Barry Nicholls - Newcastle 1.25 9 Mappin Time - each way 18/1 (BV/Sky) 16/1 (generally)

With more potential on show today than hard form we will "dip in to the AW"

the pitfalls are obvious at both venues but in the 1.25 Barry is very keen on

MAPPIN TIME. A recent run at Wolverhampton again proves it handles the

Tapeta surface fine and on actual proof you cant say that about many in the

field, 5 furlongs is too short now for this horse and an easy straight 6

looks ideal, the draw is not a burden and strictly speaking this is a 90

rated AW horse (AW mark is higher than turf) running off a mark of 85.

Spanish City will take all the beating but will be near odds on and at

18/1 with the named bookies and 16/1 generally, there is obvious value

in Mappin Time; off what looks a very lenient AW mark.
