Knox Hydrate Handicap

Newcastle (AW) · 20:24 · Thursday, 20 August 2026 · 5f · Standard · Class 4

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with the front-runners from the inside stalls — particularly Too Much at 1 — challenging from the off, while the draw and course form suggest a tight midfield contest with Buzz Box and Little Mi Mi in contention through the middle. Little Mi Mi stands out on form, having won at Hamilton and Newcastle just 19 days apart on improved ground, with a strong RPR of 84, a recent 1st in a Class 5 handicap, and a 6lb rise that may test her, but her consistency over C&D and recent headway under Jack Nicholls make her a hard-to-oppose contender. The main dangers are Copper Knight, who has a solid RPR of 87 and a recent win at Chester, and Castan, who finished third at Beverley last week on a strong performance despite a 7lb rise, both of whom could threaten in the closing stages. Each-way players at the forecast price include Duran and Star Material, with the latter’s refusal to race at Redcar and poor start in Chepstow raising concerns, while Duran’s return to action after a long layoff offers a value at the forecast price.
