19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead, as when winning sole C&D start last summer; below recent best at Leicester recently but he looked to have a Beverley race in the bag the time before, only for Call To Action to race past late; should go well again. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
2-2 over C&D; shaped encouragingly after two-month absence with third of ten in 5.5f Doncaster handicap last month; that race has already produced two winners so he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won eight times on turf, seven of them over 5f, all on stiff tracks; well drawn, acts well on soft ground, and decent fourth at Beverley last time; interesting in first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has developed into a useful handicapper; won at Goodwood (5f, soft) most recently, taking record to 6-18; faces a stiffer task upped in class but he's broadly progressive and could go well. |
16/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-5 over C&D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW scorer; 0-13 on turf but nearly prevailed in small field at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in most recent Class 5 attempt; remains well handicapped on peak form. |
14/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 2lb lower than when scoring on Tapeta at Newcastle (5f) in February and he did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace (started slowly); a rare Newmarket runner for his Scottish stable. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive for James Owen last year and he has hit new heights in 2026, winning at Goodwood and Newbury (both 6f on good ground) in May and running big races in major handicaps over C&D (Wokingham), Goodwood (Stewards' Cup) and York since; not so good in the Ayr Gold Cup last time but he's not the type to stay down for long. |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (14) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive for James Owen last year and he has hit new heights in 2026, winning at Goodwood and Newbury (both 6f on good ground) in May and running big races in major handicaps at Ascot, Goodwood and York since; only beaten a nose at the Ebor meeting and that race is already working out extremely well; 3lb well in so his claims are obvious. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of five of his 12 starts (5.7f-6f) since joining James Owen last summer; fourth and sixth in major handicaps on last two starts and it would seem highly likely that he will give his running once again; appears to handle any ground. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
12-time winner, three of them here (5f/6f); not beaten far on last two starts and is on a fair mark so could go well. |
7/1 |
