T: Mark Usher

All five of his wins have come at Newcastle; it has been a long time since the last of them but a second wind op seemed to do the trick earlier in the year, finishing second at Chelmsford and over C&D; absent since March but he has to be taken seriously off his lowly mark.

Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that.

Slow-starter who broke losing run over C&D in December; good run here last time behind Biplane but he's the type who needs things to slot perfectly into place.
