On a long losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth of nine in 7f Redcar handicap 13 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

0-6 but has shown promise and was just held by Havana Pursuit over C&D (good to soft; first-time visor) latest; 1lb better off with that opponent for a neck and has the scope to do better; player. |

Improving steadily and he returned from nearly eight months off with a good fourth of eight in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; that form has worked out well so he must enter calculations. |

Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip. |

2-3 over C&D and she's now 3lb lower than for her Class 5 success here in April; two creditable efforts at Pontefract since joining this yard; one to take seriously. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft. |

Best known as a Ripon specialist with ten wins there, including his last two starts of 2025; has won fresh, but has tended to need his reappearance in recent years. |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
