6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made most of the running to win at Nottingham (5f, good) in May, but she bled next time and has been off for 105 days since; bit to prove now off a career-high mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the best of draws but he is a hold-up performer in any case; all seven wins have come on Tapeta, including three over C&D, the latest from 4lb lower in April; beaten only a neck here a fortnight ago and capable of playing a part if they go quick enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in April and largely in good form subsequently, third of eight in 5f handicap here two week ago; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

All six wins have come over 5f including two here; has only managed to win one of his last 30 starts and needs to find something extra in the returning visor. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

All wins have been over 5f and was well held when seventh of ten over C&D (good to firm; 22-1) eight days ago; others preferred. |

4 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning over 5f but looked a shade unlucky when staying-on third over C&D on final appearance in May; respected off the same mark. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gamely gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago; up 4lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D scorer is a likely player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Chester (5f, good) in July and he's been a close second on his last two starts, most recently off this mark in a big field at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday; he's a very solid contender. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile regarding the ground; useful form when beating an improver at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September but his best turf handicap form is on that track and has more to prove following an Ayr defeat since. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Went close twice in a row this summer before winning at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago; he has a strong record at Hamilton but has also run well here and is firmly in calculations under a 5lb penalty. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Often leads; his latest three wins have come over this C&D, including on soft; 7lb higher than the June win but he hung on grimly after losing his lead here in August and has another good run in him. |

9st 7lb |
Two wins over 5f on good/good to soft in spring of 2023; a couple of fair efforts this season, including when second at Redcar last time (5f, good to firm); on a good mark; each-way chance. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Hindered by unfavourable draw at Beverley last time and is better judged on his consistent spell leading up to that; interesting in this grade off 8lb below last winning mark. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear (a good pace would help) but he's 2-4 at Doncaster; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f) last October and looked just as good on most handicap starts since; fifth of 22 in the 1m6f Ebor at York last time, with Ascending fourth as they both made late gains; player in below-par renewal. |
7/2 |

5th 15 (21) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

15th Oct 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner is now 1lb above last winning turf mark; prominent racer handles any ground; ran a couple of belters over C&D in the summer off higher marks; held lately but has to be of interest in this grade. |
14/1 |

8th 16 (12) |
26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time. |
25/1 |
|
14th 3 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Specialist at this distance, seven-time winner, the latest at Dundalk in May; has been kept busy since then; third at the Curragh on his most recent turf outing, a neck in front of the progressive Prairie Girl |
