1st 4 (7) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and a case can be made on that form but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Haydock only last Friday. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at York last time; now drops back in grade but he has something to prove again after a break. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower in April who went in again off his lower turf mark four weeks ago; both came for Harry Vigors in small fields and there's no reason not to expect another decent showing. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

Ex-Irish veteran who scored here (2m) last month on second Flat start for new yard, taking AW record to 3-14; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 1lb. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gained his turf breakthrough when beating five others at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) in June and it was one of his best efforts when third of 17 back there (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; considered from the same mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (16) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been over longer trips, five on the AW at Wolverhampton and the other here in June (1m4f, good to soft); only 2lb higher than for that success but he was below his best on the AW last month and now drops back in trip. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All five AW wins have been at this track, four of which were over this trip; recorded his first turf success at Doncaster in June and has run well since, which augurs well for this return to AW. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Not seen over hurdles since three mildly encouraging maiden runs (2m-2m4f) in 2024-25 season but recorded RPRs in the 80s when winning twice on the Flat this summer and could be on a good mark for handicap hurdle debut. |
11/2 |
|
9th 6 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back to form with a wide-margin win over C&D then scraping home at Newmarket (1m4f; both on good to firm) but he should have done better than he did on Kempton AW since, seeing as he's gone well there in the past. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; the runner-up has won since and he has good claims in his bid for the hat-trick, with the return to 2m no problem having finished second over this C&D in January. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |
