2m½f Jenningsbet Northumberland Plate Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3yo+)
The two I like in the Northumberland Plate are RIDE THE THUNDER and TEAM PLAYER. Both horses look suited by the test, but Team Player has already shown he can handle Newcastle’s extended staying trip and finish his race strongly. The four-year-old of Without Parole could still possess some improvement at this distance and is a major player.
Whereas Ride The Thunder has posted strong collateral form with the 105 rated Valiancy on his last two starts. Ride The Thunder put in a big run after more than a 200-day break on his seasonal opener after being gelded and if he improves with a fitness edge he may have a slight class angle on this field.
1pt win Ride The Thunder @7/1, 1pt win Team Player @7/1, 15:15 Newcastle, Saturday
