Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner (also third last month) who made a successful start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable over 6f at Newmarket (good) 13 days ago, well on top at the finish and recording a career-best RPR; had the advantage of the rail but his 7lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim and his record here affords him respect. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner who was in good form when placed on his last four starts for Ross Burdon, notably when 9lb out of the handicap but third at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fifty Nifty a head in front) a fortnight ago; bought for 11,000gns on Wednesday and he's effectively off the same mark with Billy Loughnane taking over; two runs in blinkers (2023) were not his best but still looks a player on stable debut. |

Two C&D wins to his name; back to form for Ross Burdon, runner-up in his last three starts, but he's upped in class today and has it to do from 9lb out of the weights. |

9st 7lb |
Three C&D runs, winning two (soft and good to firm) and a solid third of eight last month; made the running and faded at Chester since but he's better judged on the earlier runs; on the premises. |

3rd 4 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back. |

Hit the ground running for this yard when scoring on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) in July; yet to match that in three subsequent starts, including when beaten 15l over this trip at Pontefract last time; that came in a higher grade, however, and he's already 1lb below his Ripon mark. |

8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |

Prolific winner, mainly over 6f, the latest when 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April; went close when on this mark in successive starts last month, before a below-par effort in a big-field York sprint latest; player if he can bounce back. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Out of sorts at the time when well held in the Bronze Cup last year; returned to action with AW win in April and he looked as if he had more to offer at 6f on turf when winning at York (good) in June; things haven't worked out that way in two runs since but still time for him to do better. |

Usually held-up and seems versatile ground-wise; has won on at Southwell (6f, AW) and York (6f, good) this summer, but he faded back at York last time and needs to take his form to a new level to come out on top today. |

Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C&D in April; this three-time C&D winner is capable of having a big say. |
