1.35 Newcastle

Dubawi Fifty may well be very hard to beat if repeating last run over CD when winning very well, slightly better race today and a 6lb rise makes things little tougher but clearly progressive and sure to make a very decent jumper soon. Stamford Raffles might be worth a small chance at a price decent winner at Chelmsford over 1m5f at Chelmsford and followed up in game fashion over this CD. Ran a poor race on latest start over 2mile trip at Chelmsford shapes as if he could be the sort to bounce back and get back to the progression he showed previously.

 

1pt e/w Stamford Raffles 9/1 bet365

 

2.45 Newcastle

An extremely poor event even by classified stakes standards atleast Canford Belle has shown glimmers of hope, clearly doesn’t have any turn of foot and therefore a return to 7f could be important along with the fact she has atleast been generally respectful. As I often say with events like these and class 7 handicaps its best to stick with inform sorts rather than those who looks well treated or handicapped as it this level it makes little to no difference.

 

2pt win Canford Belle 9/4

 

6.45 Wolverhampton

Canford Thompson made a promising start to his career with this yard last time out over this trip at Newcastle behind the decent and course specialist Taopix. Still a maiden on the flat but looks as though he may be finding his feet 2lb rise and the booking of Joe Fanning looks a strong one.

 

2pt win Canford Thompson 3/1 bet365
