9th 5 (2) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Gained a third success of 2026 at Beverley (5f) in July; runner-up in Great St Wilfrid over this C&D last month and posted another very good effort with fifth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago; well in the mix eased 1lb. |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runs; all five wins at 5f, including on heavy; useful 6f form when runner-up in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month, albeit helped by racing against the stands' rail; dropped right out in the Portland at Doncaster since and this is also highly competitive; yard has won two of the last seven runnings. |
33/1 |

20th 18 (15) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two front-running 5f wins this summer; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract in July but ran well for second in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; this trip should suit; each-way shout. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won eight times on turf, seven of them over 5f, all on stiff tracks; well drawn, acts well on soft ground, and decent fourth at Beverley last time; interesting in first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his two Beverley wins when scoring on Tapeta at Southwell (6f) in January; only 1lb higher than for that success and he's run plenty of good races since including when third at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; respected on his first run after another wind operation. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Third of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) in July then runner-up at Thirsk (5f, good); merely mid-division at York most recently but the good to soft ground may have been against him; one to consider on AW debut. |
11/4 |
|
11th 14 (18) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
5f nursery win (good to firm; trained by Bryan Smart) in 2024; missed 2025 but he retains all his ability and has run three good races in defeat this year; looks well up to winning off this mark and he's one to take seriously. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Thriving of late and she cosily made it two wins from her last three starts in ten-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 13 days ago; up 3lb but this C&D scorer seems sure to be on the premises again with promising 5lb claimer Conor Whiteley up again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month and beaten only 1l when fourth of seven off this mark at Newmarket (5f, good) subsequently; has run well on good to soft ground; could again be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Led close home to win this race a year ago (good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet with another narrow success at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; likely contender. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; on a lenient mark but his losing sequence is mounting and he had no obvious excuses when beating just one home at Beverley three weeks ago. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; on a good mark and his latest Hamilton third offered hope he would be adding to his tally soon; tongue-tie returns today; considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |
