Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |

Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Last win was over C&D off this mark in November but he can be hard to predict and should have run better back in a 0-60 last time. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Prominent racer; close second at Newcastle (6f) last month but he failed to back it up at Southwell three weeks ago; all his best efforts have come on a straight course so perhaps can be given the benefit of the doubt for last time; one of two runners for the stable; not discounted. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only turf success came off a 2lb higher mark at this meeting last year (7f, good to firm); has run two sound races over C&D on turf this season (behind Perfidia on first occasion, but is 4lb better off); well drawn and should go well again. |

Won over C&D (good to firm) off 1lb higher last May and made a positive return to turf when third of 14 to the reopposing Looks Fantastic over C&D (good to firm again) 17 days ago, faring best of three who came towards the stands' side; has to enter calculations. |

7th 3 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on third stable start then went one better at Southwell (7f, AW); won on turf at the Curragh (6f, soft) last March and this stiff 6f could be a good fit; she's one to consider, especially if slow ground prevails. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Fair ex-Irish 6f winner who got right back on track for her new yard under more patient tactics when second of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; a player nudged up 1lb. |

2nd 7 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Well suited by soft ground; shaped fairly for her new yard over C&D in January and, while she didn't build on that last time, she lacked consistency in Ireland so may well bounce back. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Finished sixth in a 7f Curragh maiden on his 2yo debut, a race where the five to beat him ended 2025 rated 126, 103, 94, 67 and 92; left Dermot Weld for 6,000gns last summer and he has finished out the back in two 1m runs here this winter; drops in trip for his handicap debut; betting useful. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |

Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |

Last 11 AW starts have come at Newcastle including three wins over this trip; well beaten in both visits here, though they were at the start of his career; Oisin Murphy is 6-29 (21%) for the stable in the last five years. |
