30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |

5th 18 (6) |

9st 4lb |
Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Had a visor on for the first time when finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m3f, good) in July and went one better at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four weeks ago, gaining his first success for this stable; a 3lb rise looks fair. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Navan (1m2f, good) last April when trained by Joseph O'Brien; ran his best race since joining current stable when second of five at Carlisle (1m3f, good; first-time visor) last month but his task will now be to back that up. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) in May and at Musselburgh (2m, good) the following month; down the field at the latter track last month but bounced back to form with a good second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a week ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner who was since won again; may not have his own way in front but has to be respected; due to be 2lb higher. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been below that level on his last three outings. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden who had a couple of near misses in July, including behind Al Maslool at Chester (12.3f); looks interesting on that form, but he hung badly right at Beverley last time and needs to step up again after that well-held third of five. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has belied a pedigree not obviously conducive to middle distances in recording two recent near misses, including a neck third at Chester latest (1m4f, good) with three reopposing rivals held; chance off an unchanged mark, assuming no adverse reaction to the debuted cheekpieces. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Raced prominently when placed twice in a row over C&D (good to firm) in July; 4lb out of the handicap today and finished held in fourth at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) recently, having failed to settle in midfield, but he might have an each-way shout back here; sole win came on heavy ground. |

Runner-up at York (16.2f, good to firm) last month and good third to Vaguely Royal there (16.2f, good to firm) last time; this in-form 4yo has an each-way shout once more. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She had been running with credit this season prior to her comfortable win at Musselburgh (1m5f, good); up 6lb but she still has handicapping scope on last year's best; all wins on good ground but appears to handle soft. |
3/1 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Gained all four hurdle wins over C&D; not at best this year and never really got competitive when tried over 2m4f here last month but wears a first-time tongue-tie and can't be ruled out off current mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Finished third behind Perseus Way in this race 12 months ago and he is rated 5lb lower this time around; comes here on the back of three solid efforts, including a 1m5f win at Ayr, and holds each-way claims again. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good and has a couple of heavy-ground wins to his name; 0-13 here but has gone close more than once and arrives in form, having responded well to a switch to front-running at Ayr last month; leading claims upped 2lb. |

Is 0-19 but largely running well this season, third of seven in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle last time; one to consider from an easing mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
18-race maiden but he was in good form prior to a lesser effort at Redcar (1m1f, good to firm) last month; may be able to bounce back but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |
