23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; on the same mark as for his Nottingham win in May; quiet more recently but this should be run to suit and his ability isn't in doubt. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins this year, latest at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower than today; among the backmarkers on his last three outings, trying cheekpieces on first occasion and a hood on latest (joining the usual tongue-tie); does without either tonight but he's too inconsistent for comfort. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins this year, the latest from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; should get a good pace to aim at, but he needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser performances; hood now added. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) in August, the first of those under Hope Regan; the handicapper came down hard, although he was still close up at Brighton two runs back; weakened at Windsor since, having held every chance. |
9/2 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; ran creditably in a better race at Brighton two weeks ago and is still in form; minor money perhaps his best hope all the same. |
9/2 |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |

On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has a poor strike-rate but went close at Ripon last weekend and holds a fighting chance in this grade; gained sole handicap win off 5lb higher. |

2nd 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Seems to handle most surfaces; multiple wins include a strike-rate of 3-5 over this C&D; he was on a hat-trick when returning here last month but below best and it's a while since he ran well off this high a mark. |
16/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's slid to a handy mark after a handful of runs on turf this season; looked an unlucky loser back on Tapeta last time, when a slow start cost her off 1lb lower, and she's high on the shortlist in a race that may set up for her. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up mare who's a five-time winner over this trip at Southwell (two previous runs here came off much higher marks); best effort of a light season came at Carlisle last time, back down from 7f, and the return to Tapeta is clearly in her favour. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No problem with conditions and he followed a close second over C&D by winning an amateur rider handicap at Catterick (5f, good) by daylight last week; 5lb higher today but he is likely to go up more than that when reassessed; key player from stall 1. |
4/1 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who was 2l fourth to Albegone at Musselburgh last month; claimed in the final stride by his old nemesis at Pontefract (again 5f, good) on Thursday; same terms and it should be close between them again. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has shown patchy form of late and was well beaten at Leicester last time but this C&D winner is on a dangerous mark, 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in May; not ruled out. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a good low draw and she's 3lb lower than when winning at Sandown last September; however, she's failed to beat a rival on her three outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
5yo who is lightly raced for her age and won twice last year (6f/5f, good to firm/good); well beaten at Haydock in June on sole run this season but may have needed that outing and is not written off today. |
