25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5f wins at Ayr and Wolverhampton this summer; respectable midfield finish at Musselburgh two weeks ago; patchy record at Newcastle but this is not a strong race. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner; down the field in this race the last two years but there are reasons to expect better this time, with recent form figures featuring two wins (turf/AW). |

9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Newcastle winner this time last year who's been in fine form since cheekpieces went back on, winning three times in the past month or so; latest Polytrack victory boosted by the second winning since and he's shortlisted upped another 3lb. |
9/4 |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won 5f handicaps here and at Wolverhampton last month and only failed narrowly in his hat-trick bid at Newcastle last week; 3lb well in and should make another bold bid. |

Has won 5f classified events at Wolverhampton and Lingfield on last two starts; a possible, but faces a stiffer task with a 5lb penalty in this handicap. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often leads; dual C&D winner who has dropped a fair way in the weights since her Southwell win last December; recent efforts on turf and C&D haven't approached that level, though, so she has it to prove for now. |
10/1 |

Multiple turf/AW winner but well beaten both starts following five-month break, including over C&D last time; still to show soft ground is ideal and, although Oisin Murphy rides, others appeal more. |

27th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins on the AW this year, the latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in May; not the easiest to predict, though, and has followed that success with two lesser efforts; not quite sure what to expect. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout. |
