Verdict

With all due respect to connections, this race is an absolutely dire contest, and Newcastle should in truth be delivering much better on a Saturday afternoon. Many of these riders have considerably more experience than others, and in such a poor contest that can often be of far more importance to the actual horses themselves. Therefore, a chance is taken on the mare CATCHTHEMOONLIGHT, despite her being 9lb higher than when winning at Hexham in November 2016. Blair Campbell is a useful rider, and her trainer Lucinda Russell notched a double at Hexham on Thursday.
