These 1m Class 4 and Class 5 Newcastle handicaps appear more and more competitive by the meeting, so one could take plenty of pot-shots at solving this particular puzzle without necessarily hitting the target. The likes of Testa Rossa, Newmarket Warrior and Tukhoom are standing dishes at Gosforth Park, whilst far less exposed types in this race include the three-year-old's Merweb and Gilded Heaven. However, in seeking each-way value, a couple against the field are Kilbaha Lady (possibly stronger for a recent run) and the highly-drawn SOMEWHERE SECRET who should soon find a winning opportunity on the AW from his current handicap mark of 62.
