Newcastle Racecourse hosts an eight-race All-Weather Championships card today, with Silky Lass and Lakota Chief headlining the feature race at 4.42pm. The Win £250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Restricted Novice Stakes at Gosforth Park features an open field where both runners have strong claims. Silky Lass, trained by Karl Burke and rated 63 after four starts, finished third on her last outing at Newcastle and could repeat that form under jockey Jack Nicholls.

Lakota Chief arrives having shaped nicely on debut last month despite finishing fourth as the favorite. The extra furlong in this contest may suit the young horse, with William Cox taking the ride. Cork winner L L Koulsty represents the main danger from the remainder, with Oisin McSweeney in the saddle. Lorton Valley makes his debut for Julie Camacho and warrants market attention.

Earlier on the card, 2025 Horse of the Year Tasever seeks another victory in the Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap over seven furlongs. The Patrick Morris-trained six-year-old has won all six career races at Newcastle and showed good stamina to win a mile contest here on Tuesday, despite a 5lbs rise in the weights. The action is broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing from 1.42pm, with comprehensive coverage of all eight races from the North-East venue.
