Blue To Blue is our selection, and he heads this 14-runner Newcastle contest on our figures at 83, a useful four pounds clear of Project Geofin on 79. That is a meaningful edge in a competitive Class 5 over a mile on the all-weather, and it gives him the strongest case on merit. Project Geofin is the most obvious danger, with D Flawless a pound further back and Orangesandlemons also in the mix on 76. With so many closely matched runners below him, a clean run in a big field is the main requirement, but Blue To Blue looks the one to beat.
