Forecasts

War Department (7/2), Dutch Art Dealer (4/1), Free Code (4/1), Safe Voyage (5/1), Merdon Castle (8/1), Bouclier (10/1), Equally Fast (16/1), Shamaheart (25/1), Newstead Abbey (25/1)

Verdict

Plenty of interwoven course and distance form on offer, with FREE CODE dispatching War Department, Merdon Castle, Shamaheart and the below par Safe Voyage when scoring by a neck early last month. He's again taken to get the better of those rivals despite a 5lb rise having competed in a much stronger Class 2 handicap last time (sixth to Suzi's Connoisseur). Both Dutch Art Dealer and Safe Voyage are respected on their Newcastle efforts in 2017 and it would be no surprise to see a stronger showing from either horse today. 1. Free Code 2. Dutch Art Dealer 3. Merdon Castle
