Roberto Escobarr Heads the 2021 Northumberland Plate Betting
A William Haggas-trained horse is generally never far away from the top of a betting market like this and perhaps he will have the market leader, with Roberto Escobarr making an appearance at Newcastle and the four-year-old is among the top-weighted horses.
The horse was recently seen in the winners’ enclosure when obliging in the Sky Bet Race to the Ebor Grand Cup Stakes and this should be noted was a listed race, with the horse previously finishing in fifth spot when running in a top class race at Ascot.
Dancing King Could Run a Big Race at Newcastle Racecourse
Dancing King is currently trading at a double figure price and this is a horse who could be open to big improvement at three-years-old, with Mark Johnston seeing his runner having collected four victories in 2021 which bodes well for a race such as this one.
The Kingsley Park 16-owned runner has also secured wins at all-weather tracks when making an appearance at Wolverhampton and Kempton, with further victories being secured at Doncaster and Leicester along the way.
Bodyline has had a long absence away from the track and much depends on whether the horse can rediscover the form that had him bang in contention in the King George V Stakes on 17 June 2020 before finishing in sixth place.
This horse is trained by Sir Mark Prescott and there’s another runner from this stable in the form of Longsider who has only raced once this season at the time of writing, securing a victory in the Betway Novices Stakes at Lingfield Park.
