10st 0lb |
Six-time turf winner, who ran into some trouble when a creditable second at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last month; this is a deeper race but she's unexposed on AW and has not had many chances at this trip; respected. |

0-7 and generally disappointing on turf for new stable this year; needs to up her game to land this prize and her only previous AW experience was a down-the-field finish on Dundalk's Polytrack in 2021. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who was well beaten in the John Smith's Cup at York last month but won two in a row here (1m5f/1m4f, good to firm) in May and continued in good form until his blip last time; not ruled out now back here. |
12/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at Hamilton (1m5f/1m4f, good to firm) in May and creditable fifth in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago (2m, AW); he's a 9yo who has never won off a mark this high but is versatile in terms of trip and ran well over C&D last month; not ruled out each-way. |
22/1 |

5th 7 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Third and sixth in last two runnings of the C&D Vase on this card; in the groove with successive wins at Hamilton (1m5f/1m4f) this May; however, he's been held off this mark when back up to Class 2 in his three starts since, still in form but suggesting that others will have the edge today. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |

Disappointing favourite in this race last year but he does stay the trip and acts on heavy going; Thirsk in May saw his first win since 2022 but he's underperformed on last four outings; the last two were admittedly on AW and he's back to that last winning mark. |

10st 4lb |
Improved middle-distance handicapper in 2022, on turf and AW, including C&D; not picked up again this year and way below form at Ascot last time but at least he's 7lb lower than when reappearing in a valuable C&D handicap in April; not ruled out back on AW; regular tongue-tie discarded. |
6/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
12th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Improvement peaked with his win in this race last year (good to firm); just 1lb higher today and he was a respectable third on soft ground at Ripon on latest outing, with his tongue tied for the second time, so he needs a second look. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
8yo who has run 20 times at Newcastle (vastly more than any other track) and had two wins here plus six seconds; latest second was in the 2m Northumberland Vase on latest start, having also been placed at this track three times over 1m2f this year, so he is likely to serve up the same highly competitive show over today's 1m4f. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 18 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has run 19 times at Newcastle (vastly more than any other track) and had two wins here plus five seconds; second in this race in 2022 and 12th in 2024; his most fruitful trip this year has been 1m2f but he won over 1m6f last November and was a C&D second last August; has a competitive mark too, for a stable in good form. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (12) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Stays a deal further but has always liked it here and has run well a couple of times over C&D this year; a good pace would help but finished behind Say What You See on turf last time and others hold stronger claims. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

Remains capable at the age of 10 (won on the Flat in October) but it's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps; looks vulnerable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Useful dual-purpose performer in his youth; had a long spell on the sidelines prior to his return in February and he's struggled on the Flat and over hurdles this year; down in the weights and he was prominent in the betting last time so he can't be dismissed. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

0-7 last year and has weakened quickly on both runs this term; however, a wind operation may have done the trick and his good course form and a dangerous mark suggest he's worth a second look. |

0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
