Cracking The Newcastle AW Code

❖ Thurs Aug 21 2025

Newcastle AW Code Breaker

Evening meeting at Newcastle. The racecard is an ITV terrestrial TV free to air Racing League handicap only offering tonight ~ 7 hcp's from 7 races to go through. I will take a look at cracking the AW code with the ones with Mulrennan aboard.


Jockeys ❖ So, I am on Paul Mulrennan only today. Top jockey. 42 wins from 233 rides this season, a reasonable strike rate of 17% ~ not magnificent, but workable nonetheless.


Trainer ❖ It has to be the Jim Goldie yard. 19 wins from 117 runners this season at Newcastle.


Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Newcastle is non existent, so nothing to see there.

Newcastle Betting Analysis

6:15 Newcastle ❖ 12f C3 Hcp. Midnight Lion (16/1) is priced up as a bit of a no hoper. I am of the opinion he may well not be that far away at the end.

Conclusion: Plenty of talking horses in the race to worry about, but at the price, The Lion has some solid efforts to his name. With the aid of Mulrennan up top, he might just roar past them all.

#betting note: 35/1 is currently freely available on the exchanges.

6:15 Newc ~ Win Bet: 16/1 Midnight Lion (Unplaced 22/1)


7:45 Newcastle ❖ 5f C4 Hcp. Bonito Cavalo 12/1 is impossible to rule out now back on the AW circuit after some not so great runs on turf. I can also see very generous looking 12/1 odds on offer.

Conclusion: Bonito has some rock solid Newcastle AW form over the C&D, from today's mark of 80 by the way. Paul Mulrennan was aboard last time he won here 6 months back. Maybe he will be again.

#betting note: 25/1 is currently freely available on the exchanges.

7:45 Newc ~ Win Bet: 12/1 Bonito Cavalo (Unplaced 20/1)


8:45 Newcastle ❖ 6f C3 Hcp. Oriental Prince 12/1 is arguably running right at the top of his ability mark-wise (79) ~ but he's had a great season and he's only a 4yo, so who's to say he won't improve again now back at the scene of his best runs?

Conclusion: The Prince is a danger to them all if he carries on his upward projectory now running back on the AW. I'll take my chances at the double figure odds on offer.

#betting note: The 12/1 on offer at the bookies is matched on the exchanges. They are wary of this one it seems.

8:45 Newc ~ Win Bet: 12/1 Oriental Prince (4th 16/1)
