2nd 5 (17) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted for last three starts, winning on first occasion and good sixth in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); 16-1 for Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) six weeks ago but weakened right out of it in the last half-mile; that was his first race on firmer than good since start of career three years ago, so there's a big question mark about the ground. |

8th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground. |

6th 6 (15) |

Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |

Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

Won a valuable 2m handicap here in August 2024 (good); hasn't won since, but comes into this in good form (second over 2m on last two starts, with cheekpieces back on last time); no cheekpieces here but on a good mark and one with a chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |

Course winner but he's yet to hit top form this season and came in a never-dangerous third of five in 1m6f handicap at Thirsk 18 days ago; not easy to make a case for despite a falling mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Eight wins at up to 2m2f and he's versatile ground-wise; his last success was off 5lb higher at Catterick (1m4f) last autumn but he's been out of sorts this season and was tailed off at York last time; now drops back in grade but he needs a major revival. |
7/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Handles most surfaces and his eight wins include two here, latterly over 2m in 2024; last scored at Catterick (1m4f) off 3lb higher in October and after some lesser efforts this season he was much more competitive when third back there (1m6f) a fortnight ago; contender to step forward again and he's considered. |

Without a Flat win since September 2023, but is now 4lb lower than when third of 14 in a stronger race over C&D in April and drops into 0-70 company for the first time; much respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |

8st 13lb |
Won this race last year (good to firm) in good style and has a 1lb lower mark today; 2026 build-up has been far less auspicious than last season's, however, and the first-time visor of latest start is now replaced with a first-time tongue-tie. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |

Won here (2m, good to firm) in July but an 8lb rise signalled a reversal in his fortunes and he's beaten one horse in both starts this term; nothing wrong with this mark if the visor prompts a turnaround, though. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

8yo who has run 20 times at Newcastle (vastly more than any other track) and had two wins here plus six seconds; latest second was in the 2m Northumberland Vase on latest start, having also been placed at this track three times over 1m2f this year, so he is likely to serve up the same highly competitive show over today's 1m4f. |

2nd 18 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

8yo who has run 19 times at Newcastle (vastly more than any other track) and had two wins here plus five seconds; second in this race in 2022 and 12th in 2024; his most fruitful trip this year has been 1m2f but he won over 1m6f last November and was a C&D second last August; has a competitive mark too, for a stable in good form. |

3rd 6 (12) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Won three on the Flat for William Haggas; sold for 20,000gns to join this yard last October and scored on her second hurdles start at Kempton (2m good) in March; another good run when runner-up at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) the following month and should run her race. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected. |

Running away with a 2m2f race on heavy going under 7lb claimer at Nottingham last October was a clear career best at the time; virtually matched that form in three of his races in a mixed campaign this year and maybe an increased stamina test will help, but being 5lb out of the handicap won't. |
