A busy Saturday and Newcastle's Northumberland Plate Day takes centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors Long Shot tipster.
Newcastle
J: Hollie Doyle
T: Sir Mark Prescott
Trooper Bisdee was tipped up by Racing Factors on Sunday where he won very easily at Pontefract by 4 lengths, having travelled powerfully throughout the race. The win made it 2 wins from 2 starts this season and as mentioned last time he was most progressive last year but always looked a bit immature mentally and looked like he would grow into his frame more this year. He now get's a 5lb penalty for the win on Sunday, which leaves him looking like a seriously well handicapped horse. Although this will be Trooper Bisdee's toughest test to date, he looks sure to run a big race. A big galloping track such as Newcastle will play to his strengths and he should be fighting it out at the finish. Trooper Bisdee rates a 5 star each way Pick.
