3rd 1 (3) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |
10/1 |
|
1 (10) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Mainly below his best since winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in May, including when well beaten with blinkers applied (retained) here over 1m eight days ago; back to 7f. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a brace when scoring over C&D last September off 4lb lower; has run consistently since and looks capable of winning another race such as this. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Reliable type who completed a double when scoring over C&D in September and was an eyecatching third behind Magic Runner here (9.4f) last month; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Completed a double when scoring over C&D in September and he's been placed in three of his four runs since; usually comes from off the pace, and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his third success on the AW when beating On Key over C&D eight days ago, despite hanging left; holds solid claims under a 5lb penalty (due to be 1lb higher in future). |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Readily landed a division of this race last year and sole win since came in C&D classified contest 34 days ago; should go well, for all that he might be vulnerable to younger legs. |
7/1 |
|
1st 12 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has finished third in classified events on three of his four starts this year; first-time blinkers won't need to give him too much extra. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handy sort who has been successful three times on the AW this year; has won four times on turf, but was found to have bled at Ayr last time; others more convincing. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Successful three times over 6f on Newcastle AW this year; ran well at Musselburgh (7f, good; neck second) returned to turf last week; now 2lb higher but Cara Tuke removes 7lb; respected in current form. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made it three wins in his last four starts (all 6f at Newcastle) when seeing off ten rivals in an apprentice race last week; former C&D scorer so the step back up in trip shouldn't be an issue and he escapes a penalty. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hit-and-miss performer who hasn't run in a sprint in over a year; been more consistent this season but she'll want a good test over such an easy 6f and plenty of rain would aid her cause. |
7/1 |
|
5 (3) |
1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from layoff with C&D (good) win in May and also ran well when placed at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) later that month; still on a workable mark; features prominently in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
9 (3) |
30th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made the most of a useful mark when winning on Musselburgh return (7f, good; has won on soft) in April; has to prove as well suited by a stiffer test at the trip but she's still well treated after going back up just 1lb and the recent rain will not be a problem. |
