Verdict
Rural Celebration landed a double at Newcastle last month and prevented Showdaisy from recording a hat-trick on the first of those wins. I'll Be Good handles the surface though has looked high enough in the weights since winning at Chester in September but there are several course and distance winners with a shout. That includes ORIENTAL RELATION, who drops back down a grade for this and has won off a higher mark before. He has the beating of Razin' Hell but New Road Side and September Issue look bigger threats.
