Newcastle 19:30 Odds Comparison

Clearly thriving for new yard, winning back-to-back handicaps over 7f/1m at Southwell since returning from a 3-month break in January. Did the job well last time, only needing to be pushed out, and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks.

Notched third C&D win in September but he hasn't fired on all cylinders in 2 runs since returning from a break in January.

Four-time course winner who came home a creditable third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 28 days ago, despite missing the break. Cheekpieces refitted and he's a solid-looking each-way candidate.

C&D winner in October and latest sixth of 10 in handicap over 7f here in December was respectable, finishing with running left after encountering traffic problems at a crucial stage. Cheekpieces back on and he could have a part to play.

Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Lack of an end-to-end gallop counted against him on that occasion and, likely to get a strong pace to aim at here, he's one to consider.

C&D winner in January and put in another good shift here when second of 10 in a handicap 21 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Below par sixth of 11 in a 7f handicap here when returning from a break 49 days ago. Now 2 lb lower and should come on for that run but some of the others are more appealing all the same.

Fairly useful sort who had plenty of solid handicap form for Henry de Bromhead and made it second time lucky for present connections when accounting for 7 rivals at Newmarket (7f, good) in November. Resumes on a 2 lb higher mark and won't be far away if ready to roll.

Gained second success here in September and he was a respectable sixth of 11 in handicap back here (1¼m) in November. Opposable on this occasion.

Creditable third of 12 in claimer at Dundalk (1m) 42 days ago but sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to make a winning start for new connections here.

Five-time course winner who was a creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 35 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and visor refitted. Looks vulnerable.

Lightly-raced maiden who didn't run at all badly when third of 10 in a first-time tongue strap (retained) in a C&D novice back from a break for new yard last month. Still, he'll need to raise his game considerably in order to make a winning handicap bow.
