19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a drop into Class 4 company when winning over C&D last month; not in the same form at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) three weeks later but he is 4lb lower than when second to Thunder Roar in this race last year; each-way shout. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far. |

1st 1 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and some of that has been here, although not on his latest visit in July when only eighth; however, he's one of a few in here who would appreciate softening ground and firmly enters the reckoning. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; won well at Thirsk (good) on penultimate start, then finished 1l second to Monoceros at Haydock (again over 1m; soft) latest; in the mix. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Likeably consistent and overcame a wide draw with ease at Thirsk 22 days ago (1m, good) to earn this 9lb higher mark; that asks questions of him back in a higher grade, but the chances are he's very progressive; fine on soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (15) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual AW scorer last term; close third at Ayr (1m) in most recent turf attempt; getting scant help from the assessor but Mason Paetel's useful 3lb claim could make a difference. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often front-runner but not when he won twice on the AW last August, including here over 7f; 8lb above the most recent success but he gave it a good go from the front when third at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago; has to be considered. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gave it a good go from the front at Southwell (7f; fine at 1m) recently but he's been found wanting a few times since his last win, off 7lb lower on the AW last August; rain is forecast and he's unraced on ground slower than good. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Likes give underfoot but has won on good ground; on last winning mark (April) and he was closing on the principals in a Class 2 at Ripon late last month; respected in his bid to go one better than 12 months ago. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran creditably at Ayr in the latest start of his light 2026 campaign; steps back up in grade but could go well returned to this scenario, having gained his most recent success over C&D (in April). |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Narrow win in a 7f handicap at Carlisle (good to soft) last month; stretched by 8.4f on heavy ground here 23 days ago; shouldn't be too far away back in trip. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (10) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Versatile ground-wise and comes into this off the back of a narrow success at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago; only 3lb higher but he may be better over a furlong shorter. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |

Versatile ground-wise and all four wins have been at 7f on turf; his mixed record this season but he wasn't beaten far at Ayr (1m) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his last success; not ruled out back in trip. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) and a chance on that effort; following run perhaps came too soon and last time he had to deal with heavy ground; 3-4 at this track, he's a serious player. |
6/1 |
|
8th 3 (12) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
100-1 when fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) last month and his run at Ayr eight days later may have come soon enough; now back off his last winning mark and has shown good form on soft ground; high on list. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Successful in France and Ireland; first run of note for this yard when beaten just over 4l at Ayr (1m, good) a month ago; likely to come good sooner or later and his yard has done well at Chester this season. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Successful in France and Ireland; impossible to make a case on his five runs for Ian Williams but he'll probably come good again at some point and any rain wouldn't harm his cause. |
20/1 |

11th 10 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |

Winner in France and Ireland, but has beaten a total of one rival in four starts on the AW since joining this yard; down another 3lb, but hard to warm to unless the market suggests otherwise; stable also runs Echalar; non-runner 4.10 Chester Thursday. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
When successful in a division of this race 12 months ago she was recording her seventh win of the year; just one win to her name this time around but she has run several good races, including a close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; solid claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Successful seven times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but she went too freely when ninth of ten in 1m Ayr handicap 13 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |

8st 12lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June (final start for Ross Burdon) but has failed to beat a rival in three starts for Iain Jardine; the return to a softer surface may help but could only consider if lively in the betting. |
33/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |
