year off and it's hard to know what he's capable of now; easy enough to look elsewhere.
6th (7) Secret Daay	5	Ben Robinson	David Thompson	Longstanding maiden who's lost his way on turf lately; would have been 6lb better off with Split Elevens in a handicap and is hard to recommend.
2nd (8) See My Baby Jive	8	Taylor Fisher	Donald Whillans	Well suited by soft ground and boasts a patchy record round here; hasn't been in any form this year and is given another go without the blinkers worn for last summer's three Ayr wins.
9th (10) Spanish Saint	4	David Nolan	Nicky Richards	Ex-Irish maiden who was pulled up on his hurdling debut in the spring before an ordinary effort at this level three weeks ago; it's no certainty that the drop in trip will help.
5th (4) John Kirkup	9	Jonny Peate	David Thompson	Has done most winning over 5f, mainly on soft, and rarely goes this far; retains his enthusiasm and arrives in form but his record on Tapeta would politely be best labelled patchy (5lb lower mark than on turf).
8th (5) Parr Fire	4	Andrew Breslin	Ben Haslam	Winless since her 2yo debut and the regression has continued for her current yard this year; would have done better last time but for a slow start and hanging badly left but she's achieved little in her two runs beyond 6f.
1st (2) Barossa	4	Faye McManoman	Nigel Tinkler	Regressive maiden who ran well twice here in the spring before a couple of poor efforts on turf; has had 16 cracks at it now and would have been better off with most were this a handicap.
(3) Bernie The Bear	4	Tommie Jakes	Linda Perratt	String of defeats at short prices earlier in the year, often fluffing the start; boasts a consistent enough profile on Tapeta but needs to bounce back from two ordinary efforts on turf and this trip does stretch him.
4th (9) Shaka	4	Elle-May Croot	Ivan Furtado	Couple of expensive defeats round Wolverhampton this year but got it together there last time, when coming away with Split Elevens; this looks his trip and he makes the shortlist.
7th (6) Rockin Rosa	4	James Sullivan	Ruth Carr	Goes well here and was at her best around this time last year; poor effort on latest start but the return to Tapeta should help for a yard among the winners.
3rd (1) Split Elevens	6	Hayley Turner	John Butler	Expensive to follow in the winter but has got the winning habit back and remains in 0-50 company in this hat-trick bid; hard to knock out of the equation for a yard in decent nick.

A number of these should be happier back on Tapeta after poor recent turf efforts but most would have been better off with Split Elevens and SHAKA in a handicap, and this may be best left to that pair after they came away in a similar race at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. Narrow preference is for the latter, with Elle-May Croot taking off 7lb today.[Graham Wheldon]

Race 7: 17:30 Newcastle Hudson Handicap (0-55) (6) 3yo+ GB 5f

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
(8) Brazen Belle	6	Andrew Breslin	Colin Teague	Hasn't been seen in the best part of two years and far too much to prove.
(10) Furnicoe	4	Hayley Turner	Michael Appleby	Longstanding maiden who's struggled since returning from six months off; would be a surprise winner.
1st (6) Three Beauz	4	Dylan Hogan	Rebecca Menzies	Maiden who's regressed sharply since joining from Julia Feilden and goes in a first-time tongue-tie; previous Tapeta efforts were solid but she has a lot to prove.
3rd (11) She'sashambles	3	Joe Fanning	Phillip Makin	Yard having a quiet season and this filly hasn't looked like breaking the losing run in two runs back this summer, latterly when a long way behind Stallone.
(2) Never This Way	4	James Sullivan	Ruth Carr	Regressive maiden who often wore a hood for William Haggas and has it back on for the first time this year; ran fairly from the front over C&D in the spring off a much higher mark and is worth a market check.
(9) Hard Nut	7	Jonny Peate	Linda Perratt	Nothing like the horse he was and has his good and bad days now; was unlucky not to finish closer last time and is capable if in the same mood for a yard also responsible for Henery Hawk; hasn't won since his 2yo days.
(7) Forever Eighteen	3	Faye McManoman	Nigel Tinkler	The step up to 7f didn't help last time and now has a first crack at 5f; is happier on Tapeta than turf on the strength of his two runs here but whether he'll have the toe for this is the question.
(3) Grandad Bob	4	Ben Robinson	Tristan Davidson	More encouragement back from a second round of wind surgery/in a first-time tongue-tie recently, albeit he didn't find a lot having travelled well; that gave him something to build on.
(5) Stallone	8	Rhys Elliott	Michael Dods	Three-time C&D winner, latterly off a 2lb higher mark in the spring, who did better on soft ground last time; the return to Tapeta is an obvious plus and he's one of the likelier winners.
(1) Henery Hawk	5	Tommie Jakes	Linda Perratt	Serial slow starter who won four times last autumn/winter, three over C&D, and went 22lb up the weights; has since slid to 5lb below his last successful mark following a fruitless spell on turf and this is easier back on Tapeta.
2nd (4) Musical Diva	3	David Nolan	David O'Meara	Dual Tapeta winner under aggressive rides early in the year who's back on a workable mark after a stint on turf; came back to form last time and holds obvious claims.

On a fair mark again after a spell on turf, MUSICAL DIVA is fancied to add to January's Southwell and Wolverhampton wins. Linda Perratt has two lives chances courtesy of Henery Hawk, who'll be happier back on Tapeta and is second choice, and Hard Nut.[Graham Wheldon]
