BIG DADDY KANE (NAP) made a winning start in handicaps when scoring with plenty in hand at Newcastle. He has enough scope to defy a 6lb rise and can go in again.

Home Before Dusk had also recorded a double over a mile at Newcastle before finding the selection too good while Fancy Footings has been in good form at Southwell since joining Tom Dascombe’s yard.
