8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |

Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |

Didn't really progress in four runs for William Haggas but she made a good start for new yard when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, Tapeta; 14-1) last month; showed a good attitude to seal the deal in that race and she's respected off 3lb higher here. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw. |

10st 8lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |

9th 11 (12) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer. |
13/2 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |

Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but had his favoured good ground when second over 2m4f here three weeks ago and the well-backed winner followed up in easy fashion at Ludlow; drops in trip but has a big shout off 1lb higher provided the rain stays away. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Fair Flat racer who showed some hurdling promise on good ground towards the end of last year; well beaten in both subsequent handicaps (good to soft/heavy) but may well fare better now back on a sound surface. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1m4f winner for previous yard; some promise in novice hurdles at Taunton (2m/2m3f) last month and he may have had stamina issues when upped to 3m on recent handicap debut; still early days in this sphere but he needs improvement back in trip and he's untried on heavy ground. |

Dual turf winner (1m/1m2f) for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland; runner-up to stablemate Enola Grey at Southwell in March but she's had only two runs since and has finished last of five in both of them; mark is sliding but she's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |
