19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead, as when winning sole C&D start last summer; below recent best at Leicester recently but he looked to have a Beverley race in the bag the time before, only for Call To Action to race past late; should go well again. |
9/2 |

2-2 over C&D; shaped encouragingly after two-month absence with third of ten in 5.5f Doncaster handicap last month; that race has already produced two winners so he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive 9yo who has gone over two years since his last win and is 0-8 on AW: creditable fourth of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) this summer but not the percentage call here. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Last scored in July 2024 but he was running respectably this year until a lesser effort at Beverley last month; had an excuse that day (anticipated the start and missed the break) and he's on a tempting mark; considered. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won eight times on turf, seven of them over 5f, all on stiff tracks; well drawn, acts well on soft ground, and decent fourth at Beverley last time; interesting in first-time headgear. |
9/2 |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reliable as clockwork since returning from a seven-month break but the handicapper cuts him no slack as a consequence; fine on Tapeta and can give his running again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Losing turf run goes back to summer 2024 but he was unlucky not to put that right at Redcar (6f, good) in August and he's finished in the frame more often than not on this course; on the premises. |
13/2 |

5th 14 (5) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but only just failed over C&D in August (having suffered a poor run) and posted another solid effort when fourth of ten at Ripon (6f) two weeks ago; should remain competitive. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Got back on track for his current yard when third of five in 6f Hamilton handicap in August; can make his presence felt from a slipping mark. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A fairly useful winning juvenile for Richard Hannon but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, off four months before coming in fifth of six in 5f Pontefract handicap 26 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Consistent rather than progressive for Richard Hannon; has finished last in two runs for this yard on either side of wind surgery; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Without a victory since 2024 and he arrives well below par; reared and unseated rider at the start in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; just missed out over C&D last month (blinkers first time) when finding only Betweenthesticks too strong; ran okay at Beverley next time and he was drawn wide when disappointing back there ten days ago; stable also run Changeofmind. |
