FLYING FLETCHER made good late headway when fifth at Yarmouth and is down markedly in grade returning to a venue where he's won twice before. Tasever has an excellent Newcastle record with all four career wins achieved here and should strip fitter after needing his recent run. Blazing Son is very reliable on all-weather surfaces and is a player.
