12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lost her first eight races but has won two of her last three, the wins over C&D (soft/good); midfield at Glorious Goodwood but still ran well to be only 3l off the principals; looks a key player. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Took nine attempts to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Chester (7.5f; soft/good); up another 5lb but still one for the shortlist now that something has clearly clicked. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Scored twice in Ireland; inconsistent this term for new yard, best efforts when second twice at Chester; admittedly had something to prove when tackling 1m2f the last twice, so this drop back in distance looks a plus. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice for Dermot Weld (at up to 1m1f); easily his best runs for Declan Carroll have been here (twice runner-up) but those were at about 7f and at 125-1 he was tailed off at York three weeks ago (Shafdar was third); the blinkers worn for his last two races are left off. |
14/1 |
|
19th 16 (18) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins (1m1f/1m, good) for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year; second start for current yard when runner-up at Chester (7f, good) in May; three poor runs followed but back to form in blinkers (retained here) when second of nine back at Chester (extended 7f, good) six weeks ago; needs to prove his stamina and that he can string good efforts together. |

He's 1-22 overall but came from rear to finish third behind a major improver over 1m at Newmarket three weeks ago (good to firm); should have some part to play. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won two handicaps at Chester (6f/7f) in June and it was another good effort back at that track when second of 12 last month (7f, good to soft); he will need luck in running from stall 2 but not handicapped out of things. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (14) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two course wins in June (6f, soft and 7f, good); ran poorly at York three weeks ago and has the widest stall to deal with this time. |
12/1 |
|
19th 19 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won two in a row at Chester (6f/7f, soft/good) in June and respectable efforts at Chester (7.5f, good) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) since; however, he needs something extra on today's first attempt at 1m if he's to land a competitive handicap such as this. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; back up 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and could be a big factor again back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won an AW maiden (1m) for George Boughey last autumn but he's struggled in three runs for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back on Tapeta. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage 4yo, who won an AW maiden (1m) for George Boughey last autumn but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this season; has lots to prove and needs a major revival back in trip. |
33/1 |

10th 8 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage AW winner who trailed home last of 12 at Newmarket on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market suggests he's likely to leave that effort behind. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over 7f here in June and doubled his tally for the season in 6f Wolverhampton claimer in July; last of seven back in handicap company at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago so has a bit to prove in a change of headgear. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Reappeared with a win in a Beverley maiden (8.4f, good to soft) in April but she's found things tough in handicaps since; continues to drop down the weights but she was laboured at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month and others are preferred. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed 8.5f maiden at Beverley on her return in April but she hasn't kicked on in handicaps, only ninth of 12 at York (7f) 27 days ago; she needs to take a big step forward. |
11/1 |
|
9th 4 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Narrow winner of a Beverley maiden in April; matched that when fifth on her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, good) but two lesser runs have followed; Mr Noble is the more obvious of the Karl Burke pair. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Popped up at 20-1 in a 7f handicap at Chester in May; no comparable form since and unlikely he will be able to dominate in this field. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
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 |
10st 1lb |
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. |
