18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 150y |
9st 10lb |
Won easily at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and nicely on top last week at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft) when defying a 9lb rise; now has the same hike to deal with in what is a stronger race; however, he is riding on the crest of a wave. |

First reserve; knows how to win and ran well over 1m4f at Galway before a midfield finish back at 1m; chance if getting a run. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

5-27 on turf; now just 1lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown last October (1m2f, heavy); best run of the season when fourth of 16 over 1m4f at Galway last month; trip-versatile, but probably best at around 1m2f. |

11st 2lb |
In career-best form on the Flat this year, winning twice over 1m on Tapeta at Newcastle (latest RPR 86); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities here if he finds some fluency. |

Pleasing return from over eight months off in February; no issue with dropping back to 1m 19 days ago but proved disappointing; rather watch. |

6th 4 (1) |
6th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last win gained in C&D Class 4 two years ago; most recently runner-up in 1m2f Class 6 here off 249-day absence (beaten by Rock Armour who runs in the 5.30); player if backing that up. |
5/1 |

His last win was in April 2023 and he generally struggled in eight runs last year; has dropped a long way in the weights but he has lots to prove after 249 days off. |

9st 9lb |
C&D scorer who is without a win in over four years; returned from an absence when 28-1 and beaten over 6l at Ripon (1m2f, good) last month; on a dangerous mark if back in better form. |
4/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

C&D winner but it has been over four years since she last put her head in front; retained ability last summer but she has been absent for 366 days and others look safer. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole AW win came here and returned to form with a near miss over 1m at Doncaster where he was headed late on; same mark for this and dropping back to 7f won't hurt. |
11/4 |

2nd 6 (13) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Not entirely solid on 2026 efforts but has possibilities on best form, being a four-time Class 4 winner who is in a lower grade today; gained the most recent success 15 months ago. |
11/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Was having only his second AW start when successful at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last October and was back off the same mark when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed in this sphere and one to consider back from a short break. |

Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |

9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

Doubled his winning tally when easily disposing of three rivals from the front under Joe Bradnam in an apprentice event at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) seven days ago; still 4lb well in despite a 2lb rise, but ground softer than good would pose a question. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins here if anywhere, and his most recent success of May 2022 was gained in a C&D 0-75 off 3lb higher (good); needs to put a below-par effort at Ripon last month behind him, but that's not impossible. |
20/1 |

10th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has gained both wins at Thirsk; made the frame there (soft/good to firm) in two of last three outings; placed off 3lb higher on sole attempt here, so looks difficult to dismiss. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
3-34 on Flat and 1-9 over hurdles; the hurdles win came at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February; placed there and at Worcester (upped to 2m4f, good) on both starts since, having left David Thompson for £21,000 in between and undergone wind surgery; needs a bit extra but has to be considered. |
100/30 |

2nd 5 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Came good over hurdles for David Thompson with clear success at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and was placed off today's mark over that C&D (good to soft) the following month; changed hands for £21,000 in May and was given a wind op soon afterwards; goes without cheekpieces on this debut for Dan Skelton and has stamina to prove but should be fine on the forecast faster ground; must be considered. |
