Redcar Race 3 - Celebrate The Life Of Joe Newton Handicap
GAELIC APPROACH (1) sets the standard after a narrow 2nd at Hamilton over 2226m, beaten 0.5L, and a prior Leicester win over 2377m; up in trip but holds consistent 3yo staying form. WICKSEY (2) is a key chance despite a 9th at York over 2384m, having posted a Newcastle/Southwell hat-trick earlier in the season at 2050–2503m. FAIRYDALE (3) needs to lift after finishing 6th of 6 at Redcar over 2012m by 19.55L.
