A good result yesterday with Espadrille, she won comfortably at Newcastle, backed into 4/5 from around evens, she is useful and will win again.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Cowboy Soldier

Time: 2:10 Newcastle

Current Odds: 9/4 (Betfair)

This horse ran with a lot of promise last year on his only start, he was a good second over 5f, just beaten that day by an experienced rival.  He should be fine on the surface and the stiff 5f of Newcastle will pose no problems. He can win this race and go on to do well this year.  Of rivals, Black Sails, is talented but has been tried over various trips, she drops back to 5f today, I am just not totally convinced she is genuine, Gowanbuster is a course winner over 6f, he could well be in the mix.
