      Verdict

      Brazen Bolt usually run his race though all three of last year’s wins came over 7f at Newcastle. AS IF BY CHANCE makes more appeal given an apprentice’s allowance negates a penalty incurred for last week’s victory at Nottingham and Nigel Tinkler’s charge can go in again. The remainder have not been at their best lately with Main Target fitted with a tongue-tie for his Turf debut while both of Expert Opinion’s wins so far came over the minimum trip.
