Established himself as the best stayer in Europe last year, winning Goodwood Cup, Cadran at Longchamp and Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Took Nottingham Listed race on return but asking an awful lot of him to defy a mark of 120. TFR HHHII BHA 120

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

RACE SUMMARY

BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS predictably improved switched to handicaps over middle-distances last season and, with scope for further progress as a 4-y-o, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Skye Breeze came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Southwell but he wasn’t disgraced all the same and is feared most ahead of Bringbackmemories

LONGEST TRAVELLER: HUMBLE SPARK trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 146 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

SPIRIT OF ASH has an excellent record here and shaped well from a poor position behind Yakhabar at this course last time, so she’s fancied to reverse the form with that rival provided the pace is solid. Humble Spark also arrives at the top of his game, so he’s another player in a race that looks quite competitive for a 0-60.

ANIF is something of a hostage to fortune, underlined by a luckless effort last time, but he’s in good order and nicely handicapped, so it’s worth taking the chance that things drop right on this occasion. Angel of Antrim is an obvious threat on the back of a comfortable course success and Reel Prospect is expected to return to form

RACE STATS

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CERULEAN SUMMER trained by D Cunha, ROYAL VELVET trained by W Knight, BLUE VIRTUE trained by R Varian, all Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

Wolverhampton maiden winner ROYAL VELVET should have more to come now handicapping and can show an opening mark in the 60s to be lenient. Berrygate had a possible excuse last time and had gone close on handicap debut prior to that. She might be the one to give WIlliam Knight’s charge most to do ahead of Blue Virtue, another who is better than she showed last time

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.newcastle-racecourse.co.uk

Happy Birthday to my stunning new wife, Mrs Carla Hogg

The stalls opened, we raced the distance and past the post together.

I hope your luck is in tonight as mine was the day I met you.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: SOUND OF IONA & MODULAR MAGIC trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 146 miles.

The vote goes to ELZAAL, who shaped well when runner-up over C&D back from a break in February. He failed to build on that back here next time but it was a respectable effort nonetheless and he’s currently 3lb below his last winning mark. Saaheq could be the one to follow him home, while Azucena and Catch Cunningham are others to consider
