Mr Wagyu^v²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 65| D

12/1

Tailed-off (last of 11) on sole previous AW start; 5-30 on turf, and was beaten less than 2L by Buccaneers Vault at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month; promising young jockey aboard.

Form: 463743

I Know How^b³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 63| D

6/1

Wore blinkers (retained) when winning by 1¾L at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in September - form franked since by both Suitcase 'N' Taxi (second) and Round The Island (third); of clear interest despite a 5lb rise.

Form: 763081

Pinarella^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 64| D

33/1

Made all to win at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in July but was a disappointment when a beaten favourite in a Class 5 fillies' handicap here (5f) subsequently; a fraction too high in the handicap?

Form: 238165

Mutabaahy¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 62| D

9/2

Moderate in 2019, yet knocked firmly at the door in similar C&D contests around this time last year (twice placed); dangerously handicapped (off a 9-12lb lower mark) if able to recapture that kind of form; very risky to dismiss.

Form: 294655

Mochalov⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 62

8/1

Struck over 7f at Lingfield (standard) three starts back, beating Miss Icon by 1¼L; the combination of a 5lb higher mark and a switch to Newcastle aren't necessarily viewed as positives.

Form: 932138

(13)

Avenue Of Stars^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 62| BF| CD

12/1

Dual C&D winner - just 1lb above his last winning mark (January); runner-up to the progressive Autumn Flight on his penultimate start at Carlisle (6f, good to soft); merits plenty of respect now switched back to his local track.

Form: 683827

Axe Axelrod^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Dods| OR: 62| D

5/1

Won a 6f Wolverhampton novice for Richard Fahey (as a juvenile); 0-9 since; his best run of the calendar year came over 7f here in June when a staying on third to Defence Treaty; others are preferred.

Form: 039754

(6)

Kaafy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Davis| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 62

33/1

11-race turf maiden; finished runner-up at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three starts back; is difficult to fancy on AW debut following a rather laboured effort at Ripon (6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago.

Form: 286247

(9)

Hawk In The Sky¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 62

16/1

Took a step forward from his earlier efforts when winning a small field novice contest at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in July, accounting for the 2/11f Dream Of Honour; hasn't figured constructively since; easing in the weights for AW debut.

Form: 851774

(7)

My Town Chicago¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 61

10/1

Front-runner; lost a shoe in making all at Wolverhampton (7f) in April; mixed fortunes since, but seemingly right back on track at Kempton (6f) latest; remains fairly handicapped for Newcastle debut.

Form: 186382

(2)

Sepahi^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 61

50/1

Chelmsford winner (5f); can dwell from the stalls and isn't the easiest of horses to predict; 1lb higher than when finishing just under 2L second to Dutch Story at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in August; Newcastle debut.

Form: 639025

(8)

Peachey Carnehan^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Amelia Glass⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 57| BF| CD

10/1

C&D winner, although it should be acknowledged that he's a far more proficient operator around a bend at Wolverhampton; 4lb higher than when winning for tonight's rider Amelia Glass at Leicester (7f, good to firm); place possible.

Form: 058016

(5)

Scandinavian Lady²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune| T: I Furtado| OR: 57| CD

9/1

Let her previous form light years behind when scoring on handicap debut over C&D in January (standard to slow); still 4lb higher in the handicap, but should strip fitter for a couple of recent runs; isn't a forlorn hope in an open contest.

Form: 000-154

Forecasts

Mutabaahy (9/2), Axe Axelrod (5/1), I Know How (6/1), Mochalov (8/1), Scandinavian Lady (9/1), Peachey Carnehan (10/1), My Town Chicago (10/1), Mr Wagyu (12/1), Avenue Of Stars (12/1), Hawk In The Sky (16/1), Hummingbird (16/1), Kaafy (33/1), Pinarella (33/1), Sepahi (50/1)

Another ultra-competitive maximum field handicap, basically a continuation of what we've witnessed all week at Gosforth Park. Some of the more obvious candidates include the likes of the locally-trained Avenue Of Stars and the front-running AW regular My Town Chicago, while a slightly riskier each-way alternative is the attractively handicapped Mutabaahy. However, following on from a recent Carlisle win (form franked) the blinkered I KNOW HOW might just be able to manage his subsequent 5lb weights rise.
