9th 6 (12) |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Justified favouritism at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on return from break last time, making it two wins from her last three starts (no win previously); upped in grade but may be capable of further progress over this distance; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

Off the mark in Haydock event (1m2f, good to soft) in May; unplaced favourite in sole start since but may still have more to offer at this trip in this grade; not written off. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a first victory at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) last October and recorded a good second here in May; lightly raced since but nearest finish under a patient ride when seventh of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap last month; a player eased 1lb with underfoot conditions to suit. |

7th 1 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won on soft ground in the autumn and ran big race in defeat on reappearance outing at Haydock (1m3f, good to soft) in the spring, but disappointed on his next outing (again raced too freely) and is not easy to predict. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-33 on the AW but proved game when scoring by half a length at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Modest strike-rate of 1-32 on the AW, and that was at Newcastle, but he does act well over this C&D, having been involved in tight finishes in two of his three attempts and placed in the other; weighted to go well. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |

6th 6 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

Veteran who has won only twice in 56 career starts and this season's fourths were remote; 2lb out of the weights. |

4th 13 (11) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two good runs here (1m and 1m1f, good ground) in midsummer but he has finished out the back in both subsequent runs, latterly when 17l behind Zermatt Star at Ripon last week; risky. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally with 1m1f victory at Carlisle in July; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap since though so needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |

Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice on turf last year (1m1f/1m2f) but has become disappointing this season (unplaced all five starts) and has lots to prove on first AW start since 2024. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last September but he's struggled in four runs since and latest was at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last month; now 3lb lower than for his last win but he needs major revival back in trip; wears tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner last May and he doubled his tally when winning at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last September; however, he's been well beaten in three starts this year, including at Ayr (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) on his first start since wind surgery. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Had dropped 7lb below his sole winning mark when beaten half a length (clear of the third) in a steadily run race over C&D nine days ago; could probably do with a stronger gallop but still respected, including as he is due a 2lb rise for that. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) off 6lb higher in April and surged back to some form at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) two starts ago; not beaten far in amateurs' race latest and dropped another 2lb since; worth a second look. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last five runs, including for new yard over 1m and 1m2f last month; it remains to be seen whether a marked step up in trip improves matters. |
33/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
250,000euros yearling; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last four runs, including on stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) this month; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-11 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
10th 9 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-10; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan (1m-1m2f, including AW) but last of nine at Haydock (1m2f) on sole start for Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay; nice pedigree - cost 250,000euros as a yearling - so this trainer could work her magic; monitor only. |
