Isn't the most consistent but knows how to win and shaped well after a break of over five months at Wolverhampton in March (form worked out); on a good mark and interesting. |

Lost his way in the second half of last year and doesn't boast a good record first time out down the seasons; stall 11 isn't ideal for a front-runnner either. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seems best suited by a stiff 6f, as evidenced by his two Hamilton wins in June/July; denied clear run in closing stages when keeping-on fourth over 5f on heavy ground there last month and will be fine back on Tapeta but might be vulnerable to specialists over this trip. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won a 6f handicap here (good to firm) in July off a 1lb higher mark; handles soft ground but the worry is that he might get going too late back at 5f. |

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

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 12lb |
Previous course winner who was entitled to have needed his comeback from 13 months off on turf recently; shaped well enough there and a 2lb drop sees him get in here on the ceiling mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Weakened at Musselburgh (5f, good; 5-2 favourite) when last in action 13 months ago; that sharp track (three wins) usually plays to his strengths; even allowing for this easing mark, he has plenty to prove. |
14/1 |

Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-48, but his second of eight at Catterick (5f, soft) on his penultimate start shows that he remains capable of a good effort; frame claims if the ground remains testing despite being just out of the weights and drawn low. |
12/1 |

17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say. |

She made a promising seasonal return in April but it has been downhill ever since; won this race in 2024 but she arrived in much better form; enough to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

The most recent of her five wins a came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last September; yet to match the level of April's reappearance effort in seven starts since, including when sixth behind Royal Duke over this C&D two weeks ago. |

Her last win came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 11 months ago but after a promising reappearance in April it's largely been a struggle; seventh of ten at Hamilton off 1lb higher last Friday will need improving on. |

9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |

Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |

Sole win (1-34) at Newcastle in October 2021; placed on various occasions at Wolverhampton (5f-6f) last year, and could potentially strip fitter for recent Catterick comeback; nevertheless, still has plenty of work to do with stablemate Captain Corcoran. |
