18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

Prolific here during the 2024/25 AW season but he's beaten one rival in two starts after an absence; couldn't support with any confidence. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |

6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his four wins have been at 6f on turf and last three were in 2024; well handicapped on old form but he was out of sorts in the autumn and has something to prove back up in trip for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns). |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 6f wins last autumn, two of them on heavy ground; lightly raced this year but unable to threaten on soft going on his two outings last month and he needs to raise his game. |
14/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Mudlark; won three times over 6f last year on going ranging from good to soft to heavy; not quite as his best in three runs this season (bled from the nose last time) but could bounce back with a hood tried (can race keenly). |

26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
6f win here last season; best effort this year came over C&D but she wasn't able to build on it last time and there is other pace to contend with in this field. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has generally struggled since her Ripon win (6f, good) last September but she showed signs of a revival when third there (5f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if she can build on that but she's drawn out wide here and could have competition for the lead. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
5th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent filly who's done most racing over 6f and finished well held in a few tries over this trip; is now 4lb lower than when winning here last autumn but she's generally struggled this season. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dead-heated over 1m here last year off this mark but a rollercoaster ride for his backers in the meantime; another fair effort when 2l away on the AW three weeks ago but he's never the percentage call. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Only 1lb higher than when dead-heating at Brighton (1m, good) in May but he's been up and down since and was last of nine at Brighton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he's not the percentage call; cheekpieces removed. |
12/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lost second to Headshot in closing stages of 1m2f classified race won by Celebrating Ethel here (good) last month but that was still a good effort and today's shorter trip probably suits him better; now only 1lb higher than when dead-heating over C&D in May and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces. |

4th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Inconsistent on turf this year and holds weaker claims than fellow 10yo Kenstone, who is in good form; sole AW win came in 2016. |

Verdict
Selby’s Pride has been threatening off her reduced mark and can go well again, while William Dewhirst and Sir Maxi will also have their supporters. Hour By Hour should appreciate the return to 6f and he is a major player but WE’RENOTREALLYHERE looked progressive on bad ground in the spring and he’s dropped in the weights after a series of efforts on quicker ground. A return to form could be on the cards back on heavy.[Paul Smith]
