2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Defied this mark over C&D last October but he's been up and down since and was laboured back at this track in August; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he shaped with promise when fifth on his reappearance over C&D (13-2) last month; drawn out wide this time but he should get a good pace to aim at and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; dangerous. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Poor on turf in his last three races but he's far better on the AW and has form here; returns from a break on a realistic mark and could go well. |
12/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won on the AW on her first two starts in July 2024 but she's without a win since; had cheekpieces on for the first time when runner-up to a well-treated rival at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last month before a respectable fourth of ten on the AW at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid place chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark and has proven wildly inconsistent since; one of her better efforts on a rare turf start last time, when flying off in front in first-time cheekpieces, but she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |
9/2 |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Mid-division on both starts here but last three wins were on Newcastle Tapeta, including 2026 reappearance in April; not disgraced on sole start since (June) but does not appear the percentage call. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Dual course winner who's had excuses with one thing and another in recent times; now 2lb lower than when going in here for Henry Callan in the spring and could well get the decent pace he wants; player for a yard that also runs Wrist Art. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has only won on the AW, including here; on a perfectly good mark and wouldn't be a surprise to see him return to form in new headgear. |
