Verdict
Whittle Le Woods returned a beaten favourite over 7f at Newcastle and drops back down in distance for this while Airshow has been competing over the minimum trip but won over course and distance at the start of the year. RECALL THE SHOW also won here last week on his debut for a new yard and first outing since October. He may well defy a 2lb rise in an open affair while Endowed could improve for today’s headgear and Twilight Madness returns to action 7lb higher than when last successful.
