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. |

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. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |
16/1 |

11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

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. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form of late and again looked worth another try at this longer trip when just behind Monks Mead over 1m here four weeks ago; had plenty of chances now though. |
20/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Low-grade maiden but he ran as well as he ever has when third in a similar C&D event 15 days ago (1.5l behind Nicely Curved); wouldn't be sure to be in the same form a second time. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Never figured in a 7f classified race here a month ago on return from a break; that was won by Tilsworth Max; unfavoured by the weights. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Patchy since returning from almost a year off and it's a long time since he went this far; yard been dry for a while and others hold more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Over two years since his last win but he has only had seven runs (three over hurdles) since his Wolverhampton success in January 2024; this winter's efforts need bettering and he ran poorly when tried in blinkers once in the past. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hat-trick and good third to Port Noir last four Flat starts; not seen for nearly a year but his ability to get the job done counts for a lot in this; market can guide. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a near-miss at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but he's taken backward steps in two runs since; overall record is now 1-37 and others are preferred. |
33/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Chased home Monks Mead in a similar event (1m2f) here last month; another fair effort ten days later and dropping back to a mile shouldn't hinder him; strike-rate of 1-36 does temper enthusiasm though. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay. |
