7th 4 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who has turned a bit of a corner in blinkers, finishing fourth at Southwell (AW; under Harry Vigors) and then nearly winning at Epsom 22 days ago (both over 7f); strongly considered. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo form, including a 7f novice win on AW; three heavy defeats in handicaps this year have seen him drop down the handicap and he now tackles his first Class 5 handicap; a revival may be foretold by the betting. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (11) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Landed the odds in a Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last September but he's struggled in three subsequent runs, including two handicaps; record is now 1-7 and has plenty to prove back in trip. |
25/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Came good with 7f Tapeta novice win in September, his fourth start; well down the field when dropped back to 6f on that surface for seasonal/handicap debut in April, though, and arrives here with a point to prove. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f AW scorer in the spring and resumed from five months off with an improved second of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; won on soft ground as a juvenile so he's a big player nudged up 2lb back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
In excellent form in April, winning at Wolverhampton (blinkered) and over C&D (visor); could still have more improvement to come but subsequent 145-day break may have checked his momentum. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Refitted with cheekpieces (retained today) when back to winning ways in nine-runner handicap at Beverley (7f) last month; up 4lb but can't be discounted in his current mood. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not at his best on soft ground here 24 days ago but he's better than that and this mark is well within range; likely to bounce back with a big run. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner in the past; began this campaign with two solid efforts and he is well treated if bouncing back; more recent efforts not quite so good though and he goes without headgear today; well drawn and handles soft ground so there are positives as well as negatives. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's in a position to make matters better, having finished a close second at Ripon (1m2f, soft) most recently; has C&D form; enters calculations. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 came at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September; placed at Thirsk (7f) in April and Hamilton (1m1f) in June, before a slight dip in form; latest Ayr fifth (1m2f, beaten under 5l) respectable; 2lb lower, with claiming rider Shay Farmer booked, so isn't discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Mid-division on both starts here but last three wins were on Newcastle Tapeta, including 2026 reappearance in April; not disgraced on sole start since (June) but does not appear the percentage call. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Excels over C&D, only once out of the frame in 14 runs and his fourth win coming on latest start here (good), when making all from Indefensible; still well treated and can go well in the bid to repeat his 2024 win. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
13 starts here have yielded three wins and eight places, albeit the latest success came nearly two years ago; arrives in form after a string of solid efforts and he's likely to make his presence felt again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

9th 10 (5) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Losing run is mounting up; however, well treated on best form and last few efforts (432) suggest her turn may be near; runner-up at Thirsk (7f) latest; not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive mare who was badly out of form when last seen in the autumn; needs to have been revitalised by subsequent break, and could be considered only if attracting market support. |
40/1 |
|
6 (8) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |
66/1 |

11 (13) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Good course record, with four wins (three at 7f) and a second from eight starts; caught wide when he ran poorly over C&D last month but it was a step back in the right direction when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago, and he's down to the mark he won a 6f course handicap from in May; draw not overly helpful but he's considered. |

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

A three-time 6f/7f winner in the first half of 2026; caught wide throughout when last of nine in 7f Catterick handicap four weeks ago and no surprise to see him bounce back here. |

Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |
