5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since May; won three times last autumn (good to soft/soft) and is below his last winning mark; capable of a big performance. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hamilton specialist who ran well at that track on his seasonal return in May; too keen when disappointing at Pontefract later that month and absent since; has run well over C&D on slow ground in the past. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed her sixth win in emphatic style at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) in August off 9lb lower; unproven over 1m and may need to come down the weights before she can be considered. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (13) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Fine on soft and good ground; won by 6l at Ffos Las last month (7.5f, good) but a well-held third under a penalty at Haydock (7f, heavy) and now 6lb higher; has won at 6f but perhaps needs further now. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 1m on turf/Polytrack in June last year, but those are his only victories in 34 starts; 9lb lower than for the latest, but others still look more compelling; eyeshield removed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have been over 1m; went close here over 8.5f in February and kept on into fourth (behind Cooramook) after missing the break over C&D last time; will need things to drop right given his hold-up style. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden whose encouraging turf form includes a good second in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster; close fifth to Arkenstaar, despite traffic issues, at Pontefract last week; clear possibilities off same mark. |
9/2 |
|
9 (2) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Only had three races and the close second at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) is the standout run; bit risky. |
8/1 |
|
4 (4) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not without some promise on her belated debut over C&D in June and took a step forward when beaten half a length into second of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft; 66-1) last month; one for the shortlist. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins and four placed efforts from 12 visits to Newcastle; he has been in fair form this year and his latest Redcar effort wasn't as bad as the distance beaten suggests (third of the seven to race stands' side); big run on the cards back here. |
11/4 |
|
8th 12 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Notched a fifth success of 2025 in this contest; made the frame for the fourth time this season with fourth of 14 in 1m Southwell handicap 15 days ago; well in the mix once more with cheekpieces reapplied. |
6/1 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner (including here) in 2025; yet to hit top form in a light campaign this season though, coming in eighth of ten in handicap at Bath (1m) 22 days ago; others are preferred. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last season's two wins came at around a mile, the one over C&D; hasn't found his best form in three runs this summer but he is back to a winning mark as a result. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) in July and respectable third of six over C&D (good to firm) later that month; didn't see out 1m4f at Newmarket in August and he might not be far away now back down in trip. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran creditably, keeping on, last time when bidding for a Nottingham double (1m2f; maiden previously); remains in form and, as his dam's side confirms, looks worth another crack at 1m4f; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago off 3lb lower on his second run for this yard, with Jake Dickson aboard him; needs to come on again in this higher grade. |
100/30 |
