26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Proved resurgent with close second at Yarmouth (1m) last week; scored twice over C&D in February; possibilities returned to this scenario, provided he backs up the latest effort. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice over 7f on AW in February and seemed to have emerged from worrying slump in form when sixth at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) this month; needs to build on that effort but is on a good mark and 1m also suits. |

Won a couple of 7f handicaps at Southwell in February; this mark in range judged on his second at Southwell in March but his last three runs have been poor and it is easy to have reservations at present. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Three wins this year during a busy schedule and was runner-up at Wolverhampton before getting stuck in the mud at Haydock; very effective here. |
10/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tough filly whose 14 runs for Karl Burke last year included a win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and an unlucky runner-up spot in this race (good); kept busy for this yard too, adding another three AW wins to her record; not far off her best when second last time and she could have a say if soft ground doesn't dent her prospects. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

7f winner on Newcastle AW in March when only 1lb lower; that stiffer finish suits him well and he was beaten 3l over C&D when last seen in April. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March; back on turf for the first time since last October but he's 8lb lower today and he does act on grass; however, jockey bookings suggest Highfield Viking is the stable preferred. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |

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 |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month and has since been runner-up there (9.4f); also effective here and he's an each-way player. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
String of defeats at short prices before finally off the mark over 8.6f here a fortnight ago off a 2lb lower mark in 0-60 company; has not always looked the easiest and has to prove his stamina going into a deeper race. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All three wins in handicaps when making all, including when visored for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) nine days ago; escapes a penalty for that success (due a 2lb rise) and he makes the shortlist, albeit he isn't sure to have things his own way in front. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who won over 7f in March; only 2lb higher and mainly running well in the meantime but, although she has run with credit over this far, there's a suspicion that a shorter trip suits her better. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Third at Newbury (1m, good) on latest turf start in May and also ran well when filling same position at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 12 days ago but wide draw makes things awkward here. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

C&D win in March off 3lb lower and she ran a better race when third of 12 in a Class 5 over C&D 18 days later; up and down since but she can't be discounted. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The most recent of her six wins came at Doncaster (7f, good) in June and she ran well when third of 12 there last month; below her best on her last two starts but this C&D winner has each-way claims back on AW. |
22/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Inconsistent of late but her Doncaster form features wins in 2024/2026 and a creditable placed effort on penultimate outing; could go well returned to this venue. |

6th 1 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

7f win here in December came off a 1lb higher mark; two low-key turf runs this summer and sold for £2,500 in August; cheekpieces the headgear of choice on stable debut. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |
