2nd 6 (7) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner as 2yo; useful type who is 2lb lower than for his Ayr win (6f, good) in July but he hasn't been in the same form of late and it's hard to argue that a return to form is imminent. |

6th 8 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Only 2lb higher than when beating 16 rivals in a 6f handicap at Ayr in July; struggled since but the ability is there if this is a going day. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |
12/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

Still seeking a first turf win after 17 attempts and he's struggled on the grass so far this year; others are more convincing. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Strong at the finish when repelling stablemate Ramazan in the Great St Wilfrid five weeks ago; no obvious excuse when midfield at York off this mark one week later; stable may have stronger claims elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
He had been bubbling away nicely prior to enjoying his finest hour in last week's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good), digging deep to hold off a smart stablemate; 6lb rise takes him into new territory but he ran well over C&D last month and there could be more improvement lurking. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins have been over 5f on AW, two over today's course; hasn't fired on his last two starts and down to a career-low mark; has another change of headgear and other runners are more persuasive. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a classified stakes and a Yarmouth handicap (both over 5f on good to firm) earlier in the summer; not so good last time (6f); all four wins have been on AW, including over C&D; should go well. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; beaten favourite in two 5f handicaps on fast ground this summer but he has still run with credit; stays 6f but still seeking a first win at the trip. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored over C&D in December off 2lb lower and landed his tenth career win at Bath (5f, good) in April; last of eight though over C&D when last seen and vulnerable to younger rivals. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has a soft-ground C&D win on her record; well handicapped on this year's best but she has a wide stall to contend with and she needs to step forward from her recent Catterick fifth. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to action with a win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and she ran a cracker at Beverley one month later; not so good twice since and a lower draw would have been preferred. |
10/1 |
|
5 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider. |
