With most of the focus regarding racing at Newcastle having been on its all-weather track over the past few years, those who work for the course will be keen to remind us that high-quality jumps racing still takes place there.

The Showcase meeting at Cheltenham concluded today with trainer Neil Mulholland and jockey Noel Fehily enjoying a good afternoon with exciting chasers Fox Norton and Shantou Village both winning on a seven-race card headlined by a pair of £50,000 handicap chases, both sponsored for the first time by Randox Health, and the £35,000 Masterson Holdings Hurdle.
