12.20 Newcastle (9 runners)
JenningsBet Festival Handicap
6f 

Based on the provided ratings, here is the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Raatea
2. Lethal Levi
3. Aleezdancer (IRE)
4. Animate (IRE)
5. Tiger Crusade (FR)
6. Batal Dubai (IRE)
7. Magical Spirit (IRE)
8. Soldiers Minute
9. Coachello (FR)

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner and summarize their chances:

1. Raatea: C&D winner. Won a handicap at Haydock. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Has to be taken seriously.
2. Lethal Levi: Six-time winner on the Flat. Below form at Royal Ascot but had a good second at York prior to that. AW debut could bring out the best in him.
3. Aleezdancer (IRE): Five-time winner on the Flat. Respectable performance in a handicap at York. Held by Lethal Levi based on that race.
4. Animate (IRE): Course winner. Creditable third in a handicap at Kempton. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Needs to take a step forward.
5. Tiger Crusade (FR): Six-time winner on the Flat. Below form in a handicap at Chelmsford City. Needs to raise his game.
6. Batal Dubai (IRE): Lightly raced C&D winner. Finished seventh in a handicap at Windsor with running left. Booking of Murphy is a positive. Can give a good account.
7. Magical Spirit (IRE): C&D winner. Creditable third in a handicap at York, finishing close behind Lethal Levi. Each-way shout.
8. Soldiers Minute: Respectable fourth in a handicap at York. Has a good strike rate on synthetics. Capable of a bold show.
9. Coachello (FR): Latest win at Meydan. Well-beaten last of 8 at the Curragh. Sights lowered on AW debut but still vulnerable under top-weight.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is Raatea. He is a C&D winner and comes into this race on the back of a recent handicap win at Haydock. The addition of cheekpieces adds further interest. Lethal Levi and Aleezdancer have shown promise but need to improve. Animate and Batal Dubai could give a good account, while Magical Spirit and Soldiers Minute are each-way contenders. Coachello looks vulnerable under top-weight.

12.55 Newcastle (8 runners)
JenningsBet Chipchase Stakes (Group 3)
6f

Based on the provided ratings, here is the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Tiber Flow (IRE)
2. Brad The Brief
3. Judicial (IRE)
4. Mount Athos
5. Spycatcher (IRE)
6. Witch Hunter (FR)
7. Iconic Moment (IRE)
8. Prince Of Pillo (IRE)

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner and summarize their chances:

1. Brad The Brief: Talented sprinter with a good record when fresh. Won a conditions event at Haydock and a Group 2 at the Curragh last season. Finished down the field in a Group 1 at Ascot but has a good record fresh.
2. Judicial (IRE): C&D winner. Good second in a listed race at Lingfield, narrowly beaten. Finished down the field in last year’s renewal but has a good record overall. Could be a contender after a 7-month break.
3. Mount Athos: Second in a minor event at Thirsk, with excuses for the defeat. Had a wind operation since then and remains open to progress.
4. Spycatcher (IRE): Won a conditions event at Thirsk and ran well in a Heritage handicap at Ascot. Could be in the frame again based on recent form.
5. Tiber Flow (IRE): Won a listed race at Newbury and was comfortably held by Creative Force at Haydock. May find a couple of runners too strong.
6. Witch Hunter (FR): Impressive winner of the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Placed in listed company before and could make an impact if the race doesn’t come too soon.
7. Iconic Moment (IRE): Winner of two starts at 2 years old and won a listed contest at Lingfield on return. Disappointed in a listed race at Newmarket. Form is a bit mixed.
8. Prince Of Pillo (IRE): Winner of two starts, including a listed race at Ayr. Struggled in recent outings. Back up to 6f for the first time since debut. Not highly fancied.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is Brad The Brief. He has shown talent in his sprinting career, winning at Haydock and the Curragh last season. With a good record when fresh, he can be a strong contender in this race. Tiber Flow and Judicial have shown quality but may face tough competition. Mount Athos and Spycatcher could be in the frame, while Witch Hunter has the potential to make a splash if the quick turnaround suits him. Iconic Moment’s form is mixed, and Prince Of Pillo is difficult to fancy based on recent performances.

8. World Without Love
9. Faylaq
10. Winterwatch (GER)
11. La Hacienda
12. Cozone
13. Ace Rothstein (USA)
14. Ironopolis (IRE)

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner and summarize their chances:

1. Appier (IRE): Won at this track and followed up with a win at Lingfield. In good form and carries a penalty but still in the mix.
2. Blow Your Horn (IRE): Arrives on a 4-timer, winning at various distances. Shouldering a penalty but still in good form.
3. Legendary Day: Decent strike rate on the flat. Has been competitive in good handicaps. Needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Beverley.
4. Hadrianus (IRE): Improved in higher grade races this year. Finished further behind a rival in the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot. Carries an opening mark and needs to improve.
5. Citizen General (IRE): Course winner. Progressed in a recent handicap at Lingfield. Significantly up in trip and with cheekpieces on for the first time. Can have a say.
6. Mostly Sunny (IRE): C&D winner. Back on song with a second-place finish at Goodwood. Can make an impact if transferring that form to the all-weather.
7. Thermoscope (IRE): C&D winner. Third in a handicap at Hamilton but unsuited by the steady gallop. Back up in distance.
8. World Without Love: Shaped well with a fourth-place finish at Beverley. Carries a penalty and still has each-way hope.
9. Faylaq: Losing run since 2019. Showed some promise but didn’t find much after traveling well in a recent outing. Others preferred for win purposes.
10. Winterwatch (GER): Made a winning return last year but disappointed at Galway. Back up in trip and returns to the flat.
11. La Hacienda: Ran well when third in a listed race at Down Royal. Remains to be seen if he can back up that performance.
12. Cozone: Looked rusty on his return to the flat. Big improvement needed based on that effort.
13. Ace Rothstein (USA): Offered little in his first outing with a new trainer. Significant step up in trip. Tough to fancy.
14. Ironopolis (IRE): Opened account at Southwell but below form in a recent turf handicap. Significant step up in trip.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is Appier (IRE). He has shown good form at Newcastle and Lingfield, and despite carrying a penalty, he can still be competitive. Blow Your Horn arrives on a winning streak and should also be considered. Legendary Day and Hadrianus need to bounce back from recent performances, while Citizen General and Mostly Sunny have a chance to make an impact. Thermoscope and World Without Love are not without hope, but Faylaq, Winterwatch, La Hacienda, Cozone, Ace Rothstein, and Ironopolis have more to prove.

2. Zoffee: C&D winner. Had a good sixth-place finish in the Ascot Stakes, caught further back than ideal. Merits consideration.
3. Post Impressionist (IRE): Showed good form with a career-best win at York. Off for 8 months but interesting with the step up to 2m.
4. Rajinsky (IRE): One win this year and a good fifth-place finish at Chester. Should be considered.
5. Calling The Wind (IRE): Runner-up in the Ascot Stakes, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Not to be taken lightly.
6. Adjuvant (IRE): One win this year and a career-best win at Newmarket. Makes tapeta debut but looks competitive on form.
7. Golden Rules: One win this year since leaving John & Thady Gosden. Always held on in a recent handicap at Kempton. Tougher task here but not dismissed.
8. Law Of The Sea: Good fourth-place finish in the Ascot Stakes. Makes tapeta debut with cheekpieces back on. Can give another good account.
9. Berkshire Rocco (FR): Latest win at Southwell. Below form in a recent handicap at Royal Ascot. More is needed.
10. Vino Victrix: Runner-up in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Not disgraced in the Chester Cup. Weighted to go well on tapeta debut.
11. Omniscient: Progressive and won easily at Southwell. Stepping up to 2m now and worth considering.
12. Themaxwecan (IRE): Useful sort who has been getting back on track. Finished twelfth in the Ascot Stakes. Not completely dismissed.
13. Good Show: Latest win at Hamilton. Eighth in a recent handicap at Haydock and significantly up in trip. More is required.
14. Aztec Empire (IRE): Two AW wins this year but a remote sixth on testing ground at Newbury last month. Could bounce back.
15. Sir Chauvelin: 4-time course winner. Only tenth in a recent handicap at Ayr but has the potential to bounce back at this track.
16. Nathanael Greene: Showed improvement last season and posted solid efforts in May. Needs to be considered with his stamina drawn out more.
17. Matchless (IRE): One win this year. Creditable third in a recent handicap at Pontefract. Significantly up in trip but not a forlorn hope.
18. Mountain Road (FR): Ended last season with wins at Chelmsford but only sixth in a Goodwood handicap. Needs to bounce back.
19. Green Team (FR): Useful performer but has been held in recent starts in Meydan and on return to the UK. Not in top form

.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is Rainbow Dreamer. He has shown good form at Newcastle and has a win at the C&D. Zoffee, Post Impressionist, and Rajinsky have also shown promise and should be considered. Calling The Wind, Adjuvant, and Golden Rules have potential in this race as well. Law Of The Sea, Berkshire Rocco, Vino Victrix, and Omniscient are not without chances. Themaxwecan, Good Show, Aztec Empire, and Sir Chauvelin could also be in the mix. Nathanael Greene, Matchless, Mountain Road, and Green Team would need to improve to be competitive.

Based on the provided ratings, here is the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. New London (IRE)
2. Al Aasy (IRE)
3. Kemari
4. Phantom Flight
5. Outbox

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner and summarize their chances:

1. New London (IRE): Very smart at 3 years old, with notable wins in a handicap at Newmarket and a Group 3 at Goodwood. Finished a respectable third in the St Leger at Doncaster. Returns after a 9-month break with a tongue strap on for the first time. Carries a 5 lb penalty but still a strong contender.
2. Al Aasy (IRE): Talented runner who was narrowly beaten in the Coronation Cup at Epsom and a Group 2 over the same course and distance. Returned to winning ways in a listed race at Ascot in his sole start last year. Has been off for 14 months but performs well fresh and looks strong on these terms.
3. Kemari: Winner of the Queen’s Vase in 2021 and has consistently run well, including races at Meydan this year. Finished as the runner-up in this race last year. Buick prefers New London, but Kemari cannot be overlooked.
4. Phantom Flight: Showed progress during his debut season in 2022, winning three times. Shaped well in his two starts this season, including a third-place finish in a listed race at Goodwood. Has the potential to do well at this trip and should not be dismissed.
5. Outbox: A smart performer at his best, winning this race two years ago. However, he has performed poorly in all three starts this season, with finishes well down the field. Recent form raises concerns about his chances.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is New London (IRE). Despite carrying a penalty, he has a strong track record and returns after a break. Al Aasy is a close second with his talent and ability to perform well fresh. Kemari and Phantom Flight also have solid chances based on their previous performances. Outbox’s recent form raises doubts about his chances.

3. Pogo (IRE): Has not performed well this season, finishing tenth, 9¼ lengths behind Triple Time, in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, he won this race last year, so his past success cannot be completely disregarded.
4. Aldaary: Showed significant improvement in handicaps in 2021 and won a listed race at Haydock. Has been off for 14 months but still has the potential to be a contender, especially considering his in-form yard.
5. Audience: Won a 7f handicap at Leicester 8 months ago and has few miles on the clock. Despite the lay-off, he should still be considered as a contender.
6. Sam Maximus: Has been off for 8 months and finished sixth, 5 lengths behind Run To Freedom, in a listed race at Salisbury. Although he has shown promise in the past, he may need to take a step forward to be competitive.

Based on the analysis, the runner deemed best is Jumby (IRE). He is coming off a career-best win and has shown good form. Berkshire Shadow and Pogo, with their previous success at this level, are strong contenders as well. Aldaary also has the potential to be competitive after his impressive performances in handicaps.
