13th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has plenty of Musselburgh form, including three wins, but looks far from solid on his efforts for new yard and sometimes blows the start; returns to Class 6 for first time since 2023. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Three course wins, the latest last August, and he's well treated on that form (even from out of the weights today); however, this season's form has been mixed and others have more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Stuck on a long losing run and has been pretty much tailed off in his last two races (2m4f/3m2f); reduced mark offers some hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Has gone 34 races since he last won three years ago but steps up in trip on a career-low mark in this sphere; may well show more. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
On a long losing sequence but returned to some form when back from a break and finishing a 12l third of five over C&D 12 days ago, ridden by Rian Corcoran; respected off 4lb lower. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only win came over C&D last August when rated 1lb lower; below form both runs this season but should do better having had wind surgery. |
7/1 |
|
8th 14 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Made fairly encouraging seasonal debut at Catterick (2m, good; behind Arctic Fox) last month but his only win from 18 starts came on Tapeta and others have more pressing claims; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Carlisle in June (1m6f, good); some fair form since, including when second at Haydock last time (1m6f, heavy); each-way chance. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Seen most often at Musselburgh but his last two wins were at Nottingham (2m2f, heavy) last October and Carlisle (1m6f, good) this June; he's back to the same mark today and recent efforts give him place claims. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Latest Flat win was C&D in June (7lb higher today) and he also scored over hurdles three weeks ago on latest outing; firmly in the picture. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Plenty of racing on the Flat, winning for a third time when successful over 1m4f on the AW this June; it's proving harder work over hurdles, last time trailing home last here on his handicap debut (16-1). |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Fair Flat-racer who won in first-time blinkers on the AW (2m; RPR 72) this summer and can probably be excused his recent defeat on heavy ground; showed only minor promise in three maiden hurdles last season but is open to improvement in handicaps this term; market reference recommended. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023, stays a deal further and is on the downgrade now; patchy for his new yard this year and others make greater appeal back from seven weeks off. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles but hasn't been running badly; more new headgear tried but can go well. |
14/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but he arrives in good form, fourth of nine in 2m Perth handicap 13 days ago; he can make his presence felt again with blinkers added. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 |
25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat; 0-6 over hurdles but was third off today's mark over C&D (good) in July and also ran well when filling same position at Kelso (2m2f, good) last week; one to consider. |
7/2 |
