Ran in snatches on bumper debut but still managed to finish fourth. Bred to be better and should have learned a good deal for that experience so given an each way squeak in an open looking finale.

This is a better race than the one he won over C&D last month but he is entitled to come on for that and is taken to complete a hat-rick here.

Decent efforts in two bumpers and not a bad debut over hurdles last time out. The drop in trip here should suit. Definite player given even modest improvement on that hurdles debut.

Has shown some promise but tends to mess about and get side-tracked all too easily. The booking of a vastly experienced jockey may help in that regard today. Each way chance if his mind is kept on the job.

Yet to sparkle for Gordon Elliot but yard are in great form and he is better than has shown of late. No surprise to see a big run from St Faz today with trip/conditions ideal.

Unseated rider latest but a win and a third place over hurdles prior. Hugely promising sort and Jack Kennedy is a notable jockey booking.

Decent form in Hunter Chases and has a fair mark on handicap debut. Should go well for new trainer Simon Cavanagh.

Only out of the frame once here in six attempts. This is his best trip and a fourth career success is most definitely on the cards for this Sea The Stars gelding.

Quite unlucky in running last time we saw him at this track on penultimate start. Going against him last time out on turf but definite place prospects at least back on this surface given a bit more luck in running.

Drop in trip perhaps not ideal but battled very well to get his head in front when making his debut for Johnny Murtagh last month and this looks a weaker contest so an obvious chance.

-50

Out of sorts lately on the flat and over hurdles but best form is as good as anything else in the race and is a certain stayer. Perhaps Billy Lee can cajole a better effort out of him this evening.

1000 Guineas entry looks a bit fanciful after two poor efforts so far but for all that she is very nicely bred and perhaps will be seen to better effect over this shorter trip.

Kodiac colt who ran on well when making debut over 5f here. Extra furlong should suit and will be better for that first look at a racetrack. Solid ew bet from a decent draw.

@9.00

Lose

-50

Having won one game (v Lincoln Red Imps) the Spartans have a small chance of progressing whereas Shamrock do not. The Maltese gave a decent account against second in the table Ukraine giants Shakthar Donetsk last time out (lost 0-2) and boast an experienced line up included Croatian international play maker Ante Coric. They look a bit long to win this one.

20:00 Sparta Prague v Aberdeen

Draw & Yes (Result + BTTS)

@8.00

-50

Despite drawing Cypriot and Armenian opposition Aberdeen have somehow contrived to find themselves knocked out of the competition with a game to spare. On paper this is their toughest assignment in the Conference League but Sparta only need a point to make the play offs and the Dons are good enough to make sure that is all they get.

Did well at Lingfield last time out when upped in trip and more improvement a distinct possibilty going even further today. Solid each way chance at the very least.

Well related French bred gelding who has been allowed to saunter round in a bumper and three qualifying hurdles and now makes his handicap debut off a very low mark.

Taritino

Decent summer on the flat. Faded at the death on re-appearence over hurdles at Wincanton last time out but this is a weaker race and he seemed to get on well with todays pilot when they paired up at Worcester last season. Given an each way chance in an open looking contest.

Signs he may make a half decent chaser. Ran well for a long way at Market Rasen last time out. This shorter trip is likely to suit and given a sporting each way chance at a decent price.

His jumping has never been great but when he gets it right he can be hard to reel in and at Exeter he generally gets it right. Experienced gelding on a dangerous mark.

Fourth in a better race than this at Carlisle on hurdles debut last time out. Any improvement on that would put this Scorpion gelding right in the mix today.

A first ever venture to Newcastle for Thapa VC but has numerous wins at other AWT's and had a decent summer on the turf. Heck of a trip for a modest prize but is taken to make the journey worthwhile.

Berkshire filly who was snapped up after a decent PTP showing and has been placed with a top yard. Makes bumper debut in fairly modest company and should be involved in the finish.

One previous trip to Newcastle when he won a race over todays C&D and was ridden by todays jockey Gina Mangan . Has had a spell on the sidelines so fitness has to be taken on trust but on balance a solid ew prospect.

18 months and five races since she finished out of the first three and looks the one to beat here after her bloodless victory on seasonal debut last time out.

The improvement United have shown has hardly been startling but it is real and whilst I would expect Bournemouth to test them here I think this United side are resiliant enough to edge what should be an entertaining tie.

Derby have enjoyed a few good away days this season and backed by a large support they can snaffle another three points on the road against their beleagured hosts.

Well bred gelding with a good yard and a top pilot booked for debut. Probably wont have to be anything above the average to get involved and on paper at least he looks better than that so worth a small each way interest.

Decent effort over todays C&D on only prebious visit and ran easily his best race to date last time out. Shrewd yard may have found him a half decent chance here.

Had one run in France and it was a hugely promising effort. Now with a top yard and at the very least should be able to take home some place prize money on Irish debut.

Real Madrid & Yes (Result + BTTS)

50 WIN

@3.40

Win

120

Well the gap at the top is seven points and Real Madrid need to close it with a win at Alaves. It won't be easy, the home side have won two on the bounce whilst Real have been suffering at home and in Europe of late but they should have enough quality to edge this one and keep the title race interesting.

19:45 Marseille v Monaco

-50

The last top flight game in France of 2025 is the 'derby' between Marseilles and Monaco. The home side are five places and six points better off but Monaco will on a high after beating both PSG and Galatasary recently and they can snaffle a share of the spoils this evening. Score draw.

A much bigger day for St Mirren than Celtic and the Buddies have nothing to lose. Celtic are still trying to fathom quite what it is the new manager wants and haven't looked remotely as if the 'eureka' moment is upon us. A famous day for The Buddies perhaps.

All about whether he stays 3 miles or not. Gavin Cromwell has had a look at him and decided he will. As he ticks more other boxes than most he will be carrying my fiver each way but it is an open race.

Can be exceptional at this level when the mood takes but that isn't all that often. Still his last run was decent and the favourite besides his rivals are also in and out of form. Dropped in trip and with under foot conditions fine he has each way prospects today.

Hasn't done much of note since joining this yard from Andrew Slattery but some of her Irish form is noteworthy and she has her ground here. Should be race fit after a dawdle around Ayr last month. Solid each way prospect in a poor race.

Not even the most ardent Black Cats fans would have had their favourites on 23 points and above Newcastle at this stage Im sure. Their form is holding well enough, though, perhaps for the first time all season, they were easily beaten last time out. Newcastle are in better form however and have more potential match winners. Im taking the Magpies to edge this one.

Abysmal form this year it must be said but connections persist and enter her in a race won two years ago. Whether this is wishful thinking or some inkling that her problems are behind her we shall see but nibbled at all day and certainly if she is anything like her old self she'd have a chance.

He won as he liked at Sedgefield last time out and could probably have doubled the five length winning margin he enjoyed so little surprise the handicapper has chosen to be cautious on his handicap debut. Even so, looks good value here. Could be anything.

@6.00

Win

250

Two sides in poor form, it must be said. Rovers have done pretty well on the road, to be fair, with wins at Preston and Leicester in November. But they were fortunate to take a point at home to Oxford in midweek, looking, by their own manager's admission, very jaded. A long trip south to face a desperate Pompey outfit with just two home wins all season is not ideal. Pompey need a win, and they may just get it here.

15:00 Raith v Ross County

Ross County & Yes (Result + BTTS)

50 WIN

@7.50

-50

Pre-season title favourites Ross County find themselves bottom of the table but have enjoyed a couple of morale-boosting wins in cup competitions of late. They can beat an out-of-sorts Rovers, who have now gone five games without a win.

The favourite should take this barring accidents but who might follow that one home is more open to question and a chance is taken on Nick Giffords Hello Fortune who improved with each race when pointing and has a pedigree which suggests this sort of test might suit.
