16:30 Newcastle – Likeashadow
LIKEASHADOWN is now in the last chance saloon to finally get his head back in front. I’m going to give him one more roll of the dice as his Ryder made up a massive amount of ground from the back of the pack to get into contention in a very short space of time at this level. That’s nearly impossible to get away with so over a course and distance that suits him he can finally get that overdue third success on the board.
16:40 Wolverhampton – Majed
MAJED got a deserved victory after running over a few distances that are probably going to end up being short of his best. He hit the line strongly over the extended mile last time and jumps up fully 3 1/2 furlongs in distance again. Given his pedigree, he could still have a long way to climb from a lowly, looking perch of 85.
17:30 Newcastle – Smokey Mountain
SMOKEY MOUNTAIN has built himself a very impressive record, only finishing out of the first two places on one occasion from seven attempts. He arguably should be coming in off the back of another victory and the handicapper has given him a gentle nudge up the handicap for a short head second last time. It’s his first try here and a stiff seven furlongs looks ideal.
19:00 Newcastle – Concert Boy
It’s been a little while since the team ran CONCERT BOY over what could end up being his correct distance of the long sprint. He challenged inside the final furlong last time, and then came up for air in the closing stages, suggesting that this is the right move. He’s 11lb below his peak rating and looks to have landed in the ideal spot.

19:15 Wolverhampton – Max Vega
MAX VEGA humped into a rejuvenated runner in Teumessias Fox when running an absolute cracker at Kempton last time. In an ideal scenario, they go very quick and he can be dropped in and played late up the straight at Wolverhampton. However this race is not loaded with natural speed so he may have to do some of the donkey work early on.
19:45 Wolverhampton – Kingdom Come
KINGDOM COME brings in a perfect 100% record being three from three on synthetic so far. On top of that they, have all been over this distance as well. He’s a pretty straightforward type who has shown an ability to go well and is fresh having won twice already off a little absence. He looks primed to return to the winner’s enclosure after a 224 day break.
