Verdict

NEWPORT made an encouraging start for his new yard when third at Sedgefield last month, form boosted by the winner scoring again next time, and he can build on that effort to get off the mark. A pair of handicap hurdle debutants could be the main dangers, with Romancier feared most ahead of Crimson Road.
