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

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |

Scored twice over 7f in 2025 but she's failed to make the frame this season, eighth in 7f Redcar handicap five days ago. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Fair run when fifth over C&D last time when Perfidia was second and Mayo County third; has a bit to find with that pair but wouldn't rule out completely. |
14/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Poor 1-22 strike-rate on turf and not at the top of her game on Southwell AW on her last two starts, but she's never really shone there; she's 5lb lower than for her close fourth over C&D (good) last October and is an interesting contender now away from Southwell. |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |

9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

|
4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten 25 times since his 7f AW win in July 2024; well short of his best in three runs this year and he looks vulnerable again. |

Sole win from 28 starts was in July 2024; hasn't shown enough in two AW classified events in recent months to think a second win is imminent, particularly as he's 6lb out of handicap here. |

21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Showed a bit of promise here (5f) on sole 2yo start; well held in both 3yo outings but this Boughey representative looks the type to improve now handicapping at a modest level; bred to stay the new trip; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively. |

Lowly rated Flat maiden; has taken pretty well to hurdling this spring, making the frame at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good), but does not look obviously well treated for handicap debut. |
