Al Kout (2/1), On Fire (4/1), Melinoe (4/1), Cry Wolf (9/1), Mambo Dancer (10/1), Icario (12/1), Tommy Docc (12/1), Archippos (33/1), Loud And Clear (80/1), Tetradrachm (150/1)
A tight race for the stayers with the in-form Cry Wolf a possible contender on his first start at Newcastle, and the trip unexposed Al Kout also worth considering for Heather Main. Furthermore, On Fire makes his first start since June, and is feasibly a fraction high in the weights, but is always worthy of respect at this track. However, the horse to be most wary of is the Stef Keniry-trained ICARIO. A useful hurdler for previous trainer Gordon Elliott, he's very lightly-raced on the Flat (not since his French days with H-A Pantall), but it'll come as no surprise if he's the most popular option in the market for handicap debut.
