5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) in February; on a competitive mark on that evidence but he is yet to win on turf and he was well beaten, albeit in a higher grade and on heavy ground, on last month's return to action; others appeal more for win purposes. |

All his three successes have come on the AW; off since a below-par fifth at Musselburgh (7f) in April and others appeal more. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark for the year with her win at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in August; wore first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good) nine days ago and she ran well for second; another 1lb higher today but foolish to discount. |
15/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Second win of the campaign when seeing off ten rivals in 0-85 company at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but raised 4lb and he's found it tough off this mark before. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at York (5f, good to firm) in July and he was back to form when second on the AW last Saturday; tends to race close to the pace and should make another bold bid with Conor Whiteley claiming a handy 5lb. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner on the AW and consistent in the main; in front 2f out but didn't quite get home when third here last month; respected off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over C&D early this year and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of them; showed signs of a return to form when fourth of nine at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid candidate. |
9/2 |

1 (3) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Three wins this year include two on the Southwell AW; hasn't been flying of late but he's the type to bounce back and this mark is fine. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-5 over C&D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
14/1 |
