21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who completed a double at Lingfield (6f) in April; now 1lb lower than for the latest success but he's been up and down since and has struggled in three turf runs this season; others preferred. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems happier on the AW than turf and is back down to his last winning mark; the eyeshield worn for his consistent string of efforts in the spring is also back, so there are reasons for optimism. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have come under front-running tactics on AW including over C&D and at Lingfield (5f) this summer; only 2lb higher than for last success but his good run of form came to a halt at Newcastle two weeks ago and he needs to bounce back after that. |
10/1 |

10th 8 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have been on AW and he has form figures of 1221 since July; 3lb higher than for his narrow success at Lingfield (5f) last time but he made all to beat a clear second and hit another personal best with that brave effort; key player. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-19 since winning twice early last year but he's on a much reduced mark and made some late headway over 5f at Wolverhampton last time; looks worth another go at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he got involved. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last of his two wins in 2025 came over C&D; signs he was on the way back when fifth of 12 here (7f) last month; holds claims in his first classified. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in June and has continued in good nick, third of 12 in 6f Pontefract handicap nine days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton in June and he's also had some close calls this season including at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; now drops back in trip but he was only just caught after setting a strong pace last time and is a key player off unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Found out by the drop back to 6f at Catterick 19 days ago; in good form over this trip beforehand but in a lower grade; could prove vulnerable in Class 4 company. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No problem with conditions and he followed a close second over C&D by winning an amateur rider handicap at Catterick (5f, good) by daylight last week; 5lb higher today but he is likely to go up more than that when reassessed; key player from stall 1. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who was 2l fourth to Albegone at Musselburgh last month; claimed in the final stride by his old nemesis at Pontefract (again 5f, good) on Thursday; same terms and it should be close between them again. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has shown patchy form of late and was well beaten at Leicester last time but this C&D winner is on a dangerous mark, 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in May; not ruled out. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his nine wins have been over C&D; hasn't been at his best this year but has dropped 7lb lower than his last winning mark and has made the frame on his last two starts; place claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven wins on the AW elsewhere; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten half a length into second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and a 1lb rise still leaves him 6lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025 include one over C&D; has shaped as if back in form on his last two starts, including when a front-running second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; should go well. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-time winner who is effective here but last three runs have been very underwhelming. |
33/1 |
|
12th 7 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored over C&D in December off 2lb lower and landed his tenth career win at Bath (5f, good) in April; last of eight though over C&D when last seen and vulnerable to younger rivals. |
28/1 |
