3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who's back on a career-high mark but who arrives in good form, having run well when way out of her depth last time; goes on the shortlist. |

9st 0lb |
C&D winner in July and better form when seeing off 19 rivals at Ayr (5f, soft) last week; biting off more than she can chew here though. |

Modest mare who has bagged a couple of Class 6 contests during an otherwise inconsistent 2026 campaign; opposed in this field. |

Drawn wide at Chester last time and had previously won narrowly at Chepstow (5f, good to soft), maintaining his good season; perhaps high in the weights now, though. |

Gained second win of the season at Chepstow last time (5f, good to soft) but now 4lb higher and has no easy task from stall 10. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (once from stall 1) who's weighted to around his best; still shows plenty of toe and is likely to give it a good crack. |
4/1 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four good runs, including a 5f win at Nottingham, since returning to action in June; this prominent racer should be in the thick of it again. |

2nd 4 (12) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Made all at Nottingham (5f, soft) and bang there on starts either side of that, beaten under a length; solid chance with C&D form to his name. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins at Catterick and one (this June) at Beverley; last three outings (back in Class 6 last time) don't suggest he's about to score today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year off a 5lb lower mark; latest heavy-ground effort may be best overlooked and he's one to consider back round here. |
5/1 |
|
7th 14 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap in June; runner-up off this mark on his next two starts and another solid C&D run last month; stiff task latest and this should be more suitable; contender. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins this season, over 6f at Carlisle and over 5f here; latest Newcastle third can be upgraded and he is one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins on turf this summer (5f-6f) but he's been a long way below form in his last two starts; still unexposed on AW but he has a patchy profile and needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (13) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both turf wins have been on good to firm, the most recent in a three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f) in June; didn't get the best of passages when fifth in a race won by Royal Duke over C&D two weeks ago but ground slower than good would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his C&D win in March 2025; running well in defeat in recent starts and there is no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of it again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score on turf but he's holding his form well this season and comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap 12 days ago; in the mix once more eased 1lb. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His only win from 20 starts came when long odds-on for a C&D maiden in March 2025; there have been plenty of placed efforts amongst his 17 handicap defeats and he has slipped to the lowest mark of his career; respected. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

5f handicap wins at Redcar and Nottingham this year; close up in second at Bath and Musselburgh on his last two starts; should remain competitive. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's been up and down this season but has won twice (5f, good to firm) and was a good second at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time when denied a clear run; no surprise if this progressive 4yo makes amends today. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Northern raider who has won twice on fast ground over 5f this season; had poor track position when below form at Beverley recently; no surprise if he bounces back quickly over this slightly longer trip. |

A four-time 5f scorer in 2025; yet to add to that this season and cheekpieces are tried having beaten just two in 5f Newcastle handicap 12 days ago. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Prolific down the years but it has been 13 months since the last of them; went close off this mark at Nottingham last month but she failed to back it up at Hamilton eight days later; others preferred for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won a 5f handicap at Beverley in May off a 3lb higher mark; generally disappointing since but he's fine on Tapeta and he can't be discounted; stable also run Muker. |
16/1 |

10th 9 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |
