Verdict

A race rescheduled from the cancelled St Patrick's Day fixture in March and with no each-way betting angle is poorly supported by trainers in the North who have cited a lack of opportunities for their horses. Florrie Knox is just a second ever Newcastle runner for Alex Hales, and he could have more in the locker after idling when scoring at Market Rasen last month. However, with trip concerns about a couple of the others including Grand Morning and Henry's Joy, the lightly raced TRIXSTER could be the solution. Still a maiden he clearly has some improvement to find, but this isn't a deep race for the prize money offered.
