27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who did well throughout five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning this race; 5lb higher today but much more of a worry is that he needs to bounce back from this season's two poor runs on turf. |

Front-runner who did well during five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW); also suited by good to soft turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing reappearance run. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Chester winner for Jennie Candlish in August 2025 (2m, good); mainly disappointing since, though ran a fair race on stable debut at Newcastle last month. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in three starts in May/June and has left Jennie Candlish since he was down the field over hurdles at Cartmel in June; makes his stable debut having dropped 2lb below his last Flat winning mark but he was well beaten on his only previous start on the AW. |
14/1 |

9th 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who has returned from a long absence in pretty good heart, finishing third at Chester (2m, good) then fourth from off the pace at Kempton (2m, AW; Molten Sea second); might not be far away. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

9yo who returned from two-year absence with creditable third at Chester (2m, good) at the end of May; also effective over this C&D and he may be able to build on that latest performance; chance. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner over 1m6f here (soft, good); last two wins have been over 2m at York, latest last September; a bit disappointing this season but well handicapped now and shaped better at York last time in a race that has worked out well; interesting. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two C&D wins last term (good to soft/good), including this race, and she's 3lb below that last winning mark; one to watch in the betting but she's hard to fancy on this summer's evidence (tailed off here in July). |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Record of 6-25 on turf but 0-10 on the AW; this year started off okay but after predictably struggling in a Group 3 she's disappointed in a couple of handicaps; needs to get back on track. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in. |
4/1 |
|
5 (10) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Remains lightly raced and his useful dam got better with age for this yard; promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month but soundly beaten there since (2m) and he needs to raise his game today. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hat-trick of wins over 1m6f/2m on good to soft, soft and heavy in September; hasn't done quite as well on last two outings, but conditions suit and he could get a place. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways over C&D this month and he completed a quick hat-trick in 1m5f Catterick handicap; posted another good effort off a 6lb higher mark when fourth of ten in 1m6f handicap at Chester one week ago; a player off the same mark. |
7/4 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Back from a three-month layoff in fine form and he readily completed a quick hat-trick in 1m6f handicap at Catterick 11 days ago; up another 6lb but he's not taken lightly. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three on the Flat for William Haggas; sold for 20,000gns to join this yard last October and scored on her second hurdles start at Kempton (2m good) in March; another good run when runner-up at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) the following month and should run her race. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected. |
7/4 |
|
1st 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; ran to only a modest level when 15l fifth of 13 on her 2m Hereford hurdle debut (soft) 20 days ago but she's entitled to come on for the experience. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |
|
3 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |
|
2 |
31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He won here (1m4f, good) in April and has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); his course form figures read 122 and there is every chance that he'll again be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |
9/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Battled well to shade a tight finish over 2m in the mud at Beverley under Jake Dickson at the end of August but beaten upwards of 13l in his five other starts this year; only 1lb higher than Beverley but it's hard to know what to expect. |
9/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in five of his six runs this season but he battled well when winning in the mud at Beverley (2m, heavy) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form but he needs to bounce back again after a laboured effort at York. |
14/1 |
|
12th 11 (2) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Failed to beat a rival on his first three starts this season but returned to form with a bang for short-head win under Jake Dickson in an apprentice handicap at Beverley (2m, heavy) last Sunday, the front two miles clear; escapes a penalty today and has to be firmly in calculations. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 8yo who has won two of her last four starts including a cosy success at Beverley (1m4f, soft) last month; 4lb higher on this drop back in trip but she seems as good as ever and could be a big factor again if this sets up for her closing style. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Behind a couple of these when fourth over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a respectable run and she won at Carlisle (1m3f, good) prior to that; went close in this race in 2024; not ruled out. |
