Follow a horse in form and stick with BENITO CAVALO (6.45, NAP) who returns to Newcastle seeking a 2024 four-timer.
A very late bloomer, the five-year-old has found his ideal surface in the track’s Tapeta course, after 22 winless efforts on turf.
He has gone unbeaten in all-weather races, posting two victories over 6f and one at 7f for trainer Jim Goldie.
It has helped that he has started his sequence from a low handicap rating of 45. He has gone up to 62 as a result but even under a 10lb penalty he is still officially 1lb ‘well in’ today.
Half an hour earlier BOBBY JOE LEG (6.15) can complete his own four-timer. The ten-year-old completed a hat-trick over course and distance eight days ago and Joanna Mason takes a turn on Ruth Carr’s grand servant.

Jamie Snowden sends an interesting recruit from the Flat to Catterick in GOLDEN MAVERICK (2.05) and may have found him a winning opportunity.
The four-year-old won five times for Ian Williams and signed off last year with his best performance, finishing second in a Class 2 handicap.
He changed hands for 100,000gns and for that price ought to up to winning in this ordinary grade.
