6th 4 (5) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All five wins at 6f-1m, the latest at Doncaster in March 2024 off 20lb lower and now on a career-low mark; has dwelt at the start on his last two runs and first-time blinkers worn last time are retained; cannot discount but losing run is offputting. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |

10st 1lb |
Consistent maiden in her first season last year; made all at Wetherby (1m, soft; off 4lb lower) on reappearance, showing improvement; may well build on that win and have a productive 2024 campaign; shortlisted. |

Consistent maiden in her first season last year, solid second off this mark at Doncaster (7f, heavy) on final outing; threatening to win a race of this nature and is one for the shortlist on reappearance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Similar weights chance to Woodstock on their Ripon form (6f, good) in August when first home on his side; gained a deserved first win of 2026 at Pontefract 12 days ago and he has a 2-2 record over this C&D (also won over 7f here) so looks primed for a good run; yard runs two. |
9/2 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; yet to strike this year but there have been several good runs along the way; on a dangerous mark and he holds each-way claims again. |
9/1 |
|
6th 15 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
A four-time scorer (including C&D on good) in 2025; 0-12 this year but arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts over 6f at Ripon and is on a fair mark, particularly if the 5lb claim of Jake Dickson (who partners him for the first time) is taken into account. |

31st May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights and is 5lb lower than when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; needs to better her three efforts since returning in March, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (11) |
6th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, the latest over 6f at Pontefract in October 2022 (good to soft); good run when second over 7f at Newmarket in November (7f, heavy) but disappointing since. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over 7f and latest was in December 2024; well handicapped on old form but he finished in rear in his final two runs in the spring and looks opposable back from four months off. |
10/1 |
|
10th 13 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 and winless in sprints since 2023; said to have hung left when well beaten on his return to turf seven weeks ago and only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |
|
13th 14 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hindered by traffic issues last time (AW); the 9yo hasn't won since 2024 but is nicely weighted, especially if Lewis Chalkley's 7lb claim is taken into account. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Disappointing at Newmarket (6f, good) last time but in good form previously, winning at Redcar (6f, good to firm) then runner-up at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); second in this in 2024 (soft) and not written off. |
12/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D last week in a race he won two years earlier; now 3lb higher and they claimed 5lb last time, so may need more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His mark continues to fall and he has lots of good form on soft and heavy ground; won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but this 9yo has struggled more recently and he needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
5 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won narrowly off his lower AW mark in March; returned from layoff with down-the-field AW run this month but combination of refitted cheekpieces and heavy rain could prompt a more dynanic performance. |
14/1 |
|
13 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won by a head at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but he's been off since finishing down the field over C&D behind Saisons d'Or in May; best watched. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |
33/1 |

8th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Signed off 2024 with 6f Redcar victory but he's yet to fire this season, cheekpieces tried when last of eight in 6f Redcar handicap in July; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

1 (3) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (soft) off 2lb higher last October; he's made no impact in three runs this year but drops in class and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; good apprentice booked and a better showing is expected, especially if significant rain arrives. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 6f handicap on soft ground at Redcar last October; just 1lb higher today but neither run last month suggested he was ready to strike. |
