A small field, but a competitive little race lies in store with a couple of improving types in the line up along with C&D standing dish The Resdev Way. Theglasgowwarrior is unbeaten in a couple of starts over this C&D, and the suspicion is that the handicapper won't quite have his measure just yet. His trainer Jim Goldie has enjoyed an excellent start to the calendar year on Tyneside, and he should go very close to notching another course winner. However, another Scottish based runner is narrowly preferred. PADDYPLEX (Keith Dalgleish) lost his unbeaten Flat record over C&D latest when just edged out by Dubawi Fifty, but that still rates as a career best performance, and this Multiplex gelding remains on a steady upward curve.
