30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In-form 8yo who can boast four wins and four seconds from 13 starts here; nailed Jojo Rabbit in the final stride at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; goes unpenalised for that success and must be considered. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month before close second at Carlisle (5f, good), and he suffered a troubled passage when 3l ninth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last Tuesday; this in-form 8yo is high on the list. |

9th 11 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally back to winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in August and followed it up with a good neck second of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; not taken lightly in his current mood. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
It was a seventh success when making all and just holding on at Ripon (good to firm) in July; only 1l behind Albegone at Musselburgh (also 5f, good) last month; bit below that form at Redcar a fortnight ago but not hard to see a bold bid under star amateur Henry Callan. |
4/1 |
|
8th 13 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Ripon (5f) in July and backed it up with a solid third of six to Albegone at Musselburgh (5f) three weeks ago; also took this in 2024 so he's a likely player. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back on song when third at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and he built on that to win at Ripon (5f, good to firm); he's gone up just 2lb for last time and could be a contender once more. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No problem with conditions and he followed a close second over C&D by winning an amateur rider handicap at Catterick (5f, good) by daylight last week; 5lb higher today but he is likely to go up more than that when reassessed; key player from stall 1. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who was 2l fourth to Albegone at Musselburgh last month; claimed in the final stride by his old nemesis at Pontefract (again 5f, good) on Thursday; same terms and it should be close between them again. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has shown patchy form of late and was well beaten at Leicester last time but this C&D winner is on a dangerous mark, 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in May; not ruled out. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Found her level again lately, winning for Ethan Tindall at Ayr off 6lb lower before a lesser effort at a short price next time; been given a short break since and is fine on Tapeta, so needs factoring in to the equation. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has returned to form on her last two starts, finishing third over C&D (good) then winning at Ayr (5f, good); remains well treated on her old form and she's respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Thrown in on last summer's best form and there were clear signs of a revival with her third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb and she is one to be interested in. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tailed off on stable debut last August and same story at Catterick in June on sole run this season; plenty to prove but she's dropped down the weights and her trainer is in fine form; one to watch in the betting. |
16/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Richard Hughes; bought for 14,000gns last July; 11-race maiden; tailed off on only start for this yard (second run after wind op) last August; off since; best watched for now. |
25/1 |
|
7 (4) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Wouldn't settle on her final start for Richard Hughes, so any benefits of the preceding wind surgery remain undetermined; sold for 14,000gns since; out of a 7.5f winner, but hasn't shaped as if in need of further than sprint trips this term. |
