It doesn't take Albert Einstein to swiftly deduct that the pair to concentrate upon are the John Gosden-trained
MARECHAL NEY and the Saeed Bin Suroor-trained
Forest View. The Godolphin runner has the advantage of race fitness following her creditable second to the unbeaten Outbox at Leicester in September, but the Frankel colt sets the form standard based on his Sandown third (1m2f) in June. Furthermore, his trainer John Gosden (24-63; 38%) has a better overall strike-rate at Newcastle since May 2016 than Saeed Bin Suroor (11-46; 24%).
