26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Three more wins this year (including C&D on soft) and last Saturday's sixth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr was another creditable effort (second of 12 in his group); the fact he's finished in the first three (including four wins) on eight of his ten visits to Haydock makes him a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

6th 12 (23) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Respectable but unavailing effort in the Bronze Cup two years ago; in marvellous form this year, adding three wins at 5f (soft and good to soft), but he couldn't pull off another one at Haydock recently off a career-high mark; has more to do back at 6f. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Gelded after Musselburgh success (5f) in July; has remained in form, respectable sixth of 24 in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f) most recently; still well handicapped on 2yo achievements. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins for this yard include a soft-ground success at Doncaster just under a year ago; went close at Pontefract in June and the door opened again when getting up late at Newcastle (again 5f, AW) last Thursday; hasn't won off a mark this high since 2022 but it's not hard to see him going well on his first visit to Beverley. |
13/2 |

1st 4 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D win off 1lb higher last November; retains all his ability as a 7yo and he is a major player back on Tapeta. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Probably best at 5f and went down by only a head at Pontefract five weeks ago; had previously shaped well when fifth in a big field on this course; trainer has won this race three times in the last eight seasons and Johnny Burke looks a positive jockey booking. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |
10/1 |
|
9th 16 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Has registered her two handicap wins on left-handed, turning tracks; creditable third to Copper Knight back at Chester last time; less appealing on this stiff, straight course in first Hamilton visit. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

C&D winner off 4lb lower mark last September (good to soft); some fair runs this term following Wolverhampton win in March, including when fourth over C&D last week in retained cheekpieces; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

C&D winner as a 2yo; improved to win a 5f AW handicap in March and she has run to a similar level on occasions since; on a winning mark and the addition of cheekpieces could give her a lift. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |
5/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Twice went close in June (5f, good to soft) and he ran well once more when close seventh of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; could be in the shake-up. |

Drawn in stall 9 when making all over C&D at the May meeting; up and down since but he is well drawn, on a winning mark and won't mind what the weather does; talented apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Chester (5f, good) this spring and two of his last three defeats have come in very big fields at the major festivals; ran well to be beaten a short head in between and he shouldn't mind any easing of conditions; mark okay and could go well back down in grade. |

Made all at Chester this spring and always prominent when narrowly denied in a small field at Sandown latest (5f, good; second run in cheekpieces); probably worth taking on, with consistency not his forte. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won soft-ground maiden in Ireland as a 2yo; winless since but he hasn't been far away in some good 5f handicaps this year, including over this C&D (good to soft) in August; a subsequent defeat at Beverley may have come too soon and he should be competitive in this company; now blinkered. |
9/2 |

8th 4 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Ex-Irish (one win); has started to threaten for this yard and he wasn't beaten far when fourth of 11 at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) last Friday; dropped a further 2lb and he won't mind what the weather does; considered. |

Seven Newcastle wins to his name last year (fine here too), latterly off 6lb higher; will appreciate the return to Tapeta, having been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper following a few runs on turf; one to consider. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won six times on AW last year; has just one success on turf (good to firm on his debut in 2022) but he was placed on both starts here and last time's third of seven at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) was a solid effort; regularly stays away from ground worse than good so probably doesn't want any rain, which is forecast. |

Back to form when taking advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at Chester (6f) next time but good ground offers a plausible excuse and this stiff 5f will suit; confidence would increase with every drop of rain. |
