1523752 1 2 3YO plus 13:40 Newcastle 28 Jun 2025 JenningsBet 200 Shops Nationwide Handicap £25,770 6f Standard Tapeta Even Aramram finished a creditable sixth in the Wokingham last week and he's respected along with Windsor scorer Durham Castle. Drawn well in stall 10, though, it might pay to side with DRAMA. Now three from seven on an artificial surface following last month's Kempton triumph, James Ferguson's gelding should have more to offer, despite a subsequent 7lb rise. At a price, it would be unwise to rule out Sergeant Wilko, who responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fourth at Haydock latest. The progressive DURHAM CASTLE has sound claims to take this step up in class in his stride and land a fourth career success in his short career. He looked well ahead of the handicapper with a smooth win last time and a 4lb rise shouldn't arrest his development. It's encouraging he's already tackled the surface when landing a maiden with ease at Southwell last August and the Crisford's charge can march on to another victory before taking on loftier targets in the future. Adaay In Devon has been disappointing so far this term but there have been some excuses and his fourth in a Listed event in May looks a lot brighter after Frost At Dawn, second in that race, has gone on to land a Listed event before running a screamer in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot when going down by a neck.
