20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Relishes an uphill finish and has seven wins at Hamilton and one at Pontefract; hasn't been in the best of form since his seasonal debut and this track unlikely to play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
16/1 |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since May; won three times last autumn (good to soft/soft) and is below his last winning mark; capable of a big performance. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
40/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f at Newcastle in 2024 but winless since; close-up fourth there at a big price in March but has struggled in three starts since, all at Newcastle; returns to turf with a bit to prove. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

Very opposable on the balance of his chase form, especially from 7lb out of the weights. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles but has very shaky record over fences in recent years; pulled up at Cartmel one month ago and now 0-13 in this sphere; 2lb wrong today; too risky. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is often slowly away but registered a sixth win at Newcastle when seeing off 12 rivals in a classified race over this trip in July; however, he was always behind in a 1m course handicap since and has been beaten in his last 11 handicap attempts. |

Veteran who gained the last five of his 13 wins here (7f-1m); not firing on all cylinders in recent weeks, though, and needs to up his game. |
