‘That’s Just Champion’, Wednesday, January 11

In the 4.30 at Newcastle on Thursday, Holiday Magic failed to trouble the judge on his first eights starts for Michael Easterby, although his fourth of 13, beaten 3¼ lengths, over course and distance on his debut for the yard was the best of a non-descript lot. The Dark Angel gelding hinted at a revival when second of ten, beaten half a length, over course and distance three starts ago, but has won his last three starts, on Tapeta, Polytrack and Fibresand, in the style of a rapidly improving horse and is hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. The 6-year-old steps up in class, but he could be called the winner a long way from home at Southwell and, if able to translate that form back to Tapeta, must take a world of beating.

Selection: Newcastle 4.30 Holiday Magic to win
