Former pointer; finished runner-up on debut for Fergal O'Brien (9-2) in an AW bumper at Lingfield Park (2m, std/slow) in November; that form arguably isn't the strongest on offer.
Has shown definite signs of ability; was beaten just under 3L by Elios D'Or (debutant It'llcomein fifth) at Musselburgh (1m7½f, good to soft) early in the New Year; merits respect.
French bred newcomer (cost €4,000 as a 3yo); 11th foal; half-brother to four winners, including Don Bersy (2m-2m1f hurdle/chase) and Prince De Bersy (2m2f-2m6f hurdles); doubly-represented trainer is 1-48 (2%) in NHF races.
Raced twice in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell prior to switching to Ian Williams (also saddles Dirty Diana); finished seventh of 14 (20-1) in a Lingfield Park AW bumper (2m std/slow) six weeks ago.
Getaway gelding (cost €19,000 as a 3yo); half-brother to a bumper winner; raced keenly and weakened from the two furlong pole when thrashed (fourth) by the impressive Champagnesuperover at Ayr (2m, soft) seven weeks ago; stablemate of It'llcomein.
Former pointer (changed hands for £65,000 in May 2019); kept on under pressure (outpaced) when finishing fourth to Ask A Honey Bee on rules debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) three weeks ago; can do better with that experience banked.
Once raced Siyouni mare (cost €25,000 as a yearling); could only keep on at the one pace when fifth of 11 to Third Time Lucki in a maiden bumper at Market Rasen (2m½f, soft) in early December; stablemate of Long March.
Home bred mare (from the point/2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Micro Mission); carries the black and white stripes of local businessman Dave Armstrong; trainer Chris Grant has his small string in fair form at present.
Predominantly in the rear when finishing seventh of ten (28-1) on debut here (2m, heavy) in mid-November; stablemate of the French bred newcomer Falcone De Bersy.
Proclamation mare; dam Turbo Linn was a useful dual purpose performer; tailed-off on debut (50-1) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; only of interest if the market speaks positively or else can be easily ignored.
Stablemate of Miraculous Getaway; ran a fair race (fifth) on debut at Musselburgh (1m7½f, gd/sft) early in the New Year; open to further improvement (needed to reverse placings with Empty Quarter (second)); is in safe hands with Richard Fahey.
Proclamation filly; dam (Lady Counsellor) was placed in a Fibresand bumper and is a sister to Turbo Linn (the dam of Thankq); the Selkirk trainer Stuart Coltherd is 1-54 (2%) in NHF races during his training career.
Sageburg filly from a Danehill Dancer mare; finished runner-up on debut at Wetherby (1m4½f, soft) last month, beaten 5L by fellow 5-2jf Maridadi; this mightn't be a true test of her stamina (at 2m), so she enters calculations.
Forecasts
Tupelo Mississippi (5/2), Empty Quarter (4/1), She'soneofourown (11/2), Dirty Diana (15/2), Courtandbould (15/2), It'llcomein (17/2), Long March (17/2), Miraculous Getaway (20/1), Falcone De Bersy (25/1), Donna's Diva (40/1), She's A Dancer (50/1), Milly On Air (50/1), Thankq (150/1)
Not exactly the kind of contest for voicing a strong and forceful opinion. It's entirely possible that the questionable stamina reserves of SHE'SONEOFOUROWN mightn't be put fully to the test here at Newcastle (so often a sedate pace in 2m AW bumpers) in which case the lightly-weighted Harry Whittington-trained runner should play a prominent role. Furthermore, assuming such a scenario develops, that will hinder Brian Ellison's Tupelo Mississippi. Others worthy of serious consideration include the closely matched Empty Quarter and It'llcomein.
