16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field at Southwell last time but that was a rare AW start; prior to that he was an unlucky runner-up at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) and he won this race on heavy ground in 2024; finished fourth last year; key player. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run is up to 13 but he went close at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in July and backed that up with a good second at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher back on AW and he should be in the thick of things again. |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |

On a losing run but was only beaten 3l at Windsor last time (1m, good) and the winner went in again at Doncaster last weekend; handles this ground and should go well. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Spent nearly all of his long career with Ed Dunlop but lost his form in 2025 and has not staged a recovery in his two starts for new yard this term; well down the weights but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since, including fourth (Star Start second) in a similar race at Ripon (1m3f, soft) under Daniel Perrrin on Monday. |
7/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since including when a 2l fifth of 11 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time; should be in the mix again and he's versatile ground-wise. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f here (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts since but hasn't been helping his cause with slow starts (also soon off bridle and detached latest); the much longer trip will allow him more time to catch up if doing something similar this afternoon but his ability to see it out has to be taken on trust. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent over 1m this term for new stable; won at Pontefract in April and Ayr in September; ran respectably in big field at York most recently; out of 1m2f scorer but doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip. |
11/1 |

Kickstarted 2026 with a 1m Pontefract win (good to soft; has also won on soft) off 1lb higher in April; pair of respectable thirds back there (good/good to firm) in July and considered back from a two-month break on ground which suits. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Had been knocking on the door in maiden hurdles before running out a good winner from the front at Galway last month in first-time blinkers; track is likely to suit him well and will take beating if similar tactics are employed. |
5/2 |

1st 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner is 0-12 over hurdles but has finished runner up on five occasions, including in this last year; good second at Punchestown in June but was below par on latest in a Sligo novice; could go well if the new blinkers provide a spark. |
