No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Without a win since October 2024 but made the frame over C&D off his basement handicap mark on three of his last four appearances and has each-way claims again in this classified race. |

Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |

Ran respectably in this contest last year (finished fifth) and at Beverley latest start; however, this three-time Newcastle AW winner is only 1-26 on turf, the success registered in 2023. |

Drops back in trip having failed to sustain her effort over 8.5f at Beverley last time; has plenty of C&D form, including third-place finish in this race last year; could go well. |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

9st 2lb |
In good form over 1m last month, winning here (soft) before solid placed efforts both here and at Ffos Las; drops back to 7f and probably needs to improve for it. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Had a favourable track position when scoring at Chepstow (1m, soft) but came up shy back there off this 2lb higher mark when ridden by Charlie Tucker; only 2-34 but he should at least give his running. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made the most of his rail draw (he's landed the top stall again today) when winning under Zoe Lewis (rides Homeland today) over C&D on soft ground nine days ago; this race looks a bit deeper but he's only 2lb higher. |

21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Showed a bit of promise here (5f) on sole 2yo start; well held in both 3yo outings but this Boughey representative looks the type to improve now handicapping at a modest level; bred to stay the new trip; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed on her first two starts over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good) but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham last month, where the 2m4f may have stretched her stamina; a 3lb drop helps, but she still has something to prove. |
20/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden; has taken pretty well to hurdling this spring, making the frame at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good), but does not look obviously well treated for handicap debut. |
16/1 |
