Anitopia might struggle to confirm Kelso running with Mia Matriarch under his penalty but there are possibilities about winning pointers Atlanta Falcon and Blazin White Face, while Ahhdekhen ran a little better than the final result suggests when fifth at Hexham. But we like the look of newcomers GREY DREAM and Shady Sadie with preference for the former who hails from the same family as Sure Josie Sure, who runs in the previous race, and smart stayer Geordieland.
