9th 1 (10) |
19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Latest win in Italian Listed race (good; has won on heavy) last October; not yet found his feet back in Britain this year, a drop in grade not enough to help at Ffos Las in June; a recent break could have helped though and he been has dropped 14lb since May. |

4th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard. |
6/1 |
|
17th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good ground or slower; won a 5f Listed race in Italy on his final start for a French yard; big prices and finished down the field in two 5f handicaps last month; dropped 7lb for his troubles but he arrives with a point to prove. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Often leads; able to get to the stands' rail when a clear winner at Ripon (6f, good) in July on second start for the yard and, despite going back up 8lb, he's continued in good form since; involved again. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has done well since joining Tony Carroll this summer, winning at Ripon (6f, good) in July and a close second here (5f, good to soft) last time; this return to fast ground is no problem and he's a key player back up in trip. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; scored at the second time of asking for Tony Carroll when much too strong for ten rivals at Ripon (6f, good) in July; good third at Newmarket 24 days ago; drops in trip and class and looks more appealing than many. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time turf winner who is generally reliable and was runner-up in a big field at Nottingham (6f, good) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often leads, as when beating Cairdeas and two other rivals over this C&D (good) in June; unable to reach the same level since but this is only his second course start so he might revive back here. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

Won two in a row (6f maiden/5f nursery) in August but not in quite the same form since, fading when fourth of seven at Newcastle 16 days ago; having her 18th run and looks exposed. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed her sixth win in emphatic style at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) in August off 9lb lower; unproven over 1m and may need to come down the weights before she can be considered. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (13) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Fine on soft and good ground; won by 6l at Ffos Las last month (7.5f, good) but a well-held third under a penalty at Haydock (7f, heavy) and now 6lb higher; has won at 6f but perhaps needs further now. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Found her level again lately, winning for Ethan Tindall at Ayr off 6lb lower before a lesser effort at a short price next time; been given a short break since and is fine on Tapeta, so needs factoring in to the equation. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has returned to form on her last two starts, finishing third over C&D (good) then winning at Ayr (5f, good); remains well treated on her old form and she's respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Thrown in on last summer's best form and there were clear signs of a revival with her third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb and she is one to be interested in. |
10/1 |
Verdict
Heavy ground prompted an improved performance from SOUTH PARADE when she was third in a Beverley novice last month, and this attractively bred filly earns the vote on her nursery debut. Leicester winner Cypriot Diaspora has a progressive profile and is second choice ahead of the unexposed Beverley maiden winner Rogue Enforcer.[Ben Hutton]
