17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Six wins this year alone, three over 6f on AW and three on turf (7f); just 2lb higher than the latest of them in June but he needs more than shown in recent starts. |
25/1 |

8th 5 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick in the summer (first two legs over C&D); unplaced on his last two starts and likely too high in the weights now. |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner who is 2-4 at Redcar and was only narrowly denied by Showtime Mahomes at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; that was a striking effort from a long way back and she's respected off only 1lb higher. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Redcar and Thirsk in May; raced freely when a solid sixth of 11 in 6f Catterick handicap 17 days ago; this dual C&D scorer must enter calculations, especially if settling better. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
She has run well over C&D in the past and won't be inconvenienced if significant rain arrives; she has been beaten off this mark on her last three starts though and needs to pull out a bit extra. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has been placed in three of her last four starts, including when third behind Hurstwood here (6f, good) 18 days ago; that was in a big field and she should go well again off unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (17) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won 6f Hamilton handicap last May; fairly close fourth on his last three starts, including a course classified last month and handicap (again 7f) three weeks ago. |
4/1 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Any number of defeats at short prices to go with a single win; blown plenty of easier openings this year, often in sprints, and again looked to have no excuses from the same stall in a C&D 0-50 classified event last time. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (11) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-26, the win coming in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last May; close third in a classified event at Thirsk two starts ago before a solid effort in a Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) last time; drops back into a classified with good claims. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Completed a Wolverhampton hat-trick around this time last year and returned to form with a close fourth there 16 days ago despite a slow start and hitting some traffic; has won twice here so needs considering. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (2) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts for Hugo Palmer last autumn but hasn't gone on in handicaps, including on Tapeta; makes his stable debut having been picked up for 2,600gns last month; plenty to prove. |
20/1 |
|
8 (11) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless and he was tried in blinkers when beating only one in 1m Hamilton handicap 19 days ago; reverts in trip here with plenty to prove. |

3rd 5 (5) |
16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who has shown career-best form at Hamilton on his last three starts, with two wins (6f/5f, good to soft/soft) sandwiching a near-miss (6f, soft); capable of running well elsewhere and he showed promise here in May; unexposed at 5f and this progressive sort is in calculations. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has a record of 5-17, all wins at 6f; head second, clear of remainder, last Monday (soft) when bidding to take his Hamilton record to 3-3; likely to cope with the drop in distance and holds leading claims off same mark turned out before he's reassessed. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
From humble beginnings he's done so well in 6f turf handicaps and a recent win from in-form rivals here (good to soft; second was wide-margin winner on Saturday) took him to 2-2 over this C&D; up 4lb but he's from an illustrious sprinting family and he can continue a stealthy upward climb. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Seventh in two starts at Chepstow (7f, good) and Carlisle (6f, soft) in May/June; up in trip and returns to AW; lots to prove. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-10 and came in a below-form seventh of 12 in 7f Chepstow handicap 17 days ago; he's very hard to make a case for. |
