Progressive on turf in early summer before things didn't pan out his way in first-time blinkers (removed) round Chester when last seen two months ago; quite possible this mark will prove within range. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
4yo with only six races behind him and has gone 2-3 in handicaps with narrow verdicts at Thirsk and Musselburgh (again 5f, good); essentially 5lb higher than last time as Zak Wheatley claimed 3lb that day, but he's got a good draw and first-time headgear; respected. |

9st 8lb |
Soft ground presumably behind her latest effort (off for four months since); won her maiden over this trip on Polytrack but she's not short of toe (done a lot of racing over 5f) and stall 10 doesn't look ideal; on a winning mark though. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to predict and he's finished down the field the last two starts, but it is only four runs since he made all at Ayr (5f); 36 of his 40 starts have been on turf but he has finished runner-up over C&D; comes with risks but a player on a going day. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hard to predict and finished last of 21 at York four weeks ago, but it's only three runs since he made all at Ayr (5f, good), and he also led from start to finish in this race in 2024; comes with risks but dangerous if on a going day. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time turf winner who turned things around with a front-running third over C&D (good; hood reapplied) last month; this is a deeper race but he ties in with Emperor's Son on that latest form and has claims if he can build on it. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Recorded his fourth win when taking five-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) in June but there have been diminishing returns subsequently; possible he prefers this sort of field size and there's nothing wrong with his mark if he can stage a revival. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Successful off this mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in June but he hasn't beaten many home in three runs since; has a C&D win to his name but soft ground not sure to suit and others are safer. |

11/1 |

8th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Multiple 5f-6f winner who acts on slow ground; 0-9 in 2026 but his better efforts in that period would give him each-way claims, if the forecast slower ground proves to be advantageous. |

|
4th 7 (12) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Two 6f wins earlier in career but he does most of his racing over 5f these days; some promise over that trip at Hamilton in August but he hasn't looked like coining in on a favourable mark since; remains with queries. |
