1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Looked less than straightforward but ultimately responded well to change of headgear when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) most recently, taking record to 3-16; enters calculations in the retained blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ideally suited by good or slower ground and he's very effective on heavy; won at Doncaster in March (1m2f) and had a near miss at Goodwood in June but his form nosedived at Epsom 11 days ago; has bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back in new headgear. |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-33 on the AW but proved game when scoring by half a length at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Modest strike-rate of 1-32 on the AW, and that was at Newcastle, but he does act well over this C&D, having been involved in tight finishes in two of his three attempts and placed in the other; weighted to go well. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up mare who notched good-ground wins over 1m2f at Ayr and 1m4f at Thirsk this summer; below par at Newcastle last time but she's yet to prove she's as effective on AW and enters calculations back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Hold-up mare whose three wins have come on turf (good) and who's only run twice on the AW; a demanding 1m4f is as far as she wants off a career-high mark but nothing arrives in better form. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 1 (9) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields at Doncaster (1m4f) in her two handicaps; showed ability at this track earlier and career began only last September, so better could still be forthcoming; this is 4f further, however. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; consistently below market expectations of late and will want to settle better than over C&D last time, coming from stall 13 under a jockey taking just her third ride. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; will want a good test over this trip round here and hasn't been at his best on grass lately. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored twice (around 1m) at Ayr and Beverley last summer; back in decent nick in 2026, fifth in 8.5f Beverley handicap 22 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again from an easing mark. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Added to his Musselburgh win last spring when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell last time; that was an eye-catching effort and he could be dangerous back on turf. |
15/2 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins, including one over this C&D in May off a 5lb lower mark than today's; respectable effort when fourth behind younger rivals over 1m6f at Southwell ten days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip; could go well. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in May; turned in a rare poor run with eighth of 12 in 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last time; the sort to bounce back, though. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here. |
5/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though. |

C&D winner off 7lb higher in August 2024; mixed form since but sound run when third over C&D (good; second run after wind op, first with a tongue-tie) 17 days ago; has a chance on that run. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Regressive 5yo with modest 1-27 strike-rate; seemed to have benefited from wind op when respectable fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month but that race was slowly run and he needs to build on that performance; tongue-tie now added. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
