17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Best known as a sprinter now but stays 1m perfectly well; ran well from the front before fading into fourth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and will appreciate this ease in grade; can make a bold bid. |
8/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He's won over 7f but his two July course wins came over 6f; well handicapped now and although his form seems to have slacked off since he went close over this C&D in June this is his first 7f run since; not ruled out. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably behind Sandy Craic over C&D in June; similar form at Newmarket last month; each-way shout. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Should be well treated but she has rather been going through the motions this year; latest fourth was a fair run but more is needed for her to return to winning ways. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (8) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 7f scorer for current yard in 2025; not proving easy to catch right this season though and comes here on the back of a below-form seventh of ten in 7f Haydock handicap ten days ago. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly consistent sort; ran up to her best when runner-up here (6f) 11 days ago; first-time hood replaces visor and good chance that stepping back up in trip can eke out further improvement. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to get off the mark but recorded ninth top-three finish in 13 starts when runner-up at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month, on first try at this distance; looks a matter of time before she gets on the scoresheet. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
12-race maiden who was runner-up behind the progressive Naana's Shadow here over 5f in April; respectable effort at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) eight days ago and now returns to maiden company with stamina to prove on her first try over 7f. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Opened his account when winning at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he's posted two respectable efforts since, including when racing alone at Leicester (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; below his best on his only previous try on the AW. |
9/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Belatedly opened his account at Epsom (7f) in July and not disgraced with fifth of nine in another 7f handicap there 25 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won on the AW on her first two starts in July 2024 but she's without a win since; had cheekpieces on for the first time when runner-up to a well-treated rival at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last month before a respectable fourth of ten on the AW at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid place chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark and has proven wildly inconsistent since; one of her better efforts on a rare turf start last time, when flying off in front in first-time cheekpieces, but she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Game effort to win a minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month; never in the hunt at Musselburgh two weeks later; could prove vulnerable again. |
14/1 |

8th 8 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Gamely prevailed by a neck at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last time, doubling his tally; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form; looks likely to remain competitive. |

9st 5lb |
Second on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in July but not in same form on any of three starts since, and ought to have been suited by return to Tapeta when down the field a week ago; needs to up his game. |
16/1 |

9th 10 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Often front-runner, including when 8.6f winner here last December; second at Pontefract (1m; not proven over this far) in July has been followed by two lesser efforts but he's back to his winning mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
His last two wins have come over C&D and he ran creditably in a 0-50 classified event here in June; below par since and easy enough to have reservations. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in sole 1m attempt, raced over shorter otherwise; ran respectably last time in a Leicester classified event he'd landed 12 months earlier; hasn't won a handicap since 2023. |
