1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Just one win on grass (6f, good to firm) and that was over two years ago but he kept on well when beaten 4l at York in July in his latest turf run over 6f and is now 7lb lower; not dismissed in this lower grade. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Course winner who comes here on the back of a respectable seventh of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; possibilities from a falling mark. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner whose AW mark has eased after three no-shows on turf and who's now 1lb lower than when successful at Newcastle last winter; currently 3-10 for Billy Loughnane and a better showing can be expected. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Effective on AW and turf; respectable third in big field at Doncaster (6f) returned to this sphere last time; remains on a workable mark and gained last two wins over 5f. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 18 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Usually slowly away but his refusal to race at Newcastle in January was a first; won't mind getting back on the grass and he is proven in big-field handicaps; could go well at a price. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Usually slowly away but his refusal to race here last month was a first; ran okay over 7f here last week and capable of a big run but he is a risky proposition. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Found her level again lately, winning for Ethan Tindall at Ayr off 6lb lower before a lesser effort at a short price next time; been given a short break since and is fine on Tapeta, so needs factoring in to the equation. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has returned to form on her last two starts, finishing third over C&D (good) then winning at Ayr (5f, good); remains well treated on her old form and she's respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Thrown in on last summer's best form and there were clear signs of a revival with her third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb and she is one to be interested in. |

22nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |
|
7 (10) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

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. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |
100/30 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came at York when trained by Richard Hannon; denied a clear run when finishing fifth of ten at Sandown (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark but may be getting his act together. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |

Nine-time winner who scored at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but he's not matched that form since and was out the back at Newcastle last month; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs to turn things around. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Second win since joining Ruth Carr when justifying favouritism at Ripon (5f, good to firm) last month; subsequent Redcar sixth of 13 shouldn't be used as evidence that the handicapper has got him as he was first home of the seven who raced up the centre in a race dominated by far-side runners. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (12) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 2-5 since joining Ruth Carr when justifying favouritism at Ripon (5f, good to firm) last Saturday; a 4lb higher mark will make things harder but he's still well treated on old form. |
11/2 |
|
1st 9 (15) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark to make a winning start for Ruth Carr at Thirsk (5f) in August; recorded a solid fifth of 12 in 5f handicap at Beverley ten days ago; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark here. |
