Newcastle

This is an interesting rematch between ANALOGICAL and Clansman who finished second and third in a tight finish at Southwell 13 days ago. This could be finely balanced again on this drop back in trip, but preference is for Sir Mark Prescott's 4yo, who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and is open to more progress. Another to consider is Moon Sniper who scored off a similar mark over C&D in the autumn and needs a close look on his stable debut.[David Moon]
