Newcastle (14h40)
Pick : Thornton Alice
Second of 10 in Wetherby bumper for Ian McInnes before £5,000 sale in August; poor on hurdling debut but respectable 2nd here next time behind an odds-on chance of Donald McCain's, albeit off a dawdling gallop; up in trip but half-sister stayed 3m+ and this is probably a weak race. In frame both starts in bumpers. Improved effort second time up over hurdles when chasing home a subsequent winner over 2m here (heavy going) last month. Obvious claims if stamina holds out.
Odds : 3
Stake : 3/10
Book : Bet365
Result : +6
