12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Not ideally positioned when close up in a competitive classified race at Ascot last week (7f); on a tough enough mark back in a handicap but Seamus Cronin's claim helps in that respect. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in July and followed up at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) seven days later; there's a suspicion he's gone off the boil but he was badly hampered when making headway at Newbury last Wednesday and is not written off. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins in July (1m, good to firm) triggered a sharp rise in the weights and his new mark is looking troublesome; the return of Seamus Cronin's claim will at least help in that respect. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
33-1 winner on AW (7f) in January who ran well when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; three other outings this year don't come close, albeit he had an excuse when eased down last time; not easy to predict what comes next. |

9th 3 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Winless this year and only 2-36 overall; however, a repeat of his recent third in what looked a stronger race at Newmarket (1m1f, good) would see him on the scene. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Has an overall strike-rate of 2-35 and winless this year despite the odd respectable effort; he'd be a surprise winner against rivals who have greater scope for improvement. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Kempton in April and he finished well to snatch third off this mark there last time; should be in the mix again and he has a good record under Alec Voikhansky. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins from ten starts over C&D include a success in April off 3lb lower; didn't look in a great mood at Ascot last time but he still ran well to finish fairly close fourth; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |
7/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Only 1lb higher than for last year's win in this race (good to firm) and returns on the back of a solid effort at Windsor; holds every chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who usually gives a good account on this track, winning over C&D (good) in May 2025, and is on a winnable mark; showed signs of a revival on Wolverhampton AW last week after a relatively quiet patch and can be on the premises. |
10/1 |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Seven-time winner and latest was at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in April; well handicapped on that form but he's not threatened since and was beaten 6l at Brighton last time; others preferred. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been at this track over 7f and he was unlucky not to go closer here last week, having been caught in traffic up the straight before finishing strongly for third; yet to win over 1m but has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (14) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D, the most recent coming on his stable debut in May off a 1lb higher mark than today's; didn't get home over 8.5f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (caught wide early) but makes appeal back over this shorter trip (all seven wins over 7f). |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All of his seven wins have been over 7f on AW including three at Wolverhampton; his last success was off this mark in May but he's not easy to predict and has record of 0-9 over 1m; others look stronger. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins include one on the AW at Newcastle last November; also won a handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; made all) in April but he's struggled on his last four starts; blinkers need to make a difference. |

7th 2 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
The season started well but this front-runner has dropped away tamely in his last three races, albeit strong handicaps; this might not be so challenging and could go well if getting any freedom up front. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer. |
