PRINCE ACHILLE was unlucky not to make it back-to-back course successes last time and Jedd O’Keeffe’s gelding makes most appeal. Dingwall didn’t help himself by failing to settle at Chelmsford last time but posted another good effort and is respected again, with Bearwith also considered dropping back into a 0-70. 1-2-3: 1.PRINCE ACHILLE 2.DINGWALL 3.BEARWITH KEY colours

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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TRIBAL WISDOM trained by I Williams, Alvechurch, 233 miles. RACE SUMMARY
TRIBAL WISDOM is really thriving with consecutive wins at Wolverhampton, making good headway out wide before edging ahead last time, and can defy a 3lb rise. Flying Fletcher is better on all-weather with two course wins here and should appreciate stepping up in trip. Moon Beginnings is one to note making his handicap debut.

RACE SUMMARY
Though SPUN TO GOLD’s winning run came to a halt here recently, that may have simply been a case of a “bad day at the office” rather than indicative of a general downturn in form. He remains on a workable mark and is taken to get back on the scoresheet. The fact that Pit Boss remains a maiden following 16 attempts tells a story, but he has been knocking firmly on the door of late and is feared most ahead of Yorkshire Glory, who opened his account at the sixteenth attempt over C&D 11 days ago.
