Forecasts

Endlessly (11/10), Off The Beat (11/8), Doyen Breed (5/1), Banks O' Houxty (7/1), Foxey (12/1), Cyrus Keep (40/1), Crow Stone (100/1), Sailing Away (250/1)

Olly Murphy isn't a regular visitor to Newcastle (2-8; 25%) but he holds a strong hand in this 2m novice contest with the penalised Ayr scorer ENDLESSLY. Settled much better in midfield, he was produced by Richard Johnson with a decisive late challenge to win going away from Sao Maxence and the reopposing Doyen Breed (well held fourth to Black Pirate at Kelso yesterday). His main danger will probably emerge from either the Sandy Thomson-trained C&D winner Off The Beat or the returning five-year-old Foxey.
