2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked. |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap. |

1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Successful in this grade at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) and backed it up with a solid C&D second two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of the action once again. |

Veteran C&D scorer who slipped in the weights in the second half of last year and arrives in fine form; runner-up in 14-runner event here last month; merits serious consideration. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who won this race last year and returned to form with a creditable second over C&D (Woodleigh fifth) 11 days ago; has possibilities off unchanged mark and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Veteran who gained most recently success in C&D contest (off 5lb higher) last May on second start of his 2025 campaign; reasonably interesting returned to this scenario with Thirsk reappearance under his belt. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7; fifth of eight at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) earlier in the month but he was 12l behind Hashtagnotions at Beverley (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago; steps up in trip (out of a French 1m2f winner) on this return to AW. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dam won over 1m2f and he fared better for tackling this longer trip, in first-time cheekpieces, a fortnight ago; still to finish placed and will need another forward step if he's to get off the mark though. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose dam won over 1m2f and he's going beyond 7f for the first time today; cheekpieces are another possible source of improvement but he needs to take a major step forward from his two handicap runs. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who returned to form when third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and built on it to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; he should be fine on today's better ground and is respected up just 3lb. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners). |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

2-21 when trained in Ireland and scored again 16 days ago on fifth start for new yard, in clearcut style at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta; 25-1) after leading over 2f out; back up 5lb but he's returned to serious calculations. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Landed a brace at Ayr and Nottingham around 1m last October on heavy; still lightly raced and should be better for the run when tenth of 22 in amateurs' handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; one to keep an eye on. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Too early to pigeonhole her as a mudlark but her form did take off when faced with soft and heavy going last autumn, winning at Ayr and Nottingham (both around 1m); only sixth on good ground when last seen; likely she has more to offer this year but perhaps when underfoot conditions are more demanding. |
