29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
10lb lower than when runner-up here (6f, heavy) last October and a market check is advised; however, this 8yo has had a regressive campaign and needs to leave his last three performances miles behind. |
25/1 |

8th 6 (6) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He's dropped to a very dangerous mark on last year's best form and is one to watch in the betting following an 82-day break, but he has struggled to get competitive on his three outings this season. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Won over C&D in March of 2025 off 11lb higher; 0-12 in the meantime and quiet so far this term. |
12/1 |
|
12th 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing favourite at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago but her best performances have coincided with her two encounters with slow ground (both good to soft) so this 3yo is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces in view of today's conditions. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won C&D (good to soft) novice on debut last November and bettered her disappointing handicap debut when creditable second in valuable race at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by return to this track; the one to beat. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Looked promising when justifying favouritism in a Newmarket novice last season (7f, good to soft) but bitterly disappointing thus far this campaign, in a Group 3, a novice and on handicap debut latest. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Won over C&D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present. |

9st 4lb |
On a long losing run but made the frame at Ayr (1m, soft) 12 days ago and ran another good race when second back at Ayr yesterday; should go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
His losing run goes back all the way to May 2024 and he's regressed this year; however, his recent third here (1m, soft) was a step back in the right direction and this two-time course winner is another 2lb lower today; might be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time winner (two here) who is stuck on a losing run and hasn't been in great form this year; merely mid-division in a first-time visor (retained) here yesterday. |

9st 7lb |
Three C&D runs, winning two (soft and good to firm) and a solid third of eight last month; made the running and faded at Chester since but he's better judged on the earlier runs; on the premises. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In a good vein of form, winning twice on Lingfield's AW during the summer and second to Tex in amateurs' race over 1m here (also placed twice over C&D) last time, collared late having briefly gone clear; the fact there was a long way back to the third has resulted in him being raised to a clear career-high mark but still merits respect in his current mood. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |

9st 6lb |
Won two in a row on heavy ground last autumn and he's well handicapped on the pick of his efforts in the first half of this summer; however, he hasn't shone more recently and needs to raise his game this afternoon. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |

Reasonably consistent this season until losing his form in last few outings; registered only wins for current stable when completing a Doncaster 7f double last autumn and may be more interesting when back there. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (14) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Merely midfield at the Galway festival on last two starts but he's run some really good races in defeat here this year; close third in this race last year and versatile ground-wise; very capable of being in the mix. |

3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
