1st 12 (2) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
His losing run is up to 16 and this inconsistent 5yo failed to threaten at Ascot three weeks ago, while he's 2lb out of the weights this afternoon; however, he was beaten just a head on the other Newmarket course (6f, good) two starts ago and stays 7f; not ruled out each-way. |
14/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His ability has never been in doubt and a return of two wins from his 24 starts is disappointing; he has run some good races in defeat since joining Stuart Williams, including dropped to 6f at Newmarket a fortnight ago, and he holds each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner; 0-5 for Stuart Williams but had been holding his own in 7f handicaps until a lesser show last time; whether he's quick enough for 6f is the glaring concern (all 23 runs from 7f to 1m2f). |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Often leads; 7f winner at this meeting in 2024 and he went out on his shield in the Gold Cup (soft) last year off 1lb lower, giving up his lead only late on; had two wind surgeries in 2026, returning from the latest one with two solid efforts, struck into when sixth in the Portland at Doncaster last week; cheekpieces return in place of a visor; good form chance. |
8/1 |
|
6th 15 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in a 6.5f handicap at this meeting 12 months ago before a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup six days later (off this mark); first two runs this year weren't up to much but he had wind surgery in June and last month's midfield finish at York was much more like it; a visor is now reached for, replacing cheekpieces, and he is an interesting contender. |
12/1 |
|
9th 18 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a Doncaster win and a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft); had a wind operation after the Ayr run but two heavy defeats this summer have seen him undergo another wind surgery; on a dangerous mark but Ayr next month might be the big target; cheekpieces back on today. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three C&D runs, winning two (soft and good to firm) and a solid third of eight last month; made the running and faded at Chester since but he's better judged on the earlier runs; on the premises. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't kick on for William Haggas and, following an encouraging stable debut (7f, AW) in July, he never got going when last of nine to Good Heavens at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 6-1) three weeks ago; questions to answer. |
11/1 |

2 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won 6f handicap here (soft) for William Haggas just under a year ago; didn't kick on for that yard but it was an encouraging stable debut when favourite and third of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) in July; same mark and shapes like he's worth another go at 1m. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Latest turf win in June 2025; hasn't been doing himself justice since back from a break in August but he suffereed some interference in this race 12 months ago (joint-favourite) and a revival isn't impossible. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
C&D win off 1lb higher in March; over 4l behind Beattie Is Back here 23 days ago and this looks a stiffer assignment. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual course winner over 6f/7f, the most recent coming in March off the same mark as today; below his best in three starts since but can't be dismissed back on the AW. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Easily best known for his achievements at Wolverhampton, so he returns to serious calculations after two runs elsewhere; first-time blinkers make this a very rare run on headgear, though, and he was behind in the others. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Exposed 6yo who excels at Wolverhampton; only 1-20 on turf but he wasn't disgraced in a higher grade over 1m2f at Chester. |
10/1 |

5th 10 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Exposed 6yo who excels at Wolverhampton where's he won five times and yet on turf he's 1-19; close fourth on his favourite patch 12 days ago and 4lb lower back on the grass, but he wouldn't be the percentage call on first visit here. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start. |
50/1 |
|
6 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Caught the eye when third of 12 over C&D on her return to action in May; hasn't built on it since but she's well handicapped if this sets up for her. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Soundly beaten in competitive York sprint two starts ago but ran well over 7f on other two outings this season; comes here on a workable mark and can be dangerous if the new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1-18 strike-rate and down the field at York last Saturday (6f, good; reportedly never travelling); however, prior to that she was a close third on reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and a good case can be made on that form; effective on good to soft; could bounce back with big run. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

1 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-2 over C&D in August, off a 2lb lower mark, when again having plenty of use made of him from the same draw as tonight; got upset in the stalls when below par last time and should fare better this time. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) this year; 2lb rise for second success last month still leaves him 1lb lower than for the first; one for the shortlist. |

1st 2 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win from ten starts came when making all over C&D in March off a mark 3lb higher than today; mostly struggled since but the return to AW could be a positive. |
