Thursday was a difficult day for the Varian/Atzeni combination but the pair will be hopeful of concluding the 2019 Northumberland Plate Festival with a winner courtesy of the unexposed Howman who has proved most productive when allowed to force the early pace. However, he mightn't have things all his own way with the likes of Time Change and Windsor Cross both racing from winning marks, and Lawmaking, Thaayer and Rose Tinted Spirit all being previous Newcastle scorers. However, we'll take a chance on the top-weight ANYTHINGTODAY who is probably a fraction better than a Class 4 handicapper, and has been running well in defeat at Ripon of late.
