Newcastle Race 5 - Smirnoff At Spy Bar Handicap Hurdle

HAARAR (3) bid for a hat-trick last month only to be well beaten at Catterick finishing 30L fourth. Better was expected on that occasion. Can resume his upward progress by taking this. Former course and distance winner FINGAL'S HILL (1) needs to bounce back from a poor performance at Kelso a fortnight ago. More will be needed. THE HATCHET (5) turned things around when runner-up by only 0.5L here three weeks ago. Warrants thought as won't be too far away if in the same condition. BUCEPHALUS (2) is more than capable on his day though a market check is required as to prospects. Worth considering. Something for the Multiples: INEDIT D'AMOUR (6)

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at Doncaster on January 23 over 3900m, on slow going 2 len behind Guard Duty with 73.5kg at $11. Second-up finished fifth of 8 starters at Kelso on February 28 over 4200m, 37 len behind Both Barrels carrying 76kg at $15. Better than last run but needds to bounce back.

Resumes off a 35 day letup. Last outing pulled up at Newbury on February 7 over 3300m. Run before finished second of 8 runners at Haydock Park on December 30 over 3100m, 1.5 len behind Serious Challenge with 71kg at $13. Not going well enough. What happened last time is not ideal so prepared to risk.

Last run finished fifth of 8 runners at Catterick on February 24 over 3900m, 16 len behind Geromino with 71kg at $19. Start before won by 16 len Catterick on January 1 over 3100m defeating Not For Passin with 72.5kg at $19 in a hurdle. Win would surprise. Would need to improve sharply and others rate better.
