1st 2 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner whose last success was over C&D in May; hasn't made a serious impact since then but he did best of the hold-up performers here (fifth of 11) here last time and is now back on his last winning mark; dangerous. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in May and in good form until just seventh of 12 in 6f Newmarket handicap 25 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Epsom specialist who predictably ran well in sole Brighton attempt; well treated on lots of 7f form; gives 1m a belated second go. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Epsom specialist who has form figures of 3127 in this race, the win in 2022; on a two-year losing spell but ran encouragingly (third to Kisskodi) over C&D most recently; possibilities off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In a good vein of form, winning twice on Lingfield's AW during the summer and second to Tex in amateurs' race over 1m here (also placed twice over C&D) last time, collared late having briefly gone clear; the fact there was a long way back to the third has resulted in him being raised to a clear career-high mark but still merits respect in his current mood. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has stood up well to a busy year, winning three times and better than ever when successful at Brighton (7f, good) in September; not quite at that level in two runs since but perhaps fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces will help. |
9/1 |
|
9 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Notched a third success of 2026 at Brighton (7f) in September; backed it up with a solid fourth of nine in 7f handicap at Beverley 13 days ago; this consistent sort ought to be in the shake-up again. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a 7f Lingfield maiden (soft) on fourth start but he hasn't looked worth his mark in two handicaps since, over 6f and 7f; down further 2lb but likely to need another drop before of interest. |
20/1 |
|
7 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Grabbed the favoured stands' rail when off the mark in a soft-ground maiden at Lingfield and dropped away tamely on handicap debut at Doncaster, albeit back at 6f; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a Lingfield maiden (7f, soft) last month; pulled hard in that race but he grabbed the stands' rail and did well to hold off some finishers; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's open to more progress on this drop back in trip. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (5.6f/7f) for the Kublers and latest was at this track last August; well handicapped on that form but she's struggled in three runs for current yard and needs a big turnaround. |
14/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins for the Kubler yard included one over C&D; has finished last in both her runs for Tony Carroll following an absence and cheekpieces did nothing for her when tried once before. |
33/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three 7f wins this year, including on Tapeta, and only 1lb higher than for the latest; well short of his best on his last two runs (slowly away latest); revival not out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6 (8) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 7f this season, the first on Tapeta at Newcastle and the last two (Chepstow, Brighton) on fast ground; not at his best on Tapeta last time but could still go well. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month before a respectable fourth of ten at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago; has won over this C&D and can go well. |
