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. |

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. |
9/1 |

Last 11 AW starts have come at Newcastle including three wins over this trip; well beaten in both visits here, though they were at the start of his career; Oisin Murphy is 6-29 (21%) for the stable in the last five years. |

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. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he was unfortunate not to finish closer when sixth over this C&D on his penultimate start; beaten a neck at Newcastle (6f, AW) three days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

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 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Only win was over C&D in March when wearing a visor for the first time; best run since when second at Redcar last week (5f, good to firm); chance. |
15/8 |

2nd 4 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-23 and her very best form has come on the AW, but she was only beaten just over 2l into fourth of 14 from 3lb higher at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate outing; possibilities if back to that sort of form. |
100/30 |

9th 6 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Running well since the visor went on, most recently keeping on for fourth at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to firm); each-way shout with a promising 7lb claimer enlisted. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Often slowly away and frequently fails to settle; however, he won here (6f, good to firm) last April and got back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February; good second at Newcastle (6f) last time; in good form at Newcastle in autumn 2024 when he last tackled 7f and he's in with a chance. |

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 |

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. |
