The fences at Newcastle tend to take some jumping for a novice, and this could prove to be an eventful affair with a few of these inexperienced chasers prone to give the odd fence a nudge, so mistakes could be prevalent if Point The Way and Central Flame choose to do battle up front again. Very First Time is the most obvious winner granted a safe passage, but this race isn't a gimme. Bako De La Saulaie should strip fitter for his first start in 12 months and is one to keep a close eye upon for the future, so a chance is taken on TEDDY TEE at decent odds. He arguably isn't the most resolute, and could ideally be suited by more testing conditions, but this galloping track will suit his unlimited stamina reserves, and he could stay on strongest of all late to pick up the pieces.
