25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
AW regular whose 17 starts here have yielded four wins, including when she scored over this trip three weeks ago; that was her third success since starting out for this yard in the spring and she's a leading candidate despite career-high mark. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly for Conor Whiteley (then claiming 7lb) off 2lb lower three months ago; has never won off a mark this high, so will need to be at her best back from six weeks off. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight AW wins, including under Conor Whiteley at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in May and Newcastle (1m4f) in June; failed to prove her effectiveness on turf on latest start and the trip this short is a concern, but she has to be respected back on AW. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on his three starts here, all over this trip, including when he scored off 2lb higher in February and when giving Rubellite plenty to think about in first-time cheekpieces in June; like most of the field he was stuffed at Chester last time but his prospects are much brighter returned to this venue. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (13) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner at around 1m4f and his best efforts on turf have been at Beverley; failed to beat a rival home at Haydock (1m6f, good) last month and now steps up to 2m with a tongue-tie added; best to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |

7th 8 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has made the frame several times this year including when third of seven over C&D (good to soft) in May, but a record of 0-22 is hard to ignore. |
16/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed a few times this year but well beaten at Newcastle two starts ago and she hung badly left and unseated her rider at Ripon last Thursday; remains a maiden after 20 starts and others make greater appeal. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins and a number of places to his name over hurdles; only 2l away on the AW 16 days ago when returning from a year off; handicapped to go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning at Bangor last April and he was placed there on his next start; disappointing at Aintree when last seen 357 days ago and he's best watched on his return to this sphere. |
16/1 |

3 |
16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 103y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Doubled hurdling tally with clearcut win at Bangor (2m, good) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a few days later; Sean Bowen takes the ride today; likely contender again. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair 2m Flat winner; yet to score in this sphere but proved well suited by the step up in trip when a very good third of 16 in 2m6f handicap at Ballinrobe 15 days ago; up 4lb but this Irish challenger merits serious consideration. |
11/4 |

3rd 13 |
24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
10st 10lb |
AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |

8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-11 (hurdles/Flat); well held at Lingfield (1m5f, good) on her debut for this yard last August and it was the same story in four starts over hurdles; pulled up at Fakenham when last seen 138 days ago and others are preferred. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Lightly raced but he's shown very little and he needs a sizeable step forward if he's to make a serious impact today. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
