1st 2 (8) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) earlier in the year and returned to winning ways at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) last week; did it by 6l and 6lb penalty may not stop him. |

1st 7 (5) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6lb higher than for Thirsk win in June (1m4f, good) but two notable efforts since, last time runner-up to the progressive Archers Bay in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (good to firm); very solid claims back in a Class 4. |

2nd 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in April but she's finished down the field in her last five runs and was behind Arlecchino's Rex here 11 days ago; now only 1lb higher than for her win but she needs to rediscover her spark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won over C&D in April but she's been out of sorts in last four runs and failed to beat a rival at Redcar last time; now only 1lb higher than for her win but she needs a major revival with cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

1m4f winner on the AW back in the spring but pretty much tailed off in her last three races. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Placed in a Redcar novice (1m, good; 16-1) last October but has gone backwards since introduced to a tongue-tie and sent handicapping; 2lb lower than when sixth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) latest; new trip. |

6th 3 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Steady improvement at two; only 9-2 for handicap debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) but she was in trouble a good way out. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Steady improvement across her three 2yo starts, all here, finishing third in a C&D novice (good) last October when last seen; begins handicap life on a fair mark and in a first-time tongue-tie; not discounted. |

9st 5lb |
He has been beaten increasingly big margins in three handicaps; new cheekpieces have some work to do. |

8th 10 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Only modest form shown as 2yo and has been well held in a pair of handicaps here (1m3f) and at Thirsk (1m4f) this season, racing freely each time; others appeal more. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Initial promise when a never-nearer fourth to Myrrh at Hamilton (8.5f, soft) last September; gelded over the winter and struggled to get competitive on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW; 40-1) five weeks ago, beaten over 15l; others are more obvious candidates. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed off 11lb higher on seasonal/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April but lost her form afterwards; had wind surgery during subsequent 96-day break and now wears a tongue-tie; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Did well last season at about 1m but yet to get overly competitive in four handicaps, from 1m2f to 1m4f; perhaps this drop in trip can halt the slide. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Low-mileage filly; needs to prove her wellbeing after weakening quickly at Thirsk a fortnight ago but is now 6lb lower than when placed on seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April, and won't be bothered by the forecast rain (gained her 2yo win on soft ground). |
