30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years but he retains plenty of ability and has been performing with credit this summer; likely to be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |
|
9th 15 (15) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal. |
9/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Losing run continued when fifth of 11 over C&D (heavy; favourite) yesterday, beaten just under 2l; however, one of two handicap wins came over C&D (good; acts well on soft) and he has finished second and third in the last two runnings. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field at Newcastle four weeks ago but was in a first-time visor and his usual cheekpieces return today; he was in pretty good heart prior to last time and won on heavy ground last October; not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last year and he's finished a creditable fourth in last two runs including over C&D; needs to find a bit extra but he's still lightly raced on AW and new headgear could give him a boost. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in the second half of last year (various ground; the final one over C&D); he's struggled to get competitive for most of this year but has dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth of 13 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; another 2lb lower today and he's one to consider. |

2nd 12 (7) |
16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won on heavy ground last September and bagged a big-field handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) this May when 3lb higher than today; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and others have more compelling claims. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won in a big field at Thirsk (5f, good) in May but unplaced since and he was last in his group in the Ayr Bronze Cup; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beat a big field at Thirsk in May and ran pretty well here next time from stall 9 in a Class 3; backed that up with another competitive show and he got himself too far back at York last time; considered. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |
20/1 |
|
15th 5 (16) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 205y |
9st 12lb |
Three wins in Britain; placed 12 times, including on AW at Lingfield last month; could go well from a career-low mark (marginally) on Irish debut. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |
12/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gamely gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago; up 4lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D scorer is a likely player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Chester (5f, good) in July and he's been a close second on his last two starts, most recently off this mark in a big field at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday; he's a very solid contender. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for Simon Dow when making all in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in August; not so good twice since and stamina for 7f is unproven. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all and just holding on at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; couldn't build on it back there 13 days ago and may be better suited by that extra furlong now. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made all and prevailed narrowly over C&D last time, opening his AW account at the 14th attempt; back up 3lb but has defied higher marks on turf; likely to remain competitive. |
7/2 |
