17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed hat-trick here (1m) in September but surged up the weights and was last of six at Newcastle two weeks ago; bit to prove after that last run. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On a roll after three wins on the bounce, the latest by just under a length at Soutwell (1m, AW); 1lb well in with a penalty, though he is 0-3 here without a place. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (7) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Escaped a penalty for his win in a Musselburgh apprentices' event (1m) this month when he followed up, with not a lot to spare, at Wolverhampton (7f; 13-8 favourite) on Friday; still ahead of the handicapper carrying a 5lb penalty for that latest win; chance. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
AW maiden winner in 2023; creditable third over 7f at Lingfield (AW) last time; seems just as effective at 1m; less exposed than most; a possible. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since his debut as a 2yo but has finished third in two starts since tongue-tie/cheekpieces went on, including when drawn wide at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; makes the shortlist off this 1lb lower mark. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner; 2lb lower than when landing a Doncaster handicap (7f, good to soft) in May; not disgraced when third over C&D on his penultimate start and is not ruled out each-way. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Retains vitality aged nine, having won over 7f in May; ran respectably over 8.5f last time; versatile sort who has scored twice over 9.5f on AW and has a good strike-rate at classified level; respected. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A repeat of the form of either May's Doncaster 7f win (good to soft) or last September's second over today's C&D (soft) would see him go close; over four years now since his sole win on fast turf, however. |

3rd 9 (14) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his time with Gemma Tutty under a cloud and he has found it tough going for his new yard in 2026; now tried in blinkers (well beaten in one run in cheekpieces); risky. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual 7f winner who's pulled hard and not seen it out in three previous tries over this trip; shown very little in five runs for his current yard in any case. |
25/1 |
|
11th 8 (13) |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
11-race maiden who was only beaten 3l when seventh of 13 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month; his outings either side of that were very poor, however. |
33/1 |
|
11th 13 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 and he's been well held since finishing runner-up in a maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September, including when fading into seventh at Beverley (7.5f) two weeks ago; drops into a classified. |
20/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

No wins in nine and well behind in six races since finishing second in a maiden last September; has tried cheekpieces and a visor in last two races. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the 14th attempt when making all over C&D (Barleybrown second) on recent stable debut; back up 3lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden (0-13); with the now-retired Noel Wilson when runner-up at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm; 10-1) in July; ran poorly (last of seven) back there next time; returns to AW for first start for Phil Kirby. |
9/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Ran his best race of the season when close second in a low-grade C&D handicap last time (good to firm); has a stiffer task up in grade here. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Outran 33-1 odds when second at Redcar (1m good to firm) last month but two lesser efforts have followed, the latter over C&D on Wednesday; now 0-10; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Six of his nine starts have been at Redcar, his best effort being there on his penultimate start (1m, good to firm); not disgraced over C&D in July so can't be dismissed. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Step forward when runner-up to the thriving Saxon Grace at Redcar (1m; 33-1) latest; today's rival Here Comes Louie was favourite for that race (ran disappointingly); interesting to see if he can confirm that superiority on AW debut. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has won in a visor and might have won in the new blinkers at Beverley (handicap over an extended 7f) had she not been short of room when it mattered; respected, although soft ground would be a worry. |
7/2 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

Showed improved form when a visor was first fitted; no further progress kept to turf since but today's change of headgear may have positive effect. |
13/2 |
Betting Forcast
4/1 King Sharja, 11/4 African Spirit, 12/1 Back From Dubai, 10/1 Ice Show, 20/1 Bantz, 20/1 Ryefield, 7/2 Walk On Walk On, 12/1 Itszaboy, 4/1 Alices Influence
Verdict
With the tongue-tie and cheekpieces retained, AFRICAN SPIRIT may build on his latest effort and belatedly double his tally. Walk On Walk On, who ran well over C&D last time, is second pick ahead of King Sharja and Alice’s Influence.[Steve Boow]
