Signed off as a 2yo with two 6f wins, the second in a heavy-ground handicap; reportedly benefited from the faster surface (good to firm) when going away in the finish at York (first run at 1m) and this stiffer track promises to suit him well; going the right way and Frankie rides for the first time. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Serial slow starter who ended a losing run off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster 11 days ago before bumping into a well-handicapped winner over C&D last Thursday; holds claims, especially if he can get away on terms for a change. |

Often slowly away, just as he was when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last week having dropped a long way in the weights; has to be respected under a 5lb penalty. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In good form after returning in May including wins at Newmarket (1m, soft) and Chester (7.7f, good), but out of the frame in his last three starts; may not want the ground to dry out too much and probably needs further than this now in any case. |
3/1 |

5th 9 (7) |
26th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Progressive against his own age group, winning two of his first three starts (1m, soft/about 7f, good) before having a troubled run in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; however, he wasn't the same horse at Newmarket in July and an easy 7f may be a bare minimum for him. |

Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |

5th 5 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

Runner-up at Epsom and here before an excusable defeat at Ascot after getting a worked up in the stalls; the principal concern would an apparent preference for drier ground. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |
7/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here at 1m who has also been involved in tight finishes over C&D, most recently in January; this will probably take more winning though and he needs more than he's shown on his last two turf starts. |
9/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Good C&D record includes a win in this race (good to firm) off 1lb higher last year; good second at Southwell (7f) in January but always behind over C&D four months later; may well have needed that outing but needed to see more to be confident. |

Won 7f Ayr novice as 2yo; hard to assess on 2023 form, having been highly tried in Group race before 1m looked too far on handicap debut here in May; return to 7f should suit but has something to prove overall. |

Won at Ayr (7f, good) last August on her second start and remains lightly raced, but she was soundly beaten in a Group 2 over C&D (good) in September when last seen, and others have much stronger claims. |

9st 8lb |
Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact. |

Won twice for Richard Fahey in the summer of 2024 but lost his way; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; gambled on but well held on stable debut at Thirsk (7f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); may be worth another chance off sliding mark. |

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. |

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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |

Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Going the right way, and a handicap win at Doncaster (1m2f) last month was a career best; however, he's up significantly in grade here and will need another jolt of improvement to follow up; the Doncaster run was his first encounter with soft ground, so the more rain that falls, the better. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |

Scored by wide margin here (1m Class 4) in May; creditable second off this 9lb higher mark on two occasions since, latest at Newbury (good to soft) upped to 1m2f; could go well again. |
