Hi all,

In today's main feature, I'm diving into the All-Weather Finals Day card at Newcastle, a highlight of the all-weather season.

Kicking off the long Easter weekend on Good Friday, this event promises a fantastic showcase of racing action, accompanied by substantial prize money. Alongside, Lingfield will host a noteworthy all-weather card, ensuring an exhilarating afternoon for racing enthusiasts. ITV Racing will be covering ten races from both venues, all of which are handicaps boasting sizable fields.

While these types of races may not appeal to all punters, personally, I find it incredibly exciting. It marks the beginning of a bustling weekend of racing, and I anticipate plenty of betting action. If you're interested in my selections for the upcoming month, you can find them here.

Newcastle Highlights:

Here's my Newcastle preview.

1:53 – BetUK All-Weather Championships Marathon Handicap (Class 2) – 2m

Spartan Army, on a winning streak, poses a strong challenge. Vaguely Royal, with recent form behind Spartan Army, has potential for better over two miles. Tyson Fury, an Irish contender, produced a career best at Dundalk last time and must be considered.

3:00 – BetMGM Fillies' And Mares' Championships Handicap – 7f

Aramis Grey is consistent and should run her race. Nine Tenths, fresh from a Wolverhampton Listed win will be tough to beat if in the same form as last time.

3:35 – BetUK All-Weather Sprint Handicap (Class 2) – 6f

Cover Up seeks the four timer but faces stiff competition. Albasheer the hat trick. The David O'Meara duo, Aberama Gold and Misty Grey, offer intriguing prospects.

4:10 – BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap (Class 2) – 1m 2f:

Elegant Man looks formidable after recent victories at Dundalk. Hooking, a French contender, has claims if adapting to the tapeta surface.

4:40 – BetMGM All-Weather Championships Mile Handicap (Class 2):

Symbol Of Light boasts good C&D form and relishes a strong pace. Greatgadian and French challenger Fast Raaj are both very much in the mix.

That's my Newcastle preview done here's today's selection from the card.

Friday Selection:

Newcastle

3:00 – Aramis Grey – 15/2.

Good luck with your Good Friday bets.
