DOUBLETHETROUBLE was only beaten a neck into second over 2m at Southwell a couple of weeks ago and the seven-year-old tops the shortlist off just a 1lb higher mark here. Swinging London has been in good form of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Mafia Power edges out Weddell Sea to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Doublethetrouble 2nd Swinging London 3rd Mafia Power

HIGH COURT JUDGE arrives here having won his last four starts and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Show No Fear hit the crossbar over C&D on his most recent outing and should not be underestimated. Jujubella is another with valid form claims, while Percy Willis completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st High Court Judge 2nd Show No Fear 3rd Jujubella

LORD CAPULET confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when filling second place over 7f here last month. With more improvement likely, the son of Make Believe could be hard to stop. Volendam has a similar profile to the selection and has to be of interest, while Fan Mail is another with valid form claims. Last Shamardal is closely related to plenty of winners and any market support for him would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Lord Capulet 2nd Volendam 3rd Fan Mail

FLORIDA DAWN was able to build on an encouraging debut when landing a similar C&D event a fortnight ago and, in receipt of weight from her two most likely competitors, Charlie Johnston's filly can repeat the dose. Miraculous isn't guaranteed to stay this trip and he will need to settle better than he has been so far. Roger Varian's colt merits respect nonetheless, while Kameel, who made a winning debut over track and trip in December, appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Florida Dawn 2nd Miraculous 3rd Kameel

Tempus has slowly been edging down the handicap and there were more encouraging signs at Wolverhampton last time out. Archie Watson's charge can go close, but he might be vulnerable to younger legs and it is INDALO that gets the vote. Worth more than the winning margin would suggest over C&D in November, the Phoenix Of Spain gelding enters handicaps from a potentially workable mark and is likely to mount a bold bid as he looks to maintain his unbeaten record. Longhaired General bolted up in maiden company when last seen in December and is not without a chance returned to handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Indalo 2nd Tempus 3rd Longhaired General

Brazilian Rose's stamina may have been stretched when finishing a close-up third over 7f here 25 days ago and she cannot be taken lightly reverting to 6f. However, Rebecca Menzies' filly is now 5lb higher in the ratings and BEALE STREET is slightly more compelling. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a staying-on third over C&D and compensation could be on the cards racing off an unchanged mark. Fellow in-form rival Biplane is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Beale Street 2nd Brazilian Rose 3rd Biplane

19:25 Newcastle

REBECCA'S GIRL scored over a furlong shorter at this venue seven days ago with something in hand and she makes plenty of appeal remaining in class 6 company. Although a 6lb rise in the ratings demands more from the five-year-old, a double could be imminent. The biggest threat may emerge from fellow last-time-out winner Flash The Dash, while recent C&D runner-up Pallas Lord should give another good account.
Prediction : 1st Rebeccas Girl 2nd Flash The Dash 3rd Pallas Lord
