28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |

9st 6lb |
12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Returned to form in first-time blinkers (retained) with close third at Southwell (5f, AW) three weeks ago; worth a second look after that but he's inconsistent and unproven on soft/heavy ground. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D win late last summer came off 6lb higher; he's proven patchy this season but the handicapper's given him a chance should the first-time blinkers (has worn cheekpieces once before) have the desired effect. |
8/1 |

15th 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; won four times last season and went close at Beverley this May; not far away three times in a row this summer (not so good on latest start) and creeping down the weights but others are now a bit more persuasive. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who gained a first win for her current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June; her form has dipped since midsummer but latest Ripon fourth of 14 was respectable; close second over C&D on her only AW start. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish mare who gained a first win for her current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June; her form has dipped of late though so more is needed after a below-par seventh of ten at Doncaster (5f) 13 days ago. |
16/1 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Thirsk (5f, good) in June and ran well in defeat on next three starts; handles good to soft; reportedly never travelled when below par at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but can be in the mix if bouncing back. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Last scored in July 2024 but he was running respectably this year until a lesser effort at Beverley last month; had an excuse that day (anticipated the start and missed the break) and he's on a tempting mark; considered. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent gelding who recently underwent a third round of wind surgery; C&D win in January came off this mark and he won't mind coming back up from 5f, so he's one to consider, returned to blinkers from cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his two Beverley wins when scoring on Tapeta at Southwell (6f) in January; only 1lb higher than for that success and he's run plenty of good races since including when third at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; respected on his first run after another wind operation. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Three more wins this year (including C&D on soft) and last Saturday's sixth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr was another creditable effort (second of 12 in his group); the fact he's finished in the first three (including four wins) on eight of his ten visits to Haydock makes him a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
6th 12 (23) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Respectable but unavailing effort in the Bronze Cup two years ago; in marvellous form this year, adding three wins at 5f (soft and good to soft), but he couldn't pull off another one at Haydock recently off a career-high mark; has more to do back at 6f. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |
7/1 |
