1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D (good to firm) two runs ago but prior to that he won at Ripon (5f, good), and he posted a respectable effort at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; he's won here four times; not ruled out. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Exposed ten-time winner who was down the field in this 12 months ago when 1lb higher; won at Ripon this month (no headgear) before finishing fifth of seven 11 days ago at Pontefract (visored); a long time since he wore blinkers. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Good second over C&D in June before winning decisively at Pontefract the following month; not at his best here last month (5.4f, good) but he wasn't ideally drawn; still has relatively low mileage and needs consideration. |
10/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in small fields this summer and only six ran when he was second at Pontefract three weeks ago (5f, good to firm); showed he could be effective in a bigger field when second of 15 over 5f here in June but he's 9lb higher today. |

2nd 2 (1) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Had a near miss in a big field at York in June (5f, good to firm); hit with a 5lb rise for that but made light of it with a ready C&D win last month (good); failed to pick up on slower ground when favourite at Goodwood 17 days ago but wouldn't hold that against him; unexposed at 5f. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has drawn a blank since scoring over C&D in July 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and latest keeping-on fourth of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) was encouraging with a return to a stiff 5f in mind (all six wins here and at Pontefract). |
11/2 |

4th 13 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seems to be going through the motions and his losing run stretches back over two years; needs to stop the slide but he's on a dangerous mark if staging a revival, so impossible to rule out. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Off a reduced mark he won a 5f handicap at Pontefract (good ground) 54 days ago; still has handicapping scope off 3lb higher. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Placed a few times this season, including when favourite at Catterick last time; back up in grade but he's 3lb below last winning mark and seems to have a fighting chance. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

11th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |
