Vitesse Du Son won here back in November though an outside draw doesn’t help his cause. Choosey’s earlier success came over 6f at the track while Hunters Step won over a longer trip at Chelmsford before racing wide last time and only managing third. But MUDAWWAN can be forgiven a below par effort on the Fibresand at Southwell and given he has every chance on last month’s win over today’s trip at Newcastle, may be the one side with. Sepahi looks more favourably treated than Steal The Scene as both return to 7f.
