17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Merely mid-division at Doncaster (1m, good) last month but his form figures at Ascot read 222 (1m, good to firm/good; twice in big fields), with the latest of those in August and he was a good second at York (1m, good to soft) next time; has an each-way shout if leaving his latest run behind. |
12/1 |
|
10th 1 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's returned to form to finish second in these cheekpieces on his last two starts, at Ascot (1m, good to firm) and at York (1m, good to soft; won that same competitive handicap 12 months previously); solid claims. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to kick on after winning this last year (good to firm) but he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to firm) recently; won on soft ground early in career; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reserve; returned to his best form to win a seven-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last month by a neck; carries a 6lb penalty in this much hotter race and could prove vulnerable; seventh of 20 in this last year. |
16/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Regular slow-starter who needs the cards to drop right and hasn't kicked on from his placed efforts in major handicaps in the spring; however, this C&D winner has a good chance provided he's back to best. |
3/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f). |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who finished runner-up in his only previous go over C&D, but that was in 2020; exclusively campaigned over 1m these days and is on a losing run of 23, so has enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
6th 11 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
10yo whose losing sequence goes back 19 runs to 2020; ran some big races last season but seen only twice this year (both Goodwood), failing to build on comeback sixth (Linwood third) when down the field three weeks ago. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

2nd 8 (13) |
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 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who is familiar with stronger handicaps than this and he was beaten under 3l in a big field last time at Newbury (7f); won his last race at this level in May, over 1m and off the very same mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 10 (13) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful twice this summer and ran creditably when favourite last time; still on career-high mark but is a consistent sort who again holds a solid chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
This is a classier race than he's accustomed to but he's been in fine form since returning from a break and it was comfortable over C&D a month ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but couldn't put it past him. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in early May but two lesser efforts have followed and he remains without a win since 2022; raced too freely in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces tried here. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims. |

8st 11lb |
Twice well held at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since winning from 1lb lower over C&D (well behind Metallo on the first occasion); needs to bounce back in the first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Registered a Class 4 success at Chelmsford last month on third start for new yard, taking his 1m2f form figures to 421; upped a couple of grades but may have more to offer at this distance. |
