2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have come under front-running tactics on AW including over C&D and at Lingfield (5f) this summer; only 2lb higher than for last success but his good run of form came to a halt at Newcastle two weeks ago and he needs to bounce back after that. |

10th 8 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have been on AW and he has form figures of 1221 since July; 3lb higher than for his narrow success at Lingfield (5f) last time but he made all to beat a clear second and hit another personal best with that brave effort; key player. |

1st 6 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he has run two solid races in defeat since; well drawn to attack but there are other pace influences on show and his 5f efforts need bettering. |

Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use. |

Fairly consistent sort; ran up to her best when runner-up here (6f) 11 days ago; first-time hood replaces visor and good chance that stepping back up in trip can eke out further improvement. |

Missed a few chunks of his career and is on the decline now; remains consistent, though, is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and is being given every chance by the handicapper. |

4th 5 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance. |

3rd 4 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D. |
5/1 |

5th 2 (7) |

All three wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has been running well all year without being able to add to his tally, latest when beaten a neck at Brighton (6f, good to firm); should not be far away. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over C&D last October; should be on a perfectly good mark but hasn't been in the best of form. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over 6f here last October; now 2lb lower than for that win but has a mixed record since and was never involved at Wolverhampton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he needs to raise his game back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch in 2024 when winning six times; landed his third win over C&D last August off this mark; handicapper has given him a chance after two defeats last month; should run well. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times, three over C&D, in the first half of 2025 and he is well treated on even this year's best; wind surgery in April hasn't sparked a revival this summer but he drops in class this time and he has too much ability to rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up sprinter who boasts a good record over C&D; things haven't panned out his way in a couple of runs since wind surgery but he's well treated now and quite capable if things fall right. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C&D in April; this three-time C&D winner is capable of having a big say. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three of her eight wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off a 1lb lower mark; on a competitive mark now back down to Class 6 and returned to AW; will need luck from stall 1 but she's one to take seriously. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Does most racing on the AW but is fine on turf, as when narrowly beaten over C&D off 1lb lower last month; typically failed to back that up last time and much will depend on her mood and how the race unfolds once (presumably) dropped in from stall 9. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

Gamely gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago; up 4lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D scorer is a likely player. |

1st 9 (8) |

Won at Chester (5f, good) in July and he's been a close second on his last two starts, most recently off this mark in a big field at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday; he's a very solid contender. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |
16/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

2-5 on AW, most recently at Lingfield (5f) in April off 5lb lower; beaten three times on turf since but can't be discounted back on AW despite going without any aids. |
