Beaten about only 3l in a C&D handicap on her final run for James Ferguson and made a sound start for new trainer Richard Hughes when fourth over 7f at Leicester (soft) 15 days ago; hard to argue her mark is generous but a well-run, big-field race could suit this hold-up performer; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Posted his second win of the summer when easily making all at Hamilton (1m, good to soft) in July; it's too soon to write him off but he needs to perform much better than on his last two starts. |
12/1 |
|
12th 11 (12) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Best from the front; made all in a C&D maiden (good) in June and a Hamilton handicap (8.5f, good to soft) in July; latest York effort was a little disappointing and the widest stall could make it tricky for him to lead, particularly as there are some confirmed front-runners drawn much nearer the inside. |

9st 1lb |
Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance. |

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

Back to winning ways at Pontefract (1m) in July and has remained in reasonable form, but no obvious excuses here last time and he's now 3lb out of the weights. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (14) |

In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; inconsistent this season and needs to bounce back quickly from down-the-field run at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on Thursday but this C&D suits him and he has slipped to a tempting mark; can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He's well handicapped on his season's best form but this 11yo needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts and he hasn't won beyond 1m since 2018. |

5th 10 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

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. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

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. |

Flopped when favourite on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) 38 days ago but gelded since and he easily made all in a maiden over this C&D (good to soft) in July; this unexposed 3yo is in top hands and it will be no surprise if he plays a leading role in first-time cheekpieces. |

Half-brother to smart Al Mubhir (runs here 2.50); faded right out of it, however, when 14-1 in maiden at Newmarket (1m3f) and 16-1 in six-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, good); at least only one of today's rivals has shown markedly better form, so one to consider. |

Well-beaten fifth in first two handicaps in May/June (1m2f, good) and returns from a break with something to prove, but he's been gelded since and that may help this lightly raced 3yo tap back into his earlier promise (including on soft/heavy ground); interesting contender. |
