A low draw can often prove disadvantageous over the straight mile at Newcastle (admittedly more pronounced in fields of 10+ runners) and those in the outer berths here don't make a great deal of appeal. Meanwhile, First Response (8), PAPARAZZI (4) and Vive La Difference (2) have interwoven C&D form lines in an otherwise difficult looking Class 4 handicap. For small-stakes, and with a 3lb weights sway, the token advice is to side with the ultra-consistent Tracy Waggott-trained runner who may just strip fitter than when beaten by First Response on his return to action in mid-January.
