Newcastle 18:00 Odds Comparison

Topped off a remarkable winter when recording an eighth win of the campaign at Wolverhampton 4 days ago, seeing off another prolific rival. Penalty negated by return of 7-lb claimer and he's not taken lightly.

Hold-up performer who has won twice over C&D this year, overcoming a very slow start in 8-runner apprentice event 6 days ago. Needs to be delivered perfectly given his run style, but he gets to run off the same mark as last time.

Made the frame for 8 successive starts before taking advantage of his reduced mark at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, scoring by 3 lengths. 3 lb well-in under a penalty and can make a bold bid to follow up.

Yet to win a handicap but dropped to this level he was runner-up over 5f at Lingfield last month. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent outings, though seemed unsuited by step up to 7f when mid-field back at Lingfield a week ago.

C&D maiden winner in early 2025 and doubled his tally in handicap at Southwell in October. However, after an encouraging reappearance this year he's been below form over C&D last 2 starts.

Best effort for current yard when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) last month. However, added to his up and down profile when eighth of 11 over the same C&D 13 days ago. Tongue strap left off last time now reapplied for first try at 6f.

Successful over C&D on first of 2 victories last year and runner-up back here in December. Third at Southwell next time, though lesser effort when fifth of 10 at this course 6 weeks ago. Consistent enough on the whole so could bounce back.

Absent 12 months prior to this year and step back in the right direction when never-nearer fourth of 9 at Southwell (5f) in February. Had promised to be suited by step back up in trip but shaped as if amiss when well held over C&D last time.

Sole success came in novice company as a juvenile but placed twice in handicaps over C&D for current yard in September. Ended the year on a low-key note, though shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off here 15 days ago.
