Form & Verdict
She had been threatening this winter prior to her game 7f win at Southwell nine days ago; no obvious reason why she wouldn't take to this track and she should remain competitive up 2lb.

Three most recent wins have come over C&D, the latest in March; has remained in form, though she bled from the nose when third at Southwell (7f) in April; if showing no ill effects she shouldn't be too far away.

Form & Verdict
Ran out the easy winner of a 6f classified event at Southwell last month and he has run well in defeat in two runs since, latterly second of nine (beaten a neck) at Wolverhampton; up 2lb but still has handicapping scope; not at best in two previous visits to Newcastle.
