Forecasts

Take Centre Stage (8/11), Secret Plan (7/2), Hide Out (15/2), Blue Bear (17/2), Augharue (10/1)

TAKE CENTRE STAGE was dominant under Brian Hughes at Newcastle recently and, if in a similar mood here, he will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Secret Plan is open to improvement in this sphere and he is preferred to long-standing maiden Hide Out for forecast purposes.
