22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ran into traffic at a crucial stage when fourth to Glenfinnan over C&D (good to firm) last month; similar form when fourth at Thirsk 17 days ago; each-way shout. |

Ran into traffic at a crucial stage when fourth at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago; capable of a prominent showing but he is the type that is always reliant on some luck in running. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won twice on the AW over the winter but he seems to have gone off the boil, well beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday; not so effective yet on turf; others make more appeal. |
16/1 |

11th 13 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

On a mark we know he can win off but hasn't been that threatening this season, including here in his final race when fourth of the six runners; bit to prove. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Ended a long losing run at Carlisle (1m, good) in September and ran creditably when third at Ayr next time; arrives in form but he's 0-8 here and fully exposed. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Snapped a losing run dating back to June 2024 when holding on by a neck at Carlisle (1m, good) last week; generally consistent but hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up under a 4lb penalty. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Generally consistent this year but Sunday's York run was a big step backwards; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he has a modest strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good) this summer and went very close at Hamilton (1m, heavy) last month; endured a torrid passage when mid-division at Redcar (1m, good) last time and he's firmly in calculations. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (14) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Went down by just a nose at Hamilton two weeks ago and he now returns to the C&D of his two wins (good to firm/good) this summer; creeping back up the weights but has plenty in his favour. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole AW win came here and returned to form with a near miss over 1m at Doncaster where he was headed late on; same mark for this and dropping back to 7f won't hurt. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 (13) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Not entirely solid on 2026 efforts but has possibilities on best form, being a four-time Class 4 winner who is in a lower grade today; gained the most recent success 15 months ago. |
11/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |

9st 4lb |
Close third 12 months ago and has run creditably over C&D several times since; a sixth of 15 at York four weeks ago should have kept him ticking over and he has each-way possibilities again. |

6th 14 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

9st 9lb |
Gained his breakthrough victory over C&D in April but he's failed to match that form in three subsequent outings, 11th at York (1m) 16 days ago; blinkers are reached for now and he has something to prove. |
14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging start to career last summer (including here) and he tapped back into that 2yo promise to win at Beverley (7.4f, good) in April; however, he hasn't shone the last twice and has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Doesn't always looks the easiest, but has finished runner-up in both starts on Tapeta (including over 7f here) and got off the mark at Beverley (7f, good) in April; made little impression in the Silver Bowl at Haydock last time, but respected back in calmer waters. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has run a number of good races in defeat this season and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and he has won over C&D in the past; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to score this season but back in very good form since fitted with cheekpieces, runner-up in big-field handicaps at York (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f) last two runs; up 3lb but he can go very well again in retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |

On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Serial slow starter who ended a losing run off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster 11 days ago before bumping into a well-handicapped winner over C&D last Thursday; holds claims, especially if he can get away on terms for a change. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Often slowly away, just as he was when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last week having dropped a long way in the weights; has to be respected under a 5lb penalty. |

5th 8 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |

Reasonably consistent this season until losing his form in last few outings; registered only wins for current stable when completing a Doncaster 7f double last autumn and may be more interesting when back there. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
