17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has stood up well to a busy year, winning three times and better than ever when successful at Brighton (7f, good) in September; not quite at that level in two runs since but perhaps fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces will help. |
9/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Notched a third success of 2026 at Brighton (7f) in September; backed it up with a solid fourth of nine in 7f handicap at Beverley 13 days ago; this consistent sort ought to be in the shake-up again. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

Mr Reliable over C&D, winning two of five starts (good, acts on soft), the latest from the front in June, and placed in the other three; well held behind Black Storm at Catterick last month but of interest back here. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over 7f here in June and doubled his tally for the season in 6f Wolverhampton claimer in July; last of seven back in handicap company at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago so has a bit to prove in a change of headgear. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who is 1-1 at this track, the win coming in 7f handicap (good) last month on his penultimate start; disappointing favourite off this mark at Musselburgh 18 days ago but a bounce back can't be ruled out. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seems versatile ground-wise; first turf win when beating one in tremendous form (won again since) over 7f at Catterick latest but had been a shade unfortunate not to win over C&D in June, when just losing concentration at a fatal stage; back up 4lb but was close behind a well-treated one in this race last year off the same mark; solid chance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since a Dundalk maiden win in October 2024; series of good runs this summer, including tried in blinkers at Ayr last week, but he has work to do with Runninsonofagun on that evidence. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just 1-22 but scores good marks for her consistency since 6f AW win in January; denied clear run before keeping on for fifth in recent C&D contest won by Jkr Cobbler; each-way claims at least. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Largely consistent mare who was third over 6f at Hamilton on her last two appearances; also suited by this longer trip and won't mind if the ground is slower than good; probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Largely consistent mare who was respectable third of seven when dropped back in trip for C&D (good to soft) amateur riders' race a fortnight ago; probably won't be far away. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

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

1m win here in June when rated 1lb higher; not beaten far here on his last two starts but he was slightly disappointing when a well-supported favourite on the second occasion. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

9st 9lb |
Left Edward Bethell after two down-the-field runs in spring and was also soundly beaten on first two runs for new stable (7.3f/1m); dropped back in trip and tried in first-time cheekpieces today; has a lot to prove on first experience of ground slower than good to soft. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who made an encouraging return from an absence on the AW (1m) last October but he hasn't achieved a lot since and was beaten a fair way out at Ffos Las in July on his yard debut; one to watch for now. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

No wins in eight; had placed form for Edward Bethell but signed off for that yard under a cloud; would have claims if he can turn a corner for new yard. |

Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |

6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Won over C&D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present. |
