21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to winning ways at Pontefract (1m, good) last month and found a surge of improvement to follow up by 7l against 13 runners at Redcar (1m, good to firm); he's 11lb higher than last time and in a higher grade but it remains to be seen where his limitations now lie; unraced on slow ground. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Kept on well to score at Pontefract (1m, good) last month and is now 2-7; 5lb higher in a more competitive race here might still have more to offer. |

Has run to a similar level in three turf handicaps since winning a Southwell novice (1m, AW) in March; still unexposed and again holds each-way claims at least. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Snapped a losing run dating back to June 2024 when holding on by a neck at Carlisle (1m, good) last week; generally consistent but hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up under a 4lb penalty. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Generally consistent this year but Sunday's York run was a big step backwards; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he has a modest strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
13th 18 (2) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
On a long losing sequence stretching back to June 2024 but has run some big races in the interim, including when fourth of 16 in this last year (good) and when a close third of 15 over C&D (good to firm) in July; can run well on soft ground; there's every chance that he'll be thereabouts. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Record is 3-24; incurs 6lb penalty but is effectively striking while the iron's hot, having rallied to justify favouritism in Thirsk handicap (7f, good to soft) last Saturday; has form over 1m; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Now 8lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last November; he has shown enough this year to think he retains a good portion of his ability; should go well. |
6/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 with 7f Newcastle victory and he's back in very good form of late, third of 14 in 1m handicap at Redcar a week ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course winner over 7f in March on his stable debut and also won at York (1m, good to firm) in June, those wins coming off a mark 3lb lower than today's; never threatened on his last two starts, including over 1m2f at Doncaster 11 days ago, but has each-way claims back on the AW. |
12/1 |
|
9th 13 (19) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner (7f/1m), most recently at York (good to firm) in July; never featured from off the pace there five days ago and now attempts this trip for the first time; could go well if seeing it out. |
16/1 |
|
9th 14 (4) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) in July and unlucky in running at Ascot (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; unproven on slow ground and not at the top of her game at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month, but this 3yo remains of interest in view of her progressive efforts in July. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m juvenile winner for Adrian Keatley; took a solid step forward on second start for this yard when fifth of 14 here (1m, good to firm) one month ago; one previous go at this trip was disappointing but pedigree suggests that shouldn't be held against him. |
14/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only five starts but finished well down the field when 66-1 for seasonal/stable debut at Haydock (1m, good) three months ago; not seen since; considered only if much stronger in the betting here. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Exposed seven-time winner; last win in July was off 3lb lower and when partnered by a 5lb claimer; good third last time at Thirsk when not helped by the drop back to 7f, but others are more tempting. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only six ran when he won over 1m here in August (Class 5) and he has come up short in Class 4 events twice since; others may have his measure back at 7f. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins have been over 7f for other yards; missed the break when favourite at Redcar (1m2f, good) 12 days ago, drops in grade on a career-low mark and may be worth another chance. |
11/2 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time winner for previous yard; just two runs for current one and ran well to be 2l off the winner over C&D last time having been dropped in from a wide draw; has another one to deal with but looks on the way back. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A fair 7f winner in 2025 for Grant Tuer; has failed to fire this season though, and underwent breathing surgery before coming in seventh in 1m handicap here for new yard two weeks ago; lots more is needed. |

Won six times in the first half of 2025; 0-8 this year but there have been some good runs along the way; last time wasn't one of them though and he is opposable despite a drop in the weights. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
33-1 winner on AW (7f) in January who ran well when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; three other outings this year don't come close, albeit he had an excuse when eased down last time; not easy to predict what comes next. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |
7/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |

Struck form with two wins at Yarmouth (both 1m, good to firm) in June but two lesser efforts have followed (albeit denied clear run last time) and he remains on a tough mark. |
20/1 |

10th 1 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing off this career-high mark when dropped back to 7f at Yarmouth last month but won twice over the straight 1m there (good to firm) in June and further progress is not yet out of the question. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |

9st 12lb |
Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

3rd 1 (11) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

9st 12lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten a neck by Saytaar over C&D (25-1; from 5lb higher, on stable debut) in March; form has nosedived since June, weakening quickly in an added visor (now discarded) at Redcar latest; return of Conor Whiteley is a plus. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; started off for current stable with two good runs over 1m in the spring but has suffered a worrying slump in form since and needs to be perked up by the addition of a visor. |

9st 10lb |
Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, although ground slower than good would pose a question mark. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Had cheekpieces on for the first time when winning over 1m at Pontefract in June and went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) next time; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up there over 1m2f last time and may have a bit more to offer at this trip. |

C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |

14th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |
