Favourite backers in clover at Newcastle

>>Favourite backers at Newcastle enjoyed a bumper day after the market leaders were successful in five of the six races.

Despite the favourable results, the Placepot paid a tidy £63.40 to a £1 dividend and that can be explained by the small fields.

Two of the six legs featured four or fewer runners, meaning the winner was required, while in a further three legs only the first two was enough to progress.
