Maksud was fatally injured mate 😢

@Darranhave you managed to have a look at the Hunters Chase at Carlisle today at all?

7pm Newcastle - Mr Coco Bean - 8/1 - various bookies The consistent Mr Coco Bean has only been out of the first 4 once in his last 6 starts and so should rate a solid ew bet here. He was behind both Odd Socks Havana & Laoch Gach La last time however there is hope that he can reverse that form. He was briefly short of room 3f out and had to be switched fairly sharply left, his challenge then being taken down the far side which as everyone know is not the place to be at Newcastle. Despite being against that bias he was only beaten less than 3 lengths. He has a weight swing with the two mentioned above and with a better passage I think he should have a decent chance.

8pm Wolves - Kodiac Sign - 16/1 This could run terribly as has shown next to nothing for David Evans so far, but there was reason for optimism when trained by Sir Michael Stoute and there are a few things which catch my eye tonight, at the price looks worth a small ew investment. All runs so far have been over 6 or 7f, steps up to 8.5f for the first time tonight which is the first pointer. Has had 4 handicap runs so far, again all over 6 or 7f and all in Class 4 or 5, drops into a Class 6 for the first time tonight. First handicap run was off 78, runs off 64 tonight so has dropped a stone in the ratings. Since being with David Evans has been ridden each time by 5lb claimer J. Williams, but the brilliant Rossa Ryan takes over the ride tonight. Finally, Evans has had 20 runners in the last 2 weeks, with 2 winners, Rossa Ryan rode them both. As I say, may just be a poor animal but if there's any support throughout the day may be worth taking note of.

Confusing yourself now mate ?

I’ve always thought the high draws are favoured at Newcastle in races anything up to a mile as they’re run on the straight course and the higher draws are closer to the stands rail?

4th, nowhere & 4th. Frustrating.

6.00 Kempton - Marchetti - 7/1 Drifted a fair bit this morning which is obviously a concern but think he has a decent chance in this. Has run well in handicaps the last twice and now drops into a Classified race. Last run in particular was promising given she was trapped wide all the way around with no cover and then wasn't knocked about at all, still finishing reasonably well only beaten 3 lengths. Good draw tonight and Rossa Ryan booked I think 7/1 is fair enough. 6.30 Kempton - Sisters In The Sky - 9/2 Won last time over C & D and did so whilst overcoming a pace bias to the front runners. 2nd, 3rd, 4 & 5th that day were all prominent during the race and Sisters In The Sky was the only one to come from the rear to just nab Satin Snake on the line. Up to a mark of 70 now but I don't think that should be too much of an issue as was a fairly decent 2yo and was running off marks in the 80s at one point. 7.00 Kempton - Top Of The Class - 12/1 Taking fitness on trust with this one as hasn't had a run since October but ran fairly well on handicap debut off 68 over 7f, slightly hampered and then the jockey pretty much stopped riding but stayed on okay into 5th beaten 5 lengths. Down into a Class 6, down 3lb and Ryan Sexton 3lb takes off a further 3lbs. 12/1 looks a decent ew price.

Close 3rd good run. Didn't go as quickly as expected early on and winner managed to stack them up.

5.30 Wolves - Ballyare 3lb below last winning mark and back on last AW winning mark of 75 tonight. Last run had a (poor) claimer on at Newcastle, was drawn high (which is the place to be i.e. near side running rail), jockey however switched left from the stalls and raced towards the far side, as a result could never get involved. Again has a nice draw tonight and has the assistance of arguably the best apprentice in the race in Ryan Sexton on board. Is a hold up horse so will require luck in running, but there does look to be a fair bit of pace in this race with Vespasien, Algheed, Intervention & Walking On Clouds all likely to go forward which should aid the selections chance. 14/1 if you're fortunate enough to have an account with them (I don't) so have taken 12/1 with Betfair Sportsbook.

Mine was done a nose, was in front before and after the line but not on it!!

Agree with trying to oppose Tollerton Forest @Trotter. I am going with So Chic at 5/1 who caught my eye on her last run, very tenderly handled and stayed on into 6th under hands and heels. Incidentally, the winner of that race was Hubert's Dream (who you're opposing in the following race) so will be interesting to see how So Chic runs as a guide to that form.

Giddy up @richard-westwood I got 18/1 many thanks mate!

What’s the premise behind the system Rich?

Having watched the replay of Cable Dancers race, I’d say your jockey thought the race was won @Darran
