17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored four times here in 2025, including over this trip (soft) under Clifford Lee at this meeting; yet to fire this season but ran a bit better last time and dangerous to dismiss having returned to his last successful mark. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored four times here (three over C&D) in 2025; yet to fire this season however and never threatened when sixth of nine over 1m here three weeks ago. |

9st 7lb |
Won four handicaps here (1m-1m2f, good or slower) in the second half of 2025; yet to fire this time around and may need both slower ground and further help from the handicapper. |

Below form at Redcar last month but has become quite well handicapped on some of this season's 7f/1m form; not out of this if suited by the new trip. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Two near-misses this summer (1m1f/1m, good) prior to winning in a big field at York (1m, good to firm) in July; however, it seems he's gone off the boil and he is 3lb out of the handicap here. |
100/1 |

4th 4 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Thrived in the second half of 2025; enjoying another good campaign, including a York win (1m, good to firm) in July, but his last two runs have been short of his best; stable also run Jannas Journey. |
13/2 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went very close twice in a row this summer before winning 15-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; has also won on soft/heavy; below par at Hamilton last time but not written off in view of previous good form. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
7f is his trip but he doesn't arrive in the best of form and he's unproven on the AW (down the field only attempt); carries risks. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over 7f at Ayr on good and good to firm; nearly all his best form is on those surfaces and has work to do on the form of just two 6f handicaps in Britain. |
20/1 |
|
6th 9 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2-30 so he's hard to win with, but found only one too good last week at Musselburgh (1m, good); must have a chance, though might not appreciate the ground getting too slow. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered both wins at Ripon but he posted a respectable effort over C&D last time, finishing third, and again has place possibilities; best form gives him an even better chance today. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (12) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Ripon winner last summer who's regressed and run below market expectations on last two starts; this is easier off a career-low mark (9lb lower than when last successful) but he could have done without the recent rain. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
16-race maiden under rules; has been struggling on the Flat during the summer and made a belated return to hurdles when seventh of ten finishers at Perth (2m, soft) nine days ago; steps up in trip and has work to do. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Veteran who is 3-15 over C&D on ground ranging from good to soft; hard to predict these days, but capable of running well off if putting his mind to it. |

Went close last time at Catterick (7f, good) but following one good run with another can be challenging these days; has form on soft ground but 7f is his trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden; creditable third in a 7f handicap last month on only previous run here; can be forgiven a below-par run back on turf on first try at 1m last time (soft ground); needs to find a bit more. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not progressing in handicaps, despite making the frame at Newcastle last week (7f); unraced on ground this slow and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who hasn't really progressed since handicapping; didn't look suited by the drop back to 6f at Doncaster (good to firm) 40 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this second AW run. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Has posted her most encouraging British performances in C&D sellers, respectable third in latest start; has unconvincing handicap form but may fare better off current mark. |
10/1 |
|
4 (1) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the equivalent race 12 months ago; however, this is a stronger race and she's found things very tough this season. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won a seller in October but no worthwhile form in five handicaps since then. |
