Newcastle Race 4 - Border Minstrel New Menu Handicap Hurdle

FINGAL'S HILL (1) has been highly tried in his career but continues to hold form well this season. Made the frame once again at this venue two weeks ago and now raised in trip cannot be dismissed whilst in the good condition. RARE EDITION (2) appears to have lost his way this season with fences. Unable to bounce back in a hurdle race two months ago and needs to improve. Rates highly on former efforts. LAWRENNY (3) pulled up after stopping quickly at Bangor-on-Dee in November. With time to recover deserves another go. SMOKERINGINTHEDARK (5) scored on hurdle debut but struggled since. Given a light campaign and a revival wouldn't surprise.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last preparation pulled up at Bangor-On-Dee on November 12 over 3900m. When resuming last campaign came from midfield; finished fifth of 9 runners at Leicester on December 5 2024 over 4110m, on rain affected going; 21 len behind Sixmilebridge carrying 71.5kg at $15. Looks one of the better chances.

Comes off a 54 day let-up. Last start ran last in a small field at Doncaster on February 5 over 3900m, slow track; 34 len behind Huffin An A Puffin with 71kg at $5.50. The start before that; finished second of 9 runners at Musselburgh on January 1 over 4000m, 3.5 len behind Fasol carrying 72.5kg at $6.50. Racing well enough. Will be thereabouts.
