3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

6th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Clear promise in second and third maiden runs and step up to 2m saw her beat four rivals with ease in handicap at Thirsk on Friday; this is a quick turnaround but easy to think 6lb penalty (she's 2lb well in) may not stop her. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (2m7f) in November and posted another solid effort when third of six in another 2m7f handicap there last month; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Having been off for 168 days and been gelded he made a winning debut for this yard at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in March last year; off another 17 months before fifth of six here (2m) 11 weeks ago; has a bit to prove now. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning yard debut at Southwell in March 2024, appreciating the return to 1m6f and the switch to Tapeta; up just 3lb but has more to prove on first run since, back on Polytrack and upped to 2m. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ties in with Basilette on latest effort but that rival holds stronger claims kept to Stratford; has never won away from Plumpton and, despite a falling mark, her losing run is mounting up to boot. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; has shown bits of form since but was pulled up at Plumpton (2m, good) when last seen; difficult to enthuse over. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Done a lot of his winning later in the year but offered more in the returning blinkers last time, back from a couple of months off; boasts a decent record when dipping below 0-70 company and won't mind any rain. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Was 2-3 on the AW until disappointing at Kempton two months ago but he had been running well in the blinkers (reapplied) and he's a three-time turf winner on a competitive mark. |
8/1 |
