Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 60| CD

6/1

Inconsistent performer who won at Redcar (7f) in June and was third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 57 days ago, led briefly but kept on. Could be competitive if reproducing that latest effort.

Form: 8-38173

Rooska²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 58

8/1

Has shown improved form in recent Newcastle runs, finishing third of 9 in handicap (8f) at 17/2 211 days ago, keeping on well and confirming stamina. Worth considering with solid course form to his name.

Form: 68/8-423

Northern Cracksman^b,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 57| C

6/1

Better on AW than turf, with previous success at this course. Finished 12th of 14 in handicap at Southwell (28/1) 14 days ago when returning from a break and likely needed the run. Blinkers back on and could be more competitive returning to a track where he's previously won.

Form: 259570

Ignac Lamar²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| D

5/1

Better performer on AW than turf with 5 wins from 49 starts. Finished second of 14 in handicap at this course and distance (14/1) 21 days ago, making plenty of late ground after being slowly into stride and not getting a clear run. Strong candidate at this venue with his higher AW mark.

Forecasts

Yafaarr (9/4), Ignac Lamar (5/1), Front Gunner (6/1), Vizzavona Lady (6/1), Northern Cracksman (6/1), Rooska (8/1), Yaahobby (12/1), Laura's Breeze (22/1), Cable Beach (28/1), Wyvern (28/1), Genius Mistake (125/1)

IGNAC LAMAR caught the eye when finishing second over course and distance 21 days ago, making plenty of late headway despite traffic problems. Better on all-weather than turf with five wins, he looks a strong candidate at this venue. Northern Cracksman should strip fitter for his recent comeback run and has previous course success, while Rooska has shown improved Newcastle form but returns from a 211-day absence.
