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. |

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. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better than ever this season, with form figures of 3112, and her latest win was over C&D (good); usually comes from off the pace and she split two rivals who raced more prominently when runner-up here in June; returns after a short break but she's strongly respected off same mark as last time. |

2nd 6 (9) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Better than ever this season and she went 2-3 for the campaign in 11-runner handicap over C&D 11 days ago; showed a good attitude there so merits serious consideration nudged up 2lb. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |

16th 17 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |

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 |

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. |

9st 5lb |
Unexposed maiden; underwent wind surgery prior to last week's good third at Thirsk (5f, good; tongue tied first time); today's stiffer test will suit and he should have a bigger run in him soon. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed 3yo who showed clear promise in novice events but he was beaten 14l on his handicap debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; had wind surgery since but he needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added after a short break. |

1lb below his last winning mark but usually misses the break and has finished out of the frame in all five starts this year; rain would help. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |

Two of his four wins have come over C&D, the latest in June off a 2lb lower mark; come up short in two Class 4 runs since; not discounted back down in grade. |

June win came in a small field at Catterick (5f) but he finished behind Kodiac Thriller when only seventh of nine at Ripon next time; well beaten on only run at York; bit to prove. |

9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |

1st 5 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Got up late to win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; denied clear run when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time and kept on for third at Thirsk (6f, good) last Saturday; it's possible he'll get going too late back down to 5f but the stiff track and strong pace will help; chance. |

Returned to action with a win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and she ran a cracker at Beverley one month later; not so good twice since and a lower draw would have been preferred. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider. |

Won twice over 6f on good ground in May; beaten favourite in his last four starts while leaving the impression this mark was still in range if things panned out better for him; shortlist material. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Doubled his tally when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and ran well when third here over 6f two weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added but he will likely need them to go a good gallop dropped back in trip. |

A fair 5f juvenile winner; back to form with fourth in 5f Beverley handicap in May and didn't enjoy a smooth run (also stumbled 1f out) when sixth of seven at Pontefract (5f) last time; returns from a break in a competitive race and others may have his measure. |

Has been rather disappointing since winning off 1lb lower at Ripon in April (6f, good to soft), including in cheekpieces two runs ago (last of 13 at York); effective at 5f; easier ground suits. |

Both wins have been at Ripon over 6f, the most recent on good to soft in April; reported to have bled from the nose when failing to beat a rival at York (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) last month and needs to bounce back. |

Verdict
Soft ground is an unknown for some of the more interesting contenders, namely Simba’s Pride and Qila. There are no such concerns for Tiriac and he should be involved if not conceding too much ground at the start but DREAM DEAL has run two good races here this season and could be the answer.[Paul Smith]
