Verdict

GREENGAGE has now won two of her last three outings at Newcastle and was narrowly beaten here before that. She’s worth sticking with in her current form as Dream Magic only won a claimer over track and trip recently, though this isn’t much tougher. Monsaraz scored over 1m2f last week but won over today’s longer trip on the Turf last summer while By Jove was successful on his last visit to this venue. Flight Command finished in front of Liva when runner-up over track and trip and can go well again.
