24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well over C&D (good to firm) in July triggered a career-high mark off which he's struggled the last twice; only 1lb lower here and others are preferred again. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |

Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

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 |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well treated now but his season hasn't caught light yet, including when well beaten three weeks ago after a three-month break; capable but not a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
15th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower). |
14/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |
20/1 |
|
6th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times for two different stables at Brighton last year (1m, good to firm-good) but was soundly beaten on first three starts for current stable this spring (all 7f); considered only if lively in the betting. |
33/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win (0-12); twice placed since joining this trainer, including when a keeping-on third at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) three weeks ago; that form has been boosted by the winner and fourth; wide draw to overcome in stall 12. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bettered underwhelming stable debut when rallying third in maiden handicap at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; recent 3lb drop is helpful and this return to Tapeta should suit; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on his best form for Seb Spencer but he's been out of sorts in his last four runs including when last of eight on stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; overall record is now 0-10 and he needs a major revival. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Struggled in 2025; had a wind op prior to his seasonal return 12 days ago but he finished well beaten at Redcar (1m, good); too much to prove. |
33/1 |
|
13th 12 (18) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning four on the bounce, but 2025 was disappointing; returns after a lengthy absence (had wind op in March) and he has plenty to prove in this competitive race. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins and four placed efforts from 12 visits to Newcastle; he has been in fair form this year and his latest Redcar effort wasn't as bad as the distance beaten suggests (third of the seven to race stands' side); big run on the cards back here. |
11/4 |
|
8th 12 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Notched a fifth success of 2025 in this contest; made the frame for the fourth time this season with fourth of 14 in 1m Southwell handicap 15 days ago; well in the mix once more with cheekpieces reapplied. |
6/1 |

4th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |

9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |
22/1 |

6th 6 (11) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |
5/1 |

1 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |

5th 5 (11) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |
13/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |
