Cracking The Newcastle AW Code

❖ Mon Sept 8 2025

Newcastle AW Code Breaker

The All Weather bandwagon rolls into Newcastle this evening with a 9 race card. There are 7 handicaps to be looked at.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am concentrating on is Paul Mulrennan (𝕏) who has a decent record at Newcastle on the AW.

---

❖ Trainer ❖ No particular trainer catches ny eye this evening. Possibly Michael Dods may be worth a look, at a push.

---

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

Newcastle Betting Analysis

4:39 Newcastle ❖ 1m 2f C5 Hcp ❖ Lechuga Lad (9/2) seems to have found his distance at 10f and looks like he can follow up his latest victory a couple of months ago.

4:39 Newc ~ Win Bet: 9/2 Lechuga Lad (Unp 15/2)

---

8:10 Newcastle ❖ 5f C6 Hcp ❖ Zuffalo (8/1) looks to have been given a good chance by the handicapper judging by his mark of 57. Mulrennan will be looking to win this, of that I have no doubt.

8:10 Newc ~ Win Bet: 8/1 Zuffalo

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code

❖ Mon Sept 8 2025

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Lingfield this afternoon is an 9 race card. The 7 handicaps will be my main focus. I will attempt to crack the Lingfield All Weather code in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am concentrating on today is top Irish born jockey Oisin Murphy who has a decent record at Lingfield.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's meeting.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ No draw bias at Lingfield worthy of note. You want decent jockeys at Lingfield, not an inside or outside draw etc.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ Check out all of Oisin Murphy's's handicap rides.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

Lingfield Betting Analysis

2:22 Lingfield ❖ 1m 4f C5 Fillies Hcp ❖ 3yo Saliko (6/5f) will go close under Murphy, but at around the even money mark, is not worth the investment, so I'll watch. 10yo As Fast As Wind at 8/1 is arguably the bet to take on the 3yo if you must play.

# No Bet.

---

2:52 Lingfield ❖ 5f C6 Hcp ❖ Recon Mission (5/2f) with Oisin Murphy on board for the first time over a C&D the horse enjoys, so is a fair dinkum favourite. He looks worth an interest.

2:52 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 5/2f Recon Mission (Unplaced 5/2)

---

3:22 Lingfield ❖ 1m C6 3yo Hcp ❖ Harryella (EVENS fav) won well last time up and has an 8lb rise to contend with. He looks able to overcome it, but at even money is not worth the risk.

# No Bet.

---

4:58 Lingfield ❖ 6f C6 Hcp ❖ Pheonix Moon (5/2f) found one too good over the C&D with Murphy aboard. He had the run of hte race that day and may well get done again. No play for me.

# No Bet.

5:29 Lingfield ❖ 8f C6 Hcp ❖ My Ambition (11/4f) even with Murphy aboard looks up against it to me. He needs to show some better All Weather form to be able to rightly command favouritism, even in a C6.

# No Bet.

Wolverhampton AW Code Breaker

I will be trying to crack the Wolverhampton AW code on this evening's 8 race card, which features novice fillies, a maiden and 6 handicaps, in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Low draw essential at Wolverhampton, pretty much every distance, one way or another.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ Today it's young jockey George Bass (𝕏) who has 4 handicap rides.

---

Wolverhampton Betting Analysis

7:12 Wolverhampton ❖ 8.5f C6 3yo Hcp ❖ Brave Guest (16/1) Nicely drawn in trap 3. Unbackable on anything he's shown on the race track on his 4 runs to date.

# No Bet.

---

7:42 Wolverhampton ❖ 2m C6 Hcp ❖ Rogue Justice (15/2) On a lowly mark, but has shown a modicum of ability. Big strapping type who looks to me like he'll need the full 2mile trip. Now upped to the marathon distance, and in a small field handicap, could well run past them at the death. At the price, I'll play to small stakes.

7:42 Wolv ~ Win Bet: 17/2 Rogue Justice (2nd 9/1)

---

8:12 Wolverhampton ❖ 9.5 C6 Hcp 3yo ❖ Zouligan (7/4f) not a great draw and is way to short in the market to back.

# No Bet.

---

8:42 Wolverhampton ❖ 8.5f C5 Hcp ❖ Volto Di Medusa (3/1) not well drawn. Also looks a bit short in the betting to warrant taking a chance on.

# No Bet.

Kempton AW Code Breaker

Kempton on the All Weather this saturday afternoon is a 7 race card. 2 group 3's, the September stakes and the Sirenia stakes ~ and 5 decent handicaps. I will attempt to crack the Kemp All Weather code in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ I am concentrating on top jockey Oisin Murphy (𝕏) for this All Weather meeting.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No trainer in particular catches my eye today.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Draw considerations come into play sharply at Kempton. I will be looking for a low draw (1~5) in all races up to a mile.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ If anything Oisin Murphy is on is well drawn, give it a close look on form.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

Kempton Betting Analysis

3:45 Kempton ❖ 6f C2 Hcp ❖ Drama (9/2) has a decent draw in trap 4. Likes it at Kempton and is sure to go well again now returning to the AW circuit.

3:45 Kempton ~ Win Bet: 9/2 Drama (Won 3/1)

Kempton Betting Analysis

5:47 Kempton ❖ 7f C4 2yo maiden ❖ Golden Conqueror (12/1) needed some kind of market support via the Varian stable followers to be of interest. The opposite has happened.

# No Bet.

---

6:17 Kempton ❖ 8f C4 2yo maiden ❖ Just A Gambler (9/2) goes from trap one and has received decent market support. I'll play to small stakes.

6:17 Kempton ~ Win Bet: 9/2 Just A Gambler (Unp 7/2)

---

7:47 Kempton ❖ 7f C4 Hcp ❖ Al Khawssaa (2/1f) is impossible to back with any confidence at 2/1f, even with an improved draw position she enjoys this time out

# No Bet.

---

8:17 Kempton ❖ 6f C5 Hcp ❖ Starproof (17/2) is not handily drawn and could well beat that imposition, but she's not for me.

# No Bet.

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code

❖ Thursday Sept 4 2025

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Lingfield this evening is an 8 race card. The 6 handicaps will be my main focus. I will attempt to crack the Lingfield All Weather code in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am concentrating on today is apprentice jockey and 7lb claimer Jack Callan (𝕏) ~ son of Neil Callan. Jack has a decent record at Lingfield and is worth noting with his claim, that's for sure. I presume he has picked his dad's brains how to ride the track.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's meeting.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ No draw bias at Lingfield worthy of note. You want decent jockeys at Lingfield, not an inside or outside draw etc.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ Check out all of Jack Mitchell's handicap rides.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

Lingfield Betting Analysis

3:40 Lingfield ❖ 1m 4f C4 Hcp ❖ Sibling Rivelry (5/1) Hat trick seeker who looks like the winner to me and she has drifted to a very generous looking 5/1 from an overnight 5/2.

3:40 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 5/1 Sibling Rivelry (Unp 13/2)

---

4:10 Lingfield ❖ 2m C6 Hcp ❖ Smith (28/1) will run his race but is up against what looks like a nailed on capper who has an arguable 5lb advantage.

# No Bet.

4:43 Lingfield ❖ 1m 2f C6 Hcp ❖ Birthday Angel (10/3) doesn't look too convincing to me.

6:20 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 6/1 Jumbeau (3rd 8/1)

Southwell AW Code Breaker

My attempt to crack the AW code at Southwell on this afternoon's 8 race card that features 6 handicaps and 2 maiden's races, in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ No particular jockey catches my eye today.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ Trainer James Owen has sent one horse to Southwell. I'll take a look at that one.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Southwell is non existent. Back who you like wherever they're drawn. If backing any front runners, pay close attention to whether they'll actually get home up the slightly uphill 1.5f finish.

---

Southwell Betting Analysis

5:35 Southwell ❖ 1m C6 Hcp ❖ Beautiful Dawn (6/1) is James Owen's sole representative today at Southwell, which could prove to be a tip unto itself.

Conclusion: The horse was rated 30lb higher in Ireland, but no one has found the key to him yet. James Owen will do sooner or later. At the price on offer in a lowly handicap, now returned to an AW surface, I'll play.

5:35 South ~ Win Bet: 6/1 Beautiful Dawn (Unplaced 10/3f from 6's)

---

Kempton AW Code Breaker

Kempton on the All Weather this evening is a 7 race card. 4 stakes and 3 handicaps in total. I will attempt to crack the Kemp All Weather code in as few words as possible.

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockeys I am concentrating on today: 1st is top jockey Oisin Murphy (𝕏) and the 2nd is top youngster Billy Loughnane (𝕏).

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No trainer in particular catches my eye today.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Draw considerations come into play sharply at Kempton. I will be looking for a low draw (1~5) in all races up to a mile.

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ If anything Murphy is on is well drawn, give it a close look on form.

Kempton Betting Analysis

8:30 Kempton ❖ 7f C4 3yo Hcp ❖ Apache Green (15/2) is nicely drawn and will ~ I suspect ~ take all the beating. A reproduction of his run 2 races back will take this. I expect Billy Loughnane to make all the difference with a robust ride from a decent position on the inside from about 3 out.

8:30 Kempton ~ Win Bet: 15/2 Apache Green (Unp 5/1)

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Lingfield this afternoon is a bumper 9 race card. The 5 handicaps will be my focus. I will attempt to crack the Lingfield All Weather code in as few words as possible.

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am concentrating on today is the promising Jack Mitchell (𝕏) who has previously ridden a 4 timer at Salisbury.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's meeting.

❖ Draw Bias ❖ No draw bias at Lingfield worthy of note. You want decent jockeys at Lingfield, not an inside or outside draw etc.

---

Lingfield Betting Analysis

1:35 Lingfield ❖ 1m 4f C6 3yo Hcp ❖ Filligris (20/1) Unplaced in all four starts to date. Little reason to back him from what's been seen as yet, even at 20/1.

# No Bet

---

2:35 Lingfield ❖ 1m 2f C5 Hcp ❖ Photon (14/1) has shown a bit of promise previously. Clearly needed the run after a break. Down to a winnable mark. Jack Mitchell may run prominently, or engage in a hold up ride.

Intriguing race. I'll take my chances at the price. I make him arguably about a 7/1 chance judging by the rest of the field.

2:35 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 14/1 Photon (Unplaced 28/1)

---

5:05 Lingfield ❖ 8f C5 Hcp ❖ Due West (8/11f) is way too short for a handicap and in my estimation he's not nailed on either.

# No Bet.

---

5:35 Lingfield ❖ 6f C5 3yo Hcp ❖ Ironist (6/1) drops back to 6f and could lead this out from pillar to post to break her maiden tag. The 6/1 on offer in this 6 horse race is a reasonable betting proposition.

7:25 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 6/1 Ironist (3rd 9/2)

---

Southwell AW Code Breaker

My attempt to crack the AW code at Southwell on this evening's 8 race card that features 6 handicaps and 2 stakes races, in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ I'll be focusing on the horses ridden by Hector Crouch (𝕏).

---

❖ Trainers ❖ Bit of a mixed line up. Probably due to the other card this evening is also an AW meeting (Wolverhampton) ~ so I'll not focus on trainers for this racecard.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Southwell is non existent. Back who you like wherever they're drawn. If backing any front runners, pay close attention to whether they'll actually get home up the slightly uphill 1.5f finish.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• Anything ridden by Hector Crouch
• Solid Southwell C&D form may be a good pointer this evening
• I will be focusing on handicaps only

• 2 Sep 2025 7:30 Southwell Handicap 1m Ralph Beckett RUN WITH IT
• 2 Sep 2025 8:00 Southwell Handicap 6f James Tait STANLEY SPENCER ✅

---

Southwell Betting Analysis

7:00 Southwell ❖ 1m C4 Fillies Hcp ❖ Annsar (12/1) is upped in trip for today's run.

Conclusion: The 12/1 on offer is understandable as she's an unknown quantity at the level over the trip. I think her running style could suit the extra furlong. I'll take the plunge at the odds on offer she can surprise the field.

7:00 South ~ Win Bet: 12/1 Annsar (Unplaced 12/1)

---

7:30 Southwell ❖ 1m C4 Hcp ❖ 5/2fav Run With It won well last time out at Wolverhampton over an extra half a furlong

Conclusion: Run With It (5/2f) may well win, but he's upped in grade and has 4lb extra to carry. At the price I'll watch.

# No Bet.

---

8:00 Southwell ❖ 6f C4 Hcp ❖ Stanley Spencer (7/1) run over the C&D in february will put him right up there if he repeats it.

Conclusion: Stanley Spencer (7/1) under Hector Crouch could well improve the 3/4l he needs to win this outright. He also carries a 1lb less, which could possibly make all the difference in a close race. At the price on offer, I'll chance it.

8:00 South ~ Win Bet: 7/1 Stanley Spencer (Won 11/2)
