14:30 – Celebrating 10 Years Of Tapeta At Newcastle Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 2m | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a modest little staying handicap rather than a deep one, but it does have a few with something to recommend them. Lady Phoebe arrives on the back of a win and is entitled to plenty of respect despite carrying top weight, while Edwardtheninth has been running well enough in better company to suggest this is a very workable race. Star Of Jupiter shaped encouragingly when second on his return and looks the type to come on for that, whereas Angelardo is capable but not obviously bombproof at this trip. In truth, it is not the strongest Class 6 you will see at Newcastle and that tends to make recent solidity count for plenty. The market should have this between the right few, with race fitness and stamina likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Edwardtheninth – 10/3 with Betfair
Jockey: Kyle McHugh | Trainer: Ruth Jefferson | Form: 3-3945 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 60
Edwardtheninth gets the vote because he looks the one with the soundest overall profile in a race where plenty have holes in them. He is the highest-rated runner in the field, his Topspeed figure of 60 is the best on offer, and his recent efforts suggest he has been keeping better company than this. There has not been much between his last few runs, but that consistency can be gold dust in a weak staying handicap at this level. Kyle McHugh takes over for Ruth Jefferson and, at 10/3, he looks a fair price rather than a cramped one. If he settles and sees out the full 2m strongly, he holds serious claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Star Of Jupiter – 6/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Hope Regan | Trainer: Mark Loughnane | Form: 3446-2 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 43
Star Of Jupiter makes plenty of each-way appeal after returning with a runner-up effort that hinted he is ready to strike sooner rather than later. That was his first outing since a break, so there is every chance he strips fitter here, and his mark of 67 gives him a squeak if building on it. He does not have loads in hand on the figures, but this is the sort of race where attitude and stamina matter just as much as raw ability, and he generally gives himself a chance. Hope Regan rides, and the 6/1 on offer looks playable in a seven-runner race with three places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Edwardtheninth is the main play and looks the percentage call on the back of stronger form and the best rating/Topspeed combination in the field. For an each-way alternative, Star Of Jupiter appeals most after a good return and should be thereabouts again. Lady Phoebe is the obvious danger after winning last time, while Angelardo is not one to dismiss if seeing out the trip better than some of his recent form suggests.

15:00 – Total Performance Data – 10 Years At Newcastle Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative little novice rather than a deep one, with the market understandably focusing on the trio of Littlecote, Ticker Tape and newcomer Danseuse. Littlecote brings the strongest established form, having finished second on her last three starts, and that level sets the standard here. Ticker Tape has shown ability in two runs and looks the sort to improve for this step up in trip, while Danseuse represents a yard that can ready one first time. Maneater gets weight from none as a 4yo and has a bit to prove against the younger fillies despite decent enough figures, while La Tosca has shown only modest promise. It is not an impossible puzzle, but there is a solid favourite for a reason.
Top Selections
1. Littlecote – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 5-222 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 52
Littlecote is becoming expensive to follow if you have been backing her blind, but this is a very fair opening and she is hard to oppose. Those three consecutive second-place finishes give her the best body of form in the race, and her mark of 75 is the highest on offer among the 3yos. The fact she has already posted a Topspeed of 52 matters in a race where several of these are still trading on promise alone. Balding’s filly has the stamina test she wants at 1m4f and, in a field lacking depth, the 7/4 with Bet365 looks perfectly workable rather than cramped. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ticker Tape – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Robert Havlin | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 34 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 30
Ticker Tape is the one I would want on side each-way because she still has more upside than most of these and this longer trip could easily unlock improvement. Her two runs to date have been perfectly respectable, and a rating of 73 already puts her right in the mix on bare numbers. The Gosden team are not in the habit of persevering at this sort of level with ordinary ones, and Robert Havlin is an eye-catching booking in a race where positioning will matter. At 3/1 with Bet365 she is not exactly hiding from the assessor or the market, but she makes more appeal than the unknown quantities for a place at the very least. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple. Littlecote is the percentage call on what she has already achieved and makes most appeal as the win bet. Ticker Tape is the each-way play in a seven-runner field, with the Gosden filly looking the most likely to improve past her current mark. Danseuse is the obvious danger on debut, while Maneater may pick off one or two without quite matching the principals.

15:30 – Sunday Lunch At The Border Minstrel Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a compact 2yo maiden but not an easy one to solve, with the market already clustering around three yards you would expect to be sharp first time out. Martial Order, Lehbab Prince and Real Trouble dominate the betting and all come from stables well capable of readying a juvenile early, while Capilano and Big Cigar look the more interesting alternatives if the principals prove green on debut. Newcastle’s straight 6f tends to reward professionalism as much as raw speed, so temperament and how quickly these youngsters latch on could be decisive. In truth, it looks a fair maiden rather than a deep one, and siding with the strongest debut team makes plenty of appeal, though there is enough uncertainty for an each-way swing at a bigger price.
Top Selections
1. Martial Order – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam James | Trainer: K R Burke | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Karl Burke is one of the first trainers I want onside in an early-season northern juvenile maiden, and Martial Order makes plenty of appeal on stable strength alone. Sam James knows the yard’s youngsters inside out and this one has been installed right at the head of the market, which is usually worth respecting from this operation. The outside draw in seven should not be a major issue on the straight course, and at 11/4 with Bet365 he looks a solid rather than flashy favourite. In a race where none bring established form to the table, I’m happy to trust the Burke debutant angle. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Capilano – 17/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Capilano is the one that makes most each-way appeal in a race where the top of the market may have compressed the rest a little too much. Michael Dods can land these sprint maidens with a newcomer who knows the job, and Connor Beasley is a rider I always like in straight-track 6f events at Newcastle. Stall 2 looks handy, and if this colt breaks on terms he could get a lovely tow into the race behind the pace. At 17/2 with Paddy Power, he does not need to be a star to make the frame, and that looks the value play against the obvious trio. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Martial Order is the percentage call and the one to back to win, with Burke’s record with juveniles making him hard to oppose in this company. For an each-way punt, Capilano appeals at the bigger price and has enough stable and jockey positives to outrun his odds. Real Trouble and Lehbab Prince are the obvious dangers if the market has them right.

16:00 – In Loving Memory Of Yvonne Rush Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This revolves around a pretty clear front rank, with Zain Primus, Spaceman and Gold Digger bringing by far the most persuasive pieces of form into the race. Zain Primus has already got his head in front and arrives on the back of a solid maiden win, while Spaceman shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on his only start and looks the type to improve again at three. Gold Digger is respected on ratings and has a win to his name too, but the layoff does ask a question in a sharp 5f novice where race sharpness matters. The rest have plenty to prove, with a couple of debutants adding a bit of intrigue but not enough to make this anything other than a race dominated by the obvious three. Tricky enough for place betting, but the win angle looks fairly straightforward.
Top Selections
1. Zain Primus – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: John Butler | Form: 31 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 72
Zain Primus sets the standard on what we have seen this spring. He improved from his debut to win next time, and that Topspeed figure of 72 is a proper marker in this company over a bare 5f. The fact he has already shown he can do it under race pressure counts for plenty in a novice like this, especially against rivals returning from absences or coming here with just promise rather than substance. Connor Beasley is a positive booking around Newcastle and John Butler’s colt looks straightforward, sharp and ready-made for this test. At 6/4 he is no giveaway, but he is the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Gold Digger – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 16- | Rating: 90 | Topspeed:
Gold Digger is the each-way play simply because the form has real substance and the official mark of 90 towers over this field, even if that figure comes with the slight caveat of him not having been seen since last season. He won one of his first two starts and clearly showed enough ability as a juvenile to be rated well above the ordinary novice standard. From stall 1, Saffie Osborne should be able to hold a handy position, which matters over this trip on Tapeta. He may just bump into a fitter rival in Zain Primus, but at 9/4 he still makes each-way appeal given how thin the race looks beyond the main contenders. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Zain Primus is the win bet because he brings the best blend of recent form, speed and race fitness. Gold Digger is the each-way option in an eight-runner field after the non-runner, with his lofty rating giving him strong place claims if ready enough. Spaceman is the obvious danger and could easily be the one to give the favourite most to think about.

16:35 – Book Say When Ladies Day Tickets Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper low-grade 3yo sprint where a few arrive with workable marks but none look bombproof. Oasis Cover heads the market after a decent reappearance third and is open to more progress, while Golden Havana and Brave Traveller bring solid enough handicap form to the table from handy draws. Houndhill is interesting too, though stall 12 is no gift over this sharp 5f, and that alone makes life awkward. The shape of the race suggests early pace from several angles, so track position and getting a clean run could count for plenty. In truth, it is not a deep contest, but that often makes these Newcastle sprints even trickier because one small step forward from an unexposed sort can decide it.
Top Selections
1. Oasis Cover – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: 556-3 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 36
He looks the percentage call. Oasis Cover returned from a break with a much more encouraging effort when third, and that was the run of a horse ready to do better now getting more streetwise. A mark of 65 does not look harsh in this company and Bethell’s runners are usually well placed when they come north. Stall 7 is perfectly workable, Oisin Orr is a positive booking for this sort of race, and there is enough scope in the profile to think he can improve past exposed rivals. At 7/2 he is not exactly hidden, but he still makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking certainty. Bet: WIN
2. Brave Traveller – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul Mulrennan | Trainer: Bryan Smart | Form: 621-59 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 64
For an each-way punt, Brave Traveller makes a lot of sense. He has the joint-best Topspeed figure in the field, is berthed nicely in stall 3, and his form from last season gives him every chance at this level. The latest ninth was not good enough, but he had shaped better when fifth on his return and this is easier than some of the races he has been contesting. Paul Mulrennan is exactly the sort you want in a Newcastle sprint, and if Brave Traveller breaks on terms he should get a lovely tow into it from that low draw. Available at 6/1, he looks a fair bit more solid than plenty around him. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Oasis Cover is the win play because he is one of the few with obvious upside after a promising comeback. Brave Traveller is the each-way alternative in a 12-runner race with four places on offer, and his draw and speed figure make him very backable at the price. Golden Havana is the obvious danger from stall 2, while Houndhill has ability but may need luck from the outside gate.

17:05 – Book Northumberland Plate Day Tickets Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a proper little sprint handicap rather than a race packed with depth, and the 3yos may well have the edge over the older mares. Concert is easy to see topping plenty of shortlists despite a modest effort last time, while Hen Party brings the sort of consistent profile that usually keeps you honest in this grade. Annie Edson Taylor is another with solid enough all-weather credentials and should be sharper for her reappearance, but she’s not obviously thrown in. Tashi Delek is interesting after only three runs and could easily step forward for a patient yard. In truth, though, this feels like a race where a bit of upside counts for plenty, and I’d rather side with the less exposed fillies than the more familiar handicap types.
Top Selections
1. Concert – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Jack Channon | Form: 036-40 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 65
Concert hasn’t exactly advertised herself loudly in two runs this season, but the bare form may not tell the whole story and this is a more realistic assignment. Her Topspeed figure of 65 is the best on offer in the field, and an opening mark of 69 still gives her room to manoeuvre if she can get back to the level of last year’s better efforts. Draw 9 is not ideal over this sharp 6f, but Connor Beasley is more than capable of getting one organised from the gate. At 11/4 she’s no giveaway, yet she still makes most appeal in a race lacking a standout. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tashi Delek – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 02-8 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed:
Tashi Delek is the one who appeals as the each-way value because there should be a fair bit more to come from her after just three starts. She shaped with promise when runner-up last year and her reappearance eighth can be marked up a touch if that run simply brought her on. James Fanshawe is not one to overface his fillies, and a mark of 68 looks workable if she’s ready to step forward now handicapping properly. Daniel Muscutt is an eye-catching booking for this kind of race and stall 5 gives her options. At 11/2, she looks a sensible each-way punt in a contest where improvement could be the deciding factor. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Concert is the win play, as she brings the strongest speed figure and is dropped into a race that doesn’t look especially deep. For an each-way alternative, Tashi Delek makes more appeal than some of the exposed handicap regulars and should be competitive if taking the expected step forward. Hen Party is the obvious danger, while Annie Edson Taylor also has enough form to get involved.

17:35 – Newcastle Tapeta Enabling Champions Since 2016 Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper competitive 7f handicap to close the card, with a few arriving in form and not much room for error off these marks. Lord Capulet is the obvious starting point after winning three of his last four, while Atmosphere has been knocking loudly on the door and looks sure to be popular again despite a wide draw. King’s School is solid enough but doesn’t look thrown in, and The Green Man keeps running his race without quite getting his head in front. In a 13-runner field on Tapeta, track position and how hard they go early will matter, and that makes this a slightly tricky puzzle rather than a race to get carried away in. Even so, there are two against the field who make most appeal.
Top Selections
1. Lord Capulet – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Nicholls | Trainer: Kevin Ryan | Form: 113011 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 68
He’s the progressive one in the line-up and, unlike plenty of these exposed older handicappers, there still looks to be a bit more to come. That 113011 sequence tells its own story: when he’s right, he wins, and Kevin Ryan’s 4yo has done very little wrong in recent starts. Drawn in 5, he should get a sensible tow into the race, and this mark of 86 still doesn’t scream ceiling reached. The Topspeed figure isn’t flashy, but his profile is. At 9/4 he isn’t a giveaway in a field this size, but he’s hard to oppose given his strike-rate and the way he’s been finishing his races. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. The Green Man – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kevin Stott | Trainer: Philip Kirby | Form: 276323 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 72
He isn’t especially well treated on old form, but he’s running far too consistently to ignore in a race paying four places. Those recent 3-2-3 figures show a horse holding his form well, and he doesn’t need much imagination to see him travelling into this late if things fall right. Stall 13 is not ideal around here over 7f, so there is a clear risk attached, but Kevin Stott is more than capable of getting him covered up and delivered late. At 13/2, he looks the each-way value against shorter-priced rivals who have fewer battle scars but not necessarily stronger handicap credentials. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lord Capulet is the win play because he’s the one with momentum and still looks ahead of the assessor. For an each-way punt, The Green Man makes more appeal than the obvious alternatives because he’s reliable and should be in the shake-up again if overcoming the draw. Atmosphere is the main danger, while King’s School also has the profile to get involved without being especially compelling at the likely price.
