Richard Fahey has an impressive record in this but Tatlisu could only manage second last year and races off a higher mark today. ORION’S BOW is upped a further 6lb but defied a hike in the weights and a rise in class to land a four-timer at Newcastle last time and the Nicholls sprinter is worth sticking with until beaten. He’s preferred to stablemate and last month’s Epsom winner Blaine while Amazour is another recent Newcastle winner that could go well and makes more appeal than Lulu The Zulu, who won a four-runner conditions event at Newmarket last time. Hoof It narrowly beat New Bidder at Haydock with Intense Style and Cornwallville further behind and the latter had earlier been beaten by Intisaab at Ayr while Mickey easily won a maiden at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and goes handicapping for the first time today.
