TrackLab Insight
Victory Sound steps up two classes after finishing second at Lingfield 16 days ago, but his single career win came on good-to-firm ground at Haydock in June 2024—a Class 2 race that stands as an isolated highlight. On standard ground, he has never won in six attempts, making today's conditions a significant concern despite the favourable odds.
Steps up 2 classes
TrackLab Insight
The editorial pick sits 3lbs clear of the field by rating and matches Turbo Command's career win rate of 1 in 10, but recent form is patchy: three runs have yielded just one place in 13 days. Drawing high (12) works against the odds here, where low draws have won 11% versus 9% for high, and she has no course form to point to.
Top rated by 3lbs
Best career win rate in field (1 in 10)
TrackLab Insight
This 9-year-old journeyman wins roughly 1 in 10 races and holds the best record on standard ground in the field (4 wins from 23 starts at 17%), making him genuinely suited to today. Racing again just 7 days after finishing sixth, he's a proven all-weather specialist at Newcastle's sister track Southwell (3 wins from 15).
Best record on this ground (4 from 23)
Runs again after just 7 days
TrackLab Insight
This 3-year-old is winless from 10 races but has shown form in 2 of her last 3 outings, including a third at Beverley 61 days ago. However, that run was followed by a ninth, suggesting inconsistency rather than steady progress toward a breakthrough.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
This 7-year-old has won 4 times from 45 races and suits the distance well (17% at 7f–1m), but his recent form is shabby: two eighth-place finishes and a tenth in his last three outings. His record on standard-to-slow ground (17%) is encouraging for the conditions, yet current form suggests he's out of form.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
Bantz is one of the few horses with a course win (1 victory at Newcastle) and suits the distance at 11%, but hasn't won since April 2025 and recent form shows mostly sevenths and elevens. Drawing 14 on an all-weather track where low draws hold a marginal edge (11% versus 9%) is an extra headwind.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Only three career races and zero wins, but Ndoto shows steady improvement: 3rd, 4th, 5th in reverse order across those outings. Stepping up two classes is bold on such limited form, and a 118-day gap before the first of those races adds uncertainty about her true level.
Steps up 2 classes
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Winless from 9 races with just one place finish, Power Of Chora has managed only mid-field form recently (mostly sixths and eighths) with a best effort of third at Beverley 72 days ago. First pairing with jockey Ethan Tindall and no track form to point to.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Mrbluesky has the best record at this distance (1 win from 3 races at 7f) but arrives after 324 days away—easily the longest absence in the field—and has won just once in 18 career races. The return from injury is a major risk, though his form on standard ground (12% win rate) suits today's conditions.
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
Absent 324 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
This 4-year-old has raced five times without a win or place and returned to Newcastle just yesterday, finishing sixth—which means running again today after only one day's rest is highly unusual. With zero career form to recommend him and a first-time pairing with jockey Finlay Bassett, the risk vastly outweighs any potential.
Runs again after just 1 days
TrackLab Insight
At 72 career races, this 7-year-old is the most experienced horse in the field by far, though his 7% win rate (5 wins) and 181-day absence are significant concerns. He has won three times at Wolverhampton and suits 7f–1m distances (11%), but hasn't raced in half a year and hasn't won at Newcastle in recent visits.
Most experienced (72 runs, field avg 20)
TrackLab Insight
This 3-year-old carries the lowest weight (124lbs) in the field but has never won or placed in four races, with recent form showing mostly sixths and sevenths across Beverley, Hamilton, and Pontefract. Raced yesterday and now runs again today in short succession.
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
This 6-year-old has never won in five races and has never raced on normal ground—today is completely new territory. Recent form shows wild inconsistency (16th, 8th, 5th, 6th, 5th) and the odds of 51.0 reflect a horse unlikely to trouble the winner.

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.
