13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Usually races over 6f, runner-up at Pontefract most recently; no certainty to go one better, having failed to score for over two years and with the return to a stiff 7f presenting a question mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a good 3yo campaign but not won since; went close over 7f at Thirsk in May but neither run since has been comparable; slower ground would be preferable. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
2024 went well but no joy since; did go close behind Brighton Boy at Thirsk in May (7f, good) before struggling in a Class 2 on the AW; could be dangerous off this mark if he did get an easy lead, though that seems unlikely. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Five wins and a second from his 13 visits to Pontefract; better than ever with his C&D success 11 days ago but he is 4lb higher in a stronger race and a double-figure stall isn't optimal. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hit a rich vein of form this summer, including a pair of C&D wins on good to firm; not at best when fifth of nine at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago but his good Pontefract record makes him a dangerous one to discount. |
10/1 |

Eight-time turf winner who has won three of his last four starts, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's been as good as ever this summer and could continue on an upward curve; respected. |

27th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on all surfaces and he confirmed earlier good efforts with an authoritative 6f win on final 2yo start (soft) for Ralph Beckett; has run to similar RPRs at 7f and 1m for new yard in Qatar and looks a likely type for the return to sprinting under suitable conditions. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ninth in the Windsor Castle after winning at Bath first time out; fared best of those who raced prominently when third of nine on nursery debut at Haydock and it was a very strong nursery in which he failed to fire at York's Ebor meeting (first-time blinkers); has only raced on fast ground but he has form claims. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has been running over 7f but of more interest back at 6f and this is her first run at the trip on a straight track since running up against a success story at York (good to soft) in June; on the premises off 5lb lower if cheekpieces don't tip her the wrong way. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest strike-rate but his handicap wins have come on his last two starts, over 5f on Wolverhampton AW and at Bath, when taking advantage of a drop in the weights and the refitting of blinkers; still on a fair mark on past 6f form and bold bid likely on course debut. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
With blinkers belatedly back on he finished off best over 5f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago when they didn't hang about up front; fair shout off 4lb higher should he be as good again. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has shown considerable improvement since these cheekpieces went on, running big races in two handicaps (7f, good/good to soft) before Listed win in Germany (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; today is a much tougher test of her credentials but she was impressive last time; respected. |
10/1 |

3rd 12 (8) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ran in the Fred Darling on her reappearance; finished last in her first two handicaps but the cheekpieces worked wonders when coming from off the pace to lead late on at Haydock (7f, good); only 3lb higher and the second went on to win the Bunbury Cup; interesting as a lightly raced 3yo filly who looks to have turned a corner. |
13/2 |

1st 10 (2) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Got off the mark at the second attempt at two, winning a Kempton fillies' maiden (7f, AW); attempted Group 3 company and two handicaps since then, without making a huge impression; cheekpieces are now added and she needs to find more back up in trip. |
12/1 |
