17:30 Newcastle

Mango Boy almost certainly has more to come and I thought he was always getting there to win at Yarmouth last time but this is a great deal more competitive and he might just need more experience to be seen to best effect. I prefer the chances of DUAL IDENTITY who had the latter trailing back in fourth when winning impressively over a mile and quarter here last month. He has been beaten twice since then but has lost little in defeat going down narrowly to Tucson Cloud at Leicester and then beaten less than a length by another improver in Cu Chulainn at Lingfield last time. He could still have more to come and given how well this track and surface suits 9/2 could look a decent price. Clear Angel also deserves a mention as he won easily at Wetherby last time and has won over 6f at this track. A 6lb rise was just about enough to put me off though especially over a mile.
