26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in fine form with 5f handicap wins at Pontefract and Thirsk (raced alone) recently; not disgraced when eighth of 16 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb. |
11/1 |

8th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |

Off a reduced mark he won a 5f handicap at Pontefract (good ground) 54 days ago; still has handicapping scope off 3lb higher. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In-form 8yo who can boast four wins and four seconds from 13 starts here; nailed Jojo Rabbit in the final stride at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; goes unpenalised for that success and must be considered. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month before close second at Carlisle (5f, good), and he suffered a troubled passage when 3l ninth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last Tuesday; this in-form 8yo is high on the list. |

Finally back to winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in August and followed it up with a good neck second of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; not taken lightly in his current mood. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a career-low mark for a yard that doesn't send many here and he is worth tracking in the market; seems on the downgrade, though, and he hasn't run at beyond 5f since 2023; others make more obvious appeal. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

He's on a career-low mark but has finished down the field on his three starts since making an encouraging return to action at Ripon in May; needs to turn things around. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won 5f Ayr handicap off 6lb higher in May last year (5f, good to firm) but mainly disappointing since, including on last two starts; bit to prove at present. |

9st 6lb |
Three course wins, the most recent from a 1lb higher mark (6f, good; 5-1) in April; runner-up at Beverley (5f) in June and thereabouts on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2l fourth) three weeks ago; likely to give her best; chance. |

Speedy mare but has done all of her winning on turf, albeit she has only had five opportunities on AW; back to her last winning mark but will be vulnerable to late closers. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has a soft-ground C&D win on her record; well handicapped on this year's best but she has a wide stall to contend with and she needs to step forward from her recent Catterick fifth. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to action with a win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and she ran a cracker at Beverley one month later; not so good twice since and a lower draw would have been preferred. |
10/1 |
|
5 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider. |

Kicks off for third trainer with a lot of racing under his belt (4-46); absent since April when well held on the AW, but this mark is workable and Billy Loughnane is booked. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers. |
7/2 |

6th 2 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |

9st 10lb |
C&D record 115; won back-to-back at Ayr and Thirsk (both 5f) in May/June, rising steadily in the weights as a result; below par since returning from mid-summer break, though her latest Beverley effort (on heavy ground) is excusable. |
10/1 |

11th 3 (15) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins on good ground this summer (handles good to soft) and she ran well off this mark in her hat-trick bid in June; not at the same level this month though and soft ground and stall 15 leave her with a look of vulnerability. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice over 5f at Wolverhampton and Pontefract in April; his more recent form is not so encouraging, however, and he beat only one in 5f Ripon handicap last time; needs to take a step forward. |

8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick. |
16/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par on his last four starts, but Catterick (5f, good) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction and he won there (6f, good to soft) in July on his last encounter with slow ground; not ruled out. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Sole win from 21 starts came in a 5f handicap here in April off the same mark as today's but he's mostly struggled since; has failed to beat a rival on his last two outings and the headgear is now removed. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place. |

9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |

Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |

Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |
