7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Finds winning races difficult (2-25) but both wins have been over C&D, the latest in a similar contest (good to firm) last Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty but looks sure to run his race. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 24 starts came in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good) in May last year; beaten just under 2l into fourth of nine behind Washington Heir here (5f, good) three weeks ago, but may be better over this trip these days; a player despite his wide draw. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins last season, including competitive C&D handicap off the same mark as today; in and out this season but he gave it a good go from the front when close sixth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week, and this less demanding track should play to his strengths; respected. |
11/2 |

6th 13 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made giant strides in 2025, winning four times including a big-field 5f Class 2 handicap at Southwell; only 1lb higher today but his 2026 campaign has been up and down and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |

5th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
36,000gns yearling; seventh foal; closely related to 5f winner Valentine Blues (AW; RPR 72), half-brother to 5f winner Celsius (96); unraced dam closely related to 7.4f Listed winner Choose Me; already gelded; has fairly good standard to reach on debut. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |
9/2 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 5f, on good to firm and soft; on a good mark now and he has run creditably over 6f but might prefer an easier test at the trip than this, especially with the ground having eased. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In fine form on the AW this winter, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell recently; very lightly raced on turf but still merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a sixth victory on Tapeta when going in at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower three weeks ago; never won off a mark quite this high but gives his trainer, who also run He's An Angel, a decent hand. |
7/2 |

1st 6 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been on Tapeta and last three have come over C&D; finished a remote third at Southwell 12 days ago but that was behind a handicap blot and he was in good form before that run; shortlisted. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

1st 8 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from 21 starts and that was in a maiden in August 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights but he generally struggled for Nigel Tinkler last year and was last of ten on recent stable debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); visor is now added. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
33/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Two creditable handicap runs have followed her Ripon novice win last month; she'll need to raise her game to defy this mark but, after just six starts, that's quite possible. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Didn't need to improve on her spring seconds to win a weak Ripon novice 12 days ago; she settled better that day, though, and remains relatively unexposed as she goes handicapping at a sensible level. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner at sprint trips; runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford in January and 1m2f hasn't suited on her last two starts; her reduced mark is a plus and cheekpieces are added, but others have more pressing claims. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time winner at sprint trips; stays further but stamina seemed to run out late when tackling 1m2f for the first time at Chelmsford 19 days ago. |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time winner at sprint trips but it was over 1m when a staying-on second here last time; was no match for the winner but that effort offers hope for her staying this far. |

Verdict
Nigel Tinkler’s TICKTYBOO has been beaten ten times but his latest Newcastle effort was just about his best yet. Caribbean Wind commands respect after two seconds and others to bear in mind include Last Outlaw, Canon’s House, Kodenza and My Awele.[Alistair Jones]
