Another Angel set to continue Newcastle love match

-

– Another Angel can extend his love affair with Newcastle today by taking the Betway Casino Handicap at the Gosforth Park track.

Anthony Brittain's charge is a five-time winner over this 1000m course, and rarely turns in a bad performanc­e at the venue, so can be relied on to put his best foot forward.

This five-year-old beat the reopposing Pea Shooter when getting his head in front at the start of last month, and he has lost little in defeat in two subsequent efforts.

Beaten a length into third at Wolverhamp­ton, then just 0.75

lengths in the same place at this track, Another Angel lines up off an unchanged mark of 76 here and should be in the shake-up again.

Seeusoon seemed to improve for a step up to 2400m on his most recent outing in January, and should not be deserted in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Maiden Stakes.

Counting a Geoffrey Freer winner among his half-siblings, Seeusoon looks bred to excel over just this kind of trip - and while he was caught napping when fourth last time, he should be sharper for the experience here.

Kodi Dream should appreciate switching back to Tapeta in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Handicap after failing to make any real impression on Southwell's Fibresand on his latest outing.

He was a neck winner at this track at the beginning of February before turning out again in Nottingham­shire just two days later, where he found little for pressure.

He was not beaten far, though, and can bounce back for Roger Fell.

Lingfield is a bit light on numbers, but Air Force Amy can seize the opportunit­y to gain a first career success in the Ladbrokes Fillies' Novice Median Auction Stakes.

Mick Channon's runner was placed on each of her three juvenile starts – coming closest when third on her debut at Ascot in a race that has worked out quite well, with the first two home featuring in Group race company.

Air Force Amy takes a big hike in distance here, but certainly has a good slice of stamina in her pedigree.

Popular veteran Le Reve recently returned to winning form, and can build on that in the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown. This 11-year-old had gone three years without a win until landing the Surrey National at Lingfield last month,- Press Associatio­n To take a bet Go to www.tabonline.co.za or www.bettingwor­ld.co.za
