28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Retains plenty of vitality aged ten and gamely made all over C&D (soft) last Monday, registering a tenth win at Hamilton; should remain competitive kept to this scenario, even with a 4lb penalty. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple course wins and he was a close third of 11 over this C&D (good to soft) in August; well below best in two starts since, in first-time cheekpieces in the Bronze Cup at Ayr on Friday, but he's hard to rule out back on this track; further rain probably not helpful though. |
5/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Cheekpieces on for the first time when ending a long losing sequence at Ayr (6f) in July; backed it up with a good third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) a week ago; must enter calculations back up to 6f with headgear retained. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle in January and successful again over C&D last month; poorly drawn when fourth at Southwell last time; one to consider. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner as 2yo; useful type who is 2lb lower than for his Ayr win (6f, good) in July but he hasn't been in the same form of late and it's hard to argue that a return to form is imminent. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2lb higher than when beating 16 rivals in a 6f handicap at Ayr in July; struggled since but the ability is there if this is a going day. |
12/1 |
|
12th 13 (10) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple 5f-6f winner who acts on slow ground; 0-9 in 2026 but his better efforts in that period would give him each-way claims, if the forecast slower ground proves to be advantageous. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (12) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two 6f wins earlier in career but he does most of his racing over 5f these days; some promise over that trip at Hamilton in August but he hasn't looked like coining in on a favourable mark since; remains with queries. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
He's on a dangerous mark and will be right at home if slow ground prevails; things may click again at some point but slow starts are an issue and his form has been patchy this season. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |
|
12th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned back in Bahrain since December, best efforts when placed twice over 6f; well treated on historical data but hasn't won a domestic race since 2023; returns to 7f for first time since last July. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off 1lb lower; ran well over 8.6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but not in the same form at Southwell three weeks ago; moves back up in trip with Billy Loughnane booked; contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All three wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming over 1m2f at Lingfield in April off a mark 1lb lower than today's; has been running well in recent starts and was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) two weeks ago; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been running well in that sphere this summer; remains feasibly treated off 1lb lower than for his Lingfield win (1m2f) in April and he's respected back on AW. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
He wasn't disgraced in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but Hamilton last time was a backward step; goes without headgear today and stable may hold stronger claims with Seven Questions. |
40/1 |
|
8th 2 (2) |
19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to Britain off a lofty mark having done well in Bahrain this winter; struggled initially but he didn't run badly when seventh of 25 in the Wokingham last month; wouldn't want much more rain. |
9/1 |
|
7th 15 (13) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who returned to form when fourth at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and he would have been closer granted a clear passage; effective here, and on slow ground, and he's a possible player. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
In good form on the AW at Newcastle early in 2026; had been off for four months and was very slowly away when 13th of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; can take a step forward here. |
12/1 |
|
13th 4 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in the corresponding race 12 months ago when an unconsidered 50-1 shot (after nine months off); running well on AW when last seen but this veteran may find a few stronger this time. |
