Midnite, Building The Future Of Betting Handicap - Newcastle

Fast Track Harry

J: Rob Hornby T: C G Cox
Race Winner
49/25

Reason for Tip

For a four year old, Fast Track Harry is still very low mileage with only seven starts to his name and remains open to plenty of further progression. Made a very strong start to handicapping when second in a very warm race at York back in June last year and after two disappointing runs at Ascot following that, returned lto from a break to win in nice style at Lingfield. That was first run after a gelding op and he looked much more settled and relaxed throughout the race and i’d be surprised if he doesn’t kick on for that win and improve again. This is his usual trip and whilst this may be course debut at this track, yard are enjoying a good spell and have a very favourable strikerate in the last month. Rob Hornby aboard is a huge plus at this course, he has 40% of his races in the last two years at this course and Fast Track Harry is in very good hands here. Looks a very likely winner again today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Luminare – 3.45 Newcastle – 5/2

Trainer: W J Haggas
Jockey: Cieren Fallon

We’re taking on the favourite Jackabi here, who has finished runner-up on his last two outings and looks to be treading water off this mark.

Luminare, however, is still unexposed and showed clear promise earlier in the year when winning at Bath. Returned from a break last time with a solid third at Chelmsford and is expected to come on sharply for that run.

The statistics are extremely strong:

  • Haggas has a 25% strike rate at Newcastle.

  • Fallon wins 20% of his rides here.

  • Together at this track, they share a huge 44% strike rate.

Given the likely improvement, favourable mark, and elite trainer/jockey combination, Luminare looks exceptionally well placed.

NAP — very likely winner.

Jeriko De Baune

J: Niall Moore T: P Fenton
Race Winner
18/1

Reason for Tip

Bit inconsistent at times but on his day Jeriko De Baune is more than capable of contesting races at this level and did so when winning at Clonmel over 3 miles back in November. Couple of lesser performances recently have dropped his mark and now just 3lb above the mark he won off at Clonmel. Acts on this trip and will appreciate the ground today. Looking a bit well handicapped and 18/1 looks a big price considering his only other run at this course was a good performance. Yard have a decent record in this race and at this course generally. Usual jockey Niall Moore retains the ride and it would be no surprise if this horse ran into the places at least today at a nice price. Chance.

🎯 Dark Horse

Our Absent Friends – 7.15 Newcastle – 9/1

Trainer: T Davidson
Jockey: Jason Hart

A wide-open Class 6, ideal for a big-priced runner.
Our Absent Friends is now on a dangerously low mark, has won at Newcastle before, and returns to a track he enjoys. Recent form is better than it looks, with several midfield finishes suggesting he’s close to striking.

Key positives today:

  • Good draw in stall 4

  • Drop in grade

  • Jason Hart — very much in form and a strong jockey at this course

  • Bookies paying 4 places, making him a superb each-way option

He should be finishing strongly and can easily outrun his price.
Live outsider with winning potential.

Enjoy Dallen

J: undefined T: undefined
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

12 year old Enjoy D’allen still knows how to get the job done even at this age as he’s proven three times this season already. Got up again lto by over 7 lengths at Plumpton and only gone up 2lb for that success. Looks to still be well treated and runs in very similar conditions today both in trip and the ground that’s forecast. Very small 3 runner field here in the first on the card and Enjoy D’Allen looks a major player. Lily Jones retains the ride, knows the horse well and has won on this boy a few times now. Pretty open looking race and top weight Enjoy D’Allen looks the likely victor.

Gris Majeur

J: Ben Jones T: Sheila Lewis
Race Winner
17/5

Reason for Tip

Nine year old Gris Majeur returns to action today after 112 days off and looks very capable of making a winning return. Looked very solid and consistent in all last four starts over fences and form reads 2123 since April last year. Versatile distance wise and will be fine over this trip and this looks a good distance for his return run. Drying ground is particularly favourable and will act on this today. Has gone well fresh previously and likely to put in a big run despite the break. Stable is a smaller one but have a good record at this course and that tends to speak volumes for smaller operations. Top jockey enlisted for today in Ben Jones and he’s won 33% of rides aboard Lewis trained horses at this track. Major player today.

Scudamore

J: I J Power T: J Candlish
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open looking race here in the 4.10 and one who looks set for a big run is nine year old Scudamore from the Candlish yard who has strung together some strong performances of late, including over C&D two starts ago. Looks on a good mark and looks to have a great chance today at a course he enjoys and on ground he will relish following some recent runs on less than favourable ground conditions. Reliable jumper and will make the running and this race looks a little more winnable than a couple of recent contests. Jennie is enjoying a fine time of it over the last couple of weeks and thats a positive for Scudamore too. Ian Power back aboard today. Good chance.

Midsummer Storm

J: James Doyle T: K R Burke
Race Winner
27/5

Reason for Tip

Interesting race here with a lot of unexposed three year olds and one who catches the eye at nice odds who’s capable of much better than debut performance is Midsummer Storm from the Burke yard. Very green on debut at Newcastle back in February when fourth of ten and likely a big improver today. Very nicely bred and cost a princely sum of 550,000 euros. Drops back a furlong in trip today which shouldn’t pose any issues and despite being drawn wide in stall 8, should have a very good chance here. Bred for much better, likely to see that today and has a jockey change to James Doyle for this run. Burke yard are in form, have an excellent record here and when James Doyle rides for the yard, theyve won 32% of races and on the only occasion where they combined at this course in the last two years, won very nicely. Midsummer Storm is taken to get the job done today on second start.
