5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; inconsistent this season and needs to bounce back quickly from down-the-field run at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on Thursday but this C&D suits him and he has slipped to a tempting mark; can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |

11th 7 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He's well handicapped on his season's best form but this 11yo needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts and he hasn't won beyond 1m since 2018. |

Contesting this race for a sixth time and he won it back in 2020; well beaten last year but he's run some good races in defeat this campaign and a long time since this low in the weights. |

Scored three times at 1m in 2023 and he arrives in very good nick, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap nine days ago; he must enter calculations off the same mark from his inside berth. |

9yo who is 0-7 this year; however, he's run some good races and won three times in 2023; each-way contender off a reduced mark. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-20 since winning on his debut in 2021 and needs to prove he can get the job done, but he's gone close at Ripon (1m, good) and Chester (7.5f, good) this month and is also effective on fast ground; could be bang there. |

In good form last month, finishing second at Leicester (demoted to fourth due to interference) and close fifth at Ayr; might not be far away but he's 0-20 since winning on debut in 2021; has to prove he can get the job done. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

An 11yo having his 99th start but doesn't arrive in much form and would be a surprise winner. |

6th 3 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Done most winning earlier in the year and doesn't arrive in any form; on the positive side, he has three wins and a couple of seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D, which counts for something at a track that's always produced specialists. |
12/1 |

Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D. |
9/4 |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Tough sort who was third in this race on only previous run over C&D (back in 2020); good second at Ayr on Friday (1m, soft); contender. |

2nd 11 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Quirky gelding who didn't look in love with the first-time hood (retained) when beaten 7.5l into second at Ripon, though the soft ground may also have been a factor; the ability is there to go close. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Several creditable efforts this season, and she had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m4f here (did too much too soon) last time; has possibilities if she can bounce back but she's not easy to predict and all of her three wins have come on turf; cheekpieces reapplied. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 5 |

Wins have come on turf in the summer and her record on Tapeta would be mixed at best; generally been running consistently of late but over shorter and this is a different test upped from 1m1f. |

Both wins have been over 1m at Newcastle (good second there last time); 0-20 on turf, but fair second at Pontefract in June and a chance on that form. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Both wins over C&D so has to be considered after his return to form at Pontefract; on a good mark. |

11 (12) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but followed that with a poor run at Doncaster and he effectively refused to race in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at Beverley a fortnight ago; hard to know what to expect. |
28/1 |
|
11th 12 (3) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Consistency is an issue but he's on a good mark on this year's best, notably a close third at Thirsk in May; blinkers tried for the first time, which could be significant as the only other occasion he's worn headgear resulted in a Brighton win last summer (cheekpieces when trained by W Haggas). |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Hasn't added to last season's two wins (7f/1m, good/good to firm) but ran well when close fourth at Chester (good) last time on first go at this trip, beaten a length despite stumbling early on; interesting. |
