Something of a head-scratching contest with a number of these runners apparently fairly closely matched, and the over-riding impression being that this race should be run at Newcastle given the Tyneside form-lines on offer. Only
Swissie and
ROCK ON BAILEYS arrive as non-maidens, albeit with
Ghost perhaps less exposed than a few of the others, and probably very much needing the run last month. The selection needs to return in tip-top form if to defy a savage 11lb rise in the weights, but with opposition thin enough on the ground, she could well conceivably bounce out and make all from stall 3 for a trainer who very much knows the time of day with his sprinters.
