Plenty of Newcastle regulars renew battle in this maximum field straight mile cavalry charge. Both Testa Rossa and Rock Warbler are fully signed up members of the Tapeta appreciation society and have thrived here over recent months, but maybe the handicapper will finally begin to stunt their growth tonight. The visor could work the oracle for So It's War, whilst Roller looks likely to be suited by a return to this trip. However, a chance is taken that EASTERN DRAGON can replicate his October C&D success from just a four pounds higher mark in the capable hands of Callum Rodriguez. 1. Eastern Dragon 2. Roller 3.
