In depth
Verdict
Iggy battled to victory over the minimum trip at Pontefract and may have found the ground too soft at Newcastle next time. He should make a bold bid with his young rider able to claim 7lb. Opt Out looked as though he was running back into form at Ayr but A J Cook, though consistent, has won once in 24 starts. CHAMPAGNE CHARLEY may be worth another chance in a poor contest. His best runs have been on quick ground and Jamie Spencer is an eye-catching booking. It's a sign of the times for old Red Cape, who is having his 155th start and looking for his 19th victory off the lowest mark in his long career.
