Very competitive, and the clear highlight on tonight's Newcastle card.
Kenny The Captain appears very well suited by this C&D, and a winner here in the more distant past on grass, he has built a pleasing course record since the conversion to Tapeta (3,2,1,2). He has been raised 3lb since his latest narrow defeat by Boy In The Bar last month, but he was successful from a 3lb higher mark last November, so that's unlikely to stop him from winning.
Mont Kiara should have the measure of old foe
Glenamoy Lad on revised terms from Newmarket, assuming that he handles the switch to Tapeta, whilst the once classy
Tropics is now very well handicapped for Dean Ivory. However, the selection is
RIGHT TOUCH. He has raced consistently of late on turf over 7f, and is seemingly strongest over this shorter trip. He looks handicapped to go very close from a mark which is 9lb lower than when beaten just under 1L by Steel Train over 7f here in December 2016.
