9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who prevailed in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) in July and followed up at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; came up short on the hat-trick bid at Ascot a fortnight ago, though. |

9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who prevailed in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) in July and followed up at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; today's race will take more winning but this 5yo is clearly thriving; respected. |

9st 12lb |
Ran well in defeat on first four starts this season then held on gamely to win 18-runner York handicap (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; effectively 4lb higher here if Jack Nicholls' reduced claim is considered but ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
6f winner at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; posted another good effort when runner-up at Epsom in August; only eighth of 11 at Hamilton (6f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |

Mainly campaigned over shorter but does stay this far; 399 days off before this season; never-never fourth of seven at Musselburgh (7f) last night was probably his most positive display since; back on his last winning mark. |

Not fired in two runs back from a 399-day absence; has won at this track and he is on a handy mark so not impossible he'll bounce back, for all the trip is on the sharp side. |

Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

Hit and miss this year and although he ran a fair race at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, he doesn't look the answer this time. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Gained last two wins on Newcastle AW; has been unable to take advantage of a steadily declining mark since returned to turf but isn't out of form; respectable fifth at Hamilton most recently; could go well. |

Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Excels over C&D, only once out of the frame in 14 runs and his fourth win coming on latest start here (good), when making all from Indefensible; still well treated and can go well in the bid to repeat his 2024 win. |
9/2 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

13 starts here have yielded three wins and eight places, albeit the latest success came nearly two years ago; arrives in form after a string of solid efforts and he's likely to make his presence felt again. |

Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

Well treated on her old form but last win was over two years ago and she has form figures of 77870096 in the last 13 months; handles most ground but she has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |

21st Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Major player on her 2023 form but she went the wrong way last year; there was more encouragement in her midfield finish in a 0-72 handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago (5f, good), however, and she's considered back in these calmer waters. |

Very modest on the Flat nowadays and soundly beaten at 250-1 on hurdle debut over C&D (good) three weeks ago; it's best to look elsewhere. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Lowly rated three-time Flat winner (7f-1m2f); hasn't managed to beat too many rivals in her last three starts (1m2f-1m3f); no reason to expect better, in a refitted hood, on hurdles debut. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend. |
