17:10 Newcastle

I think there is an argument that WAVERLEY STAR could be favourite here so the fact he is 11/2 at the time of writing looks decent value. He made all impressively over this trip at Wolverhampton last month and while he could only finish fourth last time he only went down a length and so it was a good effort having gone up 7lb. There is a chance he could get to the front and dominate here and I think he should have more to come off his current mark. Whiteandblue has run well on both starts since joining Grant Tuer so looks the danger with the drop back in trip likely to suit given how forward she was ridden last time. Rose Bandit hasn’t won for a while and couldn’t get dangerous last time. If they go hard she will be trying to finish late so might be worth a bet to hit the frame. Secret Equity is interesting dropping back down to the minimum but again she is often ridden quietly and things might just happen too quickly up front.
Waverley Star - 1pt @ 11/2
