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

RACE SUMMARY

None of the sextet can be ruled out but David O’Meara’s MACHETE signalled he is ready to end a long losing sequence when runner-up here last time out so edges the vote from recent C&D scorer Desert Emperor. Course winner Light Speed also commands plenty of respect.

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

A WARM WELCOME TO OUR OWNERS & TRAINERS

Owners and Trainers Benefits • Complimentary tea and coffee – available in the Owners and Trainers bar.

• Complimentary food voucher – redeemable within the Charles Brandling Room situated on the 1st floor of Brandling House.

If you need assistance today please speak to our Owners & Trainers liaison, based in the Charles Brandling Room.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R Fahey (80 wins from 705 runners, 11%) runs EVOLVE & HARLEQUIN BAY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Fahey (2 wins from 21 runners, 10%) runs EVOLVE & HARLEQUIN BAY LONGEST TRAVELLER: YA HABIBTI trained by D Cunha, Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

It was eye catching how strongly HARLEQUIN BAY finished when second over 5f here last month and he’s taken to go one better now returning to 6f. Justmyluck, a new recruit for Linda Perratt, and Ya Habibti might be the pair to give him most to think about unless the betting speaks in the favour of some of the newcomers.

WATCHDOG turns out before a 4lb rise for last week’s 7f Southwell second kicks in and should prove hard to beat if in similar form. King Victorious seems to be getting his act together and is second choice ahead of Catterick winner Grey Horizon.

RACE SUMMARY

A trappy handicap in which it could pay to side with WEE MARY to build on the promise shown on her first run for Jim Goldie over C&D and finally get off the mark. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Lady Bouquet rates the obvious danger, while Azucena, Shatin Venture and Ramon Di Loria can fight it out for minor honours.
