VINDOBALA – (Newcastle 5.30, 2pts win – 5/2)
VINDOBALA has been beaten at progressively shorter odds of 9-4f, 2-1f, 7-4f and 5-6f since beating 11 rivals over 1m here in December, again finding one too good in a five-runner handicap over course and distance last time.
Best when able to get cover off a strong pace, her laseffort took her form figures in fields of 11 or fewer runners to 742454933222 (0-12), as compared to 1831 (2-4) in larger line-ups. However, with nine runners, plenty of pacesetters in opposition and a forecast headwind, everything looks set for a big effort today. The booking of Paul Mulrennan is another positive factor.

ALABLAQ – Newcastle 6.30, 1.5pts win – 7/2
ALABLAQ last-time-out Lingfield fourth to the progressive Impeach in a higher grade was a fine effort, as he fared best of those to come from off the pace in a steadily-run contest. The cut back to 5f for the first time could suit this sometimes-keen sort and George Downing, on board for the gelding’s sole win, rides the straight course well, scoring on five of his 24 mounts over 5f-1m in handicap company here (+£11.50).
