1st 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since 2024 but this veteran arrives in decent nick, runner-up at Newbury (7f) in June before a creditable tenth of 17 in 7f Ascot handicap last month; not totally dismissed. |
10/1 |

10th 7 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in May and also runner-up here in June/July (all good to firm; won on soft in Ireland earlier in career); has ended the summer in equally good form, including getting his head back in front at Newcastle (1m) 12 days ago but he's yet to win back to back in his 54-race career. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
An infrequent winner but he's run many good races on this track to go with his 7f win in late 2024; another sound effort when going close over this C&D on Wednesday and he shouldn't be far away. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The most recent of her six wins came at Doncaster (7f, good) in June and she ran well when third of 12 there last month; below her best on her last two starts but this C&D winner has each-way claims back on AW. |
22/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Inconsistent of late but her Doncaster form features wins in 2024/2026 and a creditable placed effort on penultimate outing; could go well returned to this venue. |
11/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run well in two of her last three races, last time dictating a modest pace at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); came up short there but has to be feared here. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Only 1-17 and the win, over 7f here last summer, was for Marco Botti; however, good runs on either side of a break at Doncaster (7f), latterly close up in a race not run to suit; stays 1m and probably needs it now. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Marco Botti last June; back on song for his current stable when second of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Rejuvenated by the fitting of cheekpieces and doubled his tally in 7f Redcar handicap five days ago; well drawn there but scored emphatically so not taken lightly under a 5lb penalty. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (18) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His sole success came at Doncaster (7f) on good to soft ground last July and he stepped up on a couple of modest efforts this term when fairly close fifth of 12 over that C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; has dropped to a workable mark and may have a say if widest stall proves no barrier. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a first win over C&D last July but well below that level in five subsequent starts, although he suffered a poor run when tenth of 12 in 1m Ripon handicap in June; cheekpieces go on after a break. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m win here in June when rated 1lb higher; not beaten far here on his last two starts but he was slightly disappointing when a well-supported favourite on the second occasion. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

4/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Went up the weights for back-to-back 7f wins on turf in July and held since despite Toby Moore claiming his allowance; Billy Loughnane takes over but could be vulnerable off current mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |

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 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

9th 7 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back. |
5/1 |

10th 2 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back in fine form this summer since stepped up to 7f and he narrowly completed a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty at Ayr 19 days ago; this strong traveller merits serious consideration despite a further 3lb rise. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off reduced mark at Pontefract (6f, good) in June and also has a C&D success on his CV but needs to up his game after three down-the-field turf runs this summer (6f-7f). |

11th 1 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (6f) in June but below par in big-field 6f handicaps at York on his last two runs; this course scorer needs to bounce back on a rare run over 7f. |

13th 22 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Run of in-frame efforts came to an end here two weeks ago but he still ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; still likely vulnerable at this level. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner whose AW mark has eased after three no-shows on turf and who's now 1lb lower than when successful at Newcastle last winter; currently 3-10 for Billy Loughnane and a better showing can be expected. |

8th 12 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No problem with fast turf but he has a much better strike-rate on AW; midfield finish at Doncaster last month didn't suggest he is the answer here. |
