19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won eight times on turf, seven of them over 5f, all on stiff tracks; well drawn, acts well on soft ground, and decent fourth at Beverley last time; interesting in first-time headgear. |
9/2 |

4th 9 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ran respectably over 6f at Yarmouth (stable debut) last time; gained his sole handicap success off current mark; possibilities if proving as effective back at 7f. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to predict and he's finished down the field the last two starts, but it is only four runs since he made all at Ayr (5f); 36 of his 40 starts have been on turf but he has finished runner-up over C&D; comes with risks but a player on a going day. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hard to predict and finished last of 21 at York four weeks ago, but it's only three runs since he made all at Ayr (5f, good), and he also led from start to finish in this race in 2024; comes with risks but dangerous if on a going day. |
8/1 |
|
21th 10 (5) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made all to win a 5f handicap at Ayr in July; only fourth of five at Musselburgh later that month; has run well over C&D in the past and won't mind what the weather does; one to consider. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Up and down this year and he didn't run well either side of a better effort at Ayr last month; has slipped to a good mark again but hard to fancy after his latest effort. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (1) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Posted one of his better efforts last time but isn't certain to back it up, having proved far from consistent this term notwithstanding a success (off 6lb higher) in May. |
7/2 |

6th 2 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Inconsistent this season but last two attempts in Class 5 comprise a success (off 4lb higher) and close second; drop back to this grade may have a positive effect. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

7 (10) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Ripon (5f) in July but failed to beat a rival at Pontefract (5f) or Ripon (6f) on his last two outings; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D (good to firm) two runs ago but prior to that he won at Ripon (5f, good), and he posted a respectable effort at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; he's won here four times; not ruled out. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though. |
10/1 |
|
4 (6) |
23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In-form 8yo who can boast four wins and four seconds from 13 starts here; nailed Jojo Rabbit in the final stride at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; goes unpenalised for that success and must be considered. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month before close second at Carlisle (5f, good), and he suffered a troubled passage when 3l ninth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last Tuesday; this in-form 8yo is high on the list. |
2/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally back to winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in August and followed it up with a good neck second of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; not taken lightly in his current mood. |
