7.30 Newcastle – Danielsflyer takes on Star Shield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In-form Danielsflyer<\/strong> contests a competitive-looking Stay Golden With BetMGM Safer Gambling Handicap (7.30)<\/em><\/a> at Newcastle.<\/p>\n

David Thompson’s 10-year-old arrives seeking a hat-trick, having won twice at the track in the last two months, and should go close as he steps up in class off a 4lb higher mark.<\/p>\n

David O’Meara’s Star Shield<\/strong> is just 1lb higher than when scoring over this course and distance in December and heads the dangers as he seeks a fourth all-weather success under Ben Robinson.<\/p>\n

Of the others, Lahab<\/strong> made an encouraging start for the Grant Tuer team when third over six furlongs here in January and remains unexposed as he steps up to a mile. Gainsbourg<\/strong> is also one to look at, having registered previous success over a mile last season.<\/p>\n

6.30 Newcastle – 400,000gns prospect makes debut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

George Boughey’s Star Jasmine<\/strong> debuts in the seven-furlong BetMGM: It’s Showtime Maiden Fillies’ Stakes 6.30<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

A 400,000 guineas purchase as a yearling, the daughter of Churchill is certainly bred for the job and rates a fascinating contender under Billy Loughnane.<\/p>\n

Jack Jones saddles Heavenly Fire<\/strong> who was not disgraced when fourth behind Queen Of Zafeen at Lingfield on her debut last month and should benefit from that experience here.<\/p>\n

Archie Watson’s Absolute Star<\/strong> made an encouraging racecourse debut when runner-up over this course and distance 52 days ago and is another to note if able to build on that under Paul Mulrennan.<\/p>\n

4.30 Chantilly – Doyle aims for French success on Action Point<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Archie Watson duo Action Point<\/strong> and Havana Ball<\/strong> headline a competitive field for the Listed Prix Montenica<\/em> at Chantilly.<\/p>\n

A winner in this grade at Newbury in July, Action Point, a son of Blue Point, ran with credit when competitive in a pair of Group races before ending his season with a third-placed finish in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar, and he could prove hard to beat as he returns under Hollie Doyle.<\/p>\n

Stablemate Havana Ball got off the mark at the second attempt when landing a six-furlong novice stakes at Wolverhampton in November and, with further improvement expected, should be on the premises under Luke Morris.<\/p>\n

Of the opposition, Listed winner Megarry<\/strong> makes his debut for Gianluca Bietolini having joined from Gavin Cromwell, while Parisian Leah<\/strong> will hope to step up on his recent course and distance success for Christophe Ferland and Enzo Corallo.<\/p>\n
