16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June and back on song when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; raced wide when close sixth of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last time; should be fine back at 5f; possible player. |

6th 9 (6) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; many good efforts since back from a short break in June 2025, four wins including one at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September; closely involved on Kempton AW since and entitled to have a say. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back up close to a career-high mark at the age of nine having sprung a surprise on turf off 2lb lower last time; lacks consistency now but merits respect as a five-time C&D winner. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Most of his runs on turf have been on soft ground and he's won three times on that surface; runner-up at Lingfield (6f) in June but below his best in both starts since (soft turf/AW); could return to some form and run well. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One-time very smart but now on the downgrade and often slow to break; modest efforts of late and hardly the percentage play. |
18/1 |
|
12th 2 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a 7f AW handicap in February; two solid AW runs (6f) in July and he should go well back on turf; rain won't hurt his chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
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 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual sprint winner on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well when favourite for big-field event at Thirsk (5f, good; finished 1l third) most recently; warrants respect off same mark. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won four times, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark than today's, and bounced back from a lesser effort when third of seven at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last time; on a handy mark but unproven on ground slower than good. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
The step up to 7f didn't bear fruit at Haydock three weeks ago but she had been placed in 6f handicaps in her two previous starts; 2lb lower than for her last win; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Nearly won on turf in June but comfortably held since, beating one rival in his last two races; couldn't be confident about him. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run and added to a patchy record this season when beating one in 6f Southwell handicap 12 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |
