5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Finally off the mark in a first-time tongue-tie at Thirsk (6f) last month; said to have never travelled off her revised 7lb higher mark since and it's hard to know what to expect back on the AW. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Opened account at 13th attempt, with pushed-out success in first-time tongue-tie at Thirsk (6f, good) ten days ago; went up 7lb for that but the form was boosted when the reopposing third Great won on Wednesday. |

Not beaten far on a few occasions in the spring, but now 0-12 and cheekpieces made no difference last time; needs the addition of a tongue-tie to make a difference. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two C&D wins to his name; back to form for Ross Burdon, runner-up in his last three starts, but he's upped in class today and has it to do from 9lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Newmarket this month; should run his race but a 3lb rise for the latest defeat does ask a stiffer question of him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

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. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; denied clear run when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time and kept on for third at Thirsk (6f, good) last Saturday; it's possible he'll get going too late back down to 5f but the stiff track and strong pace will help; chance. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Newcastle winner (6f, Tapeta) the winter before last and 17lb lower than when successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June last year; down in grade, but not performing as though ready to exploit his plummeting mark and is still to conclusively prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return. |
10/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and yet to hit top form this season, fourth of nine in 6f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; more is required despite a falling mark. |

4th 9 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Handy sort whose three turf wins have all come over C&D; not firing of late, but has become dangerously well handicapped having dropped 14lb below his last winning mark. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Cheekpieces have helped this summer and he ended a losing run off 2lb lower at Chester in July; yard going well but maybe another furlong is optimal these days, especially round an easy, turning course. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |
7/2 |

4th 3 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win came over C&D last May and off a 9lb higher mark; not fired on all cylinders in 2026 but he'll be suited by the recent rain and he is one of two solid contenders for his trainer. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winner of eight races including one over C&D, but losing run up to 12 despite a slipping mark; not disgraced when fourth of 11 behind Great at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month, but he could really do with the ground easing. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins came on the AW last autumn; 1lb lower than for the latest, but he has beaten just one rival in four starts on turf; blinkers removed after one use and are replaced by cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (12) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

0-9; 33-1 when second of 11 at Redcar (7f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in May, but ran poorly over the same C&D the following month; has questions to answer back in trip; stable also runs Lord Abama. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 but she responded well to the tongue-tie when beaten 2l into second of 11 behind Mayo County over C&D (good to firm) last month; 5lb better off with the winner and a player. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of promise in 2024 and fair third at Doncaster on first run last year (7f, good to firm) but was tailed off in that race on return to action last month following wind surgery (7f, good to firm); tongue-tie now tried; others preferred. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Operated at a much higher grade in his prime; absent 615 days prior to returning to action in May and he has finished well beaten in three runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but need to see more before getting involved. |
33/1 |

9th 5 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on old form, but has shown little in two starts since returning from a long absence in May; just 1-36 on turf and hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |
