8th 5 (11) |
19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who has ran creditably on several occasions since his last success, over C&D last August when 6lb lower; needs a little more help from the handicapper. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (9) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual AW scorer last term; close third at Ayr (1m) in most recent turf attempt; getting scant help from the assessor but Mason Paetel's useful 3lb claim could make a difference. |
9/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often front-runner but not when he won twice on the AW last August, including here over 7f; 8lb above the most recent success but he gave it a good go from the front when third at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago; has to be considered. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In fine form since upped to middle-distances this summer; whether it was the soft ground or her revised mark that proved her undoing last time remains to be seen but having Harry Vigors take off 5lb won't hurt her chances. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has found some improvement up in trip in recent weeks, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before following up with more to spare on turf at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) six days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (new mark due to be 2lb lower) but is unexposed at around 1m3f+ and on turf. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in two of her three turf races; off the mark when prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f; 3lb lower), leading close home; soft ground would be a first but solid chance otherwise. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 1m winner who has raced mostly on AW in the last year, latterly running well over sharp 9.5f then finishing weakly over 1m2f; has stamina to prove, faced with a stiffer test back on turf. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and was as good as ever when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he could make another bold bid. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins (three on AW) have been at 7f but he ran with plenty of credit when fourth of ten at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) ten days ago; this trip may suit him even better and he makes the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
6 (1) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at 7f but he finished well out wide when a close third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) two weeks ago; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix off an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he isn't very consistent and ran particularly poorly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; has questions to answer. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Plenty of promise in the spring and was returning from a lengthy break when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Southwell three weeks ago (1m; 11-2); that was a tad underwhelming but it's still early days; best RPR came on good to soft and softer here could benefit. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three promising runs in the spring (didn't see out 1m2f when last seen); missed three engagements in the space of five days in June (two ground related, one lameness); makes her belated handicap debut and could well take a step forwards. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |

11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 in handicaps since winning a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Alice Haynes a year ago, but his fourth of ten over C&D on penultimate start offers some hope; visor now given a go. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled in handicaps for Alice Haynes after winning a maiden here over 7f last January but he ran a solid race at Wolverhampton (7f; reported to have lost a shoe) on his stable debut 19 days ago, while leaving the impression that he's worth another go over this trip; contender. |
7/4 |
|
2 (11) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Narrowly off the mark on his second start in a Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) in January, but has regressed in three handicaps since; cheekpieces made no difference on turf debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last month (gelded since); best to look elsewhere. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Generally disappointing this year but kept on for second off career-low mark at Beverley (8.4f, good) last month; sure to be suited both the return to Tapeta and move back up in trip today; high on the list. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (1) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Began his career with back-to-back Newcastle wins (7f, AW) but has never been able to hit similar heights in handicaps; handy mark if back on song but recent efforts offer little hope and this trip looks too sharp now. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Course scorer but it's now 17 starts since his last success; tried in blinkers when a below-par fifth of six in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; more is needed in a refitted visor. |

9st 0lb |
Got off the mark at the 14th attempt, at Redcar (1m6f, good) in June; good second over 2m there next time but two lesser efforts have followed; now has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue-tie. |
12/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap at Redcar (good) in June; creditable second of four over 2m there (good to firm) since, both under today's rider Cian Horgan. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Warm favourite for his Newcastle debut in November but could only manage fourth; no real progress since and although he should be sharper with a recent run behind him, he does have a bit to prove now upped to a mile and fitted with a visor. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |

No progress in 6f AW events in late 2024; however, may be capable of better now handicapping over new trip on turf; market should offer further guidance on reappearance. |
