LADYKING (4) is yet to break through after five starts. Placed in a then last time out was fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m1 1/4f at Newcastle. Blinkers added this time. Looks a great chance to break through. BERTIE (6) gets out over more ground. On the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 6¾f at newcastle. Unplaced at his only previous try at the trip. Andrew Gibbons stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Best form puts him right in this. FIFTH FORCE (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 6¾f at Newcastle. Nicely placed to play a major role. I AM BREATHING (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a head away in second over 7½f at Newcastle. Nicely placed to play a big role.
