A very busy Saturday with Newcastle's Northumberland Plate meeting taking centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Newcastle

Kinross is the class horse of the race and is officially rated 5lb better than any of his rivals today. He missed an engagement in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last week and runs in this lower grade race today instead as a starting point for his season. Kinross has some good winning form when returning from a break, so the 252 day absence from the track wouldn't be as much of a concern as it might seem. Kinross has also won on the all-weather and a stiff 6f like today's test should suit him really well. Kinross rates a 4 star win Pick.
