Hollie Doyle, still nursing a broken left leg, shared her weekend outlook on Sky Sports Racing. She highlighted the Jenningsbet Northumberland Plate at Newcastle, a race she won on Trueshan four years ago, and previewed her favourite runners. Crowds are swelling, adding pressure on connections.

The standout for Doyle is Roger Varian’s lightly‑raced stayer Ride The Thunder, drawn in stall seven and making his first start since being gelded. She also trusts Alan King’s mare Blazeon Five to exploit her All‑Weather form. A strong finish could lift the horse’s handicap rating.

Doyle’s selections extend to the Festival Northumberland Vase, where Believitanducan offers William Buick a solid ride, and the Chipchase Stakes, where Diligent Harry aims for an eleventh All‑Weather win. She also flags Richard Hannon’s Circe in the Queen Charlotte Fillies’ Stakes. These picks are crucial today.
