9st 11lb |
Often leads; seven wins in 2026, mostly in sprints but also over C&D; much higher in the weights than his latest 7f win in July but he won with authority on Southwell AW last month and perhaps a further 7lb rise won't be beyond him. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished with a flourish for second at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting (5f, soft); her defeat at Hamilton three days later is excusable but Monday's Hamilton fourth, when outpaced before making some late headway, doesn't suggest she is the answer today. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Below par at Hamilton eight days ago but the race possibly came too soon after running well at Ayr (5f) a few days earlier; higher in the weights than ever, however. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Finished behind three of today's rivals over C&D 18 days ago but she showed better form when flying home to take second (first in her group) in a 5f handicap at Ayr (soft) on Thursday; good chance in a race featuring plenty of pace. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doesn't win very often but had her day in the sun when making all over C&D in June off 4lb lower; largely consistent since but win record of 1-20 on turf is offputting. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made all to win a C&D handicap last month; in and out since but she wasn't beaten far at Ayr on Monday and this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but she's been up and down since and was a well-held fourth at Hamilton last time; overall record is now 2-30 and she comes with risks attached; one of three runners for the yard. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has plenty of C&D form, including three wins prior to this season and a resurgent effort (close second) in reapplied cheekpieces latest start; attempts at this race have produced form figures of 345; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Her last three wins have all been over C&D but she hasn't been firing recently; the return to this track for the first time this year needs to have an impact. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Posted a good third over 5f here in June but she's beaten just one rival in two subsequent outings at Hamilton and back here; this course scorer needs to take a big step forward. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
5f handicap wins at Redcar and Nottingham this year; close up in second at Bath and Musselburgh on his last two starts; should remain competitive. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's been up and down this season but has won twice (5f, good to firm) and was a good second at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time when denied a clear run; no surprise if this progressive 4yo makes amends today. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Northern raider who has won twice on fast ground over 5f this season; had poor track position when below form at Beverley recently; no surprise if he bounces back quickly over this slightly longer trip. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 23 starts but he made a bold bid and was only narrowly denied in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; has leading claims if he can back that up. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |

5f wins at Ayr and Wolverhampton this summer; respectable midfield finish at Musselburgh two weeks ago; patchy record at Newcastle but this is not a strong race. |

6th 7 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner; down the field in this race the last two years but there are reasons to expect better this time, with recent form figures featuring two wins (turf/AW). |
13/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
She made a promising seasonal return in April but it has been downhill ever since; won this race in 2024 but she arrived in much better form; enough to prove. |
12/1 |
|
12th 12 (13) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
The most recent of her five wins a came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last September; yet to match the level of April's reappearance effort in seven starts since, including when sixth behind Royal Duke over this C&D two weeks ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 13 (11) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Her last win came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 11 months ago but after a promising reappearance in April it's largely been a struggle; seventh of ten at Hamilton off 1lb higher last Friday will need improving on. |
