Verdict

The short-list appears rather obvious. David Simcock has sent plenty of nice horses to Newcastle during the past twelve months of racing on Tapeta, and the gelded HUGIN gets the vote on stable debut. He still has time on his side, and despite leaving the care of David Wachman, he has joined another astute handler, and it's notable that Jamie Spencer travels North from York to ride. Mio Ragazzo has a strong Italian pedigree and is much respected for Marco Botti, as is Katheef (Mark Johnston).
