2nd 9 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two 1m wins on AW this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; just respectable efforts in the meantime (slightly hampered at Bath recently) but she had excuses when last tried over 7f and might yet do better at this trip. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in March but she's been well held at Nottingham and Lingfield in her last two runs; has bit to prove again and she's now 0-8 on turf. |
25/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
In excellent form for her new yard on the AW this winter, scoring over C&D and at Kempton (1m); only ninth back on turf in 1m Nottingham handicap last time but no surprise to see her bounce back here. |

10th 8 (11) |
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. |
13/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims. |
20/1 |
|
5th 9 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 3-61 so thoroughly exposed but latest third in 1m Lingfield classified event is reasonable form for the level; each-way shout assuming a wide stall isn't too troublesome. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 3-60 so thoroughly exposed and has come up well short in three visits here since going close at the track in September; contested a classified race last time. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Remains capable of picking up occasional prize-money and hit the frame plenty of times last year; however, his losing sequence continues to grow. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 23 starts came at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in July 2023 for his previous yard; mostly struggled since joining this stable in 2024 but did shaped more encouragingly when fifth of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) 55 days ago; needs to build on that. |
33/1 |

5th 9 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

His sole win was in July 2023 and he's not finished closer than sixth in 13 runs since then; opposable. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Won at Wolverhampton for David O'Meara but 2-21 overall and these terms aren't favourable. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has raced mostly at up to 1m; back to form when third of ten in a 7f classified event here (first-time blinkers) in February but she's since run poorly at Lingfield; up against it at the weights. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden with a basement BHA mark of 37; ran surprisingly well when an 80-1 third in a 7f classified race four days but she looked a tricky ride in the new blinkers. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 and hard to make a case for on recent efforts, even at this level; blinkers now given a go. |
20/1 |
