Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Paddy's Day gets the nod at Newcastle, with a progressive profile that makes him the one to side with in this 5f Class 4 contest. He sits on a rating of 85, just two pounds behind the top-rated Temple of Athena, so that narrow gap looks well worth overlooking for a horse still on the upgrade. Temple of Athena is the main danger on figures, while Dolos Dream and Emerald Harmony are also capable of making this tighter than it should be in an open-looking field of eleven. Paddy's Day is the selection.

Brian Ellison 2/22
Temple of Athena is the top-rated runner on our figures (87, ranked first of 11) and has run over today's trip and going, with a third two starts back and a run just 18 days ago keeping her fresh. The risk is that she's winless in her last six, finishing sixth last time out.

Leading Times arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, he carries 135 lb off an official rating of 80, and our rating of 78 ranks him eighth of 11.

Paddy's Day arrives fresh enough after 20 days off and has run over today's trip and going, with a third four starts back and a second six starts back showing his ceiling; he's yet to win recently, but our 85 rating, second best of 11, backs him.

Dolos Dream is a leading danger: she has run over today's trip and going, was second three starts back, and is back quickly after 13 days off. Our rating of 83 sits above her official 78, but two modest runs since leave a question over her current form.

Third last time out and fit after 13 days, Kinetic Force has run over today's trip and going, but he has managed only a seventh in each of the two runs before that. A winner five starts back, he carries 132 lb from stall nine for a yard going 0/23 in the last 14 days, and our rating of 80 ranks him seventh of 11.

Shane Gray
Kevin Ryan 1/32
Venture Capital is winless in his last six, though a fifth last time out and a fourth two starts back suggest he's edging closer, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 33-day break and a cold yard (1/34 lately) temper that, while our rating of 81 ranks him fifth of 11.

Emerald Harmony booked a fourth last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our 82 rating ranks her fourth of eleven against an official 74. The risk is a winless run, with sixth and seventh places in her last four outings before that.

Grandlad has finished sixth, seventh, sixth and ninth in the four runs before an unplaced latest, with his only win six starts back, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and he is rated 77 by us, ninth of 11, with 129 lb from draw 10.

Sports Coach has been in the frame twice, a second four starts back and another second five back, but he is without a win in his last six and unplaced in his last two. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 80 sits above his official 74, though he carries 129 lb from draw 4.

Iain Jardine 6/27
Little Mi Mi has slipped to a sixth last time out and unplaced the start before, a long way from the wins she managed four and five starts back. She has run over today's trip and going, but she ranks last of eleven on our figures, so she is hard to fancy off 128 lb.

Curious Rover has been unplaced in his last two starts and is a winner four starts back, so the form is cooling; he has run over today's trip and on the going, and returns after 13 days. Carrying 128 lb from stall eight, he is hard to fancy, with our rating of 76 ranking him tenth of eleven.
