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. |

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. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Multiple course winner, the latest in February (1m) off a 1lb higher mark; second run back from a break was better than the first but he still finished behind a couple of today's rivals. |

4th 9 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Bagged a fourth C&D success in February; off since a below-par seventh over C&D in March though so needs to hit the ground running. |

Five wins on AW but 0-25 on turf; beaten in a classified event at Ayr when last seen and others are more appealing. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; will appreciate this ease in grade but has been out of form since returning from a break in June; needs to turn things around. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Prolific on AW but won twice on turf in his youth; latest Carlisle fourth wasn't a bad run but this race demands more. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |
16/1 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 5f AW event off 6lb lower in February and there was no disgrace in chasing home a Hamilton legend at that track (6f, good to firm) in returning blinkers (retained) nine days ago; he is another that cannot be discounted. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Belatedly opened account at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and has largely remained in good form since, albeit he was a shade disappointing when only sixth of ten at Ripon (6f, good; favourite) three weeks ago; can make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made the breakthrough at Newcastle (5f) in February and fairly consistent since; couldn't master Yes I'm Mali over C&D (runner-up; 18-1) on penultimate start and boxed on from further back (fourth) at Beverley subsequently; a possible. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Out of the frame in eight completed starts but shaped as though worth a go over this far when fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) last time; a couple of winners have come out of that race and he drops in grade; worth a second look. |
8/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Unplaced in all eight starts; edging down the weights and now tries a new trip with headgear reinstated; not a solid option. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive filly who's turned in a string of ordinary efforts this year and now has a first-time tongue-tie added to her regular cheekpieces; the fact her peak RPRs have been achieved on Tapeta offers some hope for this return to AW but a leap of faith is needed. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Regressive filly who's turned in a string of ordinary efforts this year, latterly in cheekpieces; the handicapper's easing off in chunks but she's hard to recommend anyway. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Improved to cause 25-1 surprise in C&D (good) novice last month, her fourth start over hurdles, but the value of that form is open to question (market principals disappointed) and her opening handicap mark probably demands further progress. |
8/1 |
