10/11
Bravely fended off a couple of respected rivals (Charlie Appleby and John Gosden-trained) when succeeding in a driving finish at Kempton (1m) 23-days ago; faces a different test tonight under a penalty but should have the required nous.

90,000gns yearling; looked in need of the experience at Dundalk (1m maiden) staying on pleasingly and finishing approximately 2L fourth to Numerian (runner-up in a handicap since); a first Newcastle runner for this County Kildare trainer.

12/1
Half-brother to a couple of winners (7f-1m); slowly away on debut over C&D last week (20/1) when finishing eighth of 13 to the odds-on shot Sparkle in His Eye (William Haggas).

Forecasts

Creationist (10/11), Formal Order (11/10), Three Castles (12/1)

Verdict

County Kildare trainer Johnny Murtagh saddles his first ever Newcastle runners tonight with Formal Order seeking to build upon a promising debut at Dundalk three weeks ago. However, the penalised CREATIONIST is probably more streetwise. A brave winner in a three-way tussle at Kempton, he should have the greater nous for the tactical battle which will no doubt ensue.
  1. Creationist
  2. Formal Order
  3. Three Castles
