13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Triple 6f winner, including on good to soft; would have claims from this mark if able to produce one of his better two efforts for this trainer in 2026 but needs to bounce back after two lacklustre performances. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Couldn't get involved from off the pace last time at Newmarket and good runs before then at Doncaster (blinkered) and Southwell (visored; all over 6f); as last time, he goes without headger, but stays 7f fine; not without hope. |
6/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |

9st 4lb |
9yo who returned to form when fourth at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and he would have been closer granted a clear passage; effective here, and on slow ground, and he's a possible player. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

In good form on the AW at Newcastle early in 2026; had been off for four months and was very slowly away when 13th of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; can take a step forward here. |

Didn't run badly in the corresponding race 12 months ago when an unconsidered 50-1 shot (after nine months off); running well on AW when last seen but this veteran may find a few stronger this time. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Five wins all on Tapeta and he usually gives his running round here; however, there's little leeway off this mark (5lb higher than when winning in lesser company in the spring) and he doesn't arrive in the best of form. |
20/1 |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf (5-28 as opposed to 0-12) and others have much stronger claims this time. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta. |

C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this summer, the latter gained over C&D; not beaten far when eighth of 20 in competitive Ripon handicap (6f, good) last month but he's not as good as he was, and has a double-digit draw; others preferred. |
12/1 |

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

Took a while to exploit his drop in the weights but he won at Doncaster in July and went in again at Southwell nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but he has the rail draw to help. |

Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved. |

Recorded a summer hat-trick on turf at Chester and Pontefract (two), making all on each occasion; not so good since and may need to come down the weights a shade. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who is in fine form this summer and completed a hat-trick at Pontefract (6f) in August; posted another good effort under an aggressive ride with fourth of 12 in 7f Chester handicap last time; a likely player eased 1lb. |

Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |

Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but has failed to build on it twice since, despite being prominent in the betting over 6f here latterly; down to a mark in the 40s for the first time but the market is perhaps the best guide back from 11 weeks off. |

Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) and a slow start was no help at Chester (stays 7f); only 2-35 but he's not without a chance. |

7th 10 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |

While his 2026 campaign has been underwhelming, he has dropped down the weights and three of his last four runs have been creditable; each-way claims back into Class 6 company. |

Should be well handicapped but slow starts are holding him back; did well to finish fourth at Musselburgh recently but he seems risky these days. |
