16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's run well in the main (including on soft ground) since winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July and was fourth of 13 at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) on Sunday; the drop back to 5f could help; in with a chance. |
14/1 |
|
13th 17 (13) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; three turf wins include a 6f Listed on soft as a 2yo but two subsequent successes have come on the AW; likely to need more than a recent Goodwood fourth (6f, soft) when helped by his track position. |
16/1 |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice for previous trainers; sold for 27,000gns to join current yard in August but was beaten 14l on stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) two weeks ago; may need to come down the weights. |
20/1 |
|
4 (11) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Of interest on his best form for previous connections; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he is drawn wide now starting out for Ian Williams (sold for 27,000gns in August). |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Ran poorly when favourite for a C&D handicap in May; in good form prior to that and a return to form would come as no surprise; high on the list. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Form figures under Chloe Lyons read 1212, that initial success over C&D (good) in May and the partnership scored again (by 6l) on the July course (7f) last month; was 2lb well in under a penalty when second over latter C&D (good to firm) one month ago but looks likely to give another good account. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has had plenty of racing since winning on the Rowley course (7f, good) under Chloe Lyons in May but he found something new when striding right away over this C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; due an 8lb rise so 3lb well in; much respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C&D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
13 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |
|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Struggled in a Class 2 at Ascot last time but he had run well in four of his other five starts this season; on a competitive mark and seems fine on most surfaces. |
7/1 |
|
8th 14 (14) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
He has run well in four of his five starts this season, over 6f (here) and 5f, but this looks a stiff task. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this in 2024 (good) and fourth of 16 last year (soft); went close at Newmarket (5f, good) last month and, although this 8yo wasn't seen to best effect when third of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) eight days later, he's firmly in calculations back at Doncaster. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Kempton handicap in June (6f) off a 3lb higher mark; not matched it twice in the meantime but has been gelded since his latest run and this mark should be within range; more appealing than many. |
9/2 |
|
1 (8) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Often leads, as when wide-margin winner of 6f Lingfield novice in January; had a tough task on handicap debut but two subsequent defeats, over C&D and at Wolverhampton, suggest he has his share of weight. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |
|
2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Winner at Ripon (5f, good) and Windsor (5f, good to firm) this season; acts on soft, but hasn't run up to his best on three previous starts here. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner who isn't too fussy about the ground; had a quiet spell for last trainer but has taken advantage of a handy mark for new yard this year, winning twice over 5f, and he looked to be still in form at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 (7) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer with a 4-9 strike-rate on AW; lacklustre run at Kempton six weeks ago but in a strong race; down in class but the widest stall isn't ideal. |
6/1 |
|
12th 4 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; 4-8 on AW with a record of 231 at Kempton (the win over this trip); drawn wide when below his best at Chester last time; likely to face competition for the lead in this field. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made it 4-8 on the AW when making most at Wolverhampton early last week; stall 7 isn't ideal for a front-runner under the penalty, especially one who's having a first run at shy of 6f and boasts a patchy record on turf; bit to overcome. |
4/1 |
