	Win	Place
AntrimPierre-Louis Jamin - K R Burke5731	11/10	11/10
Best form when cheekpieces were installed on last two starts, winning comfortably from the front in a C&D novice on latest after four months off (had been gelded), left the Gosdens for 130,000gns two weeks later and has had just four races, so should be open to improvement.
Sea LegendLauren Young (5) - J S Goldie795872	5/1	5/1
0-11 for current yard, bleeding from the nose on penultimate start, has become attractively handicapped, however, and made eyecatching headway from the rear when C&D second under Lauren Young 13 days ago, comfortably his best show this autumn, each-way contender.
Jodhpur BlueBilly Loughnane - Ian Williams870038	6/1	6/1
Won a 7f Newcastle maiden last October, handicaps have been a major struggle, the one exception when third of 14 from off the pace at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in October, 7f was probably a negative back on his markedly higher AW mark two weeks ago, so he's not entirely dismissed.
Jez BombS A Gray - S England132212	13/2	13/2
4-9 on AW, the latest win over C&D in tidy style in late October, 6lb higher today but his fine sequence continued with a close call over C&D last week and he again has leading claims.
Pride Of DonegalCieren Fallon - C Johnston3-4210	8/1	8/1
Beaten a neck in C&D maiden in September and won handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in October, needs to bounce back from a Kempton flop five weeks ago but he's interesting on the earlier evidence.
AlmekaremL Morris - Sir Mark Prescott531093	8/1	8/1
Won a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, AW) in September, contested three handicaps since, easily best of those results when back on Tapeta for third of ten at Southwell (1m) latest, that strong finish and dam's side of the pedigree offer major encouragement for 1m2f, so he's one to note.
Humble SparkP Mulrennan - J S Goldie147320	18/1	18/1
Down the field in the Northumberland Vase here (2m) in June when last seen, has a bit to prove returning from that break but he's a four-time winner at Newcastle, including over 1m2f last Christmas.
Pleasant ManAndrea Pinna (7) - Joey Ramsden215559	50/1	50/1
Five wins in all but the only one on AW was over 1m6f at Southwell in January, well held in four runs for two different trainers since and he's unraced over this short a trip since February 2024.

Newcastle [5th Dec 15:45]

	Win	Place
Lake ComoBilly Loughnane - G Boughey882	4/6	4/6
Looked in need of the experience on his first two outings (debut for Aidan O'Brien) but he took a big step forward when second of ten in 7f Lingfield maiden 15 days ago, finishing well having been short of room over 1f out, this son of St Mark's Basilica is a player with better to come.
Euston HallK Shoemark - E Walker4	9/4	9/4
5-2, shaped with promise when fourth of nine in 7f Kempton novice on his debut 30 days ago, this son of Dark Angel can take a step forward now so is well in the mix.
King's EnglishCieren Fallon - W J HaggasFirst Race	11/2	11/2
75,000euros yearling, son of Sioux Nation who is closely related to 7.7f winner Native Queen (RPR 87) and half-brother to three other winners, notably Isotope (8.4f/1m2f Flat, RPR 87), dam 1m2f-1m4f Flat (RPR 100) and 2m hurdle winner, interesting newcomer for top yard.
Victory AceT Eaves - J Butler67	11/1	11/1
Twice-raced Zoustar colt who didn't enjoy the rub of the green from a wide draw when seventh of 11 in 7f Lingfield novice in September for Roger Varian, has since changed hands for 40,000guineas so needs considering for his new yard.
Highland ShahRowan Scott - Miss J A CamachoFirst Race	25/1	25/1
20,000eruos yearling, half-brother to seven winners, notably High As A Kite (French/Scandinavian 1m-11.5f including Swedish 1,000 Guineas/Norsk Derby) and London Protocol (6.5f-1m AW, RPR 101), dam French maiden, this son of Persian King needs considering.
What Fools BelieveBarry McHugh - I Furtado6	125/1	125/1
33-1, beat just one in C&D novice on her first run 13 days ago, this daughter of Zoustar needs to take a big step forward.
Crown Inn To WinJordan Nason (3) - I Furtado89	150/1	150/1
Has cut little ice in a 1m Southwell maiden and 6f novice there this autumn, lots more is needed.
Petes DiamondAndrea Pinna (7) - Joey Ramsden7	150/1	150/1
50-1 and green when a never-dangerous seventh of nine in 5f Southwell novice on his debut 15 days ago, this Dream Ahead colt can build on it here.

Newcastle [5th Dec 16:15]

	Win	Place
JackabiRyan Kavanagh (5) - Ian Williams6572	5/4	5/4
Raised his game when a keeping-on second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, 12-1, in a first-time hood) four weeks ago, slight surprise to see that headgear discarded but, with that form franked, must enter calculations from an unchanged mark.
Up The AgendaBilly Loughnane - Jack Morland744101	9/4	9/4
Justified favouritism on AW debut in a modest four-runner nursery here (6f) on Tuesday, carries a 6lb penalty for that, and shouldn't be troubled by stepping back up in distance (is already a 7f turf winner), merits plenty of respect.
Senor CampanaroK Shoemark - E Walker7495	9/4	9/4
Slow starts were an issue in two of his first three runs, and he failed to make an impact on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, fifth of eight) in October, gelded since, which offers hope that there could be better to come from this 70,000gns yearling.
SmartanckCam Hardie - A Brittain74513	10/3	10/3
Improvement for the switch to nurseries, winning at Wolverhampton (7f, from a 6lb lower mark) before finishing third over C&D the following week, has since left Richard Hughes for 12,000gns, and makes stable debut in a newly applied tongue-tie, noteworthy.
Panthere NoirT Eaves - L Russell & M Scudamore443375	8/1	8/1
Better when third at Musselburgh (7f, good, first-time cheekpieces) in September but has twice disappointed since, including on AW debut here (1m, weakened into fifth) 18 days ago, dropping back to 7f is helpful but still the least likely of this quintet.

Newcastle [5th Dec 16:45]

	Win	Place
EldrickjonesWarren Fentiman (5) - Roger Fell290974	10/3	10/3
Hinted at a revival when fourth of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D 17 days ago, this three-time C&D scorer is a likely player off a 1lb lower mark.
Midnight LionP Mulrennan - J S Goldie001561	9/2	9/2
Course specialist who notched his seventh success here over C&D 17 days ago, he's not taken lightly despite a 3lb weights rise.
Al MuqdadMark Winn - D O'Meara428218	11/2	11/2
Ended a losing run in good style at Wolverhampton (7f) in November and drawn wide (also change of headgear) when eighth there 11 days ago, this C&D winner still needs considering.
Mr MistoffeleesT Eaves - S England255412	11/2	11/2
Blinkered and right back to his best of late, scoring over 1m here before runner-up in 1m Southwell handicap two weeks ago when going sweetly for a long way, up 4lb but he merits serious consideration back to 7f.
BenacreBilly Loughnane - C Johnston612340	10/1	10/1
C&D scorer who was in good form until beating just one over C&D 17 days ago, he's the type to get back on track quickly though.
JudicatureBarry McHugh - J Parkinson & S Smith51975	10/1	10/1
Low-mileage sort who got off the mark over 6f here in August, best effort in three handicaps since when fifth here (6f) 13 days ago so he's no forlorn hope off a slipping mark.
QazaqD C Costello - I Jardine-66077	11/1	11/1
Largely below par for Roger Varian this season and he came in only seventh of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D for his new handler 17 days ago, needs to take a big step forward.
Havana BlueRowan Scott - Miss J A Camacho-67005	11/1	11/1
Winless in 2025 but he got back on track after a wind op when fifth of 11 to Midnight Lion over C&D 17 days ago, one for the shortlist.
TolstoyBen Robinson - B Ellison895070	12/1	12/1
On a losing sequence and only 12th in 7f Doncaster handicap 27 days ago, this course winner has a bit to prove now.
MonotoneCam Hardie - A Brittain437000	14/1	14/1
Ended his time with Jim Bolger out of sorts and he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f York handicap in July, subsequent breathing surgery needs to spark a resurgence.
Blazing SonOliver Carmichael (7) - B Smart933130	14/1	14/1
Scored over C&D in September and run best ignored (poorly drawn) when 18th in 7f Doncaster handicap last month, possibilities.

Newcastle [5th Dec 17:15]

	Win	Place
Brave TravellerK Shoemark - B Smart4362	11/4	11/4
Lope Y Fernandez colt who took a big step forward on his nursery debut when second of six over 5f here 11 days ago, a likely player back up to 6f off an unchanged mark.
CopperfieldRowan Scott - Miss J A Camacho856	3/1	3/1
Son of Iffraaj has been brought along steadily, fitted with a hood when a never-dangerous sixth of 15 in 6f Thirsk maiden in August, since gelded and he needs considering now handicapping.
King VictoriousBilly Loughnane - G Boughey99462	10/3	10/3
Starman gelding who was hooded when advancing his form with a strong-finishing second of nine in 6f Wolverhampton nursery 13 days ago, big shout nudged up 1lb with headgear again sported.
SunnivaBarry McHugh - B EllisonP0363	7/1	7/1
Hung left but took a step forward on her first go in nurseries when third of seven at Southwell (7f) in August, she's not ruled out off the same mark after a break.
Mademoiselle BelleBen Robinson - B Ellison930533	9/1	9/1
Coulsty filly who posted her best effort when a staying-on third of six in 5f nursery here 11 days ago, this return to 6f promises to suit so she's well in the mix.
Mystical LandMark Winn - M Dods306	11/1	11/1
Son of Dream Ahead, wasn't disgraced in first-time blinkers when sixth in C&D novice 13 days ago, possibilities now handicapping with headgear again fitted.
Master HarryP Mulrennan - Mrs A Duffield003256	14/1	14/1
Enters calculations on the form of his 5f Catterick nursery second in October but he's been below par twice since, beating just one in 5f nursery here 13 days ago, tongue-tie is reached for now with a bit to prove.
Surgeon CommanderT Eaves - Craig Lidster678	14/1	14/1
Has cut little ice in a trio of 6f novices, beating only one at Thirsk in July, since gelded and this son of Cotai Glory returns from a break for his nursery debut with more needed.
Liverpool StarLewis Chalkley (7) - M & D Easterby97538	28/1	28/1
Posted a good third on his nursery debut at Thirsk (5f) in July but he came in last of eight in similar company at Windsor (7f) 95 days ago, has his first go on Tapeta with improvement required.

Newcastle [5th Dec 17:45]

	Win	Place
TeardropsGeorge Wood - R Spencer089631	13/8	13/8
From very modest beginnings, he's begun to show more on his last two starts, going close over C&D before returning six days later to score here decisively (tongue-tie and first-time blinkers) latest, 6lb penalty for that may not be sufficient to to prevent a successful follow-up.
Spun To GoldP Mulrennan - J S Goldie466111	3/1	3/1
6f & 7f AW winner, in tremendous form, having completed a hat-trick, including two C&D wins, got up the last stride to score latest, for which his mark is unchanged, big player again.
Superior CouncilCara Tuke (7) - I Jardine753251	13/2	13/2
2-33, including a first AW win when making all over C&D last month, 2lb rise for that looks fair and he now has to prove he can back up what was his best effort for more than three years.
Mister Sky BlueRowan Scott - G Tutty383442	8/1	8/1
6f turf winner, has had a reasonably consistent year, showing signs he is coming over a slight dip in fortunes when a close second over C&D latest, not ruled out from same mark.
Angel Of EnglandT Eaves - A D Brown287000	10/1	11/1
6f turf winner who is well treated on his form from last winter, has beaten just two opponents home across his last three starts, blinkers go back on, he drops in grade and he does act here, so keep an eye on the market for any renewed confidence.
Roaring RalphSean Kirrane - M Dods570697	10/1	10/1
Dual 7f Tapeta winner, well treated on his better efforts, a couple of which came over C&D earlier in the year, well below that level recently, including behind Spun To Gold here latest, another in need of a revival.
Classy ClaretsA Mullen - I Jardine207996	14/1	14/1
5f and 7f Tapeta winner, 1lb lower than when overcoming a poor start to win at Wolverhampton in May, went close to following up at Lingfield (7f, good) next time, well below that level since, has since changed hands, revival needed.
Nimble NasherElle-May Croot (5) - I Furtado70-487	16/1	16/1
Showed some promise on his third start in a Doncaster novice event (6f, good) in July, still early days in handicaps but probably in need of further favours from the handicapper to see him get truly competitive.
Fircombe HallWarren Fentiman (5) - P A Kirby385450	20/1	20/1
Six-time C&D winner who is well treated on his better efforts but has been unable to produce those for much of this year, a revival would not be a huge surprise from this basement mark but he does have it to do.
OkamiBarry McHugh - P T Midgley-57970	25/1	25/1
Triple winner over 6f-7f on Polytrack, poor form on his last three starts, finishing last in his two attempts for Gary and Josh Moore, big revival needed on first start for this trainer.
RooskaOliver Stammers - Grant Tuer8/8-4237	SP	SP
0-13, went close here over 7f in March, when on the same BHA mark, below that level in two subsequent starts, the latest here (7f) after a break, back again in trip, more needed.

Newcastle [5th Dec 18:15]

	Win	Place
True PromiseO McSweeney - Fionn McSharry004522	3/1	3/1
5f, 6f and 7f course winner, went close at Southwell on his last two starts for Kevin Ryan, whom he has since left for £13,000, up 2lb for this debut for an in-form trainer, player.
Lovat ScoutPierre-Louis Jamin - K R Burke6-5718	4/1	4/1
6f turf and 5f Tapeta winner, the latter at Southwell on his penultimate start (2lb lower, all out), escaped a penalty but was some way below that level over C&D latest, more needed.
AlondraMikkel Mortensen (5) - S Dixon324053	9/2	9/2
5f Tapeta winner when with Charles Hills, for whom she bettered that form on several occasions on turf, changed hands for 14,000gns since latest third, from this mark, at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta), should be involved under 5lb claimer.
Dandy DinmontFaye McManoman - N Tinkler143332	9/2	9/2
C&D winner, has been consistent in defeat on his last three starts, the latest when hampered at the start and a beaten favourite over C&D, same mark, sports headgear for the first-time and should again be a player.
Brazilian BelleSean Kirrane - M Dods358354	6/1	6/1
Twice a 5f turf winner on soft, beaten over 2l over C&D on her first AW start latest, drops 1lb for that, not written off.
Jm JhingreeP Mulrennan - J S Goldie601484	11/1	11/1
Triple 5f turf winner on good or slower (RPR 77), handicapper looks to have had his measure since his Hamilton win in September, back on a competitive mark for this AW debut (dam won on AW in France), each-way potential.
Winter CrownBilly Garritty - L Bailey767140	12/1	12/1
5f and 6f course winner, the latter when 33-1 last month, backed that up with a good effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) but ran no sort of race at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) latest, player if he can bounce back.
Our Absent FriendsRowan Scott - T Davidson018434	14/1	14/1
Both his AW wins have come over C&D, back on the same mark as his most recent turf win, at Redcar in September, below that level since, including when weakening out of a 0-70 here latest, having led them into the final furlong, drops 1lb, each-way player.
Glory FighterMark Winn - P T Midgley726100	18/1	18/1
Prolific turf winner who is 0-8 on AW (has gone close over C&D), below par on his last two turf starts and has since had a break, each-way possible.

Newcastle [5th Dec 18:45]

	Win	Place
CastanK Shoemark - B Smart776405	3/1	3/1
Four-time C&D winner who usually races prominently, was a little slow to go before failing to settle here latest, still on his last winning mark, so dangerous to write him off.
Orbital ChimeKaiya Fraser - K Scott806721	3/1	3/1
6f turf winner who has improved of late on AW, went close over C&D before scoring comfortably at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) latest, on that evidence, he remains well treated after a 3lb rise, big player.
Showtime MahomesOliver Stammers - Grant Tuer465479	6/1	6/1
Multiple turf and 6f Tapeta winner, often held up, back on his last winning mark after recently going off the boil here in two 6f starts, bit to prove dropping back to this trip.
Dark KestrelCam Hardie - A Brittain491404	13/2	6/1
Dual C&D winner, the latter in October, when 3lb lower and supported, was again the subject of support here latest, when 1lb higher and under 2l fourth, each-way player.
GaneshaRowan Scott - Phillip Makin543304	13/2	13/2
Dual C&D winner, the more recent in March when 5lb higher, has been some way below that level of form in all starts since, more needed to end a nine-race losing run.
Darlo PrideRhys Elliott (5) - M Dods462439	8/1	8/1
C&D winner, went close from this mark over C&D on his penultimate start, in March, not seen since later that month, has yet to win when fresh but other than that, with 5lb claimed by Rhys Elliott, he is not ruled out.
Brave EmpireGeorge Wood - I Furtado447093	9/1	9/1
6f winner on turf and Polytrack, lost his way on turf during the summer and there was no immediate revival on his return from wind surgery in a Leicester claimer (7f, soft) in October, well treated on his best efforts, cheekpieces go on, bit to prove, not least over this trip.
Hover On The WindBarry McHugh - P T Midgley505448	14/1	14/1
5f and 6f turf winner, placed once (7f, Polytrack) in five AW starts, back from a break and could be competitive from this mark, if acting here.
HowzakBilly Garritty - L Bailey310-08	33/1	33/1
Multiple 5f-6f Polytrack winner who also scored here (6f) last year, form tailed off last winter and hasn't raced since January, on a competitive mark if ready for this reappearance but usually needs it.
