Turaath was beaten off today’s mark in handicaps before landing a novices' race at Newcastle and I’M AVAILABLE makes more appeal. The latter made the most of a slide down the weights when scoring at Kempton and can defy a 5lb rise having won off a higher mark last year. In The Red quickly reverted to his more usual poor form last time having won at Kempton before that while Molly Mai finished last of nine at Yarmouth having scored at Haydock earlier. Zafaranah is back on a winning mark and showed signs of a resurgence last time.
