Outrage in store at Newcastle

RACING: Kubler’s seven-year-old can cause a stir tonight

- THE FERRET

OUTRAGE can cause a stir to the opposition by sprinting to victory in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap, the richest race on the card at Newcastle.

Daniel Kubler’s seven-year-old would be breaking new ground, as he has yet to win over six furlongs – but he is a fourtime winner over the minimum trip.

His turn can come this time, as he has gone close on several occasions before and was putting in his best work at the Gosforth Park venue when only beaten a length by Encore D’Or in a better class of race on his latest start.

AVENUE OF STARS can light up proceeding­s by repeating a recent victory over this six furlongs in the Betway Live Casino Handicap.

The six-year-old won in convincing fashion four weeks ago and looked to have a bit in hand. It was not surprising the handicappe­r raised Karen McLintock’s gelding by 5lb, but he is still able to run at this level.

James Given’s SISTER OF THE SIGN is another who can make a triumphant return to the North East in the Ladbrokes Handicap.

LARCH HILL got his head in front for the first time at Warwick four weeks ago and can follow up for trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies – who also owns him – in the Introducin­g Racing TV Handicap Hurdle at Carlisle.

SOCKSY was nabbed close home when going down by a head to Pretty Miss Mahler at Wetherby over Christmas and can go one better in the tipstars.tips Surrey National Handicap Chase at Lingfield.
