The top pair arrive with penalties after victories last week. Jai Hanuman gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up at Lingfield then comfortably won a handicap in this lowly grade at Newcastle. PURPLE PADDY was having only his sixth start when scoring over this track and trip where he was always travelling nicely. He finished full of running and looks to have something in hand of the assessor so can complete a quick double. Jeremy’s Jet was behind and looks held while Ahfad also ran here last week where he finished a good second in a slightly better race than this, though he’s still a maiden after 13 starts.
