12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Went up the weights for his 1m wins on fast ground at Carlisle this summer but back to some form with a 4l fifth on heavy at Beverley 13 days ago; hard to know whether the return of cheekpieces (in which he's 5100) is a good thing or not. |

5th 1 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained back-to-back wins at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) in May/June, but a rise in grade has caught him out in his last two starts; back in quieter waters, but the likely ground conditions may not play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

11th 11 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-running tactics backfired at the Newmarket July festival last time when bidding for a 1m hat-trick after Class 4 wins at Carlisle; remains on career-high mark and is upped further in grade, so needs to resume his improvement. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made a promising start for his new yard this year and won at Ayr (1m2f, good) in July; however, he's struggled on his four subsequent starts (had a wound on right-hind when tailed off at Ayr last week). |
50/1 |
|
11th 7 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Similar type to Tiernan, being a 4yo who has fairly low mileage; sole attempt at Ayr resulted in account-opening success (1m2f, good) off 2lb lower in July; has posted three duck eggs since but may prove resurgent back here. |
8/1 |

12th 12 (13) |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a second; pulled too hard and beaten a long way at Ascot 17 days ago but that was a Class 2 and this should be more suitable; big run expected. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Two course wins feature one at 7f, but both his wins this term came in Class 4 handicaps at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm), including on his last outing 24 days ago; arrives in good heart but this is a notable step back up in grade. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year. |

1st 12 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |
13/2 |

2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |

Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Six-time AW winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (7f) last December off a mark 5lb higher than today's; hasn't been at her best in recent starts but she's on a handy mark, and could go well if things drop favourably. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Out of sorts on turf in her last two runs, but six of her seven wins have been on Tapeta (including over C&D) and latest was off 3lb at Wolverhampton in December; usually comes from off the pace and she's one to keep an eye on back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

10th 16 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

She's dropped below her last winning mark and has run some reasonable races on turf this summer, but without suggesting a win is imminent; she's just 1-20 on grass as opposed to 6-43 on AW. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

Front-runner who went off too fast for his own good over the extended 7f here two weeks ago and folded, which was also the case in his two previous runs; on a handy mark if he did get any freedom up front, though stamina doubts remain over quite this far. |
33/1 |

9th 2 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out. |

Made it 2-3 at Musselburgh when winning there over 7f in April off a 1lb lower mark than today's; beaten only 4l when seventh of 19 at York (7f, good) 11 days ago but stamina has to be a concern on just his third try over a 1m. |

Ripon novice (1m) in 2024 is his only win from 16 races; inconsistent this year but way down the weights and fourth of 19 at Redcar (1m) last time was a reminder that he can be competitive on turf; much more to prove on his slight AW record; hooded first time today. |

Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |

Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |
