2nd 7 (11) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win over C&D off a 4lb lower mark in July (good; well drawn) and good third here next time (good); hasn't done as well since and double-figure draw a negative. |
14/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Course regular whose 16 starts here have yielded three wins and a further six placings; registered two good efforts either side of making all at Chester (5f, good) in July; not so good at Catterick last Wednesday but has won on soft and can't be ruled out. |

Made all at Chester (5f, good) last month off a 6lb lower mark than today's and ran well there under a more patient ride next time; has form figures off 213 when ridden by Myla Coppins and has to enter calculations. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won just two of his 36 starts and the second of them was way back in May 2024; he has run some solid races this season, including C&D, but he is prone to fluffing the start and that won't make life easy from stall 3. |
10/1 |
|
13th 15 (20) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but is in form, having made the frame in four of his last six races, and remains attractively treated on historical data; return to winning ways is not out of the question. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Extended losing run to 26 when finishing in midfield at Chester in July (again slowly away); has the ability to win off this mark but he is not a solid option. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who goes well on Tapeta; tacky ground was put forward as an excuse for latest effort, as favourite round Chester, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark in a big field containing other pace. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three wins earlier in the season and she ran as well as she ever has when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn to attack; handles good to soft but unraced on slower. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; creditable efforts in defeat in a trio of handicaps over this minimum trip since; just as effective at 6f and enters calculations with the Ivan Furtado stable among the winners. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Handicapper giving him every chance but he's been below-par in two runs back on the AW; fine on Tapeta but does need a revival. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (6) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner (from the front) who's slid to a handy mark; said to have hung right when below market expectations at Lingfield last time and needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run. |

Goes well around a left-hand bend; unlikely to have things his own way up front but he has the abiliity to win races off this mark. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Kept busy through the winter (won over 5f at Wolverhampton) but holding his form well, challenging wide when fifth of 11 in 5f Chester handicap nine days ago; considered. |
11/1 |

5th 3 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Zipped around Wolverhampton when recording a couple of impressive 5f wins this winter so this track should suit; two solid placed efforts since returned to turf; might find a few better treated though. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gamely gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago; up 4lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D scorer is a likely player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Chester (5f, good) in July and he's been a close second on his last two starts, most recently off this mark in a big field at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday; he's a very solid contender. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran out the impressive winner of a 5f fillies' novice at Lingfield (AW) on her debut last August; not come close to repeating it in four runs this year; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed 5f AW Lingfield novice on her debut in August but she's failed to go on in three subsequent runs, racing too freely when beating just one in 5f Goodwood handicap 24 days ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Thrice-raced filly who has failed to back up the form of her debut success (AW); never landed a blow at Chester switched to turf most recently; something to prove. |

9st 5lb |
1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |
20/1 |

9th 10 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but sole win was in a maiden in 2024 and he's been inconsistent this year; made some late headway when fifth at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last time but he's now 0-15 in handicaps and others are more solid. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Doesn't often run over this trip and has tended to get done for toe since dropped from 6f lately; a slow start from stall 12 at Chester did for him last time but others make more obvious appeal, returned to the visor from blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but he's lost his way in last six runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he failed to beat a rival at Southwell last time and needs a major revival. |
