7th 5 (2) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in July and followed up at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) before a good second at Newbury (1m2f, heavy); this 3yo has won four of her ten starts and could still have more to offer, provided today's expected return to better ground isn't an issue. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

in touch with leaders, bit short of room under 2f out, ridden and kept on from over 1f out, went second inside final 110yds, no match for winner |

1st 2 (2) |
10th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took form to new level with clearcut success at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month, her third win this year; latest 7lb rise asks quite a lot of her but she'll be fine back on turf and may yet have more improvement to come. |

22nd Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has mixed record in his eight starts but both wins have come at this track (7f) and he kept on well when third of 12 at Wolverhampton (cheekpieces added) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix. |

5 (9) |
28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has low mileage; proved suited by the return to this C&D (back from layoff) three weeks ago, showing a game attitude and taking Newcastle record to 2-2; may well be capable of further improvement at this venue; major contender up just 2lb. |

23rd Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-11, though 7f has looked too far at Southwell the last twice and she is 2lb lower than when just beaten on stable debut at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) the time before, when back from seven months off; interesting with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

31st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

4yo maiden who ran well (close second) over 6f at Chelmsford on stable/seasonal debut; lesser effort over this C&D since; may need a drop back in trip. |

9th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Collared in the last stride over 7f at Wolverhampton in November, her second racecourse start; no progress this year, including in handicaps on her last four starts; dropping down the weights and this her first run in a Class 6; still has time to do better. |
9/1 |

6th 11 (5) |
28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Going the wrong way judged on RPRs, a refusal to settle compounding matters at Leicester latest; best effort so far in handicaps came granted the same 7f/Polytrack combination as tonight, and 6lb lower now than then. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
6th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not offered a huge amount in either of her handicaps, over 7f on the AW and 6f on good to firm; now goes in a tongue-tie; others have more pressing claims. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Opened his account in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in May and wasn't disgraced on turf debut when fifth of nine over 1m here 15 days ago; possibilities now upped in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Confirmed the promise of some of his novice efforts when scoring on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; raced prominently) latest; 3lb rise looks fair and there could be more to come over this trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
23rd May 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Similar level of form in his last three starts as when fifth of eight in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) this month; up in trip for handicap debut and dam's side of pedigree suggests he may improve for it; each-way claims. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Struggled to get competitive in second half of last year and returns from break with overall strike-rate standing at 0-35; 4lb wrong; overlooked. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-18 over hurdles and 0-17 on the Flat; pulled up in C&D maiden in December and makes no significant appeal from 2b out of the weights on handicap return. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins over 6f/7f on turf this year but he didn't appear to get home when fifth of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; has run well on Tapeta and the return to this trip should suit on Polytrack debut after a short break, but he is drawn wider than ideal. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

20/1 |

12th 5 (8) |
12th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Tailed off at big prices in three maiden/novice events (7f/1m) on AW early last year; this is a more realistic assignment but she's been off for 459 days and needs to show a lot more on this switch to turf. |
