6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |

1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won three 6f handicaps at Newcastle over the winter when trained by Richard Spencer; two heavy defeats since joining this yard and risky, for all he's dropping in class this time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only one of his ten wins has been on turf (record of 1-27); beaten less than 2l when fifth of 12 at Redcar on most recent turf run, but poor effort back on AW next time; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Has been running well on the AW but that's more his thing, the scene of nine of his ten wins; could still have a part to play. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Five-time winner over 6f-1m2f here, the latest from 3lb lower over 7f in January; capable of playing a part if this sets up for his closing style. |
13/2 |

5th 7 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Versatile sort; narrowly beat Ardaddy at Newcastle (7f) in January; creditable fourth at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latest a smooth success in a 0-55 handicap 18 days ago; makes debut for her new stable off a 6lb higher mark with blinkers replacing other forms of headgear; below par in one run on ground slower than good. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unplaced elsewhere on final three starts for Ben Haslam but wasn't running badly and three out of his last four wins have come at this venue; on a career-low mark and could play a leading role back here in a first-time tongue-tie on his stable debut. |
13/2 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three of his four wins on the AW have been at Newcastle, the most recent in a classified event in February; runner-up there in first-time cheekpieces in March but ran below his best at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

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

6th 9 (2) |
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. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

Six-race maiden; shown precious little since wind surgery, toiling over 7f here (40-1) 11 days ago; a most unlikely candidate. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Second run, which came here over 6f, was better than her first but she was last of six over this C&D two weeks ago; makes her handicap debut with better needed. |

Ex James Ferguson; massive prices and has failed to beat a rival in two starts (7f) for this trainer; nigh impossible to consider. |

|
4th 5 (2) |
29th May 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
80-1, slowly away and always in rear on sole start at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last November; she's a half-sister to 5f/6f winner Stay Smart (RPR 81) and is one to watch in the betting on this second start, but she has to leave that initial form well behind; tongue-tie left off. |
