5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has made good progress this year, collecting three wins (7f-8.3f) along the way; below form on Tapeta last month (raced too freely) but further improvement remains possible. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner this year, the most recent coming when narrowly holding off Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in July; did well to finish as close as he did at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 12 days ago after his blindfold was removed late and has good claims if seeing out this stiffer 1m2f. |
7/2 |

5th 8 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and didn't show enough in two Carlisle outings for new yard over the summer to be overly optimistic about his prospects back from 99 days off. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Tends to be slowly away and is the type who needs everything to drop right if he's to win, but he's run several good races on AW this year and was fourth of 14 back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
4th 16 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner who is fine at 7f or 1m; has been running well for a while and latest effort in the new visor at Newcastle can be upgraded. |
14/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well at this level in recent weeks, coming from last to first over 1m here before finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); just as effective at 7f; the blinkers he's worn on his last five starts are now replaced by a first-time visor; should go well again. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark for 2026 when readily seeing off ten rivals at Ayr (7f, good) in July; well short of that level back at Ayr 13 days ago; disappointed as favourite in one run at Musselburgh. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest in July (good); freshened up a respectable fourth back here eight days later; won't mind what the ground does. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |

9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in June and has continued in good nick, third of 12 in 6f Pontefract handicap nine days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton in June and he's also had some close calls this season including at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; now drops back in trip but he was only just caught after setting a strong pace last time and is a key player off unchanged mark. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Catterick specialist who was scoring for the fourth time there when landing 7f handicap (good to soft) in September; has form elsewhere but he wasn't able to show it when finishing lame at Musselburgh a fortnight ago; same mark. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner 12 months ago; his three wins for Ruth Carr this year have all come at Catterick over 7f, the latest when overcoming traffic issues three weeks ago; the third has won since; one to consider despite his 3lb rise. |
6/1 |

1st 6 (1) |

9st 5lb |
Two wins in May, each off a mark 2lb lower, took his record over C&D to 3-5; continued in good form since, latterly in cheekpieces (removed on today's drop back in trip), and is one to consider. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
He recorded a convincing win at Southwell (AW) last September and was beaten just a neck at Doncaster (again 7f, good to soft) in May; became upset in the stalls when flopping next time and was beaten the thick end of 30l when last seen in June; three-month break may have refreshed him. |
11/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell winner (7f); couldn't hold off a late challenge at Doncaster (7f; 13-2) on penultimate start; restless in the stalls and ran too free when favourite at Beverley latest; perhaps a few pounds too high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Registered sole win on AW but he produced a career-best RPR when going down by only a neck at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) most recently; possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

Narrowly scored over C&D (good to soft) last September and she went close at Beverley (7.5f, good) in June; way below that form in four subsequent outings and will need to stage a revival with Cieren Fallon taking over. |

7th 2 (8) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

14 starts here have yielded two wins and a runner-up spot (all at 7f); went very close at Beverley (7.5f, good) in June but she's been in moderate form across three starts subsequently; needs a revival back down at 6f. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who was drawn wide over 1m at Thirsk last month before finding 6f too sharp here latest; today's 7f from stall 3 is fine (dual C&D winner) and, while she has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, any rain would help her chance. |

Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact. |

Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
