11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time winner over 1m2f at Newcastle last year; returned from wind surgery with a good second of five at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in July but well below form there last month; drops in grade needing to bounce back. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago and he's been out of sorts in three runs this season; has plenty to prove and he needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |
|
12th 12 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Winless since 2024 and this veteran has yet to fire in handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle (1m4f) this summer; others appeal more. |
40/1 |
|
6th 11 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
The last two of his seven wins were at this track, albeit in 2024; placed twice over 1m2f here in a mixed campaign last autumn/winter; well beaten at 25-1 five weeks ago, a run which he may have needed after six months off and he's now back to his last winning mark, but this race looks too hot. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-33 on the AW but proved game when scoring by half a length at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Modest strike-rate of 1-32 on the AW, and that was at Newcastle, but he does act well over this C&D, having been involved in tight finishes in two of his three attempts and placed in the other; weighted to go well. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021; close second off 2lb higher to Jam Lass in this race last year but modest over hurdles this term for new yard and tailed off at 100-1 when back to Flat 18 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for most of 2025) get their first airing this year. |
50/1 |

8th 1 (10) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Modest RPRs at best switched to hurdles this year for new yard; hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021 but went close off current mark at Redcar last October in most recent Flat run. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well held when third in C&D maidens on last two hurdling starts but ran well to a point both times and has been given a wind op since; smart on the Flat at his best (fourth in 2022 Derby) and open to improvement over hurdles on this handicap debut. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
On a long losing run (last win was at Ayr in July 2024) but he has run a few creditable races this year; has a bit to find with Royal Blaze on their C&D form last month. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 14 months ago and he struggled here last time; on dangerous mark but he's been hard to predict this season and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

10th 3 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
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. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 5yo who won twice over C&D last month (good/good to firm); probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 4lb rise but ought to be on the premises again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 2-2 over C&D when bouncing back with a comfortable success (good) three weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; key player. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
