Paul Ferguson has one selection from Newcastle on Thursday, Nashvillea in the 1600. Compare odds and bet.
Newcastle stages a decent 2m handicap on Thursday, in which recent Ripon first and second Rayadour and Rumble Of Thunder re-oppose.
The latter, a smart hurdler on his day, could well reverse form in a more strongly run race on quicker ground but, at the prices, a chance is taken on Nashville (4:00) who has returned to somewhere near his best on his last two outings.
A dual winner on good ground last August, the wheels rather came off afterwards, but he finished runner-up at Newcastle in May and third in a fairly strong event at Musselburgh just 12 days ago. Off the same mark and with Richard Fahey in such good form, he is taken to return to winning ways – the selection was available at 9-2 overnight.
Thursday’s selection:
