Verdict

PHOLAS is going the right way and shaped well when third from a poor tactical position at Wolverhampton last time. The return to Newcastle should bring more out of her, so she's preferred to Arabic Welcome, who is also on the up, with Absolute Dream also worth considering despite his poor strike rate.

  1. PHOLAS
  2. ARABIC WELCOME (IRE)
  3. ABSOLUTE DREAM (IRE)
