2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Latest of his useful Flat form was an AW win in February 2025 but he failed to shine in his other two Flat starts last year; flourished as a hurdler instead and perhaps this run will be needed before a return to that sphere; the market may guide. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner over jumps; absent since falling in this year's Grand National; 0-5 on Flat but has finished an encouraging second in his two handicap attempts under this code, latest at Goodwood (2m) last October; could go well. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some creditable efforts this year, including when fourth at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June, but he's without a Flat win since 2023 and was disappointing when favourite at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) last month; cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Without a Flat win since September 2023, but is now 4lb lower than when third of 14 in a stronger race over C&D in April and drops into 0-70 company for the first time; much respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |

4th 6 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has often blown the start and he refused to jump away at all without the usual blinkers (back on here) last month; is capable off this mark but a lot will hinge on his mood and how he handles the stalls. |

14th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-15 on AW, including two wins at Southwell, for Gay Kelleway; far from solid on his form since last success but market support should be heeded on debut for new stable; still in same ownership. |
10/1 |
|
10th 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark. |
11/4 |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |

6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower in April who went in again off his lower turf mark four weeks ago; both came for Harry Vigors in small fields and there's no reason not to expect another decent showing. |

1st 1 (4) |

10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |
