        Verdict

        Comeonfeeltheforce has failed to improve on her earlier debut third at Newbury but still finished in front of Elysian Lady at Wolverhampton last time. Picture Poet has placed over 6f but will need to step up on an earlier attempt over today’s trip at Newcastle and RED ARMOUR is preferred. The latter found only Indian Viceroy, rated 85, too good at Newmarket last month and can go one better in this on the strength of that form. Limelighter is preferred to Miss Gargar of the newcomers.
