16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Landed a pair of 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract in June; not disgraced both runs since, coming in a close sixth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; this C&D winner is not out of things in a refitted tongue-strap. |

9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has made good progress this year, collecting three wins (7f-8.3f) along the way; below form on Tapeta last month (raced too freely) but further improvement remains possible. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner this year, the most recent coming when narrowly holding off Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in July; did well to finish as close as he did at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 12 days ago after his blindfold was removed late and has good claims if seeing out this stiffer 1m2f. |
7/2 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden who has not really progressed and was well held in a Redcar handicap (1m2f, good) last month; has something to prove and she needs new headgear to make a difference back on AW. |
25/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; fitted with cheekpieces on last two outings, good never-nearer third when upped to 8.4f at Beverley on first occasion but beaten 20l when trying 1m2f at Sandown (again good to firm; reverted to a much more prominent ride) on latest; others are a lot more persuasive. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; kept of for third when upped to 8.4f and fitted with cheekpieces at Beverley (good to firm) this month and looks worth a crack at this even longer trip but others in this field have more persuasive profiles. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Gained a first win in over two years at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in July; 3lb lower today, as he's not been so good recently, including over C&D on latest outing; others therefore have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained a first win in over two years at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in July and creditable third over C&D (good to firm again) later that month; hasn't reached the same level since but now 2lb below that successful mark and could bounce back for in-form yard. |
14/1 |

6th 10 (8) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Gained a first win in over two years over C&D in July but he has been well held in a pair of handicaps at Ripon since; needs to take a big step forward. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
The switch to this yard immediately paid off when she made all to narrowly land a Wetherby maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last month; well held back in a handicap last time, but she should cope with any softening of conditions. |
20/1 |
|

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Fair maiden for Ed Walker; made a winning start for new yard in five-runner maiden at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; not out of things back in handicap company, although yard also has Star Cast in here. |
7/1 |
Betting Forcast
9/4 Shimmering Sands, 9/2 Mwafaq, 7/2 Enamorus, 3/1 Kitsune Power, 11/2 Ziata
Verdict
Upped further in distance with the cheekpieces retained, ENAMORUS may build on her latest effort and get off the mark. Kitsune Power (second pick) holds solid claims, while Shimmering Sands warrants respect in his current form.[Steve Boow]
