16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
He has been placed in all three outings here, including when caught close home in this race last year; last success came on AW in December but he was second again over C&D (good) in June and comes here off after a good effort over 1m on AW (reapplied cheekpieces) three weeks ago; can go well providing those drawn low aren't favoured. |

2nd 2 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed a few times over 7f this term, including at Newcastle latest start when shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; possibilities off last winning mark. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All three wins have come over 7f on Tapeta including one here; just 1lb higher than when successful at Southwell in December and very much respected back on this surface. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well twice in August, including C&D, but her form has dropped off more recently; one of two runners for connections. |

13th 12 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three Musselburgh wins last year (all on good); hasn't found quite the same form this year, despite placing over C&D (good to soft) in August; disappointed at Musselburgh just five days ago. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who caused a 80-1 surprise over C&D four weeks ago following a six-month break, making all to notch his 12th course success; isn't certain to have things his own way in front this time but can't be dismissed off 2lb higher. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Made all to win a 7f classified stakes at Newcastle 11 days ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; below best in two previous runs over this trip (has won at 1m). |
5/1 |

1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2023 (all three of his wins came in 2023); struggled on his first two starts since returning from a 296-day break but he ran better at Newcastle (1m, AW) 28 days ago; blinkers removed. |

20th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hindered by slow starts this year for new stable, taking AW record to 0-8; however, has possibilities off current mark provided he's helped by first-time blinkers. |
