Forecasts

Boothill (4/5), Tommy's Oscar (7/4), Since Day One (7/1), Saint Segal (14/1), Cormier (28/1), Ganapathi (50/1)

Verdict

This is likely to boil down to a match between TOMMY'S OSCAR and Boothill, particularly if Saint Segal misses the race after his second here on Friday. Boothill has done nothing wrong since switched to fences and won't go down without a fight but he carries a penalty for his latest success at Kempton, a factor which tilts the scales in favour of Tommy's Oscar. Since Day One boasts a fine strike rate but he will do well to confirm Newcastle placings with the selection on these revised terms.

  1. TOMMY'S OSCAR (IRE)
  2. BOOTHILL (IRE)
  3. SINCE DAY ONE (IRE)
