HOLD TIGHT flopped when tried on turf at Ascot last time out but a return to the all weather at Newcastle can see him regain the winning thread in the Betfred "Home of Goals Galore" Handicap.

The four-year-old has seen only limited action to date, and will be having just his fifth outing here, but he appears to retain a good chunk of ability.

A son of Exceed And Excel, Hold Tight opened with a win on soft ground at Leicester last October, defying his evident inexperience to hold off subsequent winner Merhoob by nearly three lengths.

He could not quite follow up from an unfavourable draw at Lingfield the next time but bounced back with a fine success at that venue in January.

Each of his five rivals that day has gone on to win at least one race and the second, Boomerang Bob, appears to be a useful yardstick, judged on his rating of 94.

All those factors saw Hold Tight well supported before the Victoria Cup at Ascot in May – but he could not live up to expectations, being hampered when trying to challenge before being eased right down by today's rider William Buick when his chance had gone.

That race is always ultra-competitive, and perhaps it was too big an ask, but trainer Saeed bin Suroor appears to have found an ideal opportunity for redemption here for today's nap selection.

MONT RAS is the epitome of consistency and he can duly gain just reward in the Betfred Seaton Delaval Handicap.

He has very rarely finished out of the first three on his 10 most recent outings but the handicapper is at least giving him a chance of success as he has dropped from his highest rating of 103 to a more workable 94.

The nine-year-old is certainly one for the short list here with Sam James on board.

Trainer Clive Cox and owners Paul and Clare Rooney enjoyed a day to remember with My Dream Boat at Ascot last week and YOURE ALWAYS RIGHT can keep the bandwagon rolling, albeit at a much lower level, in the Whiting & Partners Handicap at Newmarket.

A 45,000 guineas recruit last May, the three-year-old made a pleasing start 12 months on when running out a one-and-a-half-length winner at Windsor.

The daughter of Pour Moi finished strongly over an extended mile that day and probably still has a little up her sleeve as she begins her handicap life off a perch of 83. Adam Kirby takes the ride.

FAWAAREQ made it fifth time lucky at Beverley in May and can follow up in the Racing UK Day Pass Just £10 Handicap under Paul Hanagan.

While he did not win by far in that maiden event, he looked as though he still had a bit to learn and is a thoroughly interesting contender as he steps out of maiden company.

DE VEER CLIFFS is the pick in the 32Red On The App Store Maiden Stakes at Nottingham after chasing home Architecture at that track on her only juvenile start last year.

Sent off a 100-1 shot for Martyn Meade, she was only beaten a length and a half and the form has certainly been boosted by Architecture's Oaks second this term.

SUNNUA is the choice in the EBF Stallions Captain J.C. Stewart Fillies' Handicap at Hamilton after posting a reasonable third on her return at Haydock earlier this month.

BREXIT can prove an apt winner of the Win Races With Jonathan Portman Novice Auction Fillies' Stakes at Newbury.

Whether you are voting in or out in the referendum on the European Union, opting for Brexit can pay dividends here after a creditable debut.
