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 |

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. |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in August; never dangerous in the Portland three weeks ago but this is more manageable and he finished second in this race last year off a 5lb higher mark. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back up 3lb but that's less of a concern than the stiffer opposition. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins over 5f; has a hold up style which dictates that he needs things to fall right but he's now 8lb lower than when second to Roach Power at Ascot (5f, soft) last autumn and he didn't run too badly in a series final at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; considered with Roger Teal among the winners. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Tremendous servant with 11 wins for his current yard and three for his previous stable; usually runs over 5f but has won over C&D; finds it tough on the top tracks nowadays but was runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and looks on a workable mark. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (7) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Struggled in a Class 2 at Ascot last time but he had run well in four of his other five starts this season; on a competitive mark and seems fine on most surfaces. |
7/1 |
|
8th 14 (14) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

He has run well in four of his five starts this season, over 6f (here) and 5f, but this looks a stiff task. |

2nd 9 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this in 2024 (good) and fourth of 16 last year (soft); went close at Newmarket (5f, good) last month and, although this 8yo wasn't seen to best effect when third of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) eight days later, he's firmly in calculations back at Doncaster. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific turf winner who scored at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at Sandown last time; has something to prove again and he's 0-7 on AW; visor removed. |
9/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June and his subsequent third of six at Lingfield (5f) was perfectly respectable given he is 0-7 on the AW; handles soft ground well and should play a part if things pan out from the rails draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by a whisker in blanket finish over C&D last week, taking AW record to 4-19; that was a timely success in a qualifier but he faces a stiffer assignment under 5lb penalty in this series final. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Spent most of the season over 5f and generally proven consistent on turf; fine on the AW and is capable off this mark, given a third try in a visor in place of the usual blinkers. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

In-form 9yo whose last four runs have been over C&D; failed narrowly under a penalty two weeks ago (behind Fifty Nifty) but 1lb lower here and should be involved. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C&D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty. |
