Sectarius - 15:22 Newcastle

Flags: Horse In Focus, Top-Rated

Sectarius was well backed on his first start for Ed Bethell (previously with Pat Murphy) when upped markedly in trip over this course and distance in October and he rewarded that support with a decisive length-and-a-quarter success.

Sectarius was slowly into stride and held up in a race run at a steady gallop but, despite that disadvantage, he was good enough to come from last to first, proving strong inside the final furlong.

That performance represented a marked improvement on his previous efforts in handicap company and a 5 lb rise in the weights could underestimate him, particularly as he remains unexposed for this yard and over middle-distances.
