5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three in a row here (2m-2m2f, good to firm) in May-July and added a Flat win to her tally in August; second to a next-time-out winner when back over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month and ought to make her presence felt again. |

2nd 4 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
8lb higher than when completing a Stratford hat-trick (under Sean Bowen; 2m-2m2f) in July but has since won again on the Flat; clearly a strong contender. |
5/4 |

1st 5 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won three C&D handicaps last year, including the corresponding race (ridden by Becky Smith) off today's mark; comes here on the back of a hat-trick of hurdle wins this summer; high on the list. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won races at up to 1m4f for Kevin Ryan; has struggled badly over hurdles this year and was tailed off back on the Flat last time after wind surgery; a tongue-tie returns (no clear significance) with cheekpieces tried; lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (12) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Three Flat wins during his time with Kevin Ryan, including beating Roland Garros in this race (good; also won on good to soft) off 3lb lower under Henry Callan 12 months ago; has struggled badly over hurdles for Lizzie Quinlan in 2026 so his hopes are pinned on a recent wind operation and a return to the Flat sparking a revival. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three Flat wins, latest off 7lb higher at Wetherby in June 2025 (1m2f, good to firm); well beaten on first two runs (following a break) this term, but shaped better on AW latest (1m3f); still has a bit to prove at present. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (12) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last June off a 5lb higher mark; however, he's struggled in four starts since and now has a bit to prove; down in class. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 out of sorts after 1m2f Wetherby success last June; off 11 months before coming in a well-held eighth of 11 in 1m1f Carlisle handicap on his return last month; this course scorer needs to take a major step forward. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Returns to his usual trip after finding 7.5f too short last time; however, perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there; visits Doncaster for the first time. |
16/1 |
|
12 (4) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A two-time 1m2f scorer here this summer but he turned in a rare poor effort when eighth of nine here last time; possibly found that run coming too quickly though so still enters calculations. |
8/1 |
|
8 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D on good to firm in July and August and he was a close third six days ago on his only other visit to this track; ridden by Zak Wheatley in all but one of his races this season; considered in hot race. |

Three-time Flat winner and twice competitive in that scene during the summer; made an okay return to hurdling when an 18l third at Market Rasen and now tackles his first handicap. |

3rd 4 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Exposed as a fair Flat performer at best these days; pulled up twice and tailed off on the other occasion when tried over hurdles two seasons ago when with Alan King; best watched for now. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The last five of his six wins were over 1m2f at this track, the latest last November off 1lb higher than today; off five months before well beaten for his minor honours on last two outings (here latest) but he's been runner-up four times over 1m4f and isn't entirely dismissed. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five times a C&D winner, the latest last November off this mark; low-key return to action at Thirsk (1m4f, good) six weeks ago but he should be seen in a better light here. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |

Best known for AW exploits and yet was struggling on Tapeta back in the spring; only 1-22 on turf, lacks a run and he's up against in-form 3yos. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 for this yard and was never better than midfield at Ayr on last month's return from nearly a year off; entitled to be sharper for the outing but would need to see market support to consider on this belated AW debut with a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie. |
11/2 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-8 for this yard and he was beaten 10l when sixth of 12 here (1m, heavy; has won on that surface in Ireland) when last seen 343 days ago; could only consider if backed. |
