Did well last January-April over 1m4f on the Tapeta here and at Newcastle, and he returned from seven months off with a promising C&D performance (4-1) in December, not getting the best of runs; one to consider. |

Took his turf record to 0-6 when well held in a York Dante meeting handicap in May but he's a much healthier 4-9 on AW, including a win over C&D; big player if ready to roll after seven months off. |

Better than ever when quite a comfortable winner of a 13-runner race at Southwell (1m4f) four weeks ago; raised 5lb to a clear career-high mark so another improved effort will be required to follow up. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; usually held up and he came from the back when seventh of 20 in this race last year; whether he's well enough handicapped to win this time round remains to be seen but he's shown enough in his two British starts this summer to demand each-way respect. |

Won last season's Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; some fair efforts in Meydan earlier this year, and also in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago following a break, but he needs to raise his game to take this. |

Usually runs well at Newcastle, where he won this race last year in good style; took a big prize in Australia last October and struck up a solid sequence over the winter; absent 119 days and 12lb higher than 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best, but needs respect. |

Won a 2m Goodwood handicap in June (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the second time; hasn't run quite as well since (beaten 47l at Goodwood last time); down in grade and visor on again (no obvious improvement last time he wore one); chance. |

All three wins on good to soft, the latest in October 2023; third off 5lb higher at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March but disappointing since. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has become well handicapped, but is usually seen over further and the drop in trip didn't inspire him at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) last month; others preferred. |

9st 12lb |
Prolific winner (7-13 on Tapeta) who switches to a visor from cheekpieces having twice finished held off her career-high mark last month; this trip's as far as she wants in this company and she needs to find a bit more for the new form of headgear. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has only ever raced on the AW and has a fine straike-rate on it (8-17); not seen to best effect when fourth of six in a slowly run contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last Saturday, but should be suited by the return to this sort of test; shortlisted. |

The winner of eight of her 13 runs in handicaps, taking another step forward with cheekpieces added when keeping on strongly over 1m3f at Southwell 16 days ago; four wins at this track, two over this trip, and she's one to take seriously. |

A fairly useful 1m6f winner for James Ferguson in 2022 but he's failed to beat a rival in three runs for his current yard, last of five over 1m4f here 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
The lack of any win since 2021 sees him down to his lowest mark since handicap debut in 2019; stacks of form from 2023 gives him a big chance in theory and he wasn't far away in February three starts ago; while hard to dismiss, it's also hard to make him the percentage call. |

11th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |

Now a stone below last winning mark; however, he's far from solid on 2024 AW form and losing spell goes back to 2021; by no means certain to take advantage of the drop in weights. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |
