15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 5yo who was taking his record over C&D to 3-3 when beating Melek Alreeh here 13 days ago; could have even more to offer and is one of the leading contenders off this 2lb higher mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has made great strides since winning a classified event in July 2024, winning three times on Polytrack, most recently over C&D in March; hampered start at Lingfield in September before involved in a tight finish and seems likely to find another race off this mark. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four Flat wins, including two (1m2f-1m3f) for Ian Williams; runner-up in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; potential over hurdles in novice and maiden company back in 2024, so he could be interesting on handicap hurdle debut; first start for Olly Murphy. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Britain for current yard since winning twice in France; however, beaten 21l at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month following five-month layoff and lacks the scope of his rivals. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Kempton 11 days later (10-1 at the time); now returns to turf after a break but he's a dual winner in this sphere and is versatile ground-wise; possibilities. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won this race under Eireann Cagney last year (good ground); 7lb higher this time around but was placed off today's mark in 18-runner York handicap (10.2f, good) in June; bold defence likely. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Veteran with a splendid 17 wins to his name; one of them came over C&D but he's probably better elsewhere and he beat only two home here ten days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (4) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who was completing a summer hat-trick when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) in August; back in form when third over that C&D (soft) three weeks ago and he's already down to his last winning mark. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won over 1m2f (good) and about 1m (good to firm) this year; creditable third over C&D (good) on last two outings and likely to be in the mix again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won over 1m2f and about 1m this year; still on a fair mark and didn't get the clearest of runs behind Woodleigh here recently; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has won twice this year, at 1m2f and about 1m, but is 2lb above her highest winning mark so probably needs a career best to be successful here. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tough sort who was third in this race on only previous run over C&D (back in 2020); good second at Ayr on Friday (1m, soft); contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 11 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Quirky gelding who didn't look in love with the first-time hood (retained) when beaten 7.5l into second at Ripon, though the soft ground may also have been a factor; the ability is there to go close. |
