19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo; dug deep to repel Stratusnine in the Stewards' Cup (6f, good to firm) last month and performed to a similar level at York (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; still has relatively low mileage so the requisite progress may be forthcoming. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of four of his nine starts, advancing his form to the next level when winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; handles soft; up 4lb but there could well be more in the tank; stable also represented by Fine Interview. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Chased home Far Above Dream, beaten a neck with the pair clear, in a C&D handicap in May; again finished behind that rival in the Wokingham six weeks ago (cheekpieces first time) and needs more to win but that is not out of the question. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has moved in the right direction on AW since returning from lengthy layoff but the form suggests he doesn't retain peak ability; the 8yo is the oldest contender back on turf. |

2nd 2 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Second run back from a long break (C&D) was better than the first; on a good mark if able to take another step forward. |

Smart sprint handicapper but off for 13 months after finishing third over C&D on New Year's Day 2025 and always behind on his Chelmsford comeback 26 days ago; needs to have come on a lot. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Ten career wins include 2023 Scurry Handicap here and has added lesser events this year at Leicester and Hamilton, also Epsom fourth to Sondad on soft; not as same level at Goodwood latest but not one to dismiss. |
14/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Held on narrowly from Ferrous in the Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton last time; has performed well twice in the Stewards' Cup over C&D; may remain competitive. |
9/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
8yo who can be in and out but he won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April and has run well in defeat on his last two starts, at Epsom (6f, soft) and Newcastle (6f, AW); he was a close second of 14 last time and this C&D winner can be in the mix if he's once more on a going day. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides). |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-French; took time to acclimatise and was down the field in the Gold Cup last autumn but of more interest now, having been quite impressive at Goodwood (6f, soft) in June and seriously hampered at the Curragh (6f, yielding) last week on second run back from a break; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; likely to be suited by this thorough test and has a solid chance. |
5/1 |

10th 7 (12) |
13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Former French Listed winner scored for this yard in soft-ground Goodwood handicap in June and didn't run badly over same C&D last month, having travelled well; any rain would help his cause. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice over 6f on turf for Edward Bethell as a 3yo and ran with credit in three starts on Tapeta between last October and April; well beaten in his last two starts in ultra-competitive sprint handicaps on turf and is back in calmer waters, but he faces several in-form rivals. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won 6f maiden and novice races for a previous yard in 2025 but he's been weighted to his best in AW and turf handicaps for this one and is aiming high back from a break. |
50/1 |
|
21th 16 (20) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won maiden/novice races on turf last May/June and was a promising fourth of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March on his stable debut; however, not quite at the same level there (6f) since and he's up in grade this afternoon; others are more compelling. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins last year, latterly off 8lb higher; didn't shape with obvious promise when sixth back on AW at Southwell latest but the second/third from that race have won since and he could revive back here. |
7/2 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins to his name last year (fine here too), latterly off 6lb higher; will appreciate the return to Tapeta, having been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper following a few runs on turf; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time 6f winner at Newcastle early in 2026; not at his best in the mud at Haydock (6f) 11 days ago but had twice shaped with some promise at Ripon prior to that, so he's very much one to consider now 1lb below his last winning mark. |
8/1 |

13th 10 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed a pair of 6f Newcastle handicaps early in 2026; back in good form of late, and first home in his group when sixth of 20 in 6f Ripon handicap 20 days ago; this C&D winner is very much one to consider. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Impressive in this race in 2024 when rated 3lb higher; mixed bag this summer but his two best turf runs have come over C&D and this represents an ease in grade; can't rule out. |

Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner who is 0-24 on turf and usually races over 6f; currently in form, however, and has frame possibilities provided the return to 5f doesn't prove an issue. |

3rd 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

All his seven victories have come on the AW but he wasn't discredited with fourth of ten in 6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |
11/2 |

4th 9 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference. |
