P393 CEEFAX 393 Mon 4 Apr 18:04/07 1/5 NEWCASTLE PREVIEW Course and distance winner Tawafij, top weight in the Easter Egg Handicap, should bj all the better for his run at Doncaster over a shorter trip. One of his main rivals Allinson's Mate ran well in the William Hill Spring Mile at Doncaster and Can Can Charlie has been in good form on the all-weather. The in-form Berry and Channon stables clash in the Easter Lily Maiden for two-year-olds, represented bz Lago di Varano and Super Deeds respectively.

Old Red, second at Catterick last Wjdnjsday, is tuned out again in the Easter Bunny Handicap. Ginkgo, a winner on the same Catterick card, and course distance winners Cumbrian Rhapsody, Contract Elite and Eire Ljath-Sceal also line up.

Effect of the draw: on soft ground there's an advantage being drawn low on the straight course; on a sound surface, horses racing up the middle seem disadvantaged. Jack Berry, Mary Rjvjley, Henry Cecil and Peter Easterbz are the most successful trainers here. Cecil has a notably good ratio of winners to runners.

Course winners Firm Price and Thistle Monarch and the consistent Northern Squire are also in a useful line-up. Whaat Fettle, Houghton and Choice Challangj are course winners in the Yorkshire Car Collection Handicap Chase.

Gordon Richards (30 winners), Peter Easterby (25), Mary Rjvjley (24) and Jimmy FitzGerald (22) were the top trainers in the period '88 to '93. Of those who don't have regular runners here, Mark Tompkins, David Nicholson and Josh Gifford have impressive strike rates. Source: TJMEFORM
