Sebastian Butterworth with the latest market movers from the Sky Bet trading room, including heavy support for one at Newcastle.
What's Hot: 14:10 Newcastle Kenny Powers (7/1 into 9/2) & Piece By Piece (9/1 into 11/2) Two movers in the opener at Newcastle with both Tom Dascombe's Kenny Powers and Tim Easterby's Piece By Piece being backed against the field. Form lines are thin on the ground in this Novice event, so the early money could prove to be significant. 14:45 Newcastle Electric Qatar (4/5 from 6/4) Another Tom Dascombe two-year-old has seen plenty of interest in Newcastle's 6f maiden. With the likes of Richard Fahey, John Quinn and Mahmood Al Zarooni providing the opposition, it would be no surprise if Dascombe's well-backed jolly turned out to be quite decent with the betting suggesting this could be a one horse race. 15:20 Newcastle Prince Of Dance (5/1 from 8/1) Tom Tate's five-year-old ran in the Lockinge as a three-year-old, but has been regressive since. Showing a glimmer last time, punters have got stuck into the well-bred gelding in the hope that this keen-going sort can bounce back and claim his first win for three years. 17:05 Newcaslte Ted's Brother (3/1 from 14/1) The biggest mover of the day comes in Newcastle's penultimate race - a low grade class 5 handicap. Paul Hanagan has been booked for the ride instead of riding for Richard Fahey's Philarmonic Hall, and if volume of money was a true indicator of performance, then this horse would already be in the winner's enclosure. We're now running for cover having laid prices as big as 14/1, and it would be a surprise if a good performance wasn't in the offing for this lightly raced brother to the stable's Ginger Ted.
