Newcastle AW Code Breaker

Two AW meetings today. The Newcastle afternoon meeting starts with the 2:12. I will attempt to Crack The All Weather Code At Newcastle in as few words as possible.

❖ Jockeys ❖ For this afternoon's meeting I will be focusing on Billy Loughnane 𝕏 who rides the Newcastle AW track very well. He has six rides.

❖ Trainer ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye

❖ Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Newcastle is non existent, especially on the straight course, so nothing to see there.

Newcastle Betting Analysis

3:42 Newcastle ❖ 6f C5 Hcp ❖ The Green Man (13/2) will be trying to rattle past them late on up the Newcastle 6f straight. I think with the aid of Loughnane and his strongarm handling on board, he might just catch them all out. The 13/2 on offer is reasonable.

3:42 Newc ~ Win Bet: 13/2 The Green Man

5:42 Newcastle ❖ 1m C6 Hcp ❖ Lessay (15/2) is another who will be trying to rattle home late with Loughnane aboard. Once again, he may just catch them and the price is reasonable also.

5:42 Newc ~ Win Bet: 15/2 Lessay

Wolverhampton AW Code Breaker

I will be trying to Crack The Wolverhampton AW code in as few words as possible. This afternoon's nine race card features four handicaps, three maidens and two classifieds.

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am looking to this evening is Billy Loughnane who has six rides.

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

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ Give a close up look on form to anything Billy Loughnane is on.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

• 23 Feb 2026 8:30 Wolverhampton Handicap 1m 1f Charlie Johnston SWEET LOVE

Wolverhampton Betting Analysis

8:00 Wolverhampton ❖ 7f C6 Hcp ❖ Dash Power (4/1) is never far away when running over the C&D. With Loughnane aboard for the first time, I figure he'll just about nick it. The 4/1 on offer therefore, is arguably a reasonable betting opportunity.

8:00 Wolver ~ Win Bet: 4/1 Dash Power (Unp 3/1)

Southwell AW Code Breaker

My attempt to Crack The AW Code At Southwell on this evening's bumper nine race card that features eight handicaps of various descriptions.

❖ Jockeys ❖ This evening I'll be studying the Billy Loughnane 𝕏 formlines ~ he has eight rides.

❖ 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 you think they have the ability to actually get home up the slightly uphill 1.5f finish.

• 20 Feb 2026 8:00 Southwell Handicap 5f Richard Hughes NOGO'S DREAM
• 20 Feb 2026 8:30 Southwell Handicap 7f David Menuisier METAVERSE ✅

Southwell Betting Analysis

6:30 Southwell ❖ 6f C4 Hcp ❖ Betsen (17/2) is in tiptop form at present.

Conclusion: I see no reason why Betsen cannot win this outright under Loughnane from trap two. In fact, I believe I could arguable make a good case for him to be atleast joint fav with Vantheman.

6:30 South ~ Win Bet: 17/2 Betsen (3rd 13/2)

8:30 Southwell ❖ 7f C4 Hcp ❖ Metaverse (14/1) is a fair way overpriced imo.

Conclusion: Could well take this under Loughnane. Patchy enough formwise for a horse of with a mark of 83. However, on his day, is capable of winning a C4 hcp no problem. First time at Southwell, he could run away with this if all falls right for him from stall one.

8:30 South ~ Win Bet: 14/1 Metaverse (3rd 14/1)

Newcastle AW Code Breaker

Two AW meetings today. The Newcastle evening meeting starts at 4:25. I will attempt to Crack The All Weather Code At Newcastle in as few words as possible.

❖ Jockeys ❖ For this evening's meeting I will be focusing on Jason Hart 𝕏 who rides the Newcastle AW track very well. He has three rides.

• 14 Feb 2026 4:55 Newcastle Handicap 6f Ben Haslam RAJSTAR ✅
• 14 Feb 2026 5:55 Newcastle Handicap 1m Ivan Furtado HELMSLEY

Newcastle Betting Analysis

4:55 Newcastle ❖ 6f C6 Hcp ❖ Rajstar (15/2) won well enough over the straight 6 here at Newcastle and can go in again despite the 5lb raise in the weights.

4:55 Newc ~ Win Bet: 15/2 Rajstar (Unp 7/1)

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Today's first AW meeting comes from Lingfield. An seven race card with six handicaps. 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 Irishman Ed Greatrex 𝕏. He rides Lingfield's quirky track very well. He has two rides this afternoon.

❖ Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's afternoon 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 the two Greatrex ridden horses very closely.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

• 14 Feb 2026 3:10 Lingfield Handicap 7f Michael Herrington LEGAL REFORM ✅
• 14 Feb 2026 3:45 Lingfield Handicap 1m Jamie Osborne ANGRY ANT

Lingfield Betting Analysis

3:10 Lingfield ❖ 7f C2 Hcp ❖ Legal Reform (15/2) has been underrated by the bokies I feel. I make him joint fav. I think he's in the form of his racing career and could well nick this under Greatrex who has ridden him once and won.

3:10 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 15/2 Legal Reform (4th 6/1)
