29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Successful in a Yarmouth 5f handicap in week one of the Racing League; latest 6f run easy enough to overlook and he's a contender back under suitable conditions (won the 5f handicap at the Racing League meeting at this track last September). |
14/1 |
|
14th 2 (10) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
All of his five wins have been at 5f; won two in a row in Bahrain in February and he landed a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; hit a personal best with that success but this is tougher off 5lb higher and his only previous run at this trip resulted in a heavy defeat. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last July, but he's yet to fire this season and came in last of eight at Newcastle (5f) last time; tongue-tie goes on now with lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing sequence on just his second start for current yard in 5f Newmarket handicap last month; outing best ignored (suffered poor run) when sixth of nine at Goodwood since; can't be discounted. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Only seen sporadically in recent times and is tried in first-time headgear on his Polytrack debut; there's other pace in here and he'll need something close to a career-best effort back from a short break. |
8/1 |
|
18th 18 (13) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Yet another prominent racer; in good form since returning from a break but appeared to be beaten fair and square behind some of these at Newmarket's July meeting. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner who is 0-24 on turf and usually races over 6f; currently in form, however, and has frame possibilities provided the return to 5f doesn't prove an issue. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All his seven victories have come on the AW but he wasn't discredited with fourth of ten in 6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |
11/2 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |
16/1 |
|
14th 1 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Short-headed by Copper Knight at Chester (5f, soft) last month and close fourth of eight there (5.5f, good) since but well beaten in May on sole previous visit here and down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (11) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Only handicap win was off this mark last season (5f, good to firm); close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft ground; has each-way claims. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |
12/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Eleven-time winner including at Listed level; ran well on seasonal reappearance in the Listed Beverley Bullet but has failed to land a blow the last twice; 3-16 on the AW but could only manage sixth when 5-1 for this last year; needs to rediscover best. |
15/2 |
|
12th 3 (11) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in this last year (good) and encouraging Listed third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago on her belated reappearance; won on soft ground at the start of her career; her usual visor returns (left off last time) and she has leading claims if building on her comeback run. |
4/1 |
|
9 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Had a busy 2024 and notched six wins, the last of them in 5.5f Listed race at Ayr; would have real possibilities if repeating that form, although she'll need to hit the ground running after over ten months off. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On a hat-trick after 5f wins in conditions event at Beverley (good) and handicap at York (soft) in recent weeks; first Catterick visit but it's a track which should suit this strong-travelling, prominent racer; high on the list. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Several good runs for his new yard this year and likely to give his running; surprising if one, or both, of the big two didn't have his measure. |
6/1 |
|
12th 10 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (5f, good to firm) in June; ran two fine races at Goodwood's Glorious meeting and again when third behind Air Force One at York last month (travelled best); soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when second of six at Goodwood two weeks ago; drying conditions would be in his favour and he has the ability to get involved. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
String of consistent efforts before winning off 3lb lower in a less-competitive Nottingham handicap last month; found it beyond him under a penalty a few days later and, while he's fine round here, he's weighted to his best again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Right behind Accrual here before justifying favouritism at Nottingham (5f) three days ago despite an awkward start; the penalty might just find him out. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ultra-consistent and arrives following a solid effort at Thirsk (same mark as tonight; his last winning rating); boasts a good record at this time of year and this is less competitive, so his claims are obvious. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in fine form with 5f handicap wins at Pontefract and Thirsk (raced alone) recently; not disgraced when eighth of 16 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb. |
11/1 |
|
8th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |
11/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Off a reduced mark he won a 5f handicap at Pontefract (good ground) 54 days ago; still has handicapping scope off 3lb higher. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years but he retains plenty of ability and has been performing with credit this summer; likely to be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |
|
9th 15 (15) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal. |
9/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Losing run continued when fifth of 11 over C&D (heavy; favourite) yesterday, beaten just under 2l; however, one of two handicap wins came over C&D (good; acts well on soft) and he has finished second and third in the last two runnings. |

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. |
