First Class Catering From Newcastle Falcons Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

Malinas gelding who has found one too strong on both starts in bumpers so far, beaten much further than on debut 6 months earlier but still probably running to a similar level at Ayr (16f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Every chance he will make it third time lucky.

Form: 2-2

Fast Work¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

Workforce gelding who looked green when seventh of 10 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on debut just under 3 weeks ago, outpaced from 3f out. Needs to build on that.

Form: 7

He's Bresilian³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

Blue Bresil gelding who had failed to complete in 2 points but shaped with a little more encouragement when fourth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) just under 5 weeks ago, unsurprisingly caught a little for speed when it mattered. Fancied to be bang there with that under his belt.

Form: FP-4

King Kodiak

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley

Arctic Cosmos gelding. €2,800F. Fifth foal. Dam unraced, from family of very smart 2m/2½m chaser The Outback Way.

Form:

Noble George

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Fin And Game, stayed 19f, and bumper winner/fair hurdler Nell's Bells. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/smart chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Peddlers Cross. Debutant to consider.

Form:

Spectress

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

Passing Glance mare. Dam (h105), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (15f-17f winner) Fair Loch.

Forecasts

Bespoke Tailor (5/4), He's Bresilian (9/4), Noble George (7/1), Spectress (8/1), Fast Work (12/1), King Kodiak (16/1)

BESPOKE TAILOR has found just one too strong on both starts so far so Ewan Whillans' 4-y-o is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of He's Bresilian, who shaped with a more encouragement than he had in a couple of points when fourth at Carlisle last month. Noble George makes most paper appeal of the newcomers so can occupy third place.
