11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |
15/1 |
|
4th 2 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Currently in a progressive vein of form and justified favouritism at Ripon (1m) most recently, making it three wins from last five outings and taking overall record to 5-14; difficult to dismiss. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Handy sort who has won twice this summer, at Sandown (1m2f, good) and Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW); ran well when third of nine off this mark at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, but has something to prove back in trip. |
4/1 |
|
5 (4) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Made the running for three of his four wins, one over 1m2f at Sandown in June (from Andaleep on good ground; unraced on firmer); just hung on when back on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) two weeks ago and raised another 2lb since but needs respect on the back of a career best. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |
10/1 |
|
1 (4) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |
4/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off 1lb lower; ran well over 8.6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but not in the same form at Southwell three weeks ago; moves back up in trip with Billy Loughnane booked; contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All three wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming over 1m2f at Lingfield in April off a mark 1lb lower than today's; has been running well in recent starts and was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) two weeks ago; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been running well in that sphere this summer; remains feasibly treated off 1lb lower than for his Lingfield win (1m2f) in April and he's respected back on AW. |

9st 7lb |
Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more. |
15/2 |

5th 1 |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m4f AW handicap winner in April and followed that with two good efforts, including here; however, he finds winning difficult and no real positives to take from his last three races. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
He's run pretty well to make the frame on his last two starts (1m2f, good to firm/good) and this step back up in trip may eke out something extra, with his last win having come over 1m4f; could be thereabouts. |
11/2 |

4th 2 (1) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made the frame at Doncaster last time but recent form suggests she isn't certain to back up that effort and it's over two years since her last turf win; goes beyond 1m4f for first time. |
16/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Good third in this race in 2024; her only win since that summer came at Southwell (1m3f, AW) this March but unplaced in her five starts since, failing to show much on her two this summer. |
66/1 |
|
11th 17 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Second in this in 2024 (good to firm) and won at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March but unplaced on her four starts since, well beaten at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) most recently when reverting to turf following a break. |

Dual AW Flat winner won a C&D juvenile hurdle on debut in this sphere; respectable run in a Grade 1 next time but was poor at Listed level at Naas since; has to return to best. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Won twice on AW for Sir Mark Prescott (7f/1m); bought for 45,000gns and lived up to his name when scoring on yard debut in Punchestown maiden on New Year's Eve, travelling and jumping well on yielding ground; seemingly exposed at Grade 1 level at Leopardstown early this month but definite claims back down in class. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-24 on the AW with six of those wins coming at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f); no joy in three turf runs in May/June but he didn't get much luck back on AW at Wolverhampton last month; now only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in April and he's in the mix back at this track. |
15/2 |
|

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7-23 on the AW with all wins coming over 1m2f/1m4f on Polytrack, six of them at Lingfield; 0-7 on Tapeta, but runner-up on four occasions so he isn't easy to dismiss. |

9st 5lb |
Landed his fourth win at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June off 2lb lower; mainly creditable efforts since; soft ground may have been against him when below his best at Ayr last month, and he might have found the Redcar race ten days ago a tad too competitive; drops back in grade here. |

11th 11 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Sole success in last two seasons came at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; possibly unsuited by soft ground when fading into fifth of eight at Ayr two weeks ago; ran well the time before and may rebound. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 110y |

Won for the third time when scoring over 1m5f at Down Royal last time; 5lb rise for that probably fine but his best form has come on a sound surface. |

1st 4 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |

Both turf wins were over shorter trips; solid recent AW effort, but stamina remains a concern. |
