3rd 2 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made it four wins from his last eight starts when scoring at Ripon recently (5f, soft; versatile ground-wise); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and this thriving 6yo could play another leading role. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm). |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |
16/1 |

9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ran on well for clearcut success under Toby Moore at Kempton (6f, AW) a week ago and has now won three times this season; should cope quite well with the forecast slower ground here; respected under 5lb penalty. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Her strike-rate on turf is nothing special but she's 2-6 on artificial surfaces and only just failed to overhaul the front-runner at Lingfield (6f) under Toby Moore on her latest AW start; another good run is likely. |
7/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned things around with a win at Wolverhampton last month and she followed up in a Ffos Las handicap (5f, good); couldn't quite get the job done in her hat-trick bid at Lingfield (6f, AW), but that was another big run and she's only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; shortlisted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Notched a third victory of the season at Hamilton (5f) in June; three times a runner-up since but beat just one in 5f handicap at Redcar last time; this C&D winner is the sort to bounce back though. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight wins in all, including three this April-June; she's mostly continued to run with credit (with three seconds) and should be close up. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner who has finished runner-up in three of her last four starts, including at Catterick (5f) last week; should be in the mix again and she won't mind what the weather does. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Ripon (5f, good) in May but has not hit the same level since; now 2lb below that last winning mark but others have more pressing claims. |

|
6th 8 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner (good) in May, but she's not hit the same level since and was a long way below form at Redcar last time; now drops back in trip but she has something to prove and yard also runs Canaria Queen. |

Resumed winning ways at Ripon (5f) in May and comes here on the back of a good second of five there (5f) 19 days ago; this course scorer needs considering. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple course winner who also captured this event in 2025; yet to score this term but he has posted some solid placed efforts here and is best forgiven his latest C&D seventh when slowly away; can't be discounted. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice over 5f at Wolverhampton and Pontefract in April; his more recent form is not so encouraging, however, and he beat only one in 5f Ripon handicap last time; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Front-running veteran who has won 11 times; his last success was off 4lb higher at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's been disappointing since and needs to get back on track. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

8/1 |

6th 5 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Two of 11 wins have been over C&D; latest success was at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but rather disappointing since; has a bit to prove. |
