Newcastle

The form of INTRUSIVELY's 7f win here earlier in the week looks solid given he got the better of an AW specialist and there was over 3l back to the third. He gets the nod under a 5lb penalty in the hope that he's fully over those exertions. Thunder Wonder's latest Redcar outing needs forgiving but he had shaped quite well on his two starts prior to that and is next on the list ahead of three-time C&D scorer Rogue Encore, who is nicely handicapped again and the Peter Chapple-Hyam stable has had recent winners. Harry Charlton's Media Legend isn't obviously well treated under a penalty for Yarmouth but he has improved for cheekpieces and it would be no surprise were he to pull out more again. [Andrew Sheret]
