He struggled when stepped into open company last season after losing just once in his rookie campaign, but bounced back to wins in January at Windsor before scoring level two in the National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell.
The connections have always been optimistic that he will do his best work over fences, so they will be hoping for a successful debut in the chase, which he clearly can.
Jupiter des Mottes remains unexposed and maintains a good level of form over hurdles, particularly when winning a strong handicap hurdle at Perth in April. He made his chasing debut in November 2025 but did not go over fences then, however, he looks the type to improve over a fence at three miles and switched to top trainer Dan Skelton, a much better chase effort is predicted.
Who is Glenn? has run respectably over the fences, and he can use his experience here, although Nick Scholfield’s charge will be hoping the front two drop their lines over the fences.
The Irish Storyteller, The Brave Viscount rules debut.
6.00 Newcastle – Promising Starburster makes handicap debut
Promising two year old Starburster makes handicap debut at Follow @attheraces on Nursery Handicap on Instagram in Newcastle.
The Richard Spencer-trained filly was an attractive fourth on her debut before improving for her second start when scoring at Newbury. She showed a poised attitude on the day to beat Bidsta, who won her next two starts. Her unexposed profile and strong form should mean she can be very competitive with an opening score of 82.
She meets some honorable rivals like Innichen has plenty of experience in large meeting nurseries and should do well in calmer waters and Blazing Hell could bounce back to form after finishing last in the Weatherbys 2-YO Stakes at York, a poor draw at 15.
Siouxperb can potentially be bypassed. He disappointed at Coventry after a dazzling debut, before running well to finish a close second to good type in Sonic Angel. The Acomb Stakes was then too hot for him before he didn’t seem to enjoy the mild conditions at Ayr. He contains the potential to return to form in all conditions and lost two kilos in the handicap.
Minzelle is another that has proved too much at the listed company after impressive early form. She has been the favorite in the last three, even though she hasn’t shown much.
