28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
8st 7lb |
No win since 1m2f Newbury success two years ago; form this spring poor; handicapper quick to drop him but no improvement; cheekpieces now tried. |

No win since 1m2f Newbury win in May 2024; form this spring poor but handicapper quick to drop him and jockey booking looks positive. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr. |
9/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way in the autumn; has dropped to a favourable mark as a result (went close off 5lb higher last autumn) but a losing run of 21 doesn't inspire confidence; first start for 140 days. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for. |
20/1 |
|
5th 10 (4) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner over 1m2f on good to firm in 2024 but no impact in 2025; didn't really take to hurdling and left Susan Corbett for £5,000 in December; hood and tongue-tie are removed on this debut for new yard. |

11lb lower than when second of 11 over C&D a year ago, but losing run is now up to 16 so doubts remain. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Last win was at Doncaster (1m2f) in June 2023 but that was off 4lb higher; mixed record in just four runs this season but he ran respectably at Doncaster last time and could be in the mix if he can build on that. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Went back-to-back (1m2f/1m3f on a sound surface) for Charlie Johnston last spring and is now 8lb below the latter winning mark after some lesser efforts for that yard; picked up for 1,000gns in October and is another to keep an eye on in the betting on this stable debut. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in the spring and now 7lb lower than for the second of them (1m3f, good to firm); little to shout about since May, however, and he needs the drop in class to revive his fortunes. |

7th 2 (8) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time Newcastle winner who made the breakthrough on turf at Haydock (1m3f, good) last July; acquitted herself respectably in Class 2 contests at York (fifth) and Doncaster (seventh) last autumn, but her form has tapered off; fast easing handicap mark. |
33/1 |

11th 8 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive for cheekpieces going on early last year, with three course wins, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; again goes without the headgear back from six months off and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who has won at this track but who is better known for his exploits at Ayr; solid third at that track 16 days ago (1m1f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away if backing it up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who has won 11 times here, including three last year (1m2f/1m5f); on a good mark and should come on for his run at Musselburgh last week; contender. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 12.5f) and offered little back over 1m at Newcastle in early December. |
33/1 |
|
7 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in August; ran okay when third over C&D (soft) nine days ago but was no match for the first two (including Cisco Disco); needs something extra. |
