Seriously progressive with cheekpieces in 2m handicaps this year; could have more to give

3.00 Newcastle
BetUK All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes, 1m2f

This could be dominated by John and Thady Gosden, who have the two market leaders Forest Of Dean and Harrovian. Irish raider Freescape has not been disgraced in classier company in Dubai, while Base Note could be the best of the outsiders.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: NOTRE BELLE BETE

Something to find but in good form and this step back up in trip could prompt improvement

Ran a stormer in Listed race over C&D in February; excuses since; more appealing than many

Lightly raced 4yo; ran even better than it looked last time; one to be interested in

4.10 Newcastle
talkSPORT All-Weather Fillies' And Mares' Championships Conditions Stakes, 7f

Manaafith is unbeaten in six starts on the all-weather, including in the Tandridge Stakes at Lingfield last time, but faces a formidable opponent in dual Listed winner Queen Aminatu. Hodd’s Girl was not beaten far at Wolverhampton last time and is a prolific all-weather winner.

Won Listed events in final two runs last year and she sets the standard on her return

BetUK All-Weather Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes, 6f

Veteran now but still a classy operator; excellent claims provided they don't crawl
