26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has found a bit extra in cheekpieces this summer and ended a losing run at Chester (7f, good) in July; went in again at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, narrowly once more, and goes on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Cheekpieces have helped this summer and he ended a losing run off 2lb lower at Chester in July; yard going well but maybe another furlong is optimal these days, especially round an easy, turning course. |

2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got up late to win a 6f handicap at Brighton last month; disappointed at Catterick on Tuesday and this is tougher from 3lb out of the weights; has been rated much higher in the past though. |

Three Polytrack wins came over 7f-1m and found stamina kicking in late when winning off 3lb lower in a big field over this trip at Brighton recently; will want a similarly good test round here, and not too much rain (since taken out on good to soft ground). |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
All six wins have come at this trip, the latest when making all to win well at Brighton (good to firm) in June; took a step back in the right direction when fourth in a Class 4 over that C&D one month ago; interesting on this drop in grade. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |

Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who won over 7f in March; only 2lb higher and mainly running well in the meantime but, although she has run with credit over this far, there's a suspicion that a shorter trip suits her better. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Third at Newbury (1m, good) on latest turf start in May and also ran well when filling same position at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 12 days ago but wide draw makes things awkward here. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

C&D win in March off 3lb lower and she ran a better race when third of 12 in a Class 5 over C&D 18 days later; up and down since but she can't be discounted. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made some good late headway when fourth of 11 in a Yarmouth handicap (7f, good to soft; unraced on slower) four weeks ago and this far is well worth trying; this lightly raced filly enters the reckoning. |
5/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden; not beaten that far when fifth of eight on seasonal/stable debut at Chester (7f, good) last month, but struggled to get competitive at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time hood) last time; no headgear today. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Needs to rebound from poor 6f AW run three weeks ago but was fourth over that trip at Newmarket (good to firm) on consecutive starts beforehand and ought to be suited by this return to 7f; too well handicapped to rule out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
On a good mark on 2025 best and his last two runs have been more encouraging; drawn widest and he will need a bit more if he is to come out on top. |
6/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) last summer and he showed signs of a revival when fourth of ten over C&D (33-1) two weeks ago; ties in with Rebel Path on that form and he's not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
As with stablemate Star Noir he has claims on his best form, namely a 7f third at Musselburgh (soft) last November; two heavy defeats in handicaps this year and drops back to 5f on a recovery mission. |
14/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; placed over 7f on soft ground as a 2yo but was always behind on seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) in April and will need a much more dynamic performance here. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Sole win was at Southwell (1m, AW) two years ago; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in three runs for new yard this summer and can only be watched. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole win came over 1m here in 2024; on a useful mark at present but has a question mark about current form, having dropped out on his final start for previous yard and on debut for this one, at Chester 13 days ago. |
