Sentry on Duty at Newcastle

Nicky Henderson's Sentry Duty heads the confirmations for the John Smith's

Northumberland Plate at Newcastle on Saturday.

Formerly trained in France, the five-year-old has had two starts for the master

of Seven Barrows, finishing fourth over hurdles before winning at Newmarket in

great style by two and a half lengths.

A total of 51 horses have stood their ground at the five-day stage with Charlie

Egerton's Vinando and Gerard Butler's All The Good next in the list.

The weights are due to rise as Jamie Osborne has taken out Ascot Gold Cup

runner-up Geordieland, although two Royal winners may go for another big prize.

Osborne's Enjoy The Moment won the Queen Alexandra Stakes and could run again

at Gosforth Park, while Paul Webber's Full House, winner of the Ascot Stakes, is

another possible.

The Irish challenge is headed by high-class hurdler Al Eile while Tony Martin's

Leg Spinner, fourth behind Full House last week, could renew rivalry with

Webber's charge.

John Gosden's Right To Play, a winner of two of his last three starts will have

his supporters, as will Peter Chapple-Hyam's River Alhaarth and Chester Cup

winner Greenwich Meantime.

Last season's Ebor winner Mudawin, Michael Bell's Juniper Girl, and Amanda

Perrett's Nosferatu are others with leading claims.
