26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

0-18 and neither run since returning in May suggested a first win was imminent; drop in grade the one positive on first start for new trainer. |

8th 4 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
1m win here in August and she ran a sound race when third at Thirsk four days later; no issue with the drop back in trip and likely to be involved again. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (11) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Consistent of late and justified favouritism at Musselburgh (1m, good; first two clear) on Monday, ending a three-year losing spell; incurs 5lb penalty but looks likely to remain competitive. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since 2yo days; competitive at this sort of level all summer but a couple of costly defeats here latterly (7f) and needs to find more. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course scorer who has a solid record on going softer than good; below par in the spring when last seen but has a good mark to work with back from a break (gone well fresh before); considered. |
16/1 |
|
12th 12 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins for Kevin Ryan as a 3yo came over 6f including one here; losing run up to 16, though, and plenty to prove on this first go beyond 1m. |
14/1 |

8 (9) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice for Kevin Ryan in 2023, though over 6f; didn't appear to see out the 1m at Carlisle three weeks ago when behind Ey Up Its Jazz. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two good runs here (1m and 1m1f, good ground) in midsummer but he has finished out the back in both subsequent runs, latterly when 17l behind Zermatt Star at Ripon last week; risky. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally with 1m1f victory at Carlisle in July; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap since though so needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Enhanced his good form figures here with a narrow success over this trip 15 days ago when the ground was soft; overcame a wide draw that day; must have a chance. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner on a variety of going at about 1m, including over C&D; ran well when second twice over C&D in the spring and once last month; major player. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who has a good chance on some of his 2026 handicap form over 8.5f at Beverley, including latest start, and gives the impression this return to 1m2f is worth exploring. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D record read 14224 before June's below-par run, and a foray into classified company since bore no fruit either; wouldn't dismiss outright from this lowest mark he's ever raced off in a handicap, however. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |
