Newcastle Bags Race 4 - Newcastle Greyhounds Spring Handicap Competition

CAHERMONE BEST (6) has been racing well of late. Won two starts back when jumped from scratch in a handicap at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 480m (28.92). Returns to handicapping here and breaks from the back. Genuine handicapper who has two wins and four placings from seven runs from the staggered start. Can continue the fine run of form as he switches back to handicapping. COOLAVANNY DREW (5) is a consistent performer who placed last time over 480m at this track in an A2, beaten 3.5 lengths (29.22). Transitioning to a handicap for the first time and will be starting off 3m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. ALNWICK MEGAN (4) has been mixing her form in handicaps. Nice effort to finish second two runs back when started off 5m at this track then only managed fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start when off 5m at this track over 480m (29.55). Today jumps with a 7m advantage. Should be thereabouts. CROOKS FEARGHAL (2) is a newcomer to the handicap scene and will enjoy the 11m start. Brings sound form to this contest, with a last start second (29.64) in an A7 over 480m at this track. Not to be underestimated.

Consistent type who placed last time over 480m at this track in an A2, beaten 3.5 lengths (29.22). Moving to a handicap for the first time and has a 3m start on the scratch dog. Should be in this for a long way.
