FIFTYSHADESARESDEV OUR RUNNER ON THURSDAY.

We send one runner to Newcastle on Thursday afternoon for their all weather meeting, where the Tapeta surface is currently riding as standard.

Fiftyshadesaresdev has finished second or third in nine of his 27 flats starts to date, but is yet to get his head in front. It is said that a horse runs better on their second start after a wind op, and that could be the key here. Fiftyshadesaresdev ran perfectly respectably at Southwell last time, when staying on into third, and with that confidence booster behind him, it might be enough to eek out that little bit extra, to take him into the winners enclosure.

Fiftyshadesaresdev runs in the first at 1.35.pm, in the 0-55 handicap, over 12 furlongs, with Aiden Brookes, who has ridden once previously, taking the ride.

Good luck to the connections, Resdev.
