Harry Wilson has bagged 14-1, 9-1 and 9-2 winners - don't miss the rest of his tips for all of the ITV action
Our tipster provides his fancies for the big races on All-Weather Championships finals day
Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all seven races on Newcastle's card - plus the five races live on ITV from Lingfield and Chelmsford . . .
1.15 Newcastle
BetMGM Burradon Stakes (Listed), 1m
Harry's tip: Bowmark
Royal Playwright has some notable form, including a third behind Field Of Gold in the Solario and a second to Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Royal Lodge, and is the right favourite, but I have a feeling Bowmark could be a bit special and I'll take a chance on him. He was an impressive winner of a mile novice at Kempton in December, travelling kindly and quickening up in the manner of a good one to win comfortably by four and a half lengths. The form is nothing special, but his time compared favourably enough with the Listed race won by Poker Face later on the card to suggest he could be potentially smart.
1.50 Newcastle
BetMGM All-Weather 3 Year Old Championships Handicap, 6f
Harry's tip: Berkshire Whisper
The in-form Andrew Balding has won this race for the last two years and it looks as though his Berkshire Whisper has been nicely prepped to maintain the sequence. He has won both his starts since going down by a length to a subsequent scorer on his debut in January, latterly quickening up in the manner of a smart one to defy a penalty in a novice over course and distance last month. He's related to some good horses who won on the all-weather, including Wallop and Mulzim, and likely has plenty more to offer in handicaps.

2.05 Lingfield
BetUK All-Weather Vase Middle Distance Handicap, 1m2f
Harry's tip: Cephalus
Cephalus rose 31lb in the handicap courtesy of five victories in just over three months, but had been a bit out of sorts before bouncing back to form at Chelmsford on his penultimate start. That was when the blinkers, which he had form figures of 1114 when wearing, were back on, and he followed that with an easy victory at Southwell in February, when merely needing nudging out to score having travelled powerfully. He proved he stayed the trip at Chelmsford the start before and has won the last three times he's been to Lingfield. He'll need a bit of luck in this big field, but his turn of foot is a big weapon at this level.
2.25 Newcastle
BetMGM Fillies' And Mares' Championships Handicap, 7f
Harry's tip: Brazilian Rose
Cloud Cover was a stylish winner of this last year, but she is 14lb higher and is coming in off a break, so a chance is taken on Brazilian Rose, who has done all of her improving at this track. She is just 1lb higher than when losing out by a short head to subsequent dual winner Mr Baloo over course and distance last time and Laura Coughlan's 3lb claim negates the fact she is 2lb out of the weights. She travels like a good horse and could spring a minor surprise.
2.40 Lingfield
BetMGM All Weather Vase Mile Handicap, 1m
Harry's tip: Dingle
Dingle was beaten only by Cephalus, who was on a roll, in this contest last year and it's likely been the plan to come back here since. He tends to save his best for Polytrack and capitalised on an attractive mark on his first start on that surface since this race last year when winning by two lengths at Kempton last month. That form has substance, with the third winning his next three starts, and he's 1lb lower than last year. He's well drawn in stall four for one who likes to attack.
3.00 Newcastle
BetMGM All-Weather Championships Mile Handicap, 1m
Harry's tip: Popmaster
Popmaster caught the eye when staying on for fourth (a neck behind Roi De France) at Kempton last time, having been denied a clear run, and another 1lb drop only helps matters. He wasn't best placed when five lengths behind Storm Star over course and distance in January, but he'd finished just a length behind that same rival the time before and is now 13lb better off, while he's also on better terms with Roi De France than when finishing just a neck behind that one in a handicap and Listed event at Kempton during the winter. The return to a mile will be beneficial and his jockey Paul Mulrennan knows Newcastle better than anyone.
3.15 Lingfield
BetUK All-Weather Vase Sprint Handicap, 6f
Harry's tip: Mums Tipple
A case can be made for nearly everything and I can't ignore the fact that Mums Tipple is seriously well handicapped. He was a massive eyecatcher over this course and distance in March last year, still travelling powerfully on the bridle in the home straight but with absolutely nowhere to go, and went down by just a head to subsequent Listed winner Mount Athos a couple of starts later. He's now 13lb lower than that day and dips his toe into Class 3 company, which could see a resurgence.
3.35 Newcastle
BetUK All-Weather Sprint Handicap, 6f
Harry's tip: Fivethousandtoone
Fivethousandtoone has produced some eyecatching runs since joining Tim Easterby, not least when splitting Marshman and Diligent Harry on unfavourable terms in a Listed contest at Southwell in February. He was a stylish winner of this race last year off a 3lb lower mark and took his course form figures to 13214 when a close fourth behind subsequent Sprint Cup winner Montassib in the Chipchase Stakes in June. The return to Newcastle looks key and he'll be hard to beat with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle.
3.50 Lingfield
BetMGM All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap, 7f
Harry's tip: Get Jiggy With It
Get Jiggy With It won a 7f maiden when trained by Charlie Hills and has shaped as if wanting a return to that trip in two starts for George Boughey, having failed to stay 1m½f at Wolverhampton and not quite having the speed for 6f at Lingfield two weeks ago. A 1lb drop for that leaves her on a mark 2lb lower than when beaten a neck in a Class 3 Thirsk handicap in September and the new cheekpieces may help.
4.07 Newcastle
BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap, 1m2f
Harry's tip: Salamanca
We haven't yet seen the best of Salamanca, whose juvenile form suggests he is underestimated by a mark of 94. Beaten on his debut by the now 91-rated Poniros, who won the Triumph Hurdle, he went down by just a neck at Newmarket next time to Endless Victory (rated 102) before a very respectable fifth in the Lingfield Derby trial behind subsequent Epsom runner-up Ambiente Friendly. He was still travelling comfortably as the field turned for home and looked set to mount a challenge before finding no extra late on. He's better than he was able to show last time, as he had an awkward start and wasn't suited by how the race was run, and should step forward for that, while David Egan taking over in the saddle for the first time suggests better is expected here.
4.30 Chelmsford
bet365 Conditions Stakes, 6f
Harry's tip: Sky Majesty
This is all about Sky Majesty. Bought for 150,000gns as a yearling, the Blue Point filly is unbeaten in three starts, having followed up her Listed strike at Ayr in September with victory in the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte at Chantilly in October when last seen. Her pedigree offers hope that she'll cope with her first go on the all-weather, with all her siblings acting on the synthetics (half-brother Democracy Dilemma has won at the track), and her official rating of 110 is 8lb superior to her nearest rival.
4.42 Newcastle
BetUK All-Weather Championships Marathon Handicap, 2m½f
Harry's tip: Duke Of Oxford
Duke Of Oxford was given too much to do in this race last year behind Prydwen, who has won three times since including the German St Leger, and Tyler Heard was probably conscious of that and then delivered him too soon in the Northumberland Plate. However, Michael Bell's runner was in good form when last seen in the winter under new partner Hector Crouch, who won a pair of Kempton handicaps on him. That latest win has been franked by subsequent wins from the third and fourth and he's likely been kept fresh for this.
