11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had a couple of near misses on Tapeta in the spring and his form has taken off on turf since, winning 6f handicaps at Carlisle (twice) and Doncaster; came up short under a penalty back at Carlisle three weeks ago but still ran creditably in second; hood added today; shouldn't be far away. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive gelding who has won three of his last four starts, including a Class 5 over C&D (good) last Tuesday; has a penalty for that last-gasp win but he did well to overcome trouble and that made it 2-2 at Carlisle; respected. |
9/4 |

12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win in May been well advertised since and he duly defied a 9lb rise next time; again pulled hard when well held off this mark a few weeks ago and it's possible he's hit his ceiling unless consenting to settle better. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins over 6f on AW; has had plenty of chances on turf but continues to come up short; goes again in visor worn for the first time when fifth of 11 at Carlisle (6f, good) last Wednesday. |
9/2 |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went close over C&D in May when 4lb higher; that hasn't been a springboard to better things but it is not inconceivable that a change of headgear can provide the necessary spark to break his turf duck. |
7/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 0-11 for the year when down the field here (7f) a fortnight ago; however, he was in pretty good heart previously and his last win came over C&D last October; not written off. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Record is just 1-11 and his best form is on AW; inconsistent sort to boot and looks far from certain to take advantage of lower mark back on turf. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Chelmsford nursery winner (7f, Polytrack) for Amy Murphy late last year and ran his best race of this campaign when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; possible a stiffer test may suit him better, but still shortlisted from the same mark. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
16-1 win on debut at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) last June but she's not built on that and has found things tough in four handicaps this year; dropped another 5lb since last start but others easier to make a case for on her AW debut. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (8) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
16-1 win on debut at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) last June but she's not built on that and has found things tough in four handicaps; still lightly raced but a visor didn't seem to make any difference at Beverley last week and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't built on her winning debut at Carlisle last June; well held in two runs this year; first-time visor is now applied and she needs to show improvement. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Scored three times from four starts over 6f in 2025; looked rusty after 12 months off when seventh of 12 in 6f Southwell AW handicap 26 days ago but not out of things with that run under his belt. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Having been gelded he won three from four last season, including after a six-month break; finished lame when beaten; may yet have more to offer but has been found a competitive handicap after a year off. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 23 starts but he made a bold bid and was only narrowly denied in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; has leading claims if he can back that up. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Finally won when prevailing by a neck over C&D in August and ran a fair race 13 days ago, though he was hanging late on; still appeals as one of the safer options here. |
11/4 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had been expensive to follow but returned to AW to finally break his duck in a 14-runner C&D handicap last month, beating next-time-out winner Donald (due to run in first division at 7:00); this 4yo could still be fairly treated off 3lb higher. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five wins in the first half of 2026, four of them over C&D; his last two runs have represented backwards steps but the return to this venue could perk him up. |
8/1 |
|
10th 9 (3) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins this year, with first four on AW and latest on turf at Redcar (7f, good) in May; placed twice since that last success but he didn't shine at Doncaster last time and he looks weighted near best off this mark. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Had a good season already and Toby Moore's claim is welcomed when he might be a shade high in the weights now; beaten 2l at Chester last time, just behind King's School whom he beat the time before. |

9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives late on the scene and she cut it fine over this C&D in August against Thunderous Love but that took her record in 6f turf handicaps to three from her last five attempts (all on good to firm; has gone close on good); has run well on Newcastle AW since and the likely strong pace will suit. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third turf win of a productive summer when edging ahead late on over 6f at Nottingham last month; the fact two fourths is the best she's managed in six previous attempts on AW is a slight concern but has to merit respect in current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Enjoyed a good summer at a lower level but a slow start did for her when odds-on in a small field a fortnight ago; clearly well suited by a stiff 6f and this will be a different test against a better class of opponent. |
