6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who ran well on slow ground last season and won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Chester (7.5f, good) in July; however, tailed off at 33-1 at Ripon (1m, good) and needs to bounce back from that flop. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been out of sorts in his three runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a big turnaround back at this trip; visor added. |

Four wins last year included one over C&D; enough good runs this year to bring her right into the reckoning. |

6lb above her last winning mark but has a course record of 12125 and was running on again in a Class 2 here 21 days ago after losing her position; respected. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got up late to win a 6f handicap at Brighton last month; disappointed at Catterick on Tuesday and this is tougher from 3lb out of the weights; has been rated much higher in the past though. |
14/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three Polytrack wins came over 7f-1m and found stamina kicking in late when winning off 3lb lower in a big field over this trip at Brighton recently; will want a similarly good test round here, and not too much rain (since taken out on good to soft ground). |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Promiment racer who is well drawn to attack; three creditable runs here for his new stable in 2026 but others appeal as being better treated. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |
9/2 |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ran into traffic at a crucial stage when fourth to Glenfinnan over C&D (good to firm) last month; similar form when fourth at Thirsk 17 days ago; each-way shout. |

Ran into traffic at a crucial stage when fourth at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago; capable of a prominent showing but he is the type that is always reliant on some luck in running. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7f winner here in August and next run (fifth at 9-4) possibly came too soon after that; returning to 1m will not inconvenience him, stall 2 should be ideal for a front-runner and he wears cheekpieces for the first time; one to consider. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Missed more than 18 months prior to a few lesser efforts in the spring, but has found his level again; enjoyed the run of the race when winning narrowly on Polytrack last Wednesday but set to go well again under a penalty for a yard in good nick. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Defied this mark over C&D last October but he's been up and down since and was laboured back at this track in August; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten ten times since his winning debut at Chester (7f, good) 12 months ago; prominent in the betting at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago but there was no upturn in his fortune; still appeals as the type to pop up soon. |
8/1 |
|
9th 5 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Chester (7f, good) last September but he's 0-9 since and has form figures of 8805489 in handicaps; now 18lb lower than for his opening mark but he needs a big turnaround back at this trip; eyeshields removed. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course scorer (also goes well on soft) but yet to fire this season and underwent breathing surgery before coming in only ninth of 12 over 7f here eight days ago; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces now. |
33/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Prolific course winner, including this race in 2024, and he has dropped a long way in the weights; that is a result of some low-key runs this year and a wind operation since the latest is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |
25/1 |
