17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has an excellent record in this race, with a second in 2022 and wins in 2023 and 2024 (all on soft/heavy); only fifth to Lexington Blitz on good 12 months ago but his second (Lexington Blitz third) in the Epsom Dash (good to soft) shows he's still useful, and he can be made to look well treated on that form even from 3lb out of the handicap; any easing of the ground in his favour. |
9/1 |

7th 9 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Should be well treated but little to cheer this season; latest fifth of 16 at Doncaster (5f, good) was a bit better but he was subsequently reported to have bled from the nose. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Twice ran well over C&D (good/soft) in 2024, winning this race on first occasion; thrown in on that form but little to cheer this season, given a wind operation (his second) before penultimate start; latest was at least a step back in the right direction. |

Scored over 5f here last April; without a victory since though and beat only one on the back of a wind operation in 5f Hamilton handicap last time; others appeal more. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has placed form over the trip but she's 0-9 over 6f+ as opposed to 3-16 at 5f; didn't run badly on AW three weeks ago but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers this time. |
12/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Turf win here last month (5f, good); not so good at York a fortnight ago but that was a warm race; promise in each of her three AW starts thus far; not ideally drawn though and others perhaps stronger for win purposes. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to predict and he's finished down the field the last two starts, but it is only four runs since he made all at Ayr (5f); 36 of his 40 starts have been on turf but he has finished runner-up over C&D; comes with risks but a player on a going day. |
16/1 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hard to predict and finished last of 21 at York four weeks ago, but it's only three runs since he made all at Ayr (5f, good), and he also led from start to finish in this race in 2024; comes with risks but dangerous if on a going day. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Made all to win a 5f handicap at Ayr in July; only fourth of five at Musselburgh later that month; has run well over C&D in the past and won't mind what the weather does; one to consider. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks, including a win in this race on good 12 months ago; below par in recent starts but things didn't go his way at Goodwood last time and he's well treated if staging a revival having dipped to 3lb lower than when third (Vintage Clarets second) of 20 in the Epsom Dash (good soft) in June. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks and was a ready winner over this C&D in May before having an awkward passage in 6th of 23 at the big meeting here in July; front-running at York didn't come off ten days ago but he has to be of interest on the earlier form. |
11/2 |

20th 6 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever this year following a gelding operation, winning at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and running with credit at Epsom (the Dash) and Glorious Goodwood since; should give his running but might find one or two better treated today. |

9st 12lb |
Winless since June 2024 but he resumed from a 12-week break with a good third of ten in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; this veteran must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
8yo who wasn't beaten far in seventh of nine at Pontefract (5f, good) in June, following a break; back from another 84 days off today but he has some good course form and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Two wins this year, notably when seeing off 16 rivals in the 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' at York (5f, good to firm) in July; unplaced in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon four weeks ago; well drawn but a career best is required to win. |

Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |

Usually leads; has been off since winning narrowly at Redcar (5f, good to firm; handles good to soft) in August but he went close on his reappearance (6f) here in April and also gave a good account when runner-up in the Class 2 on this card 12 months ago; likely contender. |

Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Mixed form across his last few starts and down the field at Ripon (6f, good) three weeks ago, however, seven days earlier he was a creditable fifth of 23 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, heavy) and he won twice over 5f in the summer (good/good to firm); not ruled out. |

9th 5 (2) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Gained a third success of 2026 at Beverley (5f) in July; runner-up in Great St Wilfrid over this C&D last month and posted another very good effort with fifth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago; well in the mix eased 1lb. |
9/1 |

5th 10 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runs; all five wins at 5f, including on heavy; useful 6f form when runner-up in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month, albeit helped by racing against the stands' rail; dropped right out in the Portland at Doncaster since and this is also highly competitive; yard has won two of the last seven runnings. |

9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner who scored at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but he's not matched that form since and was out the back at Newcastle last month; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs to turn things around. |
