14:15 (Newton Abbot) Frankie Faulkner

Frankie Faulkner didn't quite appear to get home when third here over an extended 2m5f and the drop in trip gives Evan Williams' gelding the ideal opportunity to get off the mark, especially in a contest lacking depth on paper.

Film D'action benefited from wind surgery when finishing third at Ffos Las and is entitled to improve for stepping up in distance, while Fortunate Fred, who was runner-up in this contest 12 months ago, completes the shortlist.

15:25 (Newton Abbot) San Giovanni

San Giovanni was progressive last summer, winning two on the spin before disappointing in a valuable contest at Worcester in September.

The seven-year-old returns following wind surgery and is taken to bounce back to winning ways.
Pyramid Place went up 3lb for his Cartmel victory in May and commands respect, while others to note include Vision Des Flos and Thirtyfourstitches.

16:00 (Newton Abbot) The Grey Falco

Phoenix Risen was beaten less than a length in a similar contest last month off this mark and the six-year-old could go well again off bottom weight, but he may have to give way to The Grey Falco, who caught the eye at Southwell when winning very easily at the end of June.

He does have an added 9lb from the handicapper but appears to be at the top of his game, while Nevendon and Clearance are others to consider in an intriguing contest.

17:10 (Newton Abbot) Shakiyra

Point-to-point winner Fountainspinklady has the form in the book after her second to Daytona Beach in a Worcester bumper, but she stayed on well to snatch a place that day and may do better over further in time.

A chance is taken on newcomer Shakiyra, a daughter of Passing Glance and related to numerous winners including Call Me Tara, who scored by 40 lengths last time out.

She could yet be above average for Fergal O'Brien, leaving Dontmesswithme to follow them home.

NEWTON ABBOT: 2.15 Frankie Faulkner, 2.50 First Angel, 3.25 San Giovanni, 4.00 The Grey Falco, 4.35 Honey I'm Good, 5.10 Shakiyra
