17:45 Newcastle

The Grant Tuer trained TOMMY TAYLOR (best priced at 9-4) has won his previous four starts all at Newcastle and despite running here off a 10lb higher mark than his first win, he should be involved in the finish. Oliver Stammers has been fantastic in the saddle so far this season and is currently operating at a 43% strike rate in the last 14 days and he retains the ride on the eight-year-old gelding.

Tommy Taylor runs here under a 4lb penalty for his latest victory where he only won by ¾ length but that was in a stronger 0-85 handicap and he should prove hard to beat off top weight in this 0-75 handicap.

The 10/11 quotes about under 2.5 goals also makes plenty of sense here. Brighton games have seldom seen three or more goals, in fact the unders has copped in 18/23 Brighton league games this season.

Four of the last five league games at Old Trafford have seen fewer than three goals too and I think there will be respect from both coaches and it could lead to a tight and tactical affair.
