29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-33 on the AW but proved game when scoring by half a length at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to go well again. |

1st 2 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Modest strike-rate of 1-32 on the AW, and that was at Newcastle, but he does act well over this C&D, having been involved in tight finishes in two of his three attempts and placed in the other; weighted to go well. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who was a clear runner-up behind a rejuvenated winner at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a fortnight ago before a remarkable 21l win at Chester (2m, good to soft) last Friday; that latest race was an apprentice handicap so he escapes a penalty today; this course winner could be tough to beat. |

1st 5 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) in May and at Musselburgh (2m, good) the following month; down the field at the latter track last month but bounced back to form with a good second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a week ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner who was since won again; may not have his own way in front but has to be respected; due to be 2lb higher. |
3/1 |

Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered. |

9st 5lb |
Mixed record in five runs this season, but she's reached the frame twice including a close third at Ayr (1m2f) on her penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and her two wins last season were off higher marks. |

6th 1 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over this C&D on good to soft; good effort when third at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) 17 days ago but she hasn't been the most constent; claims if backing up that latest effort. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice off marks slightly higher than today's last season (1m3f/1m4f) and was seemingly back in good nick when running-on fourth over C&D (good) last month, but suffered heavy defeat on AW 16 days ago and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Very productive on AW this year and also scored over hurdles in the spring; suffered a heavy defeat on most recent attempt in this sphere but remains well treated judged on Flat form. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May on third hurdle start and scored on the Flat at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) four weeks ago; in view of his Flat ability he has potential off this opening hurdle mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but disappointed when favourite back there (1m2f) later in month; no headgear on this return from 191 days off and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Runner-up to Golspie over C&D and then did well (fourth) from a poor track position at Southwell, before things slotted neatly into place for a cosy 12.5f win here (7-4 favourite; from 3lb lower) 11 days ago; given a decent gallop to aim at, should be there or thereabouts. |

Won this race last year (good to firm) in good style and has a 1lb lower mark today; 2026 build-up has been far less auspicious than last season's, however, and the first-time visor of latest start is now replaced with a first-time tongue-tie. |

Newcastle win this time last year came off a 7lb higher mark; well backed on the drop to this company at Carlisle a few weeks ago, when faring much better, and is one to consider (likely to be dropped in as usual from the outside stall). |

Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |
