We head north to Newcastle for the final day of racing before the Christmas break. The 'Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Nursery Handicap' at 4.55 sees us double-handed with What What What and Keats House both in action. A purchase from the breeze up sales in Ireland, Keats House made his debut at York in July and after four runs has a rating of 62. He'll take top weight and carries first time cheekpieces. What What What is owned by Tomlinson Racing and is having his sixth outing. He's now rated 57, six pounds below his first mark, and Lewis Chalkley takes off another seven pounds. Startling is the only previous winner in the race, the son of Zoustar having won twice this year and he was unlucky last time when short of room at Chelmsford. Charlie Johnston's Maid Of Killybegs making her handicap debut looks one who can do better and drops back in trip significantly from her last outing. |

The sprint handicap at 6.00 sees the return of Royal Pleasure who has been off the track since running at York in May. He'll be having his third race for connections, his best run since joining us coming at Thirsk in May when he finished fourth of 15 after hitting trouble in running. He's ten pounds below his highest winning mark and Lewis Chalkley claims seven pounds. With likely favourite Alfa Whiteburd a non-runner just eight horses will line up for the 'Weekly £5 Free Bet With BetUK Handicap' where Royal Pleasure takes stall five. |

There are some in-form opponents in the Class 4 contest. Ruth Carr's Fiscal Policy was also seeking a hat-trick last time out and has excuses having run freely. He has course and distance form and looks another likely to go well. Fiscal Policy has won four of his nine starts since joining his current yard in February, catching the eye of the handicapper who has raised the five-year-old by 18 pounds for his efforts. |
