2nd 9 (1) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; readily beat Marvelman to win the Group 3 Chipchase at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June and was Almeraq's closest pursuer in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, soft) last month; should give his running again but has just over 4l to find with the hot favourite. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
5yo who has had a few interruptions in his career and returned from latest absence with a win in the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; has won on soft ground; ran well for a long way when eighth in the Group 1 City Of York (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and could benefit from the return to sprinting, but others have more substance to their claims. |
11/2 |
|
8th 5 (13) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Strike-rate of 5-8 and long absences are a feature in his profile; back from another to produce career-best form in beating Marvelman at Newcastle in June (6f AW) but he'd be no certainty to confirm those placings on 5lb worse terms, while there are plenty of others to worry about; on the plus side, he remains a relative unknown quantity and trip/ground will be fine. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He's dropped to a favourable mark and there is every chance that he will exploit it at some point, but he was a soundly beaten fourth of eight behind Belsito at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago and has work to do here. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Encouraging return to turf when never-nearer close fourth at Ripon (6f, good to soft; has won on soft) in April and he wasn't far away in a big field back there in August; on a favourable mark now; not far away. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (18) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C&D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has become well handicapped, but also expensive to follow since his last win in September 2024; made no show in his only previous attempt over this far. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (7f-7.4f); on good mark and can cope with combination of drop back to 6f and return to Tapeta but others have less to prove. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two attempts over C&D, including off 2lb higher in this race last year, comprise his only wins for Craig Lidster; effective when fresh; interesting returned to this scenario on stable/seasonal debut. |
14/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced front-runner who showed promise on turf last summer and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February; well beaten the last twice, however, most recently at Ascot on Wednesday; has to get back on track. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a four-runner Wetherby handicap in June last year (1m2f, good to firm) but mainly disappointing since; on a good mark now, but plenty to prove. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three Flat wins, latest off 7lb higher at Wetherby in June 2025 (1m2f, good to firm); well beaten on first two runs (following a break) this term, but shaped better on AW latest (1m3f); still has a bit to prove at present. |
14/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last June off a 5lb higher mark; however, he's struggled in four starts since and now has a bit to prove; down in class. |

Outstayed over 1m6f when last seen seven months ago; has form figures of 5112 at 1m4f, both wins on good to firm; on career-high mark but may improve further over this trip. |

8st 8lb |
Triple-figure odds all three starts; tailed off on first two (1m2f and 1m4f) and although tenth of 12 here (7f, soft) last time was better, others bring far more solid claims to this his handicap debut. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was a below-par ninth of 13 in 1m Southwell handicap 53 days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
12/1 |
|
3 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f Catterick maiden as 3yo but not much in it as to whether she's better at that trip or 6f; has had some good results on Tapeta elsewhere but she tackles 1m for the first time with something to prove; cheekpieces discarded. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seen more often at 7f than 6f in handicaps and has yet to win one but she's had some close shaves over 6f, on Tapeta and turf, as at Thirsk 13 days ago; should go well if handling this new surface. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Third here (7f, good to soft) on debut in April but pretty disappointing since, last of 11 at Nottingham (1m, good) when she tried cheekpieces on latest outing; now has blinkers. |

11th 7 (4) |
13th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Debut third hasn't worked out too well and she hasn't built on it twice since; up in trip for her handicap debut and now tried in cheekpieces but not sure she's thrown in. |
