24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Model of consistency this year, finishing second four times in succession before breaking her duck at Chester on Friday (6f, good); solid claims dropped into selling company. |

1st 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
In the frame all seven starts (5f-6f), including five second-place finishes; gave it a good shot from the front at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago and has the ideal draw from which to attack here; big player. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Doubled her tally at Ripon (6f) in April; below par this summer until much better signs with second of 12 over C&D 17 days ago; the winner has gone in again so she must enter calculations off the same mark. |
14/1 |

2nd 13 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Up-and-down form since her Ripon win (6f, good to soft) in April; back to that winning mark now but easy enough to have reservations about. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been rather disappointing since winning off 1lb lower at Ripon in April (6f, good to soft), including in cheekpieces two runs ago (last of 13 at York); effective at 5f; easier ground suits. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
His only success came in a 5f Beverley juvenile claimer last May; has bits and pieces of form this year but his latest eighth at Ayr one month ago will need improving on; new trip might help, however, and he races from a career-low mark. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise with fifth of 14 in 6f Doncaster handicap in June; more is needed if he's to double his tally here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Won a 5f claimer at Beverley last spring; on a good mark on his best handicap form and his latest Ripon fourth can be upgraded (not ideally positioned); each-way shout. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip. |
12/1 |
|
4 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won first two nursery starts (5f/6f, good/AW) and didn't run badly when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last time; needs something extra today but that can't be ruled out; unproven on slow ground. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Second start for Rebecca Menzies when close fourth over 6f here last month; failed to build on it when seventh over C&D since but still early days for this yard and has more going for her than most. |
4/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden who is yet to build on her initial efforts, but she was a close fourth of ten here over 6f two weeks ago, despite being short of room inside the final furlong; that was just her second start for this stable but she hasn't been at her best in three starts over this trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive maiden who's with her fourth yard already and has finished down the field in her last five handicaps; mark continues to fall but she needs a big turnaround back in trip. |

0-10 for the Fahey stable debut but ran on well from the rear to take second over 6f here for new trainer three weeks ago and, on that evidence, he looks well worth a crack at this longer trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 for the Faheys but has shown promise; not at his best on his last two starts and he makes his stable debut (sold 16,500gns in July) after 80 days off; betting to guide. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who has failed to progress but he was denied a clear run when seventh of 14 in a nursery at Redcar last month (6f, good to soft; beaten about 4l) and could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
7 (14) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Finished third on his first three starts (5f/6f, soft-good to firm); down the field on nursery debut at Doncaster (6f, good) and beaten 5l by Mossvale Diva when fourth in C&D seller (good) last Tuesday; something to prove but perhaps the return to slow ground will help and he's not written off. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Stiff task in a Doncaster nursery on Friday and finished down the field; he had earlier finished third in three sprint maidens and he's one to take seriously dropped in class; stable also run U Turn. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden who may be better at 5f but he's run some good races this year, including beaten just a nose at Beverley (5f, good to firm) two starts ago, and he might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 12 starts but he has gone close in two C&D handicaps (good to firm) this year and to his credit that he nearly got back up three weeks ago, in this headgear combination; in the thick of it. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only fourth in handicaps at Redcar and Carlisle on last two starts and needs something extra today if he's to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, he went close in a C&D seller (good to firm) last month and perhaps the return to Beverley will prompt a bigger performance. |

9st 5lb |
Won at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month on third start; has since finished last in her two nurseries (6f/5f; AW/good to soft); it's too soon to write her off but she arrives with something to prove. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

1,000 euros yearling; confirmed previous promise when off the mark in Beverley maiden last time (5f, good to firm); step up to 6f should suit; quite interesting on AW/handicap debut. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from break with two underwhelming 7f turf runs last month and is now 0-12 but might have needed the first outing and the ground was heavy last time; returns to Tapeta on a good mark; might fare better this time. |
13/2 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 but he's on a handy mark judged on his form early this year and he may have needed the outing when mid-division at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago following a five-month break; has shown some promise on soft ground; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
7th 11 (16) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to win in ten runs, but placed on five occasions, including last time when third at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; also a close third off this mark at Newcastle the time before; possibilities if he's ready to go after a break. |

Best form when second in a Chester maiden in July; has been below that form since, including in a couple of nurseries; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded and he needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
11 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second at Chester (6f, good) on second start but a lesser run followed at Newcastle (6f, AW) and soundly beaten on recent nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft); has to raise game in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
6 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

3 (1) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Both of his wins have been at Redcar, the most recent in a first-time tongue-tie over 7f nine days ago; has finished only eighth in each of his three starts on the AW and he's 2lb wrong under a penalty, but can't be ruled out. |

Sole win came on his first visit here, when he made a winning handicap debut in the 6f nursery (good to soft) on this card 12 months ago; it wasn't a bad effort when seventh of 16 back here (6f, good; Night Emperor third) a fortnight ago; now has a second go at 7f (gradually weakened at Ayr in July) with his visor making way for a tongue-tie. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |

Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |
