4th 5 (1) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkered for the first time when gaining a deserved first success in 13-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f) 24 days ago; up 3lb but he's a player in the retained headgear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he has shown winning potential, including when keeping on for fourth at Southwell on Sunday having been short of room over 1f out; has to prove his stamina for a stiff 7f though. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Last win was at stiff Carlisle and he was runner-up over C&D earlier this month when prominent throughout; that was on soft ground and he's off the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his first 6f success when making all in an amateur riders' event at Carlisle in June; not so good since but this return to a Class 6 will be in his favour. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month; creditable fourth over 6f here next time but below par back at Carlisle 19 days ago; former C&D winner but has yet to defy a mark this high. |

He has been threatening in recent starts but he moves back up in class today and has the widest stall to overcome. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

6f places off this mark on his last three outings, but 2-25 overall (below form on sole start here) and there's been no win since 2024. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Without a win since 2024 but posted his best effort of the season when third of 13 in 6f handicap at Hamilton six days ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Hasn't won since his juvenile days, but was a close fourth over C&D last time (soft) and has an each-way chance on that form. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins as a 2yo but he has drawn a blank since; continues to drop in the weights but he was well beaten in his only run on soft ground. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March but he's not matched that form since and was always in rear at Thirsk three weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last win but he needs to revive back on Polytrack; cheekpieces added. |
14/1 |
|
11th 10 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March; not matched that form subsequently though and never threatened when ninth of 15 to The Childe Of Hale at Redcar (7f) five days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first race since making a winning debut in 2024 when narrowly landing a 7f AW handicap in March; now just 1lb higher after some lesser efforts but it was a respectable fourth at Ayr (good to firm) in May and his staying-on fifth over 6f at Hamilton (soft) one week ago was a fair effort; worth a second look. |

Won a 6f handicap here (good to firm) in July off a 1lb higher mark; handles soft ground but the worry is that he might get going too late back at 5f. |
6/1 |
|
6th 12 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

C&D win in July off this mark; late headway back at 5f here 12 days ago and the return to this trip will suit; not discounted. |

5th 12 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Maiden who has finished no closer than fifth in eight runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-15 and others are preferred. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

7th 5 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish 4yo who is still a maiden after 13 starts and has form figures of 996957 for his current yard; dropped another 2lb but he needs to raise his game on this return to AW. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
In fine form in the spring, winning three 6f handicaps at Southwell before finishing second over 5f here off a 9lb higher mark; his form has gone the wrong way since, including when backed into favouritism at Newcastle 13 days ago; not solid. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won three sprint handicaps at Southwell in the spring; form has dipped more recently but he has slipped in the weights and Jack Nicholls takes off a handy 5lb; market instructive. |

8th 11 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Course specialist who took this race in 2022 and 2023; 3lb lower than for July's C&D win but she has gone off the boil more recently and there is other pace to contend with today. |
14/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question. |
11/2 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
12-time C&D winner including three this summer; no impact in her last three starts, but her last success was off only 1lb lower and she battled well when landing this race last year; not ruled out. |

9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |

7th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of four of his 15 starts, all in sprint handicaps on ground slower than good; unlikely this mark will prove beyond him and he is fresh for an autumn campaign but still likely to come on for this first run following a 298-day absence; had a wind op (his second) prior to this return. |
10/1 |

8 (5) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Best efforts were his three wins on good to soft and soft, two of them over Carlisle's stiff 6f last summer but he managed to get up late on over 5f at Catterick at start of this month (3lb higher today); 7f on heavy did not work out eight days later and he never threatened, after niggled along from some way out, when beaten over 4l at Leicester (5f, soft) yesterday. |
