Sassy Glory (IRE) won the 18:07 Newcastle (AW) at SP 6.50. Ridden by Rhys Elliott. Trained by Mark Walford.
No — the AI top pick (Cable Beach) finished 4.
Top finishers: 1. Sassy Glory (IRE) (6.50), 2. Little Ted (GB) (6.00), 3. I Can Boogy (GB) (11.00).
The winning time was 1m 40.59s, 3.79s slower than standard.
Woodleigh has won two in a row and a penalty is the only question mark, though connections claim all of it back with the claiming jockey; effective at 8-10f on any surface, the hat-trick here is well within reach. Barleybrown has a strong course record having been beaten only half a length here over this trip last time, and is the obvious danger. Sassy Glory finished neck behind the leader at Beverley on a return to form and must also be considered. Woodleigh is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Woodleigh
