27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Career-low mark when he finished strongest for a Doncaster win (1m2f, good to firm) in August; probably unlucky not to follow up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago, as he had to be switched over 1f out and ran on well to lose out by half a length; now 6lb higher than at Doncaster but this resurgent 4yo looks set to go well again. |

2nd 7 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Career-low mark when he finished strongest for a Doncaster win (1m2f, good to firm) one month ago; back up 4lb but has returned to serious calculations; more to prove if the ground is softer than good. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Pontefract (1m) in June but he beat only one in 1m Redcar handicap a week ago; much more is required from this course scorer. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
After wind surgery it was a much better effort on his third start of this year when down in grade and attracting support before third of seven at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; has form on good to soft (no worse) and warrants a second look despite an unhelpful draw. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to go on from his reappearance when only tenth in 1m4f York handicap in May; has since undergone wind surgery though so last year's winner can't be discounted now back off the same mark. |
5/1 |

10th 11 (15) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins last summer, with two minor honours in the autumn including one here; ended last year on a low note and started this one with another, while pedigree leaves him with plenty to prove on this first go at 1m4f. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ended long losing run with emphatic success at Newcastle (1m2f) this month; still on a workable mark after 4lb rise and recent defeat on soft turf is not viewed harshly; no surprise if he features. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who was well on top last week in a 1m2f Class 5 at Newcastle where the visor returned; back up 4lb in stronger company but he has won here and might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has posted some good efforts this season but is without a win since September 2024, and finished behind Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster last time; visor returns and he has an each-way chance. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A two-time 1m winner here in 2025; made a promising return when fourth at Newmarket in May but well held in 1m handicaps at Carlisle and York since; has a bit to prove now. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who was completing a summer hat-trick when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) in August; back in form when third over that C&D (soft) three weeks ago and he's already down to his last winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |
10/1 |
