All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably.

Modest 2-27 strike-rate but he has run just four times for this yard and went very close behind Camera Shy at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; one of his wins came here and he's a leading contender.

Inconsistent last year and he can have issues at the start; however, he's feasibly treated on the pick of his 2025 efforts and his trainer's horses can go well when fresh; not ruled out.

Front-runner who won three in a row over C&D at the start of the year and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last time; the return to Newcastle could be a plus and he's firmly in calculations.

Three-time course winner who was runner-up over C&D last month; respectable efforts over 6f here on both starts since and he could improve upon those now back up in trip; each-way claims.
