1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins and four placed efforts from 12 visits to Newcastle; he has been in fair form this year and his latest Redcar effort wasn't as bad as the distance beaten suggests (third of the seven to race stands' side); big run on the cards back here. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Notched a fifth success of 2025 in this contest; made the frame for the fourth time this season with fourth of 14 in 1m Southwell handicap 15 days ago; well in the mix once more with cheekpieces reapplied. |

Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |

9st 6lb |
In consistent form in the spring when finishing a close second five times, including over C&D, as well as winning a 1m classified event at Newcastle; however, he hasn't been in the same form since back from a break, drastically so last time out; others are much preferred. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won so well here in July that he went up 7lb to a career-high mark, off which he was only fourth a month ago; that was under a 3lb claimer as well; might be vulnerable. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Course win number four when a decisive winner over 7f on stable debut in August; 7lb rise sees him on a career-high mark, though Jack Nicholls claims 3lb; clear claims if able to hold his form. |

All three wins came over 7f/1m here last year, the latest from 3lb lower; has a bit to prove now back with his former trainer (who owns him) after six months off; market may be revealing. |

Veteran five-time course winner who's still capable of being competitive, as he showed when second to Urban Dandy in a classified here (1m) a month ago; the return to handicaps asks for a bit more. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who caused a 80-1 surprise over C&D four weeks ago following a six-month break, making all to notch his 12th course success; isn't certain to have things his own way in front this time but can't be dismissed off 2lb higher. |

1st 9 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |

Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit. |

Gave good account when second at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 11 days ago and is also suited by this C&D but his strike-rate now stands at 0-32 and he's not the percentage call. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
