Forecasts

Grandfather Tom (9/4), Lord Of The Glen (3/1), Marietta Robusti (4/1), Wiff Waff (9/2), Knockout Blow (5/1)

The smallest field of the night, but a trappy affair which features some in-form horses. Lord Of The Glen and Wiff Waff know each other well, and the latter named of that pair is narrowly preferred assuming that the first time hood can help him to settle better than previously. Marietta Robusti is seeing the majority of her AW form-lines franked with each day that passes, and she's improved since being beaten by GRANDFATHER TOM at Lingfield last month. However, whilst Newcastle is a very different test of a sprinter to Lingfield Park, we'll opt to stick with the form that is in the book and chance that the Robert Cowell trained sprinter can notch a hat-trick.
