In the second race of the day at Newcastle it sees a Class 5 Novice contest over a mile and Splinter for trainer Richard Fahey will be very tough to beat.
We believe he is one of the best bets of the day off the back of his fourth on debut at York last year on soft ground and now in a weaker field should show improvement.
The three year old showed bundles of ability when finishing fourth and now getting the step up in trip he could be a very exciting newcomer.
