9th 2 (11) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he has come up well short twice, including C&D latest; handles any ground but others look better treated. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |
9/2 |

2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ripon specialist (ten wins at that track); run down only by Reigning Profit and Rock Of England when attempting to win the race named in his honour there (5f) 26 days ago; no issue with this return to 6f and has been placed here previously. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins at Catterick this spring (7f/6f, good); reportedly never travelling when below par there at the end of May and has had a break since; runner-up here in 2024 on sole previous Haydock visit; not ruled out. |

4th 2 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |
11/2 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago but he remains 4lb above the mark he defied at Haydock. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Multiple C&D winner, including this race back in 2021; well drawn to attack but he is yet to fire in 2026; now back in the care of Ann Duffield. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; however, failed to build on reappearance when well last of six over C&D at the end of May so his hopes are pinned on a change of stable (has left Stephen Hanlon) sparking a return to form. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark. |
