12:55 Newcastle

I have been waiting to see BRAD THE BRIEF again and while things didn’t go to plan on Champions Day his two wins at Haydock and the Curragh prior to that are very good form. He beat Glen Shiel and then Mooneista who are both solid yardsticks. He remains lightly raced for a 6yo and likely represents decent value here. Tiber Flow is a horse I had on my radar for much of last season but it didn’t really pay to follow him and I think he could be opposable as favourite for this. He has the sort of profile where he is often overbet and that could be the case again in this. Spycatcher won impressively at Thirsk on reappearance and then ran a cracker when fourth in the Victoria Cup so no surprise if he puts up the most resistance.
