5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Form has an uneven look to it but he is capable on his day and his third at Chester (6f, good to soft) in August has been franked by the winner since; couldn't rule out. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Another good run last time at Chester where he was closing down the leaders over 6f (good to soft); returning to 7f looks a good move and he can give his running on all sorts of ground; just 2lb above last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in June on second start and again did it easily in a novice at Chester (7.5f, good) later that month; disappointing in his first two handicaps but this 3yo shouldn't be discounted in view of his significant previous promise. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Easy wins in a 7f maiden (good to soft) and C&D novice (good); made favourite for handicap debut at Musselburgh and perhaps went off a bit quick; better can be expected. |

9st 12lb |
Both wins at 6f, including Pontefract handicap (good; first start after wind surgery) in April; ran well over 7f when second at Musselburgh in June but was below her best over this trip at Chester 19 days ago; just 1lb lower. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Things didn't work out when fifth over C&D (heavy) last time but he'd twice gone close at York previously (7f, good to firm/good to soft) and he was second in a division of this race last year; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Second in a division of this race 12 months ago off 1lb lower; fine runs at York on his last two starts and another big run is on the cards. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Prominent racer; finished third at Hamilton (6f, heavy) 11 days ago but she was beaten 5l at the finish; effective at the track but vulnerable against some unexposed 3yos. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to win a 6f handicap at Carlisle (good to soft) in May; well beaten twice since, the latest a Class 5 over C&D. |

C&D win off 1lb higher in March; over 4l behind Beattie Is Back here 23 days ago and this looks a stiffer assignment. |

|
3rd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual course winner over 6f/7f, the most recent coming in March off the same mark as today; below his best in three starts since but can't be dismissed back on the AW. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One win in 12 starts but that did come on his sole start here, when landing a 7f novice (good) on his seasonal/stable debut in April; not the most consistent in handicaps subsequently, but he ran better than his finishing position suggests at Redcar last time and maybe the return to this C&D will aid his cause. |
14/1 |
|
9th 12 (15) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored on his stable debut in 7f novice at Catterick in May; has failed to kick on sent handicapping, though better signs in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Carlisle (6f) 19 days ago; needs to back it up now in retained headgear. |

3rd 1 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has found a bit extra in cheekpieces this summer and ended a losing run at Chester (7f, good) in July; went in again at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, narrowly once more, and goes on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Cheekpieces have helped this summer and he ended a losing run off 2lb lower at Chester in July; yard going well but maybe another furlong is optimal these days, especially round an easy, turning course. |
5/1 |
