GEORGES SAINT has finished second on all three appearances this season and this looks to be an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to finally shed the maiden tag over hurdles. Vandemere showed ability when runner-up on his Rules debut after a lengthy absence over C&D on Boxing Day and has been given sufficient time to recover from that outing. Giovinco and Haveanothergoflo appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Georges Saint 2nd Vandemere 3rd Giovinco

COURT AT SLIP is only 4lb higher than his latest C&D success when relishing the application of first-time blinkers and it would be no surprise to see him back that performance up. Myburg was just beginning to get tired when falling at Sedgefield over 3m3f in January and he can be expected to benefit from dropping back in trip. Westy Fox ran with credit on his debut for Micky Hammond when third at Catterick and warrants respect along with Get With It.
Prediction : 1st Court At Slip 2nd Myburg 3rd Westy Fox

Punchestown Festival heroine LILITH gained her first subsequent victory at Carlisle last month, when bouncing back from a pair of disappointing efforts. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for the daughter of Stowaway to prove a cut above her rivals. Stable companion Good Look Charm may benefit from first-time blinkers following her recent third at Taunton, while Blue Hawaii is capable of better in this discipline.
Prediction : 1st Lilith 2nd Good Look Charm 3rd Blue Hawaii

FRENCHY DU LARGE was only beaten a length into third in a competitive event at Taunton last time and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance. Burrows Diamond disappointed at Uttoxeter when last seen but is a player based on her previous form. A case can be made for all of the remainder but Glittering Love is arguably the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Frenchy Du Large 2nd Burrows Diamond 3rd Glittering Love

15:50 Newcastle

MOONLIGHT GLORY was a ready winner over C&D 10 days ago and a 4lb rise for that success may underestimate this daughter of Fame And Glory. Shir I Dont Know is an obvious threat to the selection having also scored on his most recent outing. Fostered Phil has been running well enough in defeat of late and could also make the frame.
Prediction : 1st Moonlight Glory 2nd Shir I Dont Know 3rd Fostered Phil

16:25 Newcastle

Zwicky didn't convince with his jumping when breaking his maiden over hurdles in a similar contest at Sedgefield and he could be vulnerable off a 4lb higher mark. Having A Barney and Hattons Gardens do have scope for improvement but they need to progress over this trip. Therefore, a chance is taken on ASTROMAN, who has shown promise since being upped in distance and this could finally be his time to shine.
Prediction : 1st Astroman 2nd Zwicky 3rd Having A Barney

CONISTON GEORGE was just edged out by a potentially decent type on his debut at Haydock in December and he can put that experience to good use here. Easter Junction has also showed ability on his racecourse bow and is the main threat to the selection judged on that evidence. Whisky Wolf appeals most of the newcomers and is one to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Coniston George 2nd Easter Junction 3rd Whisky Wolf
