Grey Cossack, scuppered by the draw at Haydock last Saturday, turns out again at Newcastle tomorrow in search of compensation.
On a day when every race at both meetings is sponsored by bookmakers Cantor Sport, Mel Brittain's sprinter goes for the five-furlong handicap with Tyrone Williams in the saddle.
Two outings ago, Grey Cossack ran a cracking race on this course in a 20-runner handicap when beaten only a length into third place by Baby Barry over six furlongs.
On his latest start at Haydock, the Warthill gelding was drawn near the stands rail in a large field but, in bottomless ground, the race developed on the opposite side of the course, leaving him with little chance of making any impression on the principals.
Grey Cossack is well worth another chance tomorrow and is sportingly awarded the nap vote to pop up at a big price.
Frankie Dettori, who rode three winners at Pontefract last week, ventures even further north and is expected to be handsomely rewarded again.
Dettori partners the well-regarded Mobaader in the featured classified stakes and this winner of his only race so far is expected to score on behalf of Saeed Bin Suroor.
In the Cantor Index Handicap over two miles, Ranville looks capable of racking up his fourth win off the reel.
The Michael Jarvis-trained stayer has gone from strength to strength recently and won on soft ground - which he will face again tomorrow - at Chester last week.
Kevin Darley, out of luck in Canada over the weekend, teams up with Systematic (3.30).
The Sherrif Hutton jockey should enjoy a good ride from Mark Johnston's two-year-old, who showed plenty of potential when finishing second on his debut last week.
At Brighton, Aahgowangowan is worth a second look in the Cantor Sport Nursery Handicap.
Mick Channon's youngster has been running really well in defeat lately and was only just denied at Haydock last weekend.
The two-year-old clearly goes well on soft ground and, with those conditions expected tomorrow, a return to the winning groove looks likely.
Eastern Jewel is taken to open her account in the amateur riders' handicap.
Amanda Perratt's filly failed by just half a length to beat the favourite Witney Royale on this course recently and tackles an extra two furlongs tomorrow which is likely to be in her favour.
In a very modest race, Eastern Jewel is fancied to come out on top.
Tomorrow's tips:
Newcastle: 2-00 Frank Mor; 2-30 Able Baker Charlie; 3-00 Fangio's Quest; 3-30 Systematic; 4-00 Grey Cossack (NAP); 4-30 Mobaader; 5-00 Typhoon Ginger; 5-30 Ranville.
Brighton: 1-40 Aahgowangowan; 2-10 Pulsaar; 2-40 Trimontium; 3-10 Faraway John; 3-40 Paula's Pride; 4-10 Kyda; 4-40 Sel; 5-10 Eastern Jewel.
