26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not as good or consistent as he was and is always capable of fluffing the start; has been running over 6f on turf in recent times and will need things to fall just so back to 5f. |
8/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Had been running well but has performed miserably in his last two races when awkward at the start both times. |

9st 8lb |
Good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk ten days ago when he wasn't on his best behaviour in the stalls; has the ability to feature off this mark but is not without risk. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who gained a first win for her current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June; her form has dipped since midsummer but latest Ripon fourth of 14 was respectable; close second over C&D on her only AW start. |
13/2 |

4th 10 (3) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish mare who gained a first win for her current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June; her form has dipped of late though so more is needed after a below-par seventh of ten at Doncaster (5f) 13 days ago. |
16/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Thirsk (5f, good) in June and ran well in defeat on next three starts; handles good to soft; reportedly never travelled when below par at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but can be in the mix if bouncing back. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Last scored in July 2024 but he was running respectably this year until a lesser effort at Beverley last month; had an excuse that day (anticipated the start and missed the break) and he's on a tempting mark; considered. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In very good form on the AW through the winter (scored twice at Newcastle) but he's yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and came in last of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap last time; others appeal much more. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has something to prove back on turf but is a leading player provided AW form is transferred back to this sphere; runner-up off 10lb higher at Southwell (5f) most recently. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Course scorer who arrives in good nick, just edged out when fourth of six in 5f Newcastle handicap 19 days ago; can make his presence felt again. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark. |
11/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks consistency now and has become hard to win with; down to a career-low mark but his record here is far from exciting and he's some way down the pecking order. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |
16/1 |
