15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Infrequent winner who's having a first ever run at beyond sprint trips at the age of seven; has been in good form on turf and has often run well in defeat round here but stamina is an obvious concern. |

Took this in 2024 and he got back on track when a head second of nine in 6f Catterick handicap 18 days ago; well in the mix nudged up 1lb. |

Dual soft-ground winner, including over C&D, who won't mind any rain; generally run well since switched from cheekpieces to a visor and holds claims in a race lacking depth. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back with Tony Carroll this summer and he has registered three sprint wins on fast turf; some lesser efforts followed but he was back on track with a solid effort at Leicester last month; Billy Loughnane booked now dropping back into a Class 6. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (5) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins on turf this season but he's struggled since scoring at Bath (5.7f, firm) in July; his rider lost the irons at the start there last Sunday but he has a bit to prove and needs to get back on track; one of three runners for yard. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple sprint winner who added two more at Bath (on firm) this summer; has course form here too but he made life difficult for his rider over C&D last month and his heart may not be in it back on this track. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (16) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't help himself by racing awkwardly last time at Brighton but has won on his last two visits here, latterly under Owen Lewis; hard to call him well handicapped but, like many in here, he has each-way claims. |
25/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |

Well treated on his best form last winter but he's been out of sorts this time around and slow starts have been an issue; plenty to prove and he needs a major revival. |
