9st 7lb |
A dual 5f turf winner in 2024 but she came in only seventh of ten back on the AW in 6f handicap here last month; she needs to take a step forward. |

Has form over 6f but her two wins, and three best RPRs, have come over 5f; wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest York run and she remains open to further progress; considered. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unlucky not to have picked up a handicap this season but he's now winless in three years; the switch to cheekpieces brought about a better effort last time and he's 2lb lower, but he's unproven on the AW and no certainty to repeat the dose. |
10/1 |

4th 12 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Without a victory since 2023 and not at his best of late, tried in different headgear when ninth of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; cheekpieces are reached for this time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since his 2yo days but he has posted some good efforts since, including when third of ten over this C&D in May (first-time blinkers); below his best following an awkward start last time and now tries a visor. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All six wins have been in Class 6s but he was close up in a Class 5 at Newmarket last time off 1lb higher; he was keeping on that day over 5f and now returns to 6f; respected. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
0-7 on the AW between September and April, but he has won his last five races on turf; patiently ridden as usual and led late at Brighton (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and in the mix once more. |
100/30 |

1st 1 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time turf winner who is generally reliable and was runner-up in a big field at Nottingham (6f, good) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often leads, as when beating Cairdeas and two other rivals over this C&D (good) in June; unable to reach the same level since but this is only his second course start so he might revive back here. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has inconsistent turf form (all 5f) but the pick of it, namely 2yo success and close second in June, gives her possibilities off current mark provided she takes well to AW. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
3yo who was beaten just a head on handicap debut over C&D in June (good to firm; unraced on slow ground); below that level at Hamilton and Doncaster the next twice but perhaps the return here can trigger a bigger effort. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Often leads; seven wins in 2026, mostly in sprints but also over C&D; much higher in the weights than his latest 7f win in July but he won with authority on Southwell AW last month and perhaps a further 7lb rise won't be beyond him. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Had just three AW starts and one of them yielded a C&D win; 7f stretched him at Catterick last month and he's one to consider now back down into a Class 6 handicap. |

5th 8 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; never in the hunt at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month on his return from 284 days on the sidelines; stamina for 7f still to be proven. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Big question mark over current form, having failed to beat a rival in her last four runs, and she is 0-13 since winning her first couple of starts; drop in class needs to help. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Her second to a handicap blot at Thirsk in June came off 5lb higher; she's run poorly on her last three starts though, looking a handful at Kempton 11 days ago. |

2 (1) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
ducked sharply left start, pulled hard, midfield, short of room and switched left after 2f, raced wide home turn, weakened quickly from 2f out |
