Verdict

A prestigious handicap which has been run at Gosforth Park for a number of years since being switched from Chepstow. The 2018 renewal sees the 2016 winner Otago Trail and the 2017 runner-up BISHOPS ROAD amongst those declared, along with the 2018 Eider Chase winner Baywing and the 2015 French Furze winner Ballydine, so there's ample previous Newcastle form on offer. The selection bids to go one better than 12 months ago, and his chance is obvious based on handicap ratings alone (7lb lower). His fencing isn't always his forte, but he jumped adequately around the much discussed Haydock obstacles (3m4f) last weekend when finishing an admirable second to Red Infantry.
  1. Bishops Road
  2. Ballydine
