STAR CAST (7) secured his third victory this year in latest all of which have come at Newcastle over this distance. Proved himself on this surface previously when third of twenty two at Doncaster (1m). Leading contender. NO KNEE NEVER (6) handled a busy period registering a pair of wins on all-weather. Of slight concern was a lesser effort on turf which came in between. Up in trip and could remain well treated. DAWN OF LIBERATION (5) slipped back to his last successful mark. Possibilities. The eleven year old Tim Easterby duo GARDEN OASIS (2) and POET'S DAWN (10) wouldn't be winning out of turn however fair to say both are better known for their exploits attempting 1m.
