Final Watch 6/1 hills 5 places
There's a possibility of ground being near heavy at Newbury rain is forecast on top of already softish ground,this is a 17 runner handicap over 7fs and if the ground does go heavy then it might go against a lot of the runners..Final Watch was 2nd in this race on heavy ground off 88 was beaten over 4ls,but the rest of the field were strung out behind as well,runs off 90 won last time out at Ayr so only 2 pound higher,with still only 8 runs on turf..Not a huge pruce with unknowns of draw and correct ground,but is priven at track trip and if it does get desperate..Bullace i've been following has plenty on good form on softer ground,very difficult horse to win with and the sire hasn't had a winner on heavy 0/24 difficult to actually find any horses in here with heavy grund form..

Gisburn 13/2 hills 5 places
Again the same as Final Watch Gisburn won over this c/d last year on ground which as heavy,that was only a nursery but strangely was 1.24 seconds quicker than the 0-90 won by Louis De Palma with Bernard O'Reilly was 2nd in last season over the same c/d the day before..Gisburn never won a race after that,ran some respectable races on different sorts of ground, its last two runs a decent 3rd at Haydock in a 0-90 and then last time out a strong staying on 6th of 19 in the Coral Cup..It's carrying a huge weight like Final Watch,so hard to say it's huge value in sich a big field,but exactky the same applies,it could end up on the ground it's won on..a mark of 92 looks fine after its last run..Puchbowl Flyer hasn't been at its best known for liking heavy ground,didn't run great on it last time out after a bit of a gamble,its last win on heavy was here over this c/d,at some pointt i expect it to hit form befire season ends..
