Newcastle Race 3 - Sunday Lunch At The Border Minstrel Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
YORDAN (1) Scored a victory by 2 3/4L last time at Southwell and taking on easier opposition. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Worth an investment. BRASH (4) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Doncaster and competing at a lower grade. Has plenty of early speed. Serious player. ENNOBLE (5) Fresh today. Ran 5th last run at Bellewstown. Capable of a strong comeback and taking on a lower class of opponents. Change in trainer and drawn nicely. Each way hopes. NAVERTITY (11) Mediocre display when 7th last run around here but competing at a lower level of competition. Place wouldn't shock.

Started at $41.00 and came in 5th last start at Southwell but up against weaker rivals. Will be giving the leaders a big start. This one has a big task.

Resumes from a break. At $51.00 finished 4th last run at Ayr but going down in grade. Coming to a new trainer. Facing a difficult task.

Did well when 2nd last start at Doncaster and will appreciate the drop in class. Likely to be well placed early. Will be fighting out the finish.

First run back after spell. Was $5.00 and came in 5th last run at Bellewstown. Capable of a strong comeback and stepping down to a lower level. Capable type.

Started at $34.00 and sub-standard effort when 4th last start at Redcar but fitter for debut run. Matched against less formidable competition. Drawn well. Hard to take.

At $251.00 average at best when 8th last time at this venue but challenged by less formidable competitors. Gets back and needs luck. Unlikely to go close.

First up after a break. Jumped at $12.00 and appeared lacklustre when 4th last time at Ripon and coming back in distance. Expecting to settle positively. Entitled to be a big price.

Jumped at $81.00 and lacklustre showing when 5th last time at Catterick but was on debut last time. Matched against lesser competition. Seems very unlikely.
