Eight race maiden (twice a runner up over 1m). Off the track since May 2017 and hard to see how she can figure prominently at these weights.
Nathaniel filly who was knocked down unraced for 30,000 gns in November 2017. Beaten just shy of 2L when a staying on third to Fountain Of Time at Lingfield (1m) twelve days ago and that winner now carries a 7lb penalty.
Iffraaj filly who defied considerable greeness during the race to score decisively on debut at Lingfield (1m) twelve days ago; Sketching third. Penalised for that success, but further improved anticipated with James Doyle now taking the ride.
Sixties Icon filly who is a sister to a couple of winners including Ingleby Mackenzie (1m4f). Finished in the ruck on debut at Newbury (1m soft) in October and experiences racing competitively on the AW for the first time tonight.
Unraced third foal by Tobougg out of a 7f winning dam (Raspberry Beret). With a yard that can prep a newcomer to put their best foot forward, but this is asking plenty against proven winner Fountain Of Time.
Street Cry filly who was beaten in excess of 7L when finishing fourth of six to Assimile at Southwell last month (7f). Entitled to improve for that initial experience, but needs to.
Mullionmileanhour filly who ran okay on debut over 7f here earlier in the month, finishing 5¾L fourth to Regina Pacis. Upped in trip in what looks a stronger contest on paper.
Cost €75,000 as a yearling, but didn't look the sharpest in three starts for Richard Fahey as a juvenile. Moved on during the winter months and expected to struggle in this contest.
Home-bred filly out of the 6f-1m winning dam Social Rhythm. Well beaten (fourth) on debut over C&D a fortnight ago against a couple of really promising rivals. This race rates as another small step in her overall education process.
Invincible Spirit filly who represents a trainer with an excellent strike rate at Newcastle. Not sharp enough on debut when finishing sixth behind Fountain Of Time (1m Lingfield), so needs to have progressed quickly for that initial experience.
Unraced eighth foal by Elusive Quality out of My Dubai. Half-sister to four winners including Mishaal (6f-1m) and Mizwaaj (7f). Pedigree for the AW, but hooded on debut for a trainer who is 10/54 (19%) on the AW at Newcastle.
Forecasts
Fountain Of Time (4/6), Playfull Spirit (7/2), Raaqyah (7/1), Sketching (15/2), Jumeirah Street (12/1), Jenoow (50/1), Can Can Sixty Two (66/1), Molly Mayhem (80/1), Luola (125/1), Fidra Bay (125/1), New Rhythm (200/1)
The market will provide the required clues with regards the newcomer Raaqyah and it would be no surprise to see her popular given both her trainers status and her pedigree for AW racing. However, we'll stick with proven form with the Godolphin owned FOUNTAIN OF TIME expected to confirm Lingfield placings with Sketching and Playfull Spirit despite having a penalty to shoulder. This Iffraaj filly was a decisive winner and appeared to have masses of potential further improvement in the locker, and it's telling that she's clearly considered to be a useful sort with James Doyle making a rare foray to Newcastle (4/17; 24%) in order to take the mount.
