A very ordinary and winnable maiden, but unfortunately for punters the horses are all very much of a muchness. David O'Meara saddles a couple of runners, and the unraced Port Soif could be capable of making a winning debut, particularly if the market speaks in her favour, whilst Sexy Legs was useful in Ireland for David Wachman and will surely do better for Rebecca Menzies than Lucinda Egerton. However, one final opportunity can be given to ARNARSON. He should have done far better than he has since making a pleasing start to his career, but the combination of a return to Newcastle and the powerful Luke Morris in the saddle might just prove enough to convince him to put his best foot forward.
