Asdaa was well supported at Newcastle after a comfortable victory at Chelmsford but never really looked like winning. Glenn Coco was in tremendous form last winter and has won around here while Unforgiving Minute is on a hat-trick after landing claimers at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton. GINGER FOX has been kept busy and won here in November and though that was over 6f he's even better over today's trip. He can get back on track as though That Is The Spirit is running well he appears to be a few pounds high.
