The 6year old gelding has run all his six all-weather races at Newcastle, with a single course and distance win to his name off a 2lb higher mark than today, and ridden by the same jockey. His last race was a little disappointing, having given the impression in running he would be in the shake-up, only to fade in the last furlong, At least half the field look to have a good chance, with the likely favourite, Imperial Command, having to carry a 5lb penalty, off-set by a claimers allowance. It could worth a modest win/place interest at the generally available price of 7/1.
