8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |

Didn't really progress in four runs for William Haggas but she made a good start for new yard when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, Tapeta; 14-1) last month; showed a good attitude to seal the deal in that race and she's respected off 3lb higher here. |

8st 4lb |
Often slowly away; last won in February 2025, with 14 races since; eight of nine wins were on AW, but easily best turf form came on last two starts (minor honours over 1m2f at Redcar) which gives hope; 2lb out of handicap. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to last February and eight of his nine wins have come on AW; can be slowly away but that didn't stop him finishing second over C&D (good to firm) last Monday when back up in trip; has the same mark today and could well be in the mix once more. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |

2.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again. |

Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away. |

Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |

12st 0lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but had his favoured good ground when second over 2m4f here three weeks ago and the well-backed winner followed up in easy fashion at Ludlow; drops in trip but has a big shout off 1lb higher provided the rain stays away. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Fair Flat racer who showed some hurdling promise on good ground towards the end of last year; well beaten in both subsequent handicaps (good to soft/heavy) but may well fare better now back on a sound surface. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1m4f winner for previous yard; some promise in novice hurdles at Taunton (2m/2m3f) last month and he may have had stamina issues when upped to 3m on recent handicap debut; still early days in this sphere but he needs improvement back in trip and he's untried on heavy ground. |

Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f. |

Dual turf winner (1m/1m2f) for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland; runner-up to stablemate Enola Grey at Southwell in March but she's had only two runs since and has finished last of five in both of them; mark is sliding but she's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |
