Archie Watson has a strong hand at Newcastle as he battles it out with Mick Appleby for the 2017/18 All Weather Championships trainers title. His filly Black Sails has the ability to take this contest, but it's fair to say she's a fraction quirky and that's likely why the first time cheek-pieces are applied. Both Harrogate and Gowanbuster mightn't have her class, but are straightforward performers with the latter almost certain to handle dropping back to 5f, given his hardy sprint relations. However, the horse with potentially more improvement in the locker is COWBOY SOLDIER. He showed bundles of promise on debut at Nottingham in October and is fancied to strike.
