  1st Brave Eagle 8/1 - 65 2nd Takingrisks 16/1 - 55 3rd Cool Mix 11/1 - 45 4th Yorkhill 33/1 - 40 Brave Eagle tops the system here, and there are a few positives here including the ground which his stats look like this 1, UR, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 5. the 5th was last time out and im guessing he probably would have needed the run there. He is 1lb above his last win which was a Listed race last June on good ground. He has never run here at Newcastle, but 7 of his 9 wins have come left handed and 3 of 5 on a similar track layout. His last race depsite needing the run and coming 5th, there has been a winner and a place already from it, and Secret Investor who won the race, lines up in the 3:00 at Newbury, maybe Brave Eagle can frank the form. Also he wears blinkers for the first time. May ust get him back on track. Takingrisks won this last year off a mark of 143, he is now 4lb higher. Think you can ignore his last run as he has tended to need a run back after a break (also over hurdles
