24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark with an emphatic win over C&D in May but he's been up and down since and was disappointing at Sandown last time; overall record is now 2-33 and he comes with risks attached. |

Seems to handle most ground and the return to 5f looks to be in his favour, but a record of 2-32 (1-20 on turf) raises doubts. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent this year and goes without headgear for the first time in a while; won her novice over C&D on debut last summer and is down to career-low mark; capable if settling better back up from 5f. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Won her first two starts but she was a beaten favourite in this race last year (handicap debut) and has been beaten a further ten times since; inconsistent in 2026 and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins in the summer (5f, AW/good to firm) and she would have finished closer at Southwell (5f, AW) last Saturday if she'd had a clear run; won soft-ground 2yo maiden in 2024 on sole previous encounter with ground slower than good to soft; she's worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Wandered around late, but had her head in front where it matters at Doncaster (5f, good to firm; from 3lb lower) in July; not far off that level of form at Chester and Thirsk (5f, good; fourth to the thriving Azuinthejungle) since; must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form 4yo who has won twice over 5f (AW/good to firm) this summer and she didn't get the best of runs when a close fourth of 11 at Chester (5f, good) last time; on same mark here and she should be in the thick of things again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Notched a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps in midsummer; not so good since but he was badly hampered last 1f when seventh of 11 over C&D last time; no forlorn hope off a slipping mark. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps this summer but he's been well below par there and at Thirsk (5f) since; needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Beat the same horse in bagging two Class 5s at Pontefract (both by a length) but he trailed home last there four weeks ago in a Class 3; might be high in the weights now. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Placed on nine occasions, but now 0-16 and 5f appears to suit her best; another frame finish may be her best hope. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Thoroughly exposed maiden but she wasn't beaten far at Lingfield (5f, AW) when last seen eight weeks ago; has her first turf run in Britain; others look stronger for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden after 14 runs, five under Billy Loughnane, but has been involved in tight finishes over 5f on Tapeta on three occasions so ought to find a race at some stage and perhaps this first go on Polytrack will suit. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |
13/8 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Drawn wide back up to 6f last time and that run is best overlooked; previously in good form over C&D, winning at a short price late last month in 0-55 company, but this race is stronger and he's 6lb higher. |
12/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded his eighth AW win when coming from last to first at Southwell (5f) last week; 5lb higher under a penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 5f scorer in 2025; back to form with runner-up at Nottingham (5f) in May but he hung left when beating just two at Southwell (5f) last time; needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Confirmed his liking for Nottingham, where he won last autumn, when back-to-form second 12 days ago, again from the front; went close on Tapeta too around the turn of the year and enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from ten starts but that was a dominant display in a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in October; mixed results in three subsequent runs but he went close at Wolverhampton in December and may have needed his reappearance run at Southwell in March; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back at this track. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time C&D winner who rarely runs elsewhere now; not a bad effort back from a break last weekend and is 2lb lower (January victory came off an 8lb higher mark). |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four C&D wins all came off higher marks; they also came after a recent outing, which is a concern as he returns from a four-month break having lost his way in the spring; others have more pressing claims. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sprung a 33-1 surprise at Southwell last month (5f) but that has been followed by two disappointing runs; best turf form on good ground; others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Opened her account for her current yard over C&D in March but bumped start when last of eight in 5f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. |
