Racing League tips: one key runner from each of the seven ITV4 races on Thursday

5.45 Newcastle
William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Racing League R15, 1m4½f

Solar Joe bids to make it third time lucky after two recent seconds. Wynter Wildes was only narrowly beaten on the opening night of the Racing League at Doncaster when last seen, while course-and-distance winner Trinity Girl is also respected.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SOLAR JOE

Lightly raced four-year-old who has been going right way on turf; should stay 1m4f; considered

William Hill Extra Place Races Racing League R16, 1m2f

London and The South hold a strong hand with the hat-trick-seeking Postmark as well as course-and-distance winner Tregony. Natchez Trace, Swatch and Highwaygrey all bid to follow up wins last time out.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: POSTMARK

Looks shrewd buy by new yard based on his recent Lingfield win under Dettori; big player

6.45 Newcastle
William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League R17, 1m

Newcastle was the scene of Baltimore Boy's only win and he could be dangerous on his handicap debut. Keyser Soze and Bringitonboris are also course winners but it is Galiac who is most feared of those with course-winning form, having been second when favourite in the opening contest of this year's Racing League last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: DINGLE

Handicap mark has come down after lesser runs on turf and he's well treated on AW form

7.15 Newcastle
William Hill Pick Your Places Racing League R18, 7f

Fresh Hope bids to reverse the form with Alrehb from when the pair last met in the Racing League. Honky Tonk Man has improved with each handicap run and has won over course and distance along with Zip.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: FRESH HOPE

2-4 in handicaps and ran well at Doncaster latest when meeting traffic; still more to come

7.45 Newcastle
William Hill Bet Boost Racing League R19, 6f

Minnesota Lad could be well in off an opening mark of 82 having run in a couple of decent novice events this season. Fellow handicap debutant Zaman Jemil could make the frame but Glorious Goodwood winner Prairie Falcon has the benefit of slightly more experience and has only been raised 2lb for that success.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: MINNESOTA LAD

Improved display to win 5f maiden at Beverley 15 days ago; 6f could prompt more progress

8.15 Newcastle
William Hill Play Responsibly Racing League R20, 6f

The hat-trick-seeking True Mason is 3-4 since switching to Declan Carroll. Mitrosonfire and Mokaatil landed decent prizes at Newmarket and Sandown respectively.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: VINCE LOMBARDI

Drop back to 6f saw him bolt up in a lesser race last week; major player under a penalty

8.45 Newcastle
William Hill Build Your Odds Racing League R21, 5f

Cuban Breeze was fourth at York's Ebor meeting and is quickly turned out again with Frankie Dettori booked. Stone Circle and Mattice bid to follow up turf wins, the latter of which came on the Racing League's opening night at Doncaster.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: RAYONG

Only 4lb higher than for impressive Pontefract win in April; stiff 5f ideal; interesting
