3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won a division of this race last year; back to form with a bang to easily take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in August; two poor efforts have followed but no surprise to see him bounce back with the Tim Easterby team in great form. |

9th 7 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11yo having his 116th career start; very much had the run of things when scoring by 4l at Carlisle (1m1f, good) and ran a shocker next time; opposable on the balance of this year's exploits. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole success in last two seasons came at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; possibly unsuited by soft ground when fading into fifth of eight at Ayr two weeks ago; ran well the time before and may rebound. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 11lb lower but he's 0-11 since and has been out of sorts this season; has plenty to prove and slow starts have been an issue in three of his last four runs. |

7th 1 (7) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 9lb lower but he's 0-10 since that last success and has been out of sorts this season; has bit to prove and he needs to break much better than last time. |

4th 1 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; little to cheer for new stable, failing to build on a slightly better run at Carlisle when always behind at Newcastle eight days ago; fitted with tongue-tie. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish maiden; little to cheer for new stable, albeit latest Carlisle effort (1m1f, good; first run after a wind op) was a step back in the right direction; another 3lb lower today; check betting. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Stable debut when sixth of eight at Carlisle (1m1f, good; beaten 10l) in August; showed a bit more when ridden by Harvey James and fourth of six over 1m6f at Catterick (good to soft) a fortnight ago; interesting to see what happens next on this massive drop in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
0-5 on the Flat in Ireland, his best effort (RPR 73) when fourth at odds of 200-1 in a 1m4f Dundalk maiden; low-key debut for Nicky Richards, and has eased another 3lb in the weights; stamina reserves are inconclusive. |
25/1 |

6th 4 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Little impact in two 10f Irish handicaps (good to yielding/AW; hooded on the first occasion); makes his stable debut and it's still fairly early days; market may reveal more. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |

5th 6 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Successful off 7lb higher in this race two years ago but was in better form at the time; failed to beat a rival latest outing; admittedly has a good chance if taking well to new headgear. |
10/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Course winner who is on a losing run but it was a fair effort when fourth to Sanafi Zabeel at Hamilton (8.5f, good) last time; gets a 5lb weight pull for that 2l defeat and the forecast rain would be welcome; respected. |
