Forecasts

Feel The Need (9/2), Justcallmepete (5/1), Federal Envoy (11/2), Lir Speciale (11/2), Giorgio M (8/1), Abruzzo Mia (9/1), He's A Gentleman (12/1), Judgment Call (14/1), Golden Pharaoh (18/1), Narmar (18/1), Golden Strike (18/1), Power Of Zeus (80/1)

Verdict

FEEL THE NEED was in excellent form at this venue to end 2024 and with his Newcastle run in a much higher grade than this easy to forgive, he's fancied to bounce back. He's A Gentleman and Golden Strike are a couple of potential threats.

  1. Feel The Need9/2
  2. He's A Gentleman12/1
  3. Golden Strike18/1
