Flat racing on turf in Britain concluded a week early due to waterlogging at Redcar and Doncaster this week, but the code’s traditional final card at Town Moor has been salvaged by a switch to the synthetic track at Newcastle and a competitive field of 14 runners will go to post for the £70,000 November Handicap on Saturday afternoon.
Local Dynasty is the early favourite to extend Charlie Appleby’s strong finish to the campaign and has performed with credit in all three of his starts this year, but he will be making his debut on an artificial surface and Teumessias Fox, who is two-from-four on all-weather tracks, is preferred.
