24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since his C&D success from 10lb higher in August 2024; runner-up at Newcastle (1m) in July, but took a step backwards over that C&D three weeks ago. |

Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time winner over 1m2f at Newcastle last year; returned from wind surgery with a good second of five at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in July but well below form there last month; drops in grade needing to bounce back. |
33/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was a below-par ninth of 13 in 1m Southwell handicap 53 days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
12/1 |
|
3 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f Catterick maiden as 3yo but not much in it as to whether she's better at that trip or 6f; has had some good results on Tapeta elsewhere but she tackles 1m for the first time with something to prove; cheekpieces discarded. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seen more often at 7f than 6f in handicaps and has yet to win one but she's had some close shaves over 6f, on Tapeta and turf, as at Thirsk 13 days ago; should go well if handling this new surface. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his third success, at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June off this mark; not beaten far on his last two starts and should be thereabouts. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who has his moods and always been capable of fluffing the start; one of his better efforts a month ago, switched from cheekpieces to second-time blinkers, but is not guaranteed to repeat the dose. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Twice well beaten off this mark since winning narrowly at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; can blow the start; blinkers return, but risky. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown most of his AW form at Newcastle; made the frame in last three outings; on a two-year losing spell but has the ability to play a big role, provided he's as effective back at Southwell. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has loads of C&D form, including a success in this contest in 2024 and second-place finishes the last twice, beaten 1l by Bajan Bandit latest occasion; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On lengthy losing run but his last four wins have been over C&D and he went close behind Walk On Walk On here (2-1 favourite) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher and he's a big player again. |

9st 6lb |
Four wins on AW this year (1m-1m3f); came up short off this mark at Southwell three weeks ago and she has something to prove on turf. |
16/1 |
|
7 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Started the year in ordinary form in classified events but she's made great progress and won four times on Tapeta since, over 1m2f, 1m3f (on this course) and 1m; that latter win was gained in fine style and she's a major contender despite the 6lb rise. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

No serious threat in three runs at 7f and 1m but she has more ability than the beaten distances suggest and there should be more to come from her now handicapping. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Some promise with midfield effort at Ffos Las (1m) on reappearance but gives the impression she'll be more interesting in handicaps shortly. |

66-1, beaten 11l when seventh of nine on debut at Southwell (7f, AW; reared start; hooded) in December; off since and now switches to turf with the hood removed on this step up to 1m; best watched. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A five-time AW winner, he shaped as if in need of the run when fourth on his first turf Flat run since 2023 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; this should put him right for an AW campaign this autumn. |
9/1 |
|
4th 12 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
AW regular whose only turf run since 2023 was over hurdles; gave good account when midfield in valuable Lingfield handicap (1m4f) on Good Friday but doesn't look the percentage call on first start for 169 days. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Emphatic scorer over 1m here in July; good second back here (1m again) next time but not in the same form twice since and remains 9lb above July's winning mark. |
11/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |
9/1 |
|
11 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Doubled her tally at this track when winning in good style over C&D in July before another good effort when second of 13 here ten days ago; now steps up in grade but she can't be discounted. |

10st 11lb |
5-42 overall and a more impressive 3-7 at Redcar, including two of his three wins this season; C&D runner-up on penultimate start and although his latest run (back here) wasn't as good, he still needs a close look. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only 5-41 overall but a much healthier 3-6 at Redcar, with the latest win gained over this trip on good in August; another solid C&D effort when chasing home an improver 24 days ago; likely to give it another good shot. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

12 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |
16/1 |

13 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |

14 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |

4 (7) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |
