4th 4 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

4th 1 (2) |

Retains plenty of vitality aged eight but completed his May/June four-timer in Class 6 and was soundly beaten when back up in grade last time; current mark leaves him in a difficult spot. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
3lb below last winning mark in October; only real effort of note in five runs after a wind operation was when second on the Flat in June; likely to go from the front. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner; C&D record reads 111244, albeit Arctic Voyage beat her 11l here in July and she finished 27l fourth in this race last year; back on her last winning mark, but vulnerable to less exposed types. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple hurdle winner over 2m-2m1f who is 1-6 on turf in this code (1m4f win on soft); below her best in both codes across her last two starts but if able to reproduce her Ripon effort from mid-June (1m4f, good) then she could come into this over a shorter trip but a much stiffer track. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; better form when runner-up both starts since, latterly over 1m6f here on good to firm; should give another good account. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; beaten favourite but bettered that winning RPR when second (well clear of rest) at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; gets the vote. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Easy win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but not at that level in six runs since; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last April; looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in June but he's been below his best in both starts since; needs to return to form back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Gained a first win in over two years over C&D in July but he has been well held in a pair of handicaps at Ripon since; needs to take a big step forward. |
14/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts in next two starts and he had an excuse here last time, when he got hampered by a faller; now only 1lb higher than for that last success and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Successful at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month and that has been followed by two solid runs, the latest at Beverley on Tuesday; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

8st 12lb |
Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 12l when second of five at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month and he's struggled in both starts since; this drop back in trip may help but others are preferred. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 13l when second of five over this C&D (good to firm) last month and was well beaten at Newcastle (2m, AW) four days ago; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW in France (1m, 9.5f); mainly disappointing for new yard, although fair third of five in first-time visor at Beverley two runs ago (1m4f, good to firm); on a fair mark, but beaten more than 8l on two tries at this trip. |

His two turf wins last summer came off higher marks, including in an amateurs' handicap; moderate form this year and the blinkers, worn once before when pulled up over fences, are given another try. |

6th 2 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Has made the frame several times this year including when third of seven over C&D (good to soft) in May, but a record of 0-22 is hard to ignore. |

|
4th 7 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed a few times this year but well beaten at Newcastle two starts ago and she hung badly left and unseated her rider at Ripon last Thursday; remains a maiden after 20 starts and others make greater appeal. |
