Newcastle Bags Race 1 - Thursday 8th October 2026

ALNWICK MEGAN (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 29.59 beating Chamonix. Ideally placed to take this out. BLACKHOUSE TOM (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 1.5 lengths (29.78) at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. COOPERS RICHIE (2) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A5 at this track (30.24). Harder here but will be in this for a long way. STRICTLY ALIJAZ (5) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow third then scored by 2 lengths in an A6 last time at this track over 480m (29.44). Rises a grade but can measure up with repeat of latest.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (30.24). Sure to play a big role.
