6th 7 (3) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Front-runner who won when back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good) in July, then finished second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) before getting back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m4f, soft); Chester brings out the best in him but no surprise to see a bold bid on his first visit here. |
9/2 |

1st 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual-purpose 8yo; runner-up in a division of this last year (on good to soft) under Jonathan Burke and a C&D winner in July (good; 1lb lower); readily outpointed when second at Brighton last month but remains in good form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He won here (1m4f, good) in April and has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); his course form figures read 122 and there is every chance that he'll again be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower in April who went in again off his lower turf mark four weeks ago; both came for Harry Vigors in small fields and there's no reason not to expect another decent showing. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win this season but has been pretty consistent and is edging down the weights; once ran quite well on soft ground but confidence in him would be higher on a quicker surface, particularly over this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
On a losing run but he's proving consistent this season and posted a solid third of six in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; this course winner ought to be thereabouts once more. |

3rd 4 (1) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Went back-to-back over C&D and at Chester last summer; 0-10 since last success but that was off 5lb higher and he gave it a good shot when a close third at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week; has leading claims if he can back that up and he's still unexposed on AW. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; soft ground provides a possible excuse at Beverley last time but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) and he's been beaten 3l or less on his last four starts, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) four weeks ago; soft ground would be an unknown but he's below his last winning mark and drops back down in grade. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Overcame a slipping saddle to score on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 18-1, from 5lb lower) in May; kept busy on the Flat at Chester lately, producing creditable efforts (fourth and runner-up); still low mileage as a hurdler, with the potential to rate higher. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |
15/2 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles in May; runner-up over C&D in June but only sixth behind Nibras Gold the following month; could still go well, having finished second in a division of this last year. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since, including fourth (Star Start second) in a similar race at Ripon (1m3f, soft) under Daniel Perrrin on Monday. |
7/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since including when a 2l fifth of 11 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time; should be in the mix again and he's versatile ground-wise. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Regressive and inconsistent in recent times, finishing well held a couple of times since a surprise Epsom win off 1lb lower in July; the return to the AW won't hurt, as a four-time Tapeta winner, but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A tongue-tie was added to cheekpieces when off the mark for this yard, getting up late at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) in July; weak in the market under a penalty when beaten 5l in amateur riders' event over C&D (good) the following week; combination of this trip and slow ground will be new to him. |
