The top-weight Red Phoenix is shortlisted after making a solid nursery debut at Kempton, albeit with the acknowledgement that competing over the straight mile at Newcastle is a completely different test. MELGATE MAJEURE has shown improved form of late and broke his duck when scoring on his AW debut over 7f here last month. A subsequent 6lb rise in the handicap will make life tougher but he remains lightly-weighted and could be suited by stepping up in trip. Others to consider include My Ukulele and Klipperty Klopp.
