Verdict

Not so deep in numbers as some of the other handicaps on a very strong Newcastle card, but competitive enough with International Law and Lost At Sea locking horns after fighting out the finish to a similar race over C&D earlier this month. Both horses are much respected despite inching up the weights, but a couple of the others are slightly more enticing. Ifubelieveindreams merits close inspection in the prelims, and she should go very close if repeating her excellent fast finishing second to Favourite Royal at Lingfield in November, with her trainer Ismail Mohammed not known for sending runners North to Newcastle solely for the good of their health (4 from 12 on the AW, and 2 from 8 on the old turf track). However, we'll take a chance that Ruth Carr can work her magic on MUTARAKEZ. She's an expert handler at rejuvenating horses who have lost their way, and this largely AW untested new recruit (cost £22,000) is absolutely thrown in off a mark of 81 if able to regain some of his old sparkle from 2015.
