As wide open as the nearby village which shares that name. The Armed Man won well at Thirsk last week and is respected on this vastly different track, but he's already shown he can handle these conditions when fourth here in August so has to be high on any short-list. However, plenty of others hold similar chances with many horses already being Newcastle 'regulars'. Caesar The Gaesar catches the eye back from a break, Burtonwood loves this track (AW or turf), Inshaa is solid yet remains a maiden whilst Epeius is gradually progressing for the in-form Ben Haslam. However, the race could be set up for a finisher, and the first-time blinkered AMBITIOUS ICARUS will most likely get going late, but will be lashing home inside the final furlong and he's a sporting bet at the likely odds.
