22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on first two runs this term but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second here (8.4f, soft) 24 days ago; last season's two wins both came on good ground; tongue tie left off today but she is still respected; withdrawn at Musselburgh earlier in the month having got loose beforehand. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on first two runs this term but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second at Beverley (8.4f, soft) a fortnight ago; last season's two wins both came on good ground; high on the list. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins from an extended 7f to 1m for current yard but beaten 18l on both starts this season, including only a fortnight ago, so doesn't obviously arrive in much form; has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue-tie. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course scorer (also goes well on soft) but yet to fire this season and underwent breathing surgery before coming in only ninth of 12 over 7f here eight days ago; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces now. |
33/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Prolific course winner, including this race in 2024, and he has dropped a long way in the weights; that is a result of some low-key runs this year and a wind operation since the latest is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Excels over C&D, only once out of the frame in 14 runs and his fourth win coming on latest start here (good), when making all from Indefensible; still well treated and can go well in the bid to repeat his 2024 win. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
13 starts here have yielded three wins and eight places, albeit the latest success came nearly two years ago; arrives in form after a string of solid efforts and he's likely to make his presence felt again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |
|
19th 16 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in a light 2026 campaign when fourth in big field at York last month; has an unimpressive strike-rate for current yard but is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
10th 3 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Best effort in a light 2026 campaign when fourth in big field at York on penultimate start; has an unimpressive strike-rate for current yard but is interesting dropped in class off last winning mark. |

Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably behind Sandy Craic over C&D in June; similar form at Newmarket last month; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |
6/1 |
|
1st 14 (18) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 7f scorer at her best for Seb Spencer; mainly below par this season but better signs on her yard debut with fifth of 11 in 7f Catterick handicap six days ago, staying on late after a very slow start; considered. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Wins have come over an easy, turning 7f and she ran well enough over C&D in the summer to be worth a look among the likely bigger prices for her new yard; she wouldn't want more than the odd shower though. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) off 10lb higher last year; has largely struggled since but latest Catterick fourth from well off the pace was a step back in the right direction and has obvious handicapping scope if able to build on that. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |
66/1 |

10th 8 (21) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

9st 9lb |
Often placed on turf/AW this year and 10lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in January, but he's 0-18 in handicaps; needs the addition of cheekpieces to make a difference. |
4/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Sole win from 22 starts came in a maiden at Newcastle (7f, AW) in October 2024; has placed form on turf, including when third of eight at Windsor last month, but his best form has been on the AW. |

C&D win off this mark in March; knocking at the door on most recent AW appearances and latest down-the-field run in the Leger Legends event at Doncaster is easy to excuse as he saw no daylight; another to consider. |

8th 2 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Campaigned over 7f in recent times but shapes as if this return to 1m will suit; in form, having made the frame on AW in last three starts; effective on turf; strong contender under Sammy Jo Bell, who has ridden the winner of this race three times. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
