TrackLab Insight
Angel Of England is the only horse in this field that has won at Class 2 level, but that was nearly two years ago and she's back here struggling in Class 6 — a sign of how far she's fallen. She's never raced on slow ground, runs again just six days after finishing 6th at this same track, and has won only once in 30 races; the combination of inexperience with these conditions, quick turnaround, and poor recent form makes her a tough sell despite the editorial angle.

TrackLab Insight
This eight-year-old is the most experienced horse in the field by a distance (94 races) and carries the lowest weight, but he's also the lowest-rated runner and hasn't won in years. His one genuine edge is a 43% win rate on this exact ground (slow/standard-to-slow), but he's won only 6 times in 94 races overall — that's just 1 win per 16 races — and recent form shows he's struggling at the sharp end of races.

TrackLab Insight
Kitaab has an excellent 11% win rate on standard ground and wins specifically at this six-furlong trip (2 from 15), making him one of the few genuine course-and-distance specialists here. However, he has zero wins on standard-to-slow ground from three attempts, which is a critical vulnerability on today's slow surface; the recent 7th-place finish at Chester, beaten 14 lengths, also suggests current form is slipping.
Best record at this trip (2 from 15)
TrackLab Insight
Uncle Sam is the market favourite at 6.0 despite having won only once in 17 races and never racing on slow ground, making him perhaps the most over-priced runner here. His only win came on standard ground at Southwell, his recent record shows a 6th-place finish, and he's yet to win at Thirsk where he's raced five times — there's limited evidence for the short odds beyond market momentum.

Market favourite (6.0)
TrackLab Insight
Desert Master has never won at Newcastle in 15 attempts despite winning twice on the all-weather elsewhere, so this Newcastle surface on slow ground offers little hope. He's shown recent form with two 4th-place finishes, but both were at conventional turf tracks; there's no evidence he translates well to artificial surfaces, and the data suggests he's a Southwell specialist rather than a Newcastle threat.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
Trainer Quotes
Apr 2023
"Another who is bred to be both fast and early. The dam was a useful black-type two-year-old for us but so far hasn't produced anything. Hopefully by sending her to Blue Point she can enjoy some overdue success. I have him entered this week and again he has done plenty of work. 19-04-23"
TrackLab Insight
Ridgemaster has the best raw win rate in the field at 8% (1 from 12 races) and won at Newcastle in December, but he's never raced on slow ground and looks ill-suited to it — all three losses on soft ground in his record. With 41 days since his last run and no experience of these conditions, he faces an unknown that could easily work against a horse who needs racing to be in rhythm.

TrackLab Insight
The editorial selection carries the lowest weight in the field (130lbs) as a three-year-old, but she's never won or finished in the first three from six career races. Her recent form of 4-4-8-8-11-6 shows a horse that competes but doesn't threaten, and there's no data on how she'll handle slow ground; the tight margins between this and the cluster of rivals mean she's more of a marginal call than a confident selection.

TrackLab Insight
This three-year-old has run just three races, never won or placed, and has no data on slow ground — everything about her is an unknown. The recent form of 4th, 5th, and 7th across last three outings shows she's mid-field consistently, but at 43 days since her last race and with no strength markers, she's among the least credible runners in the field.
Never raced on slow ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old has never won or been placed across eight career races and has zero data on slow ground, making her a complete unknown on this surface. Recent form reads 6-7-8-9-5-12, showing she's consistently mid-field at best; at 31.0 odds, the market has little faith, and rightly so given the lack of any encouraging signal in her record.
Never raced on slow ground
TrackLab Insight
No News is one of only two horses in the field with a proven record on this exact ground (15% win rate on standard-to-slow), but that comes with a major caveat: he has zero wins on pure standard ground from 15 attempts. He was placed second just 24 days ago at Wolverhampton, showing he's competitive, but he's also never won at Newcastle and struggles significantly on left-handed tracks, which Newcastle is.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
Long Shot has never raced on slow ground and comes here off a shocking 11th-place finish beaten 17 lengths just 13 days ago, suggesting form is slipping badly. He's winless from 11 races with just three placed finishes, and while a second place at Catterick shows he can compete, the recent collapse at Ripon followed by a quick turnaround makes him a poor proposition on uncertain ground.
Never raced on slow ground
TrackLab Insight
Runninman has been off the track for 134 days (by far the longest absence in the field) and has never raced on slow ground, making a return to action here genuinely speculative. Winless from 11 races with only three placed finishes and zero wins at Newcastle despite six attempts, the long layoff combined with inexperience of these conditions creates significant doubt about his readiness.
Never raced on slow ground
Absent 134 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Tickhill Flyer is a three-year-old who has never won or been placed across four races and was last seen finishing 6th beaten 8.5 lengths over 53 days ago, suggesting he's either been rested or simply out of the picture. At 101.0 odds, the market rates him as essentially a non-runner, and with no slow-ground experience and no form credentials, that assessment seems fair.
Never raced on slow ground
TrackLab Insight
Realistic Dream is winless and unplaced from 12 races with zero data on slow ground, making her an entirely speculative proposition today. Recent form shows six, seven, six, five, nine, five — consistently mid-pack to back, never threatening — and the consecutive defeats at Hamilton suggest this three-year-old is running out of time to find a breakthrough.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
