31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to win this year but he has run several good races in defeat at this trip; the bulk of his racing has been on good ground or quicker so underfoot conditions could be troublesome. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten on his last 15 starts but placed over 1m4f/1m2f in three of his five races this term; has the form for another prominent finish and is claimer ridden for the first time. |

3rd 2 (1) |

10st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts but he was a good second of 17 over 1m4f here (good) at the Dante meeting in May; freshened up since a disappointing effort at Thirsk six weeks ago. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims. |

Three Flat wins for Ed Walker (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; never got seriously involved under a patient ride at Ludlow but that run was promising; now tongue tied. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Infrequent winner but is 2-4 on Tapeta, his latest win coming from 3lb lower at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |
2/1 |

2nd 7 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Dual novice winner who was second (no match for the winner) in a C&D Racing League handicap before not appearing to stay 1m6f at Haydock (Class 2); remains of interest. |
4/1 |
|
4 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in July on second start and followed up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); no match for Circus Of Rome on handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) recently but did well to beat the remainder and is 9lb better off with the winner this afternoon; could be suited by the step up to 1m6f and he's one to consider. |
11/2 |

7 (9) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

Made debut in June and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on second start before following up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); this well-bred Frankel colt has potential off his opening mark; player on AW debut. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably twice over 1m6f last autumn, including on good to soft; this campaign is not that hard to forgive - over 1m2f/1m on first two occasions and with 2m for the Northumberland Plate (just 8-1) perhaps a stretch last time - although he has raced a bit freely; well treated judged on peak form and could be about to come good again. |
40/1 |

10th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Third win last term was clearcut over 1m4f here in August and he ran creditably over 1m6f on turf next time; it's not that hard to forgive this season, given the 1m2f/1m, although he has raced a bit freely; looked the type to make progress this year and this is an eye-catching rethink on trip. |
7/2 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Campaigned over further since the start of last term and gained his handicap double at about 1m4f (stays 1m6f); never dangerous over 1m2f on reappearance; drop back to 1m looks a big negative. |

4th 2 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |

Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) last October on second handicap start and followed up on reappearance at Southwell (2m, AW) in April; tailed off in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) since but showed signs of post-race ataxia; retains potential and could bounce back with a bold show. |
13/2 |

14th 17 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
4yo who has had just six races, on last two occasions winning well in handicaps at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) in October and Southwell (slowly run 2m, AW; gelded) four weeks ago; raised another 6lb and substantially in class, but he's probably going places and is one for the shortlist. |

11st 1lb |
Ghaiyyath 4yo ran to a useful level of form on the Flat last year for Charlie Fellows at around 1m4f; yard debut effort at Galway was respectable, considering he was plenty fresh; interesting now switched to hurdles and one to consider. |

Maiden showed more than enough for Charlie Fellowes last season to suggest he could win races; below best when last seen at Newmarket in October; worth a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott. |

Dug in to score on his last spin over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft; from 3lb lower) in December; runner-up three times in succession on the Flat at Beverley recently, beaten 2l there (1m4f; 13-8 favourite) just ten days ago. |

Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |

Easily made all here (2m, good) in June and he's run well in third on his last two starts, most recently behind Inappropriate here (2m, good); could give it a good go from the front but this is warmer than he's used to. |
