10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All three wins in handicaps when making all, including when visored for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) nine days ago; escapes a penalty for that success (due a 2lb rise) and he makes the shortlist, albeit he isn't sure to have things his own way in front. |

1st 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poorly drawn when down the field over C&D two weeks ago but she had earlier run well for second in a 0-60 here; better drawn today and she should have a big run in her. |

9th 7 (11) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Six-time winner who is exposed and was always ideally placed when runner-up here a month ago; still unlikely to be far away. |

2nd 8 (7) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won 7f Lingfield classified in February and was placed in that grade two starts ago but she's fully exposed and, on balance, others in this line-up look stronger. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win (0-12); twice placed since joining this trainer, including when a keeping-on third at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) three weeks ago; that form has been boosted by the winner and fourth; wide draw to overcome in stall 12. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bettered underwhelming stable debut when rallying third in maiden handicap at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; recent 3lb drop is helpful and this return to Tapeta should suit; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on his best form for Seb Spencer but he's been out of sorts in his last four runs including when last of eight on stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; overall record is now 0-10 and he needs a major revival. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins were 8.6f on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's been third on all four visits here; having been back to his best with latest win 11 days ago, and run creditably under Jude Maher the time before; each-way claims. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good running-on fourth of nine in 7f handicap here two weeks ago; a player off the same mark with this step back up in trip also a plus and Oisin Murphy now up. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 8.6f course winner during the winter and left low-key reappearance run behind when placed over that trip here in July; current mark ought to be workable but he needs to prove himself over 7f and is only Jude Maher's second ride under rules. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
13th-time lucky when winning an 8.6f classified event at Wolverhampton in July; ran well for second under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) six days later; midfield finish off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; has shown promise on turf and Tom Marquand has a good record for the yard. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won 8.6f classified here in July and was second in that grade under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) a few days later; evidently in good nick but has a bit more on his plate in this handicap and is not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Gained a breakthrough success over 7f here in June; not disgraced when sixth of nine in 7f handicap there four weeks ago given he suffered a poor run; not out of things back up in trip. |

6th 7 (6) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Came good in C&D classified in June, his 12th start, and didn't appear to have the race run to suit when keeping on from the rear for fifth in C&D handicap in July; remains one to be interested in. |

5th 8 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Got off the mark when winning a C&D classified event last month and looked unfortunate not to finish closer when seventh in a handicap here over 8.6f 24 days ago; makes appeal. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Inconsistent filly who has posted best efforts when third over 7f on last two turf outings, including in maiden handicap at Carlisle on penultimate start; something to prove back up in trip. |

7th 9 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

0-11 but gave it a good shot from the front when third at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, after a seven-month break, and has possibilities here if that run brought her on. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins when trained in Ireland; ran well for second on his stable debut (7f, AW) in July but not so good twice since; not sure what to expect but further rain certainly won't hurt his chance. |
14/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |

10th 1 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

On a losing run but he made a good start for new yard (formerly with Stephen Hanlon) with second of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |

Five-time AW winner but hasn't offered anything since his turf win in June, latterly here; Billy Loughnane rides but that's the main positive. |
12/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
