Newcastle Races Analysis (18.11.25)
3.45 Midnite, Building The Future Of Betting Handicap (Class 6)
Race Details: 2m 56y (AW)
| Rank | Horse (Trainer/Jockey) | Odds | Total TimeWise Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | Educate (J Goldie / L Young) | 3/1 | N/A |
| Top 2 | Prince Quattro (IRE) (J Owen / L Pearson) | 4/1 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
Educate (4yo):
- Recorded AW wins for previous two yards.
- Has been in good form, finishing a close second in two middle-distance events at Newcastle for his new stable.
- The trainer, J Goldie, has a 25% record of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
Prince Quattro (IRE) (6yo):
- Went close at Southwell (1m6f) recently on his Flat handicap debut.
- He is considered unexposed under this code and still looks well treated based on his hurdles form.
- He is respected off his unaltered mark.
- The trainer, J Owen, has a 60% record of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
Spotlight Verdict
Topweight PRINCE QUATTRO is taken to build on his latest effort and add to his hurdles wins. Different Drum (second choice) and Billy Bathgate warrant respect back over this C&D, while Educate is a likely danger provided he stays the new trip. A few others also have possibilities.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): J Goldie (66-576); J Owen (5-40).
Assessment of the Top Two
Educate:
- Strengths: Displays consistency and good recent form with two seconds for the new yard. High current RPR (70) and achieved two AW wins previously.
- Weaknesses: This 2m 56y trip is new, and staying the distance is a potential issue.
- Suitability: A likely player, provided he stays the required distance.
Prince Quattro (IRE):
- Strengths: Unexposed on the Flat and considered well treated due to his hurdles form. Went close on his Flat handicap debut. The Spotlight views him as the primary selection.
- Weaknesses: Recent form figures show a lower latest RPR (33) compared to his Master RPR (70).
- Suitability: Respected off his current mark and expected to build on his recent run.
4.15 Use Safer Gambling Tools At BetMGM Nursery Selling Handicap (Class 4)
Race Details: 6f (AW)
| Rank | Horse (Trainer/Jockey) | Odds | Total TimeWise Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | The Tunguska Event (IRE) (J & S Quinn / J Nicholls) | 11/10 | N/A |
| Top 2 | Yorkshire Queen (G Tuer / O Stammers) | 3/1 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
The Tunguska Event (IRE) (2yo):
- Left his previous turf form well behind when winning clearly on his nursery debut over C&D 11 days ago, wearing blinkers for the first time.
- He is now up 9lb.
- The trainer, J & S Quinn, has a high 70% record of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
Yorkshire Queen (2yo):
- Made a promising debut when second (7f) in August.
- She has regressed in two subsequent starts over 6f.
- She needs a resurgence on her nursery and AW debut.
- Her highest RPR is 71.
Spotlight Verdict
A modest contest with the topweight 17lb below the race ceiling. THE TUNGUSKA EVENT has been raised 9lb since his convincing success on nursery debut over C&D 11 days ago but is still very much the one to beat. The drop in trip may not be ideal for Mereside Princess but her form still makes her the main alternative.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): J & S Quinn (4-75); G Tuer (46-415).
Assessment of the Top Two
The Tunguska Event (IRE):
- Strengths: Strong C&D winner last time out, demonstrating clear improvement with headgear. Trainer currently in good form. Regarded as “very much the one to beat”.
- Weaknesses: Must overcome a 9lb rise in weight.
- Suitability: Strong chance to follow up recent success.
Yorkshire Queen:
- Strengths: Showed ability on debut.
- Weaknesses: Has regressed since her initial promising run. It is her first attempt on AW.
- Suitability: Requires a resurgence to challenge the favourite.
4.45 Set Deposit Limits At BetMGM Novice Stakes (Class 5)
Race Details: 1m 5y (AW)
| Rank | Horse (Trainer/Jockey) | Odds | Total TimeWise Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | Clouds Hill (IRE) (C Johnston / J Callan) | Evs | N/A |
| Top 2 | Forest Caper (D O’Meara / K Stott) | 100/30 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
Clouds Hill (IRE) (3yo):
- Has been runner-up twice in 1m turf maidens this year.
- The form of his latest effort (Leicester in June) has worked out particularly well (the winner now has a mark of 97).
- His sire has a good record here (12 wins from 48 runners in the past five seasons).
- He is absent since June (168 days off).
- The trainer, Charlie Johnston, has a 100% record of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
Forest Caper (4yo):
- He is 0-10 but has been in the frame on eight occasions.
- Recently finished third twice in 1m Tapeta handicaps, including last time here 17 days ago.
- Sets the standard but looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
Spotlight Verdict
The 4yo Forest Caper sets the standard and should again run his race but he looks vulnerable to a less exposed rival such as CLOUDS HILL. Runner-up in both starts on turf, he’s had the form of his latest run work out well and his sire has a good record here. Monty Beau is another for the shortlist, while the nicely bred newcomer Pinatubo’s Legacy is worth a market check.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): Charlie Johnston (37-249); D O’Meara (64-501).
Assessment of the Top Two
Clouds Hill (IRE):
- Strengths: Highly unexposed, excellent form lines from previous runs, and strong pedigree/sire record on AW. Trainer is currently 100% in form.
- Weaknesses: Making a reappearance after 168 days off.
- Suitability: A major player, provided he is fit and ready after his long break.
Forest Caper:
- Strengths: Sets the standard based on consistency (8 placings from 10 starts) and sound recent form over course and distance.
- Weaknesses: Is a vulnerable maiden (0-10) who was beaten at short odds last time, potentially susceptible to better-bred or less exposed types.
- Suitability: Expected to run his race but faces a tough challenge to break his maiden status.
5.15 Take Time Out During ~SGWeek25! Handicap (Class 3)
Race Details: 7f 14y (AW)
| Rank | Horse (Trainer/Jockey) | Odds | Total TimeWise Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | Unassuming (FR) (G Boughey / J Callan) | 11/8 | N/A |
| Top 2 | King’s Lynn (A Balding / C Hutchinson) | 10/1 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
Unassuming (FR) (5yo):
- Successful in three of her last five starts.
- Made it 3-8 on the AW when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month.
- The 5lb rise is not considered a major impediment, and she has relatively few miles on the clock for her age.
- Latest RPR: 69; Master RPR: 97.
King’s Lynn (8yo):
- He is 0-9 on the AW but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions.
- He is 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August.
- Master RPR: 101.
Spotlight Verdict
This seems likely to be truly run with established pace-setters Cruyff Turn, Midnight Lion and Benacre in the field. Four-time course winner Eldrickjones (second choice) showed a bit more at Southwell last time and can make an impact if taking another step forward, but the vote goes to KING’S LYNN (nap) who is 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August. Fifty Nifty is worth a market check now making his AW debut.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): G Boughey (48-229); A Balding (54-197).
Assessment of the Top Two
Unassuming (FR):
- Strengths: Excellent recent form, successful on AW last month. Ridden by Jack Callan who claims 5lb.
- Weaknesses: A slightly longer trip (8f) may have been preferable.
- Suitability: A key contender despite the 5lb rise.
King’s Lynn:
- Strengths: Highly favoured by the Spotlight as the nap selection. Runs off a competitive mark, 2lb lower than a C&D effort where he was beaten by a head. Highest Master RPR in the field (101).
- Weaknesses: Still seeking a first AW victory (0-9).
- Suitability: Holds a good chance if he can reproduce his strong August C&D form.
5.45 BetMGM: Stay Golden With Responsible Play EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes (Class 5)
Race Details: 1m 5y (AW)

|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | Society Girl (E Walker / W Carver) | 9/4 | N/A |
| Top 2 | Hoseki (IRE) (W Haggas / H Burns) | 5/2 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
Society Girl (2yo):
- Finished an eye-catching fourth of ten on her Yarmouth debut (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago.
- She looked to be struggling for a long way but stayed on well.
- Her pedigree suggests this stiffer track should be in her favour.
- Her highest RPR is 81.
Hoseki (IRE) (2yo):
- Finished third on her Newbury debut (1m, soft) last month.
- She looked like she would benefit from that experience.
- Trainer W Haggas has a 71% recent form record.
- Her highest RPR is 77.
Spotlight Verdict
Hoseki showed enough on her Newbury debut to be respected while Silky Lass is worth monitoring. Money for the nicely bred newcomer Brilliant Star should be noted, but SOCIETY GIRL went into a few notebooks after her eye-catching Yarmouth debut and this stiffer track can only be in her favour.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): E Walker (5-67); W Haggas (51-189).
Assessment of the Top Two
Society Girl:
- Strengths: Displayed an eye-catching finishing effort on debut. Expected to be suited by the stiffer track due to her pedigree. Spotlight’s top choice.
- Weaknesses: Struggled early in her debut race.
- Suitability: Much respected if she shows normal improvement.
Hoseki (IRE):
- Strengths: Ran creditably on debut (third) and is expected to improve with experience. Represents a strong yard whose runners have high recent form consistency (71%).
- Weaknesses: Needs to build on her initial promise.
- Suitability: One for the shortlist and warrants respect.

| Top 1 | Ardaddy (G Tuer / O Stammers) | 7/2 | N/A |
| Top 2 | Pit Boss (L Bailey / J Garritty) | 4/1 | N/A |
Recent Form and Comments
Ardaddy (3yo):
- Got off the mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, following a 206-day absence.
- He is up 4lb.
- If he can back up that performance, he would take the beating.
- Highest RPR is 71.
Pit Boss (3yo):
- He is 0-13, but has been placed in his last two starts here.
- Was only beaten a head over this trip 11 days ago.
- Races off the same mark as last time.
- Trainer L Bailey has a high 75% recent form record.
- Highest RPR is 71.
Spotlight Verdict
Despite being relatively exposed Pit Boss has to be respected after his narrow defeat over C&D 11 days ago, while Minshaar (second choice) gives the impression there is an even bigger effort in her. Law Degree could go well if handling the AW, but despite a 4lb rise ARDADDY is taken to follow up last month’s successful return from 206 days off at Southwell.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: This race is restricted to 3yo horses.
- Fate of Favourites: Not specifically provided for this race in the sources.
- Trainer Records (AW Wins – Runners): G Tuer (46-415); L Bailey (10-170).
Assessment of the Top Two
Ardaddy:
- Strengths: Last start was a win, proving fitness after a long layoff. Predicted to follow up his recent success and win again.
- Weaknesses: Faces a 4lb rise for the win.
- Suitability: A strong contender capable of taking the beating if he reproduces his winning form.
Pit Boss:
- Strengths: Consistent recent form, placed on last two starts, including a head defeat over C&D off the same mark. Represents a yard in excellent recent form (75%).
- Weaknesses: Exposed, being a 0-13 maiden.
- Suitability: A serious player due to consistency and an unchanged mark.

- Strengths: Multiple AW winner. Showed promise with a running-on fourth over C&D recently.

- Suitability: Considered “in the mix”.
My Mate Beattie (IRE):

Recent Form and Comments
Korroor (IRE) (4yo):
- His last two AW attempts resulted in C&D wins (in March and in his latest start).
- His AW record is 3 wins from 12 attempts.
- He remains well treated based on historical data.
- Master RPR: 67.

- Trainer J Ramsden has a high 75% recent form record.
- Master RPR: 66.
Spotlight Verdict
This may be the time to catch GLENDOWN, who recorded his sole AW success exactly a year ago and is now 10lb lower. Last-time C&D winners Korroor (second choice) and Bishop’s Glory warrant respect, while A Lady Forever has solid claims and a few others also have possibilities.

Korroor (IRE):
- Strengths: Exceptional C&D form, winning his last two AW starts here. Still well handicapped.
- Weaknesses: Trainer form (33%) is moderate.
- Suitability: Warrants respect, especially when kept to this specific track and distance.
Bishop’s Glory (IRE):
- Strengths: Recent C&D winner in the retained visor. Still well treated on peak form. Trainer is in good recent form.
- Weaknesses: Faces competition from other recent C&D winners.

Blue Lakota (IRE) (3yo):
- Has won four times on the AW in the past year.
- His latest win was by a head over C&D 11 days ago.

Alligator Alley (8yo):
- Recorded his second C&D success last month.

- Latest RPR: 48; Master RPR: 90.
Spotlight Verdict
This can go to ALLIGATOR ALLEY who returned to winning form over C&D last month and had excuses back here last time. Thankuappreciate is closely matched with him on last month’s form and could again go well in the first-time tongue-tie, while Fidelius, Nazron, Dark Kestrel and Water Of Leith are each capable of playing a part if things work out in their favour. Brazilian Belle is worth a second look now making her AW debut.

Assessment of the Top Two
Blue Lakota (IRE):
- Strengths: Highly successful on AW recently, including a C&D win 11 days ago. Trainer in good form.
- Weaknesses: Faces a 4lb rise in weight and is contesting a better race, which may find him out.
- Suitability: Needs to overcome the weight and class rise, but has proven winning ability.
Alligator Alley:
- Strengths: Proven C&D winner who had a recent valid excuse for an unplaced run. He is the Spotlight’s top selection.
- Weaknesses: Has a poor overall win record (only 2 wins in his last 31 starts). Recent RPR (48) is low.
- Suitability: A big player, provided the race unfolds smoothly.
