26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who goes well on Tapeta; tacky ground was put forward as an excuse for latest effort, as favourite round Chester, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark in a big field containing other pace. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three wins earlier in the season and she ran as well as she ever has when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn to attack; handles good to soft but unraced on slower. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; creditable efforts in defeat in a trio of handicaps over this minimum trip since; just as effective at 6f and enters calculations with the Ivan Furtado stable among the winners. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13-race maiden but he's been placed five times and didn't get much luck when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; now returns to a novice but he should be fine back at this trip and his best form puts him firmly in the picture; hood removed. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 13-2 or shorter on eight occasions, mainly over 5f; headgear goes back on as he returns to 6f but he's often pulled hard in the hood and can miss the break, so there are risks involved. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Can pull hard; three places but no wins from 11 starts; capable of going well, as he showed when second in two races in the spring (one on the AW) but not particularly consistent. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won at York (5.4f, good to firm) in July and has run well to be placed on both starts since (5.4f/6f, good to soft/good); also effective on soft going (unraced on heavy); this progressive 3yo could be involved. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
In good nick since handicapping this year and he gained due reward for a string of solid efforts when scoring at York (5.5f, good to firm) in July; also a fine third of 21 over that C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago and he's hard to knock from the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (13) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed prior to his breakthrough C&D win 44 days ago and there was a lot to like about the way he knuckled down close home; that form hasn't really worked out but this 6lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
5f novice (good) winner last spring whose best form this term came when fourth of 14 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; way below that level in four subsequent starts, however; cheekpieces, worn on the last two occasions, are removed. |
16/1 |

13th 7 (10) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Without a victory since his debut and tried in cheekpieces when a below-par eighth of 12 in 5f Beverley handicap 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
40/1 |
|
8th 12 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran quite well over C&D in May and he is 7lb lower today; that is a result of two lacklustre efforts subsequently and connections now turn to cheekpieces; risky but not impossible. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden but he's shown enough to win a race, as when third of six at Beverley (5f, good; not clear run) last time; acts on AW and he's dropped to a career-low mark; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

0-8 but he has threatened better; attracted support at Leicester (5f, good to soft; visored first time) and ran okay; still has time to do better; each-way claims. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Ran well over C&D on his 2yo debut 11 months ago; no progress since, including after a wind op on his last two starts; a change of headgear needs to spark extra from him. |

9st 1lb |
Won an Ayr maiden (6f, good) and a C&D novice (good to firm) last August; some fair runs in handicaps this season, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten a long way with cheekpieces added at York last time; stablemate of Bleep Test. |
8/1 |

13th 14 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Beaten favourite in three of his last four starts, including C&D; peak efforts give him a chance but not a compelling option. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame on all five starts last season, including when fourth on handicap debut over C&D on final outing (2-1 favourite); pulled hard when below-par on Beverley reappearance (5f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; interesting down in grade. |

9st 3lb |
Dual AW winner who is 0-9 on turf but he came from rear to finish a close third over C&D (good) last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and he's a big player if he can back that up. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a second success at Newcastle (5f) in July; not so good on turf but he posted a respectable fourth of seven in 6f handicap here last month; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark now. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

His only success came in a 5f Beverley juvenile claimer last May; has bits and pieces of form this year but his latest eighth at Ayr one month ago will need improving on; new trip might help, however, and he races from a career-low mark. |

2nd 1 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

3yo who has seen plenty of action but he's unexposed on AW; won at Doncaster and Redcar this summer and he's finished runner-up on Polytrack and turf in last two starts; his latest run was just three days ago but that was a bold bid in a Class 4 event (6f, good) and he's respected on this drop back in grade. |

6f AW win for Ralph Beckett last October; struggled in handicaps for this yard, including after a wind op three weeks ago; the addition of cheekpieces, drop to 0-55 company and return to AW (1-1) are the straws to clutch at. |

Sole win was in a small-field novice at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last autumn but she's on a reduced mark and was an eye-catching second at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago; should go well again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
