Utopian Lad - 13:10 Newcastle

Flag: Top rated, Trainer in form

Utopian Lad remains a maiden, but he proved at least as good as ever when only just nabbed on the line by a fast finisher at Wolverhampton last week, and should be up to winning races from this mark. The winner of that race has run well since under a penalty at Lingfield, so the form looks solid for the grade, and Utopian Lad is able to race from the same mark here. He also represents a yard that are going well and all looks set for another big run.
