Newcastle maiden winner (10f) at 2 yrs. Consistent in defeat subsequently, third of 4 in a C&D handicap 14 days ago and fitting of a visor may put an extra edge on him.

THE VEGAS RAIDER has improved for the step up in trip, going down fighting when just touched off over C&D 2 weeks ago. He looks sure to go well again and earns the vote. Good Soul is less exposed than most and is also worth a look back on an artificial surface, whilst Fandabidozi and Damned Elusive are consistent and can also get in the shake-up.

  1. THE VEGAS RAIDER (IRE)
  2. GOOD SOUL
  3. FANDABIDOZI (IRE)
