Verdict

Competitive in terms of numbers, albeit with a few longstanding maidens with reasonable place chances, so not the strongest of apprentice handicaps to conclude. SPIRIT OF THE VALE has shown a clear affinity for this track, and with young Connor Murtagh effectively removing the penalty and more from her latest success, there must be every chance that she can remain unbeaten at Newcastle and make it three from three over this C&D.
  1. Spirit Of The Vale
  2. Strummer
  3. Kicking The Can
