30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
7f handicap winner in 2024 but he scored twice over 5f at Pontefract (soft) that autumn; no wins last year and he suffered heavy defeats when failing to beat a rival in two starts over 6f this term, including in today's returning cheekpieces; career-low mark. |
33/1 |

12th 11 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and he reappeared with a heavy defeat over this trip at Redcar (last of 11) in May; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a major revival after another break; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |

Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |

6th 3 (2) |
19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just touched off in the 2024 running; has had some tough weights tasks since reassessed for his local Grade 1 win in Bahrain during January but he wasn't far away in the Ayr Silver Cup last month and this is a drop in grade from last time; return to 5f will suit; visor refitted. |
9/2 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D scorer; below par this season after a 5f win in Bahrain in January until much better signs with seventh of 23 in Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago, when third in his group; likely player off a 2lb lower mark. |
16/1 |
|
7th 20 (19) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner on a range of surfaces, including heavy, but he's still reeling from a steep rise in the weights following a local Grade 1 win in Bahrain during January and was nearer last than first at York last month. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Had just three AW starts and one of them yielded a C&D win; 7f stretched him at Catterick last month and he's one to consider now back down into a Class 6 handicap. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; never in the hunt at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month on his return from 284 days on the sidelines; stamina for 7f still to be proven. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped and although he is now 0-19 for this yard, he has run several good races in defeat; latest Wolverhampton second was one of them and he is more appealing than many. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some good runs during his losing streak and did well to finish second at Bath in the penultimate one after starting slowly; his sixth of 17 back there was in a competitive race. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (17) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

On a losing run and last two defeats were in races won by Legendsoftheland and Geemann; however, did well to finish second last time after a slow start and not without hope. |

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 |

1st 2 (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. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner who is 2lb lower than when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last September; kicked off this season with promising fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) but patchy form across his three outings since. |
9/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |
