9st 12lb |
All six of his wins have been on turf but he has form on AW; won by a head at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May before a lesser effort on his final start for Richard Fahey; failed to beat a rival on yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and the visor now returns. |

Four Flat wins this season at up to 11.5f and likes fast ground; showed little over hurdles last season but this is his first handicap. |

Four wins on good to firm/firm this season, the last two at Bath (1m3.5f) and Salisbury (1m2f) in August; hasn't done as well on easier ground on last two starts; wouldn't rule out. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |
|
6 (10) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |
|
3 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-44 but she is consistent and has winning form over C&D; was returning from 87 days off when beaten about 4l into fourth of 11 behind Moon Over The Sea here last month and should finish closer on 5lb better terms; new headgear combination. |
5/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent mare who posted a good third of eight to Belle Amie in 1m4f classified event at Wolverhampton in February; this C&D winner needs considering. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner but she's been placed on numerous occasions for current yard, including when third in a Southwell handicap (1m6f) last time; could well again back in trip and she's in the mix for in-form yard. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who returned to form when third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and built on it to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; he should be fine on today's better ground and is respected up just 3lb. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners). |

7th 7 (9) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18 (including five starts on Jersey) before he scored by a neck in last-gasp fashion at 80-1 in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March on first Flat start for David Bridgwater; beaten 22l when seventh of ten back in handicap company at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
20th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

0-18 (including five starts on Jersey) before he scored by a neck in last-gasp fashion at 80-1 in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) four weeks ago on second run for David Bridgwater; that was also his second run since a long absence; 1m3f looks well worth a go and he's in contention. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked. |
13/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in this grade at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) and backed it up with a solid C&D second two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of the action once again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Turf winner who was in good nick on AW during the winter and he scraped home to secure Lingfield classified (1m2f) in January; another solid effort when runner-up in similar event last time and he's respected back on grass after two-month break. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well round here (AW and turf), including when just holding off Iftikhaar in a weak affair over C&D in January; continued in form since and is more likely than most at this level to give his running; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f win here last month has been followed by good efforts back here and at Chelmsford (behind Man Is King); returning to a mile unlikely to be a problem and he's one to consider. |
