Today's Newcastle (AW) Tips, Racecards And Results

Newcastle results (Tapeta) — 05 September 2026

Yesterday’s Tapeta card at Newcastle produced a number of notable performances. Rubellite (4/1) delivered a strong late surge to take the 16:10 fillies’ handicap for Stephen Hanlon and Conor Whiteley, while Reformation justified favouritism in the 17:20 novice stakes. St Helier made all impressively in the 17:57 novice, and Lady Kodiac, Storm Esme and Starliner all produced decisive late runs to secure victories in their respective handicaps. The big shock of the evening came in the 19:30 Free Tips on attheraces.com Handicap (Div I) where Spartan Fighter landed the spoils at 80/1. There were a few pre-race incidents: Sharona and Sunriseontheboyne were withdrawn via self-certificates, Alkumatic Dan unseated and was loose before the start, and a dead-heat was recorded for third place in the 19:30 contest.

Key takeaways

• Short-priced and favoured types held up well—Reformation (11/10) and Starliner (6/4) both performed to expectations. 
• The card produced both a long-odds upset and comfortable, authoritative victories: Spartan Fighter (80/1) battled on gamely to win, whereas Finn Ironside and St Helier were effectively unchallenged in their victories.
 • Jockey-trainer combinations to note: Conor Whiteley rode the opener’s winner Rubellite for Stephen Hanlon, and Tom Eaves got a commanding front-running success on St Helier for Kevin Ryan.
