13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has raced 13 times and was better than ever when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, she was no match for the winner and is probably up against it today. |

York handicap winner last season and overcame a wide draw at Chester in May (6f, good; 4lb lower); good and bad since, though saw too much daylight when returned to 7f at Newmarket last time (behind Machadadorp); better can be expected, assuming she copes with this new experience. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Underwhelming in the first half of this year but has been revived by wind surgery; briefly met trouble when a close second at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) on Wednesday; leading contender off the same mark. |

2nd 5 (9) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Useful 2yo; 3yo campaign has been hard work so far but he didn't run badly at Doncaster (6f, good; first run after wind surgery) this month and dropping back to 5f shouldn't hurt; one to consider from a good draw. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand. |

Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month. |

9th 9 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet. |

7th 9 (17) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him. |

Won on debut here (5f, good) last April and close second to Anaisa in Listed race at Ripon in August (6f, good; albeit weak form for the grade); disappointing in nursery at Carlisle shortly after and she's 9lb higher for this return to action, but she's not ruled out for a trainer among the winners. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Gained a second C&D success in fine style in May; hiked up 10lb but not discredited after a three-month layoff when in the frame at Southwell (7f) and Chester (7.5f) since; this front-runner is very much one to consider back here but has the outside draw. |

1st 1 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

0-11 since last season's winning debut but he's performed well in handicaps off higher marks, including when last seen at York in June as he was fifth of 22 over 6f; ran well in May on his only previous start over 7f and he's had a wind operation; could be interesting. |

Made it 0-10 since winning on debut over C&D last May when underwhelming at Leicester 19 days ago; however, he was in good form previously, finishing 3l fifth of 14 over 7f here (good) earlier last month when not quite seeing out the trip; edging down the weights and could be involved. |

13-race maiden but he's been placed five times and didn't get much luck when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; now returns to a novice but he should be fine back at this trip and his best form puts him firmly in the picture; hood removed. |

Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 13-2 or shorter on eight occasions, mainly over 5f; headgear goes back on as he returns to 6f but he's often pulled hard in the hood and can miss the break, so there are risks involved. |
