17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Regularly makes the frame but has won only once since 2021, and he's not quite the force of old; possibly more effective at 6f than 7f. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Missed a few chunks of his career and is on the decline now; remains consistent, though, is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and is being given every chance by the handicapper. |

8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance. |

Nine-race maiden; placed twice on turf this summer but she has been a shade disappointing the last twice; should be fine on AW and better drawn today than when sixth at Wolverhampton last time. |

14th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

In good form without winning in 2024 but only sixth in 6f Salisbury handicap last month; she's the sort to bounce back though. |

Scored three times, for two yards, in the early part of 2026; not in the same form since, latterly for another new stable; revival needed. |
40/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m) in March on his first start for Laura Mongan; down the field in two outings for this stable, however, and others have stronger claims; hood on and cheekpieces discarded. |

Not won on turf since his Irish days and tends to stick to the AW now; ordinary debut for his new yard recently, having been picked up for 2,000gns, and isn't obviously fancied. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track. |
9/4 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins (6f) on turf and she won well at Ffos Las (good) in August; 0-10 on AW, though, and she raced freely and hung for pressure when sixth of nine over C&D 19 days ago. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with 6f AW novice win and has performed well in all four handicaps this year, most recently when keeping-on third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; ought to make her presence felt again here. |

6f novice win on AW as a 2yo; not looked ahead of her mark in two runs this season, albeit latest Yarmouth fifth is working out; down in trip and class and could bounce back. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins last year, latterly off 8lb higher; didn't shape with obvious promise when sixth back on AW at Southwell latest but the second/third from that race have won since and he could revive back here. |
7/2 |

6th 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins to his name last year (fine here too), latterly off 6lb higher; will appreciate the return to Tapeta, having been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper following a few runs on turf; one to consider. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Back in better form (over 5f/5.5f) this month, winning AW classified event then solid second (behind a rival who was on the middle leg of hat-trick) in Wetherby handicap; has won over 6f; 0-14 on turf but holds a fighting chance. |

9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |

Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |

Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |
