19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by AW; both turf wins on good to firm and although he's 10lb lower than when last to finish in the Gold Cup 12 months ago he has not yet indicated that he handles anything slower than good. |
33/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a losing run but he posted a very good second after wind surgery at Chester (6f) in June; went without his usual cheekpieces when last of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
25/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three poor runs to begin his turf campaign but he underwent wind surgery in June and returned to form with a close second at Chester (6f, good) four weeks ago; not certain to confirm those placings with Stratusnine. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |
16/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Short-headed by Copper Knight at Chester (5f, soft) last month and close fourth of eight there (5.5f, good) since but well beaten in May on sole previous visit here and down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
14/1 |

Only handicap win was off this mark last season (5f, good to firm); close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft ground; has each-way claims. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Mostly running well since cheekpieces were fitted in June, winning over 7f (good) in July and 6f (good to soft) in September; will probably need extra for another win, though. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has found a bit extra in cheekpieces this summer and ended a losing run at Chester (7f, good) in July; went in again at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, narrowly once more, and goes on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Cheekpieces have helped this summer and he ended a losing run off 2lb lower at Chester in July; yard going well but maybe another furlong is optimal these days, especially round an easy, turning course. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's fully 12lb lower than when going close at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last October; however, he's had an underwhelming campaign in the main this season and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lacklustre campaign in the main but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and was an encouraging seventh of 21 in a first-time visor (retained) at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday, when suffering interference and away from the main action; ran two big races here last autumn; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (15) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice a course winner, including over this trip; started his campaign with a promising run at Beverley but three lacklustre runs have followed; well handicapped if the addition of a visor sparks a revival. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-11 since winning last July on her third start and her draw could have been better today; however, she's run well to finish third on her last three starts, going very close at Bath most recently, and she's respected. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

This is less competitive than at Goodwood but she again finished comfortably held there and has had a good few chances this summer; others make greater appeal. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

Yet to win a handicap but he has been in good form this year, including when picked off late at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (winner gone in again since); each-way claims again. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight. |

Promising 2yo but he's struggled badly in 2024; has dropped 20lb but without looking like taking advantage; now tries another combination of headgear. |

Beaten under 4l when tried in this headgear combination two runs back (6f, good to firm) but was always behind at Newcastle since; continues to fall in the weights but remains opposable. |
