In-Play Hints: No messing around for Imjoeking

Racing takes place at Newcastle today.

Timeform assess the In-Play angles for two races at Newcastle this afternoon...

Race: 14:50 Newcastle - 2m6f Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Pace Forecast: Contested.

Specific Pace Hint: Blue Kascade is unlikely to have an easy time if adopting customary prominent position: The stronger the pace the better for Wolf Shield, who looks to have a suitable scenario here.

Individual Price Hint: Forty Crown traded at more than 10 times BSP and 2 times BSP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Hurraboru traded at 10% or less of BSP twice on its last 5 starts.

Race: 16:50 Newcastle - 2m Handicap Hurdle

Pace Forecast: Contested.

Specific Pace Hint: Croco Bay is unlikely to get things its own way close up and could therefore prove vulnerable in the finish: The likelihood of an honest pace may tee things up for one coming from further back, with Imjoeking a possible beneficiary.

Individual Price Hint: Smart Ruler traded at 10% or less of BSP and 25% or less of BSP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts.
