6.15 Newcastle, Wednesday, January 31

After six years in training and 121 races, it’s fair to say the Windforpower is fully exposed, but Tracey Waggott’s 8-year-old has been in fine form since switched back to Tapeta in September and may be capable of completing a hat-trick in the Betway Casino Handicap (6.15) at Newcastle on Wednesday. His latest 5lb rise in the weights, for beating stable companion Little Kingdom over course and distance 12 days ago, necessitates stepping back up into 0-70 company, but he’s won off much higher marks in the past, so should remain competitive. It’s also fair to say that his trainer has some fairly dismal statistics at Newcastle, but that shouldn’t necessarily be held against Windforpower, who has held his form well in recent starts. He’s well drawn, in stall 9 of 10, and should give it another good go.

Selection: Newcastle 6.15 Windforpower to win 5/2
