WARRIOR RIPE FOR TREBLE

THE GLAS GO WARRIOR CAN MAKE IT A HAT-TRICK OF NEWCASTLE SUCCESSES IN TOMORROW’S BETWAY HANDICAP

-

The glas go warrior looks set to claim a third Newcastle success in the Betway Handicap tomorrow.

Jim Goldie’s charge won here in December and January and ran a perfectly sound race when third on his latest visit to Gosforth Park last month.

He occupied the same finishing position at Wolverhamp­ton last time out and with Phil Dennis taking a handy 3lb off his back, this looks a good opportunit­y for him to get back on the winning trail.

Amuletum is of definite interest in the 32Red.com Fillies’ Handicap.

The New Approach filly shaped with promise on each of her two starts at Dundalk for Mick Halford and Godolphin and changed hands for 75.000 guineas at Tattersall­s in December.

There was plenty to like about her first start for Peter Chapple-Hyam over the course and distance just under three weeks ago as she finished third and she makes her handicap debut off what appears a very workable mark of 65.

Volatile can continue his tremendous run of form in the sunbets.co.uk Handicap at Southwell.

The four-year-old’s career looked to going backwards last summer, but he appears to have been completely reinvigora­ted since moving to Jamie Osborne’s yard for 32,000 guineas last October.

Since making a pleasing debut for his new connection­s at Lingfield early in the new year, Volatile has racked up a hattrick of victories, including two on the Fibresand at Southwell.

Despite not having his own way out in front like he had on his previous two outings, Osborne’s charge showed a willing attitude to prevail once more on his latest start a fortnight ago and, in current mood, a 5lb hike might not be enough to stop him going in again.
