3:35 Newcastle Tips

The 6yo was a close 3rd of 14 in this £77K handicap last year, and a 5 lb lower mark should give him a chance this time around. Only four runs since, but he’s in great shape and was beaten by less than a length in a quality Listed race four weeks ago.

Only a 12th of 14 over CD back in January, but won the 3yo Handicap at this meeting last year. May well have been targeted to this meeting after that effort. Has gone well enough since that win to show the higher mark is still winnable, and being gelded may well improve things too. Oisin Murphy rides. Good chance with 4 places on offer.
