7th 8 (4) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Commenced the campaign with turf/AW wins and has made the frame in most starts since, close second at Yarmouth latest; back up in class but receives weight all round; could go well. |
10/1 |

2nd 11 (8) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has won at this track on soft; upped markedly to 1m3f at Southwell (AW) last month and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run, followed admittedly by a lesser show at York but that was over 1m4f; could be a player back here at 1m1f. |
20/1 |

8th 16 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up a couple times this season, but he was beaten 14l after an awkward start at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and that took his overall record to 1-19; others preferred. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1-18 on other AW tracks (unraced here) but there's plenty on turf and AW to suggest that he has each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f course winner for Charlie Clover in October; 0-6 for current stable since April but posted sound effort when second of five over C&D (good to firm) in June and is another 1lb lower today. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been on the AW and was out of form when once tried here, and when previously fitted in a hood; on too good a mark to ignore on this return from a break. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (12) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best known for his Southwell exploits, but has run well here including a win over this trip; the outside stall is not ideal, though. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has run a number of good races in defeat this season and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and he has won over C&D in the past; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Sent off at 22-1 and bigger when unplaced on first seven starts for this yard but was just 9-2 when exploiting a reduced mark at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, form which has already been franked; this three-time turf winner is a major player if backing up that latest performance. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Proved resurgent with close second at Yarmouth (1m) last week; scored twice over C&D in February; possibilities returned to this scenario, provided he backs up the latest effort. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice over 7f on AW in February and seemed to have emerged from worrying slump in form when sixth at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) this month; needs to build on that effort but is on a good mark and 1m also suits. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a couple of 7f handicaps at Southwell in February; this mark in range judged on his second at Southwell in March but his last three runs have been poor and it is easy to have reservations at present. |
33/1 |
