Rocket can defy penalty and shoot to success at Newcastle

Newmarket: David Milnes

Nicklaus (1.30 Redcar, nap)

The son of Exceed And Excel may have run into a smart type when fifth to Corrosive at Kempton last time. William Haggas' youngster has moved forward from that and this looks winnable.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Bollihope (5.40 Newcastle)

Took a liking to this course and distance when first past the post in three starts late last year and looks well-treated for this return to synthetics.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Emerald Rocket (6.15 Newcastle)

Made a successful all-weather debut over 7f here ten days ago and Karl Burke's youngster can defy a penalty over over a furlong further.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Foundation Man (2.15 Wincanton)

Hasn't been at his best recently, but is now 5lb lower than when last successful and can't be ruled out in an open-looking race.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Massif Central (8.30 Dundalk)

Placed on five of his eight starts, the son of Arcano can get off the mark having joining Michael Halford last month. He put up his best effort on his most recent start when runner-up in a Group 3 event at the Curragh in August and can land tonight's mile maiden under Pat Smullen.
