Verdict

A tight opener with the market potentially holding the most informative clues. Jim Goldie does well with his Newcastle runners and the Kilmarnock handler is doubly-represented with Loud And Clear and Restive. Lady Kyria is an unexposed newcomer for Phil Kirby, whilst the enigmatic Ajman Prince struts his stuff at Gosforth Park for the first time since December 2016. Illustrissime should figure prominently towards the fore of the market having ended the turf season in form, but a sporting bet at more rewarding odds is PLAY IT COOL. He hasn't demonstrated his peak AW form for Les Eyre yet but could well appreciate the long Newcastle home straight.
