17:35 (Newcastle) Wheres The Crumpet
Wheres The Crumpet aims for back to back victories after a course and distance success in late March. Enjoys these conditions.
Hot Team, who was beaten by Wheres The Crumpet in March, has placed twice from last four outings including a third at Catterick. Not disgraced when fifth tackling track and trip last time.
Scarriff was a good second two starts back and may get among the places, along with Crazy Crackers who resumed after a three month lay-off with a fifth at Southwell.
19:20 (Newcastle) Test Of Love
Test Of Love returned after a nine month absence with a promising second over six furlongs at Pontefract and progression is expected in the Alfie's Bar Handicap.
Cuban Storm showed considerable improvement on seasonal reappearance when runner-up in these conditions and also has a solid chance.
Socialise finished ahead of Cuban Storm scoring over course and distance in April and appears to be on an attractive mark.
Wren Officer holds each-way claims in search of a double. Won tackling these conditions last time.
19:55 (Newcastle) Dawn Of Liberation
Dawn Of Liberation placed twice from three outings this campaign including a good second at Wolverhampton tackling 1m1/2f, so will be firmly in contention.
Outrun The Storm appears to be on a competitive mark following a nose success in these conditions. Entitled to improve for reappearance effort and could go close.
Zapphire was a good winner last campaign at Haydock, and also landed a place here in September. Makes seasonal reappearance and holds each-way claims.
Ron O carries top weight. Drops back in trip and class which could spark progression after a disappointing fifth of sixth in last outing to Newcastle in March.

Higher Law looks ready to break through for a victory on current mark. Good second at Wolverhampton tackling six furlongs and continues racing over the same distance.
Dandys Gold aims for back to back wins following a course and distance success. Enjoys these conditions. Apprentice claims extra weight relief.
