Back on his favoured manor after a rare foray to Wolverhampton last month; finished 2¾L third to Fire Diamond. Always respected at this track over 7f to 1m.

Hasn't managed to win at his local track on Tapeta just yet, but has run well on all four previous visits. Effective between 1m and 1m2f, but might just need this race; being his first start since late July.

Cost 100,000 gns as a juvenile, and took a 1m Wolverhampton maiden in impressive fashion back in March. Off for seven months thereafter and hasn't picked up the thread at all in handicap company. Switch back to Tapeta offers a much needed plus.

Not the easiest to win with, but generally runs well at Newcastle, and both career successes have come over C&D. Remains 5lb higher than when beating Thello by 1¾L in October.

The pick of his seven AW efforts have come over this C&D, and he really caught the eye latest when a keeping on second to subsequent Southwell winner Malaspina. Up 2lb, but well handicapped and looks poised to strike.

Has won two of his three career starts, including by a short-head in a 1m Lingfield claimer last month. Mark unchanged, but this represents a much stiffer test.

Lightly raced overall, but hadn't shown much since his debut success at Southwell in April 2016 (5f), until a slightly stronger showing over C&D latest. That said; more is needed.

Hasn't won since August 2015, and is very light on AW experience. Raced just twice in 2017 and was well down the field on both occasions. Off since mid May, so easily ignored.

Broke a long losing sequence in the Leger Legends Classified Stakes at Doncaster in September (1m soft). Hasn't quite kicked on since then without necessarily being disgraced and seemed to handle Tapeta okay here latest (met trouble in running).

Has plenty of experience at this track, but with both of his course successes coming over 1m2f. Beaten 1¾L by Newmarket Warrior over C&D on his penultimate start, yet better off at the weights tonight, so a reversal looks likely.

Has raced just the once on the Flat since taking a 7f (soft) Redcar handicap for David O'Meara by 1¼L in October 2015. Has been with Barbara Butterworth and Barry Murtagh since, and is now switched to another new stable away from hurdling.

100/1
A three time 1m2f turf winner for previous trainer Adrian Keatley, but has offered precious little in three starts for this trainer (hurdles and AW), and couldn't be entertained after a particularly woeful display over C&D late last month.

Forecasts

Newmarket Warrior (4/1), Rock Warbler (4/1), Thello (9/2), Wicker (11/2), Planetaria (8/1), Prancing Oscar (8/1), Rockwood (9/1), Enigmatic (10/1), Off Art (10/1), Sumner Beach (14/1), William Sayle (20/1), Le Roi Du Temps (25/1), Scrutiny (33/1), Nice Vintage (100/1)

Verdict

Both Newmarket Warrior and Thello are no strangers to Newcastle, and thankfully for the pair, there are clearly no shortage of 1m to 1m2f low grade handicaps here to contest. The former is difficult to win with, whilst the latter is perhaps strongest over 1m2f, but nevertheless, both horses should be thereabouts. Off Art could have more to offer on the AW (just the sole start so far), but he finished behind the selection PLANETARIA over C&D last month. Julie Camacho's four-year-old (bought for £11,000 in August) is well handicapped on the pick of his past form, and he really caught the eye in chasing home subsequent Southwell scorer Malaspina latest. A 2lb rise is neither here nor there, and he potentially represents some real value in a very winnable contest.
