2/1

Improved since switching to AW, winning last two Newcastle mile handicaps, including at 9/4 ten days ago, leading in final 50 yards. Carries 6lb penalty but improving form suggests he should go well again in a similar race.

5/6

Improving sort who won at this C&D 50 days ago at 22/1 and also in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield Park over 8f (5/1) 11 days ago from worst of draw, flicking tail late on but no faulting his attitude. Strong-travelling style ideal for AW racing and could land hat-trick despite 6lb rise.

Has fair AW form including a close second at Kempton and finished sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (14/1) 9 days ago, took strong hold racing wide before running one-paced. Step up in trip could suit if settling better.

TOWERLANDS continues to improve, winning at this C&D before following up at Lingfield despite a poor draw. His strong-travelling style is perfect for all-weather racing and he can land the hat-trick. Priapos has won his last two Newcastle mile handicaps and is the danger also carrying a 6lb penalty, while Thiscouldbefun could bounce back from a below-par effort.
