19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-5 here but runner-up the once; won off this mark at Salisbury in July and back to form in new blinkers at Brighton (fourth); the obvious concern is that all eight wins have been at 6f or 7f. |
8/1 |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two C&D wins, both on good to firm; narrow winner of a 7f amateur jockeys' race at Salisbury in July and although lesser efforts over 1m have followed, he has possibilities back at 7f; new blinkers replace a visor. |
33/1 |

Popped up in an amateurs' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) but well beaten twice since; unplaced in the corresponding race 12 months ago; others appeal more. |

9st 11lb |
7f specialist who made all at Doncaster (good to firm) in August and ran just as well when second at Thirsk three weeks later; edging up the weights but again likely to be thereabouts. |

0-9, but she ran one of her better races when third of nine over C&D in September; off for 11 weeks since, but holds each-way claims if returning in the same form. |

0-8; second over 7f on turf last year but well held in three handicaps this season, the last two in headgear; bit to prove after her effort at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time. |

Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |

4 (1) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed he was no back number when landing his third course win (7f) off 4lb lower last month; more required here but dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
9yo who recorded his ninth AW win when landing a Kempton handicap (7f) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he remains well treated on his old form and two of his wins have been over C&D; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time AW winner who scored on Polytrack at Lingfield (7f) in April but he's been well below that form in four subsequent runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs a major revival on this drop back in grade. |
16/1 |
