2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |

19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; not beaten far at Newcastle in November (7f) but that is flanked by lesser efforts; blinkers back on today but others appeal more. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won twice over 1m at Newcastle for Iain Jardine over the winter; down the field at Lingfield on his stable debut three weeks ago; up in trip and usual tongue-tie absent; cheekpieces the headgear of choice. |

9th 3 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

In excellent form for Iain Jardine this winter, signing off with 1m Newcastle win in February; more is needed for his new yard off a 4lb higher mark. |

11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

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. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

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. |

10th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has looked quirky/awkward at times; perhaps hard to place after winning first two starts for the Johnstons and he left them for 3,800gns in February; new yard had a winner with a recent recruit last week but this one might be best watched. |
