19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle last week; Flat form this year features Newbury success that completed a 1m4f Class 4 double; however, faces a stiffer task off current mark in this grade. |
14/1 |

1st 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed promise when making the frame on all three hurdle starts last winter; won twice on the Flat during the summer following wind surgery and looks sure to make his presence felt back hurdling. |
7/4 |

15th 11 (15) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Front-runner; won at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May; second or third in small fields in all four runs since, with 2m1f failing to work out on latest but he was a good second over C&D (good to firm) the time before; player. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |
100/30 |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on fast turf at Yarmouth (1m1f) and Bath (extended 1m3f) in the spring; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat since; likely to be competitive with Conor Whiteley taking 5lb off. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing last of four at Catterick in July but mostly in good form this term, winning twice; if back on song he should have a part to play. |
8/1 |
