Roger Fell at Newcastle — Analysis

Roger Fell’s strategy at Newcastle often revolves around well-handicapped horses on the All-Weather. He's particularly adept at finding races for those dropping in class or showing signs of a return to form, often capitalising on a favourable mark. You’ll frequently see his runners contest handicaps over distances ranging from 7 furlongs to 1 mile 2 furlongs, which tend to suit the blend of stamina and tactical speed his string possesses. While he occasionally sends out a debutant or an unexposed type, his bread and butter here are the established handicappers. He strikes consistently throughout the year, with no particular seasonal bias, testament to his consistent approach to race planning.

Look for horses that have previously shown ability on synthetic surfaces, as Fell's team clearly benefits from acclimatisation to the track. Early speed and tactical versatility are key attributes for his Newcastle winners, allowing them to gain a good position on the sometimes-tricky track.
