Pundit pick: Inspiring Speeches

Inspiring Speeches is our selection here, rated level with Arranmore at the head of this Class 6 Newcastle contest, but preferred on the strength of a progressive profile and what looks a meaningful fitness edge over the top-rated rival. Tiberio Force, just a pound behind, and Balqaa are the other dangers worth respecting in a competitive-looking heat. That said, the margins are tight throughout the field and this is genuinely open. **Inspiring Speeches** to take it.
