16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Can front-run; now 1lb lower than for last August's Chepstow success (7f, good to soft) but he's been below his best in four starts this year, including at Kempton 12 days ago; drops back to 6f for the first time since his 2yo days. |

8th 11 (9) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his near miss at Lingfield (7f) in December; not at best in two runs back from a break but the type to come good again soon; perhaps that will be in a race that will feature fewer pace influences than this one. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
10lb lower than when runner-up here (6f, heavy) last October and a market check is advised; however, this 8yo has had a regressive campaign and needs to leave his last three performances miles behind. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |

Consistent spell over 7f featured an Epsom win in July; well held on penultimate start, though, and never got into it over 1m at Brighton on latest (patchy record over 1m); good chance if back to her peak. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
In-form 5yo who was beaten only 1l when fifth at York (good to firm) in July before solid third at Carlisle (good to soft) the following month; narrowly denied when second of 14 at Newmarket (again 7f, good) 11 days ago and he's a leading candidate back down in grade. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 12 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his first handicap success on turf when landing big-field event at York (7f, good) in May; last two efforts have been creditable and he's just 1lb above that winning mark; player. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner since a visor was added in February and he ran another good race when a close fifth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) last month; 1lb lower here and he should be in the thick of things again. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in a light 2026 campaign when fourth in big field at York last month; has an unimpressive strike-rate for current yard but is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be discounted. |

10th 3 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner this term; ran creditably in the International over C&D in July and at Newmarket last Saturday; however, has seemingly already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals. |
25/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring on the other Newmarket course (7f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division under a penalty at York (1m, good to soft) since but it wasn't a bad performance and he's 4lb lower today and back at 7f; not discounted. |
13/2 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft. |

Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up a couple times this season, but he was beaten 14l after an awkward start at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and that took his overall record to 1-19; others preferred. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

Sole AW win came here and returned to form with a near miss over 1m at Doncaster where he was headed late on; same mark for this and dropping back to 7f won't hurt. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Not entirely solid on 2026 efforts but has possibilities on best form, being a four-time Class 4 winner who is in a lower grade today; gained the most recent success 15 months ago. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |

Didn't make her debut until June but set to make up for lost time judged on the way she strode 3l clear in novice at Newcastle (7f, AW) six weeks ago; lacks experience for a race of this nature but has obvious unexposed potential now making a quick switch to handicaps. |

Dual winner over 7f at this track, the latest (good to soft) in May; has one good run against his name over this far, but on balance shorter trips seem to suit him best and he may also prefer slower ground. |

Gained a second C&D victory when getting up late in 11-runner handicap last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he must enter calculations. |
