William Dewhirst
Regular on AW at Newcastle, his last six wins (6f-7f) coming there, most of those under Paul Mulrennan; has struggled to recapture his form in 2026, trailing home ninth of ten at Carlisle (7f, soft; 22-1) 16 days ago; stablemate Fortamour makes way more appeal.

From the connections
“William Dewhirst did well in November and December as well. There's a race here for him in mid-February, a 0-85 that he should get into, but obviously as he creeps up the handicap, we'll have to start boxing clever with how we place him to maximise points - Ben Haslam, trainer.”
“William Dewhurst saw a bit too much daylight last time and is quite enthusiastic but today I've managed to get in that box seat and get plenty of cover. I was just saying to Ben [Haslam, trainer] he's really grown in the last three months and he's filled out into a big, fine horse with not many miles on the clock and he loves this place - Paul Mulrennan, jockey, speaking to Sky Sports Racing.”
