Newcastle Race 1 - High Gosforth Park Golf Club Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
DRUSILLA (4) arrives from Ireland on the back of a 1.75L win at Punchestown. Interesting holding the advantage in a small field. Major player. SURREY BELLE (1) secured an impressive 3.25L maiden victory at Uttoxeter two weeks ago. Ideally placed to double up. PEPITE DE SAPHIR (2) & VIENNA PEARL (3) are both maidens running for the fourth time. The former mentioned has contested this distance multiple times while the latter makes her first rise in journey.
