5th 3 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
2-2 here, the wins coming over 1m in May (good) and July (good to firm), and she was back on that last winning mark when runner-up at Catterick (7f, good) a fortnight ago; handicapper has left her alone and she's respected. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time winner who scored at Redcar (1m, good) in May and again over that C&D (good to firm) in July; she's back on that latter winning mark and the likely good tempo will help on this first go at 7f for just over a year. |
8/1 |

8th 4 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Recorded her fourth win, and second at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in July off 1lb lower; has run respectably since; holds claims but may have a better chance when returning to Redcar. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |
|
6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2-30 so he's hard to win with, but found only one too good last week at Musselburgh (1m, good); must have a chance, though might not appreciate the ground getting too slow. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered both wins at Ripon but he posted a respectable effort over C&D last time, finishing third, and again has place possibilities; best form gives him an even better chance today. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (12) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Ripon winner last summer who's regressed and run below market expectations on last two starts; this is easier off a career-low mark (9lb lower than when last successful) but he could have done without the recent rain. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to get home over 1m5f last time; generally consistent otherwise this term and has place possibilities back down in trip/class; however, harder to put top of the list, being 0-21. |
15/2 |
|
5th 11 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
20-race maiden who tackles his longest trip to date; however, he's run some good races this year, two of them here (1m2f, soft/good), and he was runner-up at Thirsk (1m4f, good) on Monday; not ruled out each-way. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Is 0-19 but largely running well this season, third of seven in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle last time; one to consider from an easing mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole turf win came off 2lb lower in this race last year, when with Ann Duffield, and he is 1lb below his last winning mark; interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start for Ivan Furtado (same owners). |
12/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Weakened into sixth after making the running in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Redcar (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-15 but drops from 0-70 grade here and can't be ruled out off latest career-low mark. |
9/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in 14 but runner-up on three occasions and penultimate effort (1m2f) was encouraging; could go well if reacting positively to new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden but he has finished runner-up three times; mostly disappointing this year but it was a respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; Idyllic was second) last time; this extra furlong doesn't look sure to suit, however. |
