31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going front-runner who's won five already this year, including a four-timer in high summer (5f-7f); another in-form effort off his revised mark last time and won't mind the drop from 7f or the return to Tapeta. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent in five handicaps for previous yard, winning once; form dipped on debut for new stable but a rebound would put him in the picture; went close in sole C&D attempt. |
9/1 |
|
12th 4 (16) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who has a record of 22213, all over 5f/6f for Gary Harrison, since handicapping; solid claims, assuming he continues in the same vein on debut for new yard; still with same owner. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has clicked since handicapping on fast turf, his two seconds working out particularly well subsequently; off the mark in good style at Thirsk (6f) last time and this half-brother to a Tapeta winner remains open to improvement despite 7lb rise; high on the shortlist. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5f wins at Ayr and Wolverhampton this summer; respectable midfield finish at Musselburgh two weeks ago; patchy record at Newcastle but this is not a strong race. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner; down the field in this race the last two years but there are reasons to expect better this time, with recent form figures featuring two wins (turf/AW). |
13/2 |

1st 6 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doesn't win very often but had her day in the sun when making all over C&D in June off 4lb lower; largely consistent since but win record of 1-20 on turf is offputting. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made all to win a C&D handicap last month; in and out since but she wasn't beaten far at Ayr on Monday and this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but she's been up and down since and was a well-held fourth at Hamilton last time; overall record is now 2-30 and she comes with risks attached; one of three runners for the yard. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the best of draws but he is a hold-up performer in any case; all seven wins have come on Tapeta, including three over C&D, the latest from 4lb lower in April; beaten only a neck here a fortnight ago and capable of playing a part if they go quick enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |

7th 3 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in April and largely in good form subsequently, third of eight in 5f handicap here two week ago; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Remains winless and hasn't been that threatening in any of her 12 defeats, especially of late; first classified assignment. |

6th 7 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Remains winless and she beat one over C&D five days ago; more is required if she's to gain a breakthrough win at the 12th attempt. |
33/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has yet to make the frame in five runs for her current yard, a never-dangerous sixth of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 19 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
He was having his first run after wind surgery when winning a handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago, having a bit in hand (Royal Duke unlucky back in third); 10lb lower than when midfield in this race 12 months ago; good chance. |
9/4 |

1st 12 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
21-race maiden whose form has broadly declined for current yard; chance largely depends on the effects of physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

0-20 and he arrives below par, just fifth of ten in 5f Musselburgh handicap last month; others appeal more. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up in C&D novice in May but she has failed to go on sent handicapping, last of ten at Musselburgh (5f) last month; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
20/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A'Ali filly; posted a good second in 5f Hamilton novice in May but well below par both subsequent runs, only sixth on her handicap debut at Catterick (5f) 23 days ago; remains with few miles on the clock but she needs to take a big step forward. |
