26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |

10st 2lb |
His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |

Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July 2025; well held in just two outings since, although the fact he went off at 2-1 for his Thirsk reappearance four weeks ago suggests a lot better was anticipated by his leading stable; it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' are prepared to give him a second chance. |

10st 1lb |
Dual 1m3f/1m5f scorer at Hamilton last summer; lightly raced since and came in a well-held fourth of six in 1m6f handicap at Carlisle last month; needs to bounce back. |

9st 2lb |
Won maidens on the Flat and over hurdles last year for Noel Meade; sold for £70,000 this May and his second run back, when running on well for a 2l defeat at Chester (1m4f, soft) two weeks ago, augured well. |

Won maidens on the Flat and over hurdles for Noel Meade; sold for £70,000 in May; needed to show more on yard debut (1m4f AW) to be seriously considered here. |

9st 11lb |
Fair ex-Irish maiden; yet to really fire for his current yard and came in a well-held tenth of 12 in 11.5f Haydock handicap last month; cheekpieces are reached for on his Tapeta debut. |

Fair form in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh in 2025 and for his new handler in May; gelded since coming in a creditable last of three in 1m4f Beverley novice; can't be dismissed. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Over two years since her last win but she's on a dangerous mark and hasn't been far away in her last three races, albeit over further (2m/1m6f); she does look vulnerable at this trip and was well beaten in her previous visit here. |
8/1 |
Betting Forcast
7/2 Pinatique, 10/1 Sax Appeal, 3/1 Sudu, 9/2 Talismans Time, 16/1 Mick Collins, 12/1 Hamadhan, 7/2 Arrange
Verdict
None of these can be ruled out but Sir Mark Prescott’s French recruit PINATIQUE made a positive start when fourth at Newbury recently and can build on that to give the yard another winner. Roger Varian’s Sudu could take a big step forward and emerge as the main danger now the headgear is discarded, although Arrange and Talismans Time also need factoring in.[Peter Entwistle]
