26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a deserved second success of 2026 (after four second placings) over C&D in September; not ideally drawn when 11th of 16 in 7f Newbury handicap last week so not out of things here. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Dug deep to justify strong market support in 6f Ripon handicap (soft; has also won on good to firm) 18 days ago; below par on his previous attempt over 7f but the way he stuck on at Ripon suggests this sort of trip could be within range. |
10/1 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 5f AW event off 6lb lower in February and there was no disgrace in chasing home a Hamilton legend at that track (6f, good to firm) in returning blinkers (retained) nine days ago; he is another that cannot be discounted. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Belatedly opened account at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and has largely remained in good form since, albeit he was a shade disappointing when only sixth of ten at Ripon (6f, good; favourite) three weeks ago; can make his presence felt. |

Inconsistent in the second half of this year and his three wins have come at 6f, but he's well served by testing ground and was a close third at Ayr (6f, heavy) last Thursday; could be in the mix. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Mostly running well since cheekpieces were fitted in June, winning over 7f (good) in July and 6f (good to soft) in September; will probably need extra for another win, though. |

3rd 1 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has found a bit extra in cheekpieces this summer and ended a losing run at Chester (7f, good) in July; went in again at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, narrowly once more, and goes on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

9st 4lb |
Won just two of his 36 starts and the second of them was way back in May 2024; he has run some solid races this season, including C&D, but he is prone to fluffing the start and that won't make life easy from stall 3. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win (from 19 attempts) came here (7f, good to firm) in May and he's finished runner-up on three of his last five starts, most recently at Hamilton (5f, soft) eight days ago; he could again be involved. |

Off the mark over 7f at Ayr (good to firm; probably handles soft) in May and mostly in good form since; not obviously ahead of his mark but Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle and the drop to 5f is worth investigating. |

No show back on AW last time but she's had plenty of close calls this season, including at Ripon (6f, good) on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and her four turf wins include one over C&D. |

Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |

Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |

Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f. |

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago. |
