SIR ROBIN is a 4-y-o sprinter going places judged on his taking Southwell win (backed up by the clock) a fortnight ago so he’s fancied to take the step up in grade in his stride Diligent Harry adds a touch of class to this and he’s a big threat, with Fivethousandtoone likely to be keeping on for minor honours second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 10/3) 44 days ago. Up in trip, which isn’t certain to suit but he has a fine AW record TFRHHHII BHA103

RACE SUMMARY
It’s hard to be confident about any of these but HURT YOU NEVER has dipped to a dangerous mark and could be the answer if on-song following her spin at Chelmsford where she was returning from a 3-month break. Jumira Bridge, who is just 1lb higher compared to when scoring in October, is likely to be in the thick of things, while Blackcurrent, Elisheva and Lucky Lucky Lucky all make each-way appeal

Horse Welfare
Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.
Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.
There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken. Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse
