7:30 Newcastle Going Standard / Distance - 0m 4f

Pool Value: £202.74

Castan comes here on the crest of a wave and he's not taken on lightly in his current form, but the enigmatic-but-talented pair Zarzyni and ALLIGATOR ALLEY may hold a slight class edge over him. The former goes well fresh and should be arriving on the scene late but Alligator Alley is preferred on his first run for Ruth Carr. He holds the track record over C&D - a terrific performance in a Racing League handicap in 2023 - and any concerns over his readiness for this first start since October are offset by the booking of Billy Loughnane, whose record for the yard catches the eye.[Paul Smith]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin
1 (1)	Alligator Alley Billy Loughnane / Mrs R Carr	8yrs / 9st 10lb 62476- Spotlight	97	11/1
Alligator Alley Has some high-class sprint form down the years, including over C&D; has left David O'Meara since last seen; has an absence to overcome but the booking of Billy Loughnane (four wins and four seconds from 15 rides for the yard) is a strong hint he's ready to go.
2 (7)	Zarzyni Callum Rodriguez / T D Barron	8yrs / 9st 10lb 57818- Spotlight	92	10/1
Zarzyni Talented sprinter but hard to win with and meeting some trouble in running probably wasn't a bad thing when winning at Musselburgh last September; well beaten at Wolverhampton one month later; can go well fresh and he holds each-way claims.
3 (6)	Monks Dream Sean Kirrane / T D Easterby	4yrs / 9st 8lb 50-722 Spotlight	89	2/1
Monks Dream Back on song returned to AW this winter, second in handicaps over 6f and 5f here on his last two starts; 1lb ahead of the handicapper and he should remain competitive.
4 (3)	Castan P Mulrennan / B Smart	5yrs / 9st 7lb 4-6111 Spotlight	91	3/1	1.02
Castan 3-3 since cheekpieces were added and he was more dominant here two weeks ago than the winning margin might indicate; 2lb rise manageable and he's high on the list.
5 (4)	Dark Kestrel Cam Hardie / A Brittain	5yrs / 9st 5lb 435454 Spotlight	92	15/2
Dark Kestrel Hold-up sprinter; on a competitive mark and conditions aren't a problem but he will need the leaders coming back to him to win.
6 (2)	Our Absent Friends Jason Hart / T Davidson	7yrs / 9st 3lb 3-6437 Spotlight	91	10/1
Our Absent Friends Only seventh behind Castan over C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival but others have more pressing claims.
7 (5)	King's Crown Rhys Elliott / M Dods	5yrs / 8st 10lb 418321 Spotlight	90	9/2	163.70
King's Crown Two wins this year, the latest over C&D 12 days ago; that was a small-field Class 6, however, and he has more on his plate up 5lb against stronger opposition.
8 (8)	Herakles Mark Winn / P T Midgley	5yrs / 8st 10lb 96527- Spotlight	92	33/1	81.80
Herakles Chased home Dark Kestrel over C&D last October but disappointing back here two weeks later; others preferred for win purposes.
