22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not at his best on soft ground here 24 days ago but he's better than that and this mark is well within range; likely to bounce back with a big run. |
8/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner in the past; began this campaign with two solid efforts and he is well treated if bouncing back; more recent efforts not quite so good though and he goes without headgear today; well drawn and handles soft ground so there are positives as well as negatives. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Just one win since landing this in 2023 but runner-up in a division of this last year and some sterling efforts in defeat this campaign, including at York last week; has won on good but suited by slower; solid. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Things didn't work out when fifth over C&D (heavy) last time but he'd twice gone close at York previously (7f, good to firm/good to soft) and he was second in a division of this race last year; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second in a division of this race 12 months ago off 1lb lower; fine runs at York on his last two starts and another big run is on the cards. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He returned to form when third of 14 at Ayr (7f, soft) in September and backed it up, despite hanging, when scoring over that C&D (heavy) 17 days ago; up 3lb but he's won off higher and on good ground; can go well providing stall 20 proves no barrier. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing this year but has dropped down the weights and he was back on song when third over C&D (soft) recently; this C&D winner can be in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner but has struggled badly in recent starts, including failing to beat a rival on AW 12 days ago; regular blinkers were left off then but return now; hard to build up too much enthusiasm. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Excels over C&D, only once out of the frame in 14 runs and his fourth win coming on latest start here (good), when making all from Indefensible; still well treated and can go well in the bid to repeat his 2024 win. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
13 starts here have yielded three wins and eight places, albeit the latest success came nearly two years ago; arrives in form after a string of solid efforts and he's likely to make his presence felt again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Recorded his first handicap success when landing a 7f event a Musselburgh in June; only fourth at Carlisle 17 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he anticipated the start and ended up losing a lot of ground as a consequence; hadn't had any issues at the start before that and he is treated as still being in top form; good chance. |
11/4 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his 2yo novice win when making all to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) in June; this is a deeper race but a 3lb rise looks fair and he's well drawn to attack; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Still seeking his first handicap success and he has been beaten as favourite in both starts this year; on a dangerous mark and likely to be popular again. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Latest turf win in June 2025; hasn't been doing himself justice since back from a break in August but he suffereed some interference in this race 12 months ago (joint-favourite) and a revival isn't impossible. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
C&D win off 1lb higher in March; over 4l behind Beattie Is Back here 23 days ago and this looks a stiffer assignment. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual course winner over 6f/7f, the most recent coming in March off the same mark as today; below his best in three starts since but can't be dismissed back on the AW. |

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 |
|
2 (6) |
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. |
10/1 |
|
10 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

6f win here in July off 1lb higher; not beaten many home in three runs since and a visor is now reached for (has been wearing cheekpieces). |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Produced a strong finish to win a 6f handicap at York last month; strong in the betting back at York three weeks ago but could manage only seventh after his rider removed his blindfold late; still has handicapping scope. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (12) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Well backed when coming from off the pace to beat 18 rivals over C&D 13 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look excessive; respected. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Second on Tapeta on debut and had decent 7f form on fast ground for David O'Meara; fitter for last month's stable debut. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (14) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
9st 11lb |
Raced mostly over 7f in Britain for David O'Meara, winning Thirsk maiden and going close in a couple of low-grade handicaps; bought for 9,000gns at Tattersalls last month and probably best watched over a trip which may stretch her. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a maiden over C&D last summer; back to form with a front-running second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) nine days ago; on a dangerous mark and one of two solid contenders for David O'Meara. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Close third of 26 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in July and he's better than he showed on his two starts since (6f/7f, good to soft/soft); however, he needs to bounce back today and his last four wins have come over 6f. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Third of 26 in a 6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but then disappointed when 4-1 at Hamilton; lacks the same appeal as some in here, especially when 6f has always looked his trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |
13/2 |
