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. |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Veteran with a splendid 17 wins to his name; one of them came over C&D but he's probably better elsewhere and he beat only two home here ten days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (4) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who was completing a summer hat-trick when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) in August; back in form when third over that C&D (soft) three weeks ago and he's already down to his last winning mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

Has lacked consistency this term and finished only eighth here most recently; defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D last October (sole AW win) and has a good chance if back to that form. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win was in an Irish maiden 16 months ago but he's very well treated on his best form and was back on track with a good third at Leicester (7f, good to soft) ten days ago; same mark now back down in grade; in the mix. |

in touch with leaders, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, briefly went second inside final 110yds, weakened towards finish, just held third |

10th 2 (12) |
25th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won 7f maiden in Ireland as 3yo; modest form in 7f and 1m handicaps for both yards in Britain, despite dropping down the weights; switches to AW under a cloud but from an excellent family and his dam won her only AW start so not impossible he will improve; visor refitted. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to be too enthused by this summer's turf efforts but his AW mark has come down with it and this five-time course scorer is well treated if revved to go after 102 days off. |

9th 1 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |
|
11th 9 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November but he's found things tough since including in two runs for new yard this summer; now back on last winning mark but sole turf win was three years ago and others are more convincing. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November, but he's struggled since and was tailed off on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip. |
9/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Hit with a sharp rise in the weights after running away with a 0-55 here last backend and has struggled since, including in one go over this far; has moved yards yet again (new trainer also runs Shopaholic) which needs to have helped. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Made a successful debut at Beverley (7f, good to firm) in May, but not built on it in four starts since and particularly disappointing on a soft surface the last twice; makes his AW debut in a first-time visor, but others make greater appeal. |
16/1 |

27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Won a 7.5f maiden here on debut (good to firm) and fair runs in handicaps over 7.5f and 1m2f on next two starts (below par on good to soft last time); drop back in trip may suit and a possible. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is 2lb lower than for his last win (8.6f here in June) and fully effective over C&D; not solid but couldn't discount with confidence. |
14/1 |

2 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-10 here but scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; campaigned over shorter since March and won again at that venue (8.5f) in June; case to be made now he's back on that winning mark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Retains a fair chunk of ability aged nine but all of his 2025 AW form is at Wolverhampton, winning twice; not sure quite what to expect back elsewhere. |
20/1 |
