13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-9 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell in July on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race but he failed to fire in anything like that manner when back on turf at York (2m, good). |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
0-8 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell early last month on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race; has a 6lb higher mark in this very different contest but he's unexposed at the trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has some good form on turf but latest defeat took his record in that sphere to 0-8; two attempts on AW comprise a win at Lingfield (1m2f) on debut and keeping-on third at Kempton (1m4f) in May; unexposed on artificial surfaces and looks interesting assuming he stays the new trip. |

2nd 3 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over C&D last autumn, including his stable debut in November off 2lb lower; his latest C&D second was a remote one and perhaps vulnerable for win purposes again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |

9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't jump well when a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m, good) last October on sole previous hurdle start; however, he's shown useful form when winning three times on the Flat this year and will be a serious force if able to transfer that ability to this code; trainer won this last year. |

3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-15 on AW, including two wins at Southwell, for Gay Kelleway; far from solid on his form since last success but market support should be heeded on debut for new stable; still in same ownership. |
10/1 |

10th 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark. |
11/4 |

4 (2) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference. |
