17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year. |

1st 12 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |

2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 11lb lower but he's 0-11 since and has been out of sorts this season; has plenty to prove and slow starts have been an issue in three of his last four runs. |

7th 1 (7) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 9lb lower but he's 0-10 since that last success and has been out of sorts this season; has bit to prove and he needs to break much better than last time. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not as good now and has his share of off days; back on a winning mark, though, has a C&D win to his name and this is less competitive than he's used to returning from ten weeks off. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
It was leg three of a four-timer when he beat Box To Box in this 12 months ago so he was in flying form back then; hit and miss this campaign, but has posted figures of 112 in three of his races and this mark isn't beyond him. |
10/1 |
|
11th 7 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 2112 since wearing a visor and dropped back from middle distances (maiden previously); ran creditably at Sandown (7f) most recently, despite pulling hard; may still have further progress in him, especially if settling better; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Mostly campaigned over middle distances but the recent drop to 7f has been the making of him; surged clear under Oisin Murphy to win over C&D (good to firm; unraced on softer than good) three weeks ago and a 9lb rise looks fully justified; thriving and needs taking seriously once more. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Returns to his usual trip after finding 7.5f too short last time; however, perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there; visits Doncaster for the first time. |
16/1 |
|
12 (4) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A two-time 1m2f scorer here this summer but he turned in a rare poor effort when eighth of nine here last time; possibly found that run coming too quickly though so still enters calculations. |
8/1 |
|
8 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D on good to firm in July and August and he was a close third six days ago on his only other visit to this track; ridden by Zak Wheatley in all but one of his races this season; considered in hot race. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2025; little to enthuse about this season however and he came in last of seven at Ripon (1m2f) last time; blinkers are reached for now. |
40/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times here (1m) in his first four starts for this trainer in 2025; has found life tough from an elevated mark since; "stopped quickly" in added cheekpieces at Ayr (1m2f; 22-1, beaten 36l) latest; risky proposition. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Did well for new stable last season, winning three times over 1m at Ripon; also suited by 1m2f, but launched this campaign with two low-key runs (7f/1m) and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
