3rd 3 (1) |
16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time turf winner who is generally reliable and was runner-up in a big field at Nottingham (6f, good) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot. |
9/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often leads, as when beating Cairdeas and two other rivals over this C&D (good) in June; unable to reach the same level since but this is only his second course start so he might revive back here. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unlucky not to have picked up a handicap this season but he's now winless in three years; the switch to cheekpieces brought about a better effort last time and he's 2lb lower, but he's unproven on the AW and no certainty to repeat the dose. |
10/1 |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Without a victory since 2023 and not at his best of late, tried in different headgear when ninth of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; cheekpieces are reached for this time. |

9th 6 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since his 2yo days but he has posted some good efforts since, including when third of ten over this C&D in May (first-time blinkers); below his best following an awkward start last time and now tries a visor. |

9st 6lb |
Three course wins, the most recent from a 1lb higher mark (6f, good; 5-1) in April; runner-up at Beverley (5f) in June and thereabouts on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2l fourth) three weeks ago; likely to give her best; chance. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Speedy mare but has done all of her winning on turf, albeit she has only had five opportunities on AW; back to her last winning mark but will be vulnerable to late closers. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner; runner-up twice this year and his latest Beverley run is easily excusable as he was making headway up the rail when badly impeded inside the final furlong; dropped 1lb for his troubles; contender. |
9/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
A dual 6f winner last summer; yet to add to it this summer but placed for the fourth time with second of nine in 6f Southwell handicap last month; well in the mix again for stable that has enjoyed plenty of success in this. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only sixth at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time but placed over 5f on his other three starts this season; his three wins have come over 6f and he could have a part to play back up in trip; effective here. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who's back on a career-high mark but who arrives in good form, having run well when way out of her depth last time; goes on the shortlist. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner in July and better form when seeing off 19 rivals at Ayr (5f, soft) last week; biting off more than she can chew here though. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Third over C&D on Boxing Day when bidding for a five-timer at this track; still on a competitive mark and her quiet last run was on turf after a break of 158 days; better can be expected back here. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Absent since a respectable effort on Boxing Day when bidding for a Wolverhampton AW five-timer; only 1-9 on turf and is 12lb higher than last attempt in this sphere. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

In top form at present, winning her second on the trot, over C&D (fourth course win) last Tuesday; carries 5lb penalty but every chance there is more in the tank and a hat-trick is a real possibility. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has a soft-ground C&D win on her record; well handicapped on this year's best but she has a wide stall to contend with and she needs to step forward from her recent Catterick fifth. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to action with a win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and she ran a cracker at Beverley one month later; not so good twice since and a lower draw would have been preferred. |
10/1 |
|
5 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner this season (5.5f/5f); needs to bounce back from last month's below-par Carlisle run but this mark is not beyond him and he should be fine back on Tapeta; swaps blinkers for refitted visor. |
9/1 |
|
8th 10 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |
7/2 |
