Surgeon Commander^b⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 60

4/1

Enhanced excellent Newcastle record when gaining third win (all 7f) in June, driven out. Off since but 3 lb rise looks perfectly fair and he should be as effective over 6f.

Taaklam^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 60

10/3

Fair maiden. Placed in all-weather handicaps on his first two runs for this yard but unable to continue the good work since, albeit he wasn't seen to best effect at Ayr.

Form: 3-32576

Harlequin Bay⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

14/1

Runner-up twice at Newcastle late last year. Yet to come close to that in 2026 and hopes rest on return to the all-weather.

Form: 22-3005

Masai Angel²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Russell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

14/1

Minor promise only in 5-race career but he has a better draw to work with than at Ayr last time.

Form: 5-4300

Rogue Federation³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle| T: K Frost| OR: 58

22/1

Didn't show much in a couple of starts for James Owen and sold for 1,000gns, he didn't show much more in his final qualifying run. Back over 6f for handicap debut.

Form: 508

Based³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Knight| OR: 56

3/1

Found plenty to get off the mark over 7f at Wolverhampton in June. Shaped quite well on his last 2 starts and he can be a factor again, for all the drop to 6f isn't an obvious move.

Soul Warrior^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 55| D

17/2

Surprise winner (40/1) of 6f Redcar nursery last September. Yet to really kick on in 2026 so a visor needs to perk him up.

Form: 1-80358

Great Success^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 54

25/1

Fair 3-y-o maiden who ran poorly on final outing for Richard and Peter Fahey in July. Subsequently sold for 3,500 gns and little short-term promise for new yard over C&D 2 weeks ago. Blinkers employed.

Form: 005450

Golden Harvest³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 54

14/1

Still doesn't look the finished article after 4 starts but made a reasonable fist of handicap debut when third over 5f here 39 days ago. Return to 6f will suit and he has a bigger performance in him.

Form: 0953

Zonnebloem³¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 54

33/1

Didn't show a lot for a couple of contrasting yards in 2025. Off 10 months ahead of this handicap debut upped to 6f.

Lope Y Linda⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53

12/1

Free-going type who's won twice around 7f at Ayr/Catterick this year. Ran her best race returned to sprinting at Thirsk (6f) at the beginning of the month and latest Redcar run easy to draw a line through.

Form: 124430

Society Charm¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 52

14/1

Qualifying runs over 7f during the spring weren't devoid of promise. Potential improver now handicapping back from a break so one to monitor in the market.

Forecasts

Based (3/1), Taaklam (10/3), Yes Waliim (10/3), Surgeon Commander (4/1), Soul Warrior (17/2), Lope Y Linda (12/1), Love Alive (12/1), Society Charm (14/1), Golden Harvest (14/1), Harlequin Bay (14/1), Masai Angel (14/1), Rogue Federation (22/1), Great Success (25/1), Zonnebloem (33/1)

SURGEON COMMANDER was better than ever when recording his third win at Newcastle in June and with the return to 6f not expected to pose a problem, he may prove too streetwise for these. Yes Waliim is an obvious threat, with Society Charm the potential improver in the line up.
