Activate has been installed as the 7/1 favourite by totesport for Saturday’s John Smith’s Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.
Michael Bell’s gelding made a successful reappearance at Haydock last time out and had also finished last season in good heart, winning at both Yarmouth and Haydock under Hayley Turner.
“Activate was a progressive sort last season and he looks certain to be popular in the market for the Northumberland Plate given that he’s unbeaten in both runs over 1m6f,” said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
Last year’s winner Overturn is next in the market at 8/1 with impressive Goodwood winner Harlestone Times a 9/1 shot alongside last year’s Melrose Handicap winner Mount Athos.
