Gold Opera (5/2), Chidswell (5/2), Some Reign (5/1), Newberry New (5/1), Plus Jamais (8/1), Morning Royalty (18/1), Charlie Snow Angel (22/1), Rock On Fruity (40/1)
No standout contender in an open race with the capable Some Reign slowly becoming somewhat of an enigma. Chidswell isn't the most fluent of fencers, but ran well in this race in 2017 whilst Newberry New should strip fitter for competing at Uttoxeter. However, the pair who remain the most interesting are the course specialists Plus Jamais and GOLD OPERA. The selection is two years the junior of the Iain Jardine-trained runner and that's enough to sway the vote. Keith Dalgleish takes charge of Gold Opera for the first time and despite an 8lb rise for an 8L C&D win on desperate ground in April, he's taken to record a fourth Newcastle win.
