8th 10 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year. |

1st 12 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |

2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |

Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run is up to 13 but he went close at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in July and backed that up with a good second at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher back on AW and he should be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this season, the latest off a 10lb higher mark at Beverley (7.4f) in July; although he has been unplaced in all five AW runs, he has shown some aptitude for this surface; shouldn't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
17th 5 (15) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins have been on good ground or quicker, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f) in July, but he was third of 11 there on heavy ground last time (8.5f; cheekpieces back on); step up to 1m2f isn't sure to suit. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Three victories this year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run with credit on soft ground, but all wins have come on good or faster. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won a total of four 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Carlisle between last November and June; broadly not in the same form since; others are more appealing at the weights. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Went up the weights for his 1m wins on fast ground at Carlisle this summer but back to some form with a 4l fifth on heavy at Beverley 13 days ago; hard to know whether the return of cheekpieces (in which he's 5100) is a good thing or not. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained back-to-back wins at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) in May/June, but a rise in grade has caught him out in his last two starts; back in quieter waters, but the likely ground conditions may not play to his strengths. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Not at the top of his game at Beverley on last two starts but hasn't run badly and before those he won at Carlisle (7f, good to soft); has a handy record here, including a C&D win on soft, and he's a possible player. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has come down 9lb in the weights since July but hasn't offered enough in his two outings for new yard to suggest he's likely to capitalise this afternoon. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Sole success came in a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) for George Boughey last September; went off the boil on turf for Stuart Williams this summer; still below form on debut for new yard 16 days ago but that performance gave encouragement for this new, longer trip; 10lb below his peak mark and not dismissed. |
25/1 |

7th 13 (13) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Sole success came in a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) for George Boughey last September; makes his stable debut having recently changed hands for 8,500gns; well beaten in one start on soft ground and visor removed after one use; best watched. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |

Fairly useful 1m handicapper who has a particularly good record at Pontefract, winning three times; respectable third back there on latest start; has the ability to play a big role. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
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. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up on sole start here (1m2f); she recorded two wins on good to soft at around this trip in the spring but got tired on heavy ground at Beverley 17 days ago; that came after an 80-day break, however, and she's a contender to step forward this time. |
16/1 |
|
9th 10 (4) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
2-4 so far this year, her latest win coming at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) in May; a 7lb rise looked to find her out back there (soft) the following month and is only 1lb lower now; may find others are better handicapped. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
She has looked an improved performer this year, winning at Beverley on her reappearance (8.5f, good to soft) and adding a C&D fillies' handicap last month (good to soft); up in class and now taking on male opposition but she shouldn't be underestimated. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |
13/2 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |

9st 12lb |
Won Group 3 and Listed races (7f/1m) much earlier in career; had ups and downs from 6f to 1m1f this year, his latest narrow defeat at Musselburgh on Wednesday coming in a seller; unknown quantity on belated AW debut. |

5th 2 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
One-time Classic prospect whose second of seven at Sandown (1m, good) in May suggested there was still some fun to be had; heavy ground may have scuppered him at Beverley three weeks ago but that brought his losing run up to 18; dangerously handicapped but he beat only one home in last term's Great St Wilfrid on his sole previous attempt at sprinting. |
