Call Me Betty⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Gray| T: M Dods| OR: 75| CD

9/4

Has shown solid form with two seconds and a third in handicaps, performing best on AW. Won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (2/1) 49 days ago, dictating pace and kicking on over 2f out. Can give another good account in a race without much pace on paper.

Form: 192321

7/2

Won over 7f at Wolverhampton 61 days ago and finished third of 11 in handicap at same course (7/1) 26 days ago, held up before keeping on nearest at the finish. Consistent sort should give her running again.

Kindest Nation^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: H Palmer| OR: 73| D

16/1

Inconsistent this season with one standout effort when third at Haydock. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (22/1) 26 days ago, racing wide and never threatening. Comes with risks attached.

Soho Square²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 73| CD

7/2

Won a novice at this C&D in May, then second at Southwell in October before finishing fourth of 11 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (9/2) 26 days ago. Still early days for new yard and too soon to dismiss.

Form: 9-1824

Brazilian Rose^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Menzies| OR: 71| BF| C| D

11/2

All-weather specialist with 3 wins at Newcastle. Ran well when 4th of 12 in handicap at this course (4/1) 13 days ago, settling better in first-time hood. Strong contender if continues to settle with the hood retained over this slightly longer trip.

Samra Star¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 69| CD

6/1

Successful over course and distance in October, then fourth of 10 in handicap here (11/1) 13 days ago when running on after meeting trouble. Tendency to dwell at the start means she often needs luck in running.

Maldevious³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 68

18/1

Showed Fair form in maiden/novice races, then improved following 12 months off when finishing fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7/1) 33 days ago on AW debut, leading until final 1f. Player if she can back that up on first run for new trainer.

Form: 8437-4

Amelia's Joy¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: M Herrington| OR: 63

50/1

Placed twice in Newcastle 6f maidens last year but last of 12 at Southwell (40/1) 111 days ago in first-time hood, never involved on stable/handicap. Hood removed for this return but will need to improve for the step up to 7f.

Form: 733-0

Forecasts

Call Me Betty (9/4), Hilltop (7/2), Soho Square (7/2), Brazilian Rose (11/2), Samra Star (6/1), Angel Of Rain (12/1), Kindest Nation (16/1), Maldevious (18/1), Amelia's Joy (50/1)

BRAZILIAN ROSE already has three wins at Newcastle and having settled better for the addition of a hood last time, she's fancied to resume winning ways back up in trip. Call Me Betty is respected having dictated matters when successful over C&D 49 days ago and could make another bold bid. Maldevious is also worth a market check on debut for Brian Ellison.
