Sky Sports Champions League •
×

Sky Sports Racing presents a bumper Good Friday card from Newcastle featuring the All-Weather Championships Finals Day. The Midnite All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap headlines the card with Regal Ulixes leading a field of 16 runners. Andrew Balding's four-year-old impressed with a strong Lingfield victory and a staying-on sixth in the Lincoln Trial, making him a handicapper to watch.

Gaucher, trained by Willie Mullins, tops the weights under Billy Loughnane after winning his last two Dundalk outings. The four-time hurdles winner has adapted well to all-weather racing but faces a 5lb weight rise. Duke's Command and Bragbor also figure prominently in what promises to be an open contest. The card features multiple championship races including the BetMGM All-Weather Championships Mile Handicap and Fillies' And Mares' Championships Handicap.

Later events include the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes from Keeneland at 10.16pm, headlined by Kentucky Oaks contender Zany. The Newcastle card offers competitive racing throughout the day with quality stayers Duke Of Oxford and Beylerbeyi clashing in the Easter Plate Marathon Handicap, while Sir Les Patterson aims to complete a hat-trick in the Sprint Handicap.
