Regained the winning thread at Hamilton (6f, good) last time and remains favourably treated on peak form; defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D last August and warrants respect. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Boasts a solid record over C&D, latterly when fourth to New Image from a similar draw last weekend; yard been among the winners and he's at least entitled to close the gap on 6lb better terms. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a good record over C&D; has never run on the AW off a mark this high (ran exclusively on turf since last spring) but unlucky not to have picked up a handicap this season and this is a touch easier back on Tapeta. |
12/1 |

A five-time scorer in 2025, including over C&D; runner-up in 6f handicaps at York and Redcar this summer and not ideally drawn with 14th in 6f Ripon handicap last time; not ruled out. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner who is 0-24 on turf and usually races over 6f; currently in form, however, and has frame possibilities provided the return to 5f doesn't prove an issue. |

Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Had a blip at Thirsk last month but generally reliable and was back on song with a creditable fourth of 12 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last time; this return to soft ground is no problem and his last run at 7f resulted in a strong-finishing second on Tapeta three runs back; shortlisted. |

Both wins have been over 6f on the AW; has some fair form on turf; good second on first try at this trip at Newcastle last time despite a tardy start (Kats Bob third, Kalganov fifth); a possible. |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

Versatile trip-wise having been placed at up to 1m5f, while his latest win came over 6f here in December; rather in and out since and he failed to beat a rival at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) six days ago; others safer. |

No problem with conditions and he ran his best race back from a short break when fourth of ten at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); more appealing than many off a dangerous mark. |

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark. |

9st 2lb |
A fairly useful 5f/6f winner in 2025; yet to add to that in 2026 but comes here in decent nick, staying on into eighth of 21 in 5.5f York handicap 13 days ago; can go well off a 2lb lower mark here with this return to 6f also a plus. |
6/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

He hasn't won yet in 2026 but he has looked to retain plenty of ability and his latest Pontefract second (6f, good to firm) was a solid effort; should appreciate this intermediate trip and he has a big run in him. |
