Handicap Good Things - Can High Flying Magpies Continue To Soar?

Newcastle United are bet365's big movers in their Racing Post handicap market, whilst Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have been eased to a three figure price.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth "It seemed to be all doom and gloom on Tyneside during pre-season and unfancied Newcastle drifted out to 16/1 before a ball was kicked.

"However, a settled side playing with plenty of confidence, admittedly coupled with a fairly fixture-friendly start, has seen Newcastle's odds slashed down to 3/1 second favouritism."

Roberto Mancini's Man City lead the market at 11/4 (opened 14/1), whilst the biggest movers in the other direction are Arsenal who, having opened at 20/1, are now out to a whopping 100/1.
