30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |

3rd 5 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |

8th 8 (1) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Began the season with two C&D wins, the second an impressive one; only fourth at Wolverhampton last time but he was putting in good late work and that form has been well advertised since; another 4lb higher today but the return to Newcastle is in his favour. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

1st 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |

All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has something to prove back on turf but is a leading player provided AW form is transferred back to this sphere; runner-up off 10lb higher at Southwell (5f) most recently. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

4th 6 (4) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner in November and added to tally when making all over 6f at this course in January; failed to recover from a tardy start at Southwell next time and wasted no time showing he's still in form when third back here (6f again) 23 days ago; respected. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |

5th 6 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
12th 8 (12) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of good AW runs for current yard since December; his turf record is less compelling but he has been placed on good ground; others are preferred for win purposes. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

8st 11lb |
Two 6f wins on AW and he's continued in reasonable form since the latest of them in October; has a 5lb lower turf mark but he didn't come up with much on grass last summer and this is the first time he's worn headgear. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Ended 2025 in good form on the AW but this veteran failed to fire in a pair of 6f Newcastle handicaps at the start of the year; needs to bounce back after a break. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since October 2024; form figures of 223 here through December (6f/7f) suggested he was near to ending that barren sequence; however, his latest effort (eighth) was a step backwards, leaving this 9yo stablemate of True Promise work to do against Dandy Magic; easing mark. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has a modest strike-rate (wins came in 2019 and 2024) but he's in a consistent vein of form, having been placed at Newcastle in last three starts; may remain competitive. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

4lb above her last winning mark (over C&D); pipped on post over C&D on penultimate start, and again in the mix (third, with True Promise behind) over 5f here last week; virtually guaranteed to remain competitive; live contender. |

3rd 4 (7) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

6f win here in November off 4lb lower; better form when missing out by a nose here (6f) five weeks ago; will need a good pace back at 5f but should remain competitive. |

2nd 2 (7) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f; 10-1, from a 2lb lower mark) early in the New Year, having regularly caught the eye here prior; no obvious excuses when fourth over C&D latest (14-1); others more appealing. |

4th 4 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Came from off the pace to score at Southwell last month, his seventh success; probably still on a workable mark but his latest run was below par and his record in recent months is very mixed. |

7th 4 (13) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

His Carlisle win in July (6f, soft) was a comfortable one and he is only 3lb higher tonight; not far behind Sugar Baby at Redcar a fortnight ago but this will require more. |

Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |
14/1 |

11th 14 (12) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
His last win was in October 2024 and he's been well held in most of his runs this year; on reduced mark but this looks tough back up in grade and others are preferred. |
