Forecasts

Pickett's Charge (2/1), Billy Roberts (11/4), Field Gun (11/4), Alfred Richardson (7/2), Testa Rossa (5/1), Mudawwan (7/1), Amood (12/1), Street Poet (12/1), Fleetfoot Jack (14/1), Muatadel (25/1), Invermere (100/1)

Without doubt, overall the stronger of the two divisions of this Class 5 1m handicap, but due to the non-appearance of Field Gun equally challenging to solve. Pickett's Charge has gone from strength to strength since landing a sizeable gamble in the very first race of the Northumberland Plate Festival in June, and is entitled to be on the premises despite a 4lb rise for his recent York (7f) defeat. Testa Rossa had excuses latest, but is still handily weighted and always a force to be reckoned with at Gosforth Park, but the back to form MUDAWWAN gets the nod with Josephine Gordon in the saddle, and 'victim' Im Dapper Too expected to go close in Div 1 at 7.45pm.
