25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |

Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
7f win at Wolverhampton in June; absent 66 days until reappearing with a fourth to Beattie Is Back (dead-heated with stablemate Tasever) over C&D 23 days ago; needs to up his game a notch. |
16/1 |

4th 11 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Came from the rear to gain his fourth success (all on the AW) when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two months ago; a 5lb rise still leaves him well treated on his previous form so can't be discounted in his bid to follow up. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Five wins on AW but 0-25 on turf; beaten in a classified event at Ayr when last seen and others are more appealing. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; will appreciate this ease in grade but has been out of form since returning from a break in June; needs to turn things around. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Multiple course winner, the latest in February (1m) off a 1lb higher mark; second run back from a break was better than the first but he still finished behind a couple of today's rivals. |

4th 9 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole turf win came off 2lb lower in this race last year, when with Ann Duffield, and he is 1lb below his last winning mark; interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start for Ivan Furtado (same owners). |
12/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

An 11yo having his 99th start but doesn't arrive in much form and would be a surprise winner. |

6th 3 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Done most winning earlier in the year and doesn't arrive in any form; on the positive side, he has three wins and a couple of seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D, which counts for something at a track that's always produced specialists. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |
