Newcastle Race 4 - Northumbria Leisure For Pool Tables Selling Stakes
FIRST AMBITION (3) will find this vastly easier than the Cambridgeshire Handicap he was last seen contesting three weeks ago. Third beaten 2.25L at Wolverhampton prior to that (1700m). The one to beat on these terms. KALEIDO (4) has been finding it difficult to win. Denied by 4.5L in third dropped to selling company at Musselburgh (1800m) latest. Can threaten here. KING CASPER (5) has failed to get competitive in a trio of warm handicaps this term. Another who should find this test less demanding. CANDONOMORE (2) didn't kick on after a promising start for this yard earlier in the season. Next best but needs to lift to compete.

At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Musselburgh on September 30 over 1800m, 10 len behind Walsingham with 65kg at $15. Before that 6th of 9 at Chester on September 12 over 1500m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Crazee Icon carrying 62.5kg at $29. Getting beaten too easily and not likely to threaten.
