Air Force One
AIR FORCE ONE showed excellent form at York during the summer and he could be the answer to this competitive contest on just his second AW start back from a break. Badri has been running well for a while now and returns to 5f where he's won twice at this C&D, so he's feared most, though The Caltonian is a Newcastle specialist with 6 course wins, including a useful handicap last time.

Won twice on turf in spring including over this trip at Pontefract and left Mark Usher for 82,000 gns after. Best forgiven Ayr Gold Cup run given his poor track position and this previous course winner should have more to offer in 2026.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr6fSoftFlat19/25Hamilton Park6f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/6Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat4/7Pontefract5f 3yGoodFlat1/10Newcastle5f 1yStandard / SlowFlat3/7- 10(14)Heavenly HeatherJ: Barry McHughT: Tracy Waggott6221-15Age 511/211/26/1

Back-to-back winner here this winter and another sound effort when fifth of 14 in handicap over 6f under penalty (11/1) 21 days ago, travelled well but short of room in final furlong. Back at 5f and likely to give it another good go.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandardFlat5/14Newcastle5fStandardFlat1/5Newcastle6fStandardFlat1/9Newcastle6fStandardFlat2/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat2/13- 5(8)Strong WarriorJ: Jack GarrittyT: Richard Fahey/12000-Age 47/17/113/2

Won first 4 starts 9 months apart but has been disappointing since. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (14/1) in September, slowly into stride in first-time tongue strap and made no impression.

Newcastle specialist with 6 course wins who bounced back to form when successful in higher-grade handicap over 6f at the track (33/1) 21 days ago, having dropped to the mark he defied a year earlier. Up 5 lb and back down in trip, so he has to be taken seriously.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandardFlat1/14Newcastle5fStandardFlat6/9Newcastle6fStandardFlat4/13Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat11/11Ayr6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/8- 11(9)Paddy's DayJ: Alex JaryT: Nigel Tinkler0561-43Age 68/18/115/2

Sprinter with a strong C&D record who added to this haul in December.

Ran well in defeat last autumn including third at Ascot and occupied same spot on in handicap at Catterick (9/2) 111 days ago, confirming himself still in good heart.

Won at York in July and 2 cracking placed efforts in good-quality handicaps soon after at that venue. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7/1) 77 days ago, shaped as if needing the run after a break, his effort flattening out on AW debut. Looks the one to beat if back to his York form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell4f 214yStandardFlat6/7Doncaster5f 143yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat13/21York5f 89yGoodFlat2/14York5f 89yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/20York5fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/19- 3(13)Apache OutlawJ: Hector CrouchT: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland04874-3Age 610/110/111/1

Strong in the betting and another sound effort when second of 7 in 6f course handicap (4/1) 17 days ago, unable to find a way past one that had been marginally better placed.
