4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Pretty useful at his best on Flat, including for a 1m6f win last August; no sign of that form with cheekpieces enlisted for this summer's three starts over hurdles (the stewards had a look on second occasion) but he's now qualified for handicaps in this sphere and needs a close check. |
9/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has shown promise over hurdles; caught the attention of the stewards last time; may be more interesting in handicaps but he is one of the better types in this field, being a dual Flat winner. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Flat winner in France and added a 1m6f handicap at Haydock last August; no impact in two runs over hurdles, though reportedly finished lame after the latest. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

Behind New York Minute at Southwell before edging home in a Class 5 over C&D; will do well to follow up in this higher grade. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; respectable fourth over 2m here (good) in May but not seen since, so peak fitness isn't assured. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; badly hampered and unseated over hurdles next time; still has mileage in his mark judged on old Flat form; respected. |
5/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Won easily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; soundly beaten behind Judicial Deference at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) in January but he's probably better than that and he won on the AW last week; not ruled out. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since September 2023; second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) three starts ago and she's now 1lb lower, on a career-low mark; second or third on all three appearances over C&D, twice in small fields admittedly. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Last win was for Hugo Palmer at Newcastle (1m2f) in September 2023; plenty of placed efforts for this trainer, including when runner-up at Newcastle (12.5f; winner has won twice since) 19 days ago; others are better equipped for win purposes. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only win came over C&D last August when rated 1lb lower; below form both runs this season but should do better having had wind surgery. |
7/1 |

8th 14 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Made fairly encouraging seasonal debut at Catterick (2m, good; behind Arctic Fox) last month but his only win from 18 starts came on Tapeta and others have more pressing claims; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play. |
12/1 |
