Veteran SCOOP THE POT strung some good efforts together at this time last season and a 4 lb rise for Newcastle doesn't look too severe, so he might be capable of following up. Shanroe Al C's excellent British record marks him down as an obvious danger, while Strong Economy certainly knows where the winning post is here.
